The Ninja Warriors/Stage 2

Once Kunoichi and Ninja have reappeared on the screen, start walking to the right as ten attack dogs come running towards you from both sides of the screen; once you have crouched down and stabbed (or thrown a shuriken at) each of them to kill them, a tank shall begin to be heard from the Yamaha YM-2610, so you will occasionally have to stop walking to the right as the shells that this tank is firing at you explode in front of you. Once the tank rolls into view from the right side of the screen, its driver will also start firing shots at you from the machine gun that's mounted on top of its turret - and once you have jumped up and thrown two shurikens at the driver, he will duck back down into the tank's turret, so you will have to jump onto the tank's body and drop back down off the other side of it as its turret rotates 180 degrees. The tank will then reverse back towards you, as its driver re-emerges from its turret, and continues firing shots at you from its machine gun; once you turn back to the left, jump up and throw two more shurikens at the driver, he shall duck back down into the turret again, and you'll have to jump back to the left onto the tank's body and drop back down off the other side of it once more as its turret rotates 180 degrees for a second time. The tank's driver will now re-emerge from its turret again and continue firing shots at you from its machine gun - and once you jump up and throw a fifth shuriken at him to kill him (he is worth 500 points), the tank shall momentarily stop moving as the driver's corpse falls out of its turret onto its body and off the bottom of the screen, but it will then reverse its direction towards you again, so you will have to jump back to the right onto its body and drop down off the other side of it once again (after it has gone, the sound of its engine shall also stop).

Seven light-green-uniformed soldiers (who, unlike the ones on the first stage, can perform flying kicks, and if they do so, you will either have to stand in a position where you know that they will land in front of you, or crouch down in one where you know that they will jump over you) will then drop down to the ground from the screen's top as three dark-green-uniformed soldiers come running towards you from both the screen's sides and fire a shot at you; once you crouch down and kill all of them twelve more light-green-uniformed soldiers will come running towards you from both sides of the screen as a purple-suited gangster emerges from behind a building and fires an infinite amount shots at you before ducking behind the building again once you get close enough to him. After you've killed all of these soldiers, a fire-breathing mutant shall drop down to the ground from the top of the screen - and if he breathes a flame at you while he's standing, you'll have to crouch down to attack him, but if he breathes one at you while he is crouching, you will have to jump to land in front of him just as his flame has died out, then crouch down and attack him before he has a chance to breathe another flame at you.

Once you have stabbed the mutant five times (or thrown five shurikens at him) to kill him for 1000 points and five extra shurikens, ten more light-green-uniformed soldiers will come running towards you from both sides of the screen; once you've killed all of them, five more dark-green-uniformed soldiers will come running towards you from the left side of the screen and fire a shot at you. Once you've crouched down and killed all of them, four more light-green-uniformed soldiers will come running towards you from both sides of the screen - and after you've killed all of them a ninth dark-green-uniformed soldier and five teal-uniformed ones (who, unlike the ones on the first stage, can also perform flying kicks) will come running towards you from the right side of the screen (with a non-attacking dark-green-uniformed commander), while three more light-green-uniformed soldiers come running towards you from both sides of the screen. If you do not kill all ten of these enemies quickly enough, the commander shall order Retreat! from the Yamaha YM-2610 and any survivors (including the commander himself) shall run back off the right side of the screen; eleven more light-green-uniformed soldiers will now come running towards you from both sides of the screen. Once you have killed all of them, two more dark-green-uniformed soldiers shall come running towards you from both the screen's sides and fire a shot at you - and after you crouch down and kill them both, two hunchbacked mutants shall appear in front of you (and like the ones on the first stage, every hit you manage to land on them will be indicated by them hissing from the Yamaha YM-2610).

Once you have stabbed both these mutants five times (or thrown five shurikens at both of them) to kill them (their deaths are also worth ten more extra shurikens), four more attack dogs (which, unlike those on the first stage and at the start of this one, can jump) will come running towards you from both sides of the screen; once you've killed all of these, a twelfth dark-green-uniformed soldier and two more teal-uniformed ones will come running towards you from the screen's right side, along with a second dark-green-uniformed commander (another purple-suited gangster shall also emerge from behind another building and fire off an infinite amount of shots at you before ducking behind the building again after you get close enough to him). Again, if you don't kill all four of the destructible enemies quickly enough, the commander will order Retreat! from the Yamaha YM-2610 and any survivors (including the commander himself) shall run back off the screen's right side - and three more teal-uniformed soldiers will then come running towards you from the right side of the screen. Once you've killed all of these, twenty-one more light-green-uniformed soldiers will come running towards you, from both sides of the screen; once you kill all of them, two more dark-green-uniformed soldiers will come running towards you from both sides of the screen and fire a shot at you. Once you have crouched down and killed both of these, three more light-green-uniformed soldiers will come running towards you from the right side of the screen - and once you've killed all of these, two more dark-green-uniformed soldiers will come running towards you from both sides of the screen and fire a shot at you. Once you have crouched down and killed both of them twelve more light-green-uniformed soldiers will come running towards you from both sides of the screen; once you have killed all of them, a seventeenth dark-green-uniformed soldier and two more teal-uniformed ones will come running into view from the right side of the screen, along with a third dark-green-uniformed commander. Once again, if you don't kill off all four of these enemies quickly enough, the commander shall order Retreat! from the Yamaha YM-2610 and any survivors (including the commander himself) will run back off the right side of the screen - and three more teal-uniformed soldiers will now come running towards you from the right side of the screen. Once you have killed all of them another tank will start to be heard from the Yamaha YM-2610 (but this time, you will have to jump back to the left, as the shells that the tank is firing at you explode in front of you); once the tank rolls into view through the open metal door on the right side of the screen, you'll have to repeat what you did for the first one earlier in this stage. Once you have killed the tank's driver and the tank has reversed its direction towards you for a second time, you'll have to jump back to the right onto its body, then drop down off the other side of it for a third time - and once you've done so, Kunoichi and Ninja will walk through that aforementioned open metal door on the right side of the screen. Both players will then receive a bonus of 50 points for every shuriken they have remaining (followed by one of 30 points for every fragment of energy they have remaining), and proceed to the third stage (which is the first stage to feature staircases, and they must be used to reach its boss within the five-minute time limit).
