Ninja Senki/Gameplay

Advanced Techniques
Drop and Jump: There are certain times when a coin is floating over an endless pit in between two platforms and you just have to get it. Simply drop off the ledge to grab it and jump to perform a double-jump and get out of danger.

Water Skip: When Hayate comes in contact with water he creates a splash, immediately press jump once again. You will have to keep pressing jump in order to stay afloat or you will sink like a rock.

Hayate
You are Hayate, the main character of Ninja Senki, and he is on a quest to get revenge on the ninja demon, Shiro, for killing his beloved Kinuhime. But as the story implies can avenging her death really bring her back? He is a blue ninja who attacks by throwing ninja stars at anyone who gets in his path. He is able to double-jump, with the second jump being a small hop, to get him to high locations. With his limited techniques, Hayate is able to overcome all obsticles in his way.

Kinuhime
Kinuhime is the princess of Hayate's clan and his love interest, but at the start of the game in the intro video she is killed by the ninja demon, Shiro. Her role in the game is pretty much the same as in all games with a princess, only thing is that she is dead, so it's up to Hayate to seek out revenge and rescue... err avenge her death. But can revenge really bring her back?
