Ninja Gaiden/Act III

You'll find yourself in Las Vegas next. When you begin this stage, three enemies will be waiting for you to arrive. You are actually not required to fight any of them because you can simply jump up and grab onto the bar above, and then pull yourself up so that you are walking on the bar. As you advance to the right, you must watch out for the round objects which rotate around the bar, as they can hurt you. A kabuki fighter will appear, followed by several ninjas. Make your way to the right and then jump off onto the next roof top. Above the left side of the roof is a pipe that you can grab on to, to kick the log swinging enemy into the sign to the right. Then drop down to the sidewalk below.

Five enemies will be huddled up behind a sign; two masked brawlers, two tonfa wielders, and one log swinger. As you start fighting them, a helicopter will fly by with a man hanging from a ladder while wielding a club. One hit is enough to send both the man and the pilot crashing to the ground, but another pair will take their place shortly after. Defeat all of the enemies to proceed to the right. A sign post will be hanging from the building that you pass, which you can use to take out the next set of fighters; three brawlers and a log swinger. More helicopter pairs will appear as well.

You continue to walk alongside a building while more brawlers and log swingers attack. Try to push them into various obstacles in the hopes that you might find swords or health capsules. Eventually, you will reach an elevated platform, where a ninja will jump down from and attack you. You can jump up to this platform (you must below it first) and hang from either of the signposts above or below, in order to safely eliminate the three wrestlers that approach you. Then drop down and head over to the next signpost, and hang on while you take on three brawlers and two tonfa wielders.

As you approach the end of the stage, you will be greeted by what appears to be an extremely tall man. Then he will open his cape and reveal that he is actually three shorter men stacked up on top of one another. The boss battle against these three clawed fighters will commence. A popcorn stand is positioned along the right side of the screen, and although it may be extremely tempting to push one of the enemies into to obtain an item, the stand is actually a valuable tool. By standing below it, you can use the stand to separate you from the remaining enemies while you focus your attack on just one fighter. Try to keep the other fighters stuck above the stand, and lure one of the enemies towards you so you can attack him. If the stand is destroyed and more than one enemy is approaching you, try to rely on Flying Neck Throws to reduce their numbers. Once the last one is defeated, you will advance to the next stage.
