The Last Ninja/The Wilderness

The Climb
On this level, you will automatically receive an extra life if you had one left. This is the only time you will receive an extra life without special effort - all others must be obtained through apples.

You start the level approaching a gate. This gate is closed and can't be opened, but you can collect the claw from the statue. Proceed to the right, defeating the unarmed and bamboo cane guards. Select the claw and climb up the cliff.

As you proceed right, engage any enemy you encounter, and jump over the crevice. Collect the apple that briefly flashes in the cave and continue until you reach the wall. Walk backward to the wall with the clutch selected, to climb down, but make sure you avoid the missing brick on the wall.

Once you reach the bottom, continue to the right, and you will reach the first fork.

The Dragon
At the first fork, take the right exit and jump across the river. After the river is another fork; take the right path. In this next section, you can see an item; ignore it for now since it is on a timer. Continue along the path, killing the guard, until you find a pair of gloves. Return, getting the magic on the way back, and jump back across the river.

Upon returning to the first fork, take the west path, and jump across the swamp. When you see the fork, take the north path only.

When you see the set of bamboos, enter them and collect the bamboo cane. Continue along the path.

You should reach two stone dragons. When you approach the second one, it will start to breath fire, which cannot harm you as long as you are still protected by the magic. Exit the are to finish the level.
