The sword wielding Samurai are the first of many surprises that the castles will throw at you. Some of the doors in the castle are locked, and will remain locked until you defeat key enemies. These samurai are one such enemy. They track your vertical movement, never stepping left or right to approach you. They face you with their sword drawn ready to strike as soon as you get close. When you are close enough to strike, you must quickly swing your blade twice; once to deflect their blade, and once more to strike them down before they have a chance to swing their sword and retaliate. Alternatively you can move just out of range, close enough to cause the Samurai to raise their sword, and fire into your unprotected opponent. | The sword wielding Samurai are the first of many surprises that the castles will throw at you.

These | These Samurai are masters of the spear. When a threat approaches, they begin to twirl their blade around in a circle. They can still approach you as rotate. If you get too close, the spear will knock you down. You can attack from a distance, but many of your shots will be deflected by the spear. Only persistent attacks will slip past the whirling blade. A lucky inside strike can knock them down, but it's generally too dangerous to attempt. | ||

They appear to block an exit, and throw bombs at you. Use the same strategy that you use against Shinobus. Lure the next bomb toss to one location, and quickly get out of the way while you approach and get inside for a quick strike. Be careful, though, as these guards tend to throw bombs much faster than their outdoor cousins. | ||

As you wander through the castles, you will encounter the rooms of the princesses being held captive in their rooms. Ordinarily, when you approach a princess, they will turn to greet you and reward you with 8,000 points and an extra life. But on occasion, the princess that you find may turn out to be the jealous spirit of an enraged departed female. Once you get close to these spirits, they show you their true form, and float around the room to attack you. They are quite strong, and you must react quickly to avoid their attack. You will be awarded 8,000 point for defeating them, but no extra life. These enemies will also follow you around the castle if you go out of the area that it is in until it is killed. | As you wander through the castles, you will encounter the rooms of the princesses being held captive in their rooms.

The Jakki of Murasame Castle replace the standard Ninjas that appeared elsewhere. They move about much like Ninjas and they can throw two different projectiles. One is the standard flame projectile while the other is a multi-colored projectile that can be deflected like a throwing star. They move and attack quickly, so don't remain in one place for long. Takamaru should generally not concern himself with them unless they get directly in his way. | The Jakki of Murasame Castle replace the standard Ninjas that appeared elsewhere.

Certain | Certain entrance inside of Murasame Castle are protected by a moat and a drawbridge. To guard the drawbridge, two monster occupy either side. They scrunch down to build up energy, and pop up to release the energy in the form of eight projectiles that scatter in every directions. They rarely fire off at the same time, so you have time to prepare yourself and reach a safe location before the next one explodes. Both monsters must be defeated in order to lower the drawbridge and proceed to the next screen. | ||
