Item holder
My lord carries this scroll with him
at all times. I have never asked him
what it contains, but the rumor is
that its secrets made him the wealthy
and powerful man he is today. But it
might just be a love letter or something.

Skill Star[]

The Skill Star appears when the enemy ninjas shoot four arrows in a row.

Ninja 2P (忍者 2P?, Ninja 2P) is the 3rd Rhythm Game of Stage 3 (11th overall) in the 2P mode of Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade).

The arrange version, Ninja no Shison 2P, appears in Stage 5 of the 2P mode of Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)

It plays the same as the 1P version, except the two players take turns on each section. This effectively doubles the length of the game.

Trivia[]

  • This is the only Rhythm Game in the entire series to start with a skippable cutscene instead of a Practice.
    • The game did, however, get a Practice in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, which leads into the cutscene. In it, the arrows are shot by allied Ninjas at a wooden dummy with a face drawn on it, which replaces the Lord. The face itself is a Henohenomoheji, an arrangement of Hiragana characters used to represent a generic human face.
  • This game and Ninja no Shison are the only games to have their controls changed in the arcade version.
  • A lot of the visual design of this game was reused in Dog Ninja in Rhythm Heaven, such as similar looking towers to the ones in the cutscene, and a similar prologue: A big yellow moon with grass in foreground, in a dark blue sky.
