To activate the ability to practice on any stage, press A + B + C + Start on the title screen. If you did it correctly, you will see a new option appear before starting a new game called "Stage Practice".
To get an Unused bonus worth 10,000 points, beat any level without using your Ninjustu magic.
To get a Shinobi bonus worth 50,000 points, beat any level without using a shuriken to kill an enemy.
To get a peaceful bonus worth 100,000 points, beat any level without killing any of the enemies.
To get a just-in-time bonus worth 200,000 points, beat any boss within the last 10 seconds remaining.
In the bonus stage, you're free-falling and must defeat enemies. If you either eliminate all of them or avoid them entirely, you'll earn an extra life.
Yabia, the third boss, is located at the top of the Statue of Liberty. You can defeat her without even engaging in combat. Simply wait for her to land, then crouch and slowly walk toward her.
She will continue to back away until she eventually falls off the ledge. It's even easier to push her off from the left side. Make sure to avoid the saw blades that she often throws at you.
The following cheat codes are for Game Genie. These can be used on a Sega Genesis (Genesis) with a Game Genie device or you can use these on any emulator that supports Game Genie Codes. If you want a Game Genie device, you can always check online for one.
