After all of these years, Shinobi III is still one of the best looking 2-D games I've ever seen. I remember the screen shots EGM had in their magazine. I begged my parents to get this game.
I remember playing this back in 1996 when I was a 6th grader on my Sega Genesis. Back then we didn't have emulators to save states or tool hacks, it was all patience and pure skill. It took practice, but with concentration I beat this game several times on the hardest difficulty when I was only 10 years old. I loved this game.
Cool playthrough man god I remember that last section with the electrified walls taking me weeks to get through when I was a kid, watching this makes me wanna break out Shinobi 3 and trying beating it right now. Cool vid man.
I had the honor and privilege of hearing a professional band play all of Shinobi 3's music live at Berklee College of Music. It was OFF THE HOOK AWESOME!
My favorite game of all time.Hands down if someone ask me what I thought beat game ever was I'd say Shinobi III Return of the Ninja Master.I remember saving up my lunch $$$ to buy this brand new when it first came out at Kmart for $49.99 back in the day lol.And iv loved it ever since 1st time iv ever played it.Only reason I still own a Genesis;)
this game is one of my some other best sega genesis games, i beat it a couple times, there is no save point like nowadays game, thats what make old games hard to finish. thx for the vid.. :)
I've picked up this game for the first time when I was 5 years old. I never actually beat it until I was 7. Afterwards I played it for fun and beat it every time I sat down to play it. On one speed run I managed 40 minutes/Expert, but not without getting hit... I am now 19 years old and I am happy to say that your video forced me to download this game again! ^_^ All I need to know is how to record... Also... 23:45!??!?! WOW! and the drop after? Brilliant! Never knew it could be done that way!
this is one of the best single player games ever! so much fun, yet challenging too. it has a complete variety of levels.... not to mention the most epic soundtrack of all time.
Holy shit dude, I love this game, but now I feel so belittled by this guy's talent. He killed the bosses SO fast, I was especially surprised with Zeed, hahaha, mad props man, keep it up.
You played very nicely and cleanly,but in the 13:00 minute,it would have been much better if you had used the kunai barrage,in any case,I enjoyed your game,it reminded me of 29 years ago💝💝💝💝thank you💝💝💝💝
Muito bom mesmo, lembro que demorei umas cinco horas pra zerar shinobi a primeira que joguei. Mas depois que pega as manhas fica bem mais fácil. Parabéns fera, vc. mandou muito bem.
@HORSECHOKER305 if you look at 22:21 he used the "jitsu of karin" or something like that. He still has that power when he's running over the electricity but you can't see it because of the way the video has been recorded and uploaded. You can hear the lightning shield or whatever its called being attacked whilst he's running over it. There you go, its explained... unless of course you were trollin' Have a nice day =)
Ahh ok, the game was played with an emulator.. I wanted to say you are a big master lol.. I played this game manyyy times and I looove, for me the hardest boss was the final boss I losed 2-3 lifes in easy mode xD But you... Perfectionist !!! You did not lose any life point in the all game you are a big master Congratulation !!

nice play skill, grats man, i used to play this game a lot back on the old days and i thought i was kinda good, seen this video makes me want to play it again. Ppl keep saying i beat this i beat that but... it wasnt just fast but skilled run. nice one, 5 stars
You guys can also check out the manual from replacementdocs if you are wondering about controls or abilities. I personally am a bit confused at whats happening @ 23:35... but I've never gotten that far into the game as I've just started playing it. It looks like you can run on electrified floors too?
I think it's because he used his invincibility ability but didn't get hit for so long, so the "lightning" disappeared. When he was doing the wall jumps, I assume that was just a glitch. Keep in mind this is a "tool-assisted" playthrough.
THis is such a kool feeling, this 1 my number 1 game as a kis, me and my fruiends played this all the time. i only got to the lvl with the ninja guys with wings after the speed boat thing. ~Sigh~ i wanna play this sooo bad, brings a tear to my eye thinking back on all the good times i had... and its been 11 years now ='( im getting old x'0
I used to play this game so much back in the good old days. I've beaten it in all the modes--including hardest ones (no cheat) nada. Once you figure out the pattern after multiple plays, it isn't so hard. It is a cool game though (I like the soundtracks)
This was the uncharted of 1996. Best game & best soundtrack for its time. I finished it on pure effort alone when I was so young and will remember it always....
1. If you are close enough to an enemy, you will automatically use your sword when you press the attack button. 2. You have to double-tap the direction you want to move in to run.
one of my fav games ever! i remember completing it and then nobody at school would believe me, cz it was such a hard game! this was like 1994 probably.
I love this game and all the other games and sega genesis/megadrive is the truth next gen I mean like seriously who doesn't love the sega genesis/mega drive games? I surely do for only one reason cuz it haves games that's just so awesome that it kicks ass that's how awesome sega genesis/mega drive is and it is the truth gaming
The ninjitsu he uses @ 1:36 (he changes it) uses lives and not the ninjitsu power counter. When he uses it, he loses a life. He probaby did it for the sake of the speed run. If you look @ 8:10 he is uses the Kariu ninjitsu to defeat the Body Weapon boss a bit faster. He had two ninjitsu uses there and used them.
Actually, u r forgetting about the Ikazuchi he activated when he first entered the area Imposterian. The flashing is the shield, which takes up to four hits.
Okay, Memooo, I see what you're saying. I also caught a few other indications, like when he wasn't hit or effected when he should've been. And there was some other parts where he used the matrix or something on the last board and didn't fall down a shaft by hovering?
@AwakenedxB3AST Do you know how to double jump and fire knifes at the same time in this game? It seems to happen randomly for me unlike the second game ;_;
@destruidor818 Lucifer Norris, the ungodly result of an experiment to combine the two most powerful entities known to man. It took many tries, but finally they were succussful. You'll see a cameo of one of the failed versions at 8:00
Means he not only slowed down the game to a crawl (so he could beat it flawlessly), but he also had a massive amount of points saved in the game so if he did screw up he could go back and re-do it.
Great game... at the end it says "To be continued"? Was there another game after this?? Also how did you upload 25 mins of video, is this linked video or something???
Like I said, the last time I played this was in 1993. Are you playing this on the original sega megadrive? If so, then you should have three buttons (A,B,C). If I recall properly, A is for special attack, B is for attack and C is for jump. I think you use the sword when you have the gun and then you can use the sword when you are close to an enemy! I say again the last time I played this was in 1993 so I can't exactly remember the control? Hope this helps???
tas significa Tool Assisted Speedrun, traduzindo: corrida rápida com ferramentas de assistência. Com o Tool Assist voce joga numa velocidade muito, mais muito lenta e o emulador ajuda você a prever qualquer dano, além de usar os bugs do jogo para sua vantagem. Depois é só aumentar a velocidade do vídeo gravado na velocidade normal do jogo. Speedrun significa terminar o jogo no mínimo de minutos possíveis
i love it. its incredible how after all these years the gameplay its still intact, its actually more fun to play this game than many made nowdays

Cool playthrough man god I remember that last section with the electrified walls taking me weeks to get through when I was a kid, watching this makes me wanna break out Shinobi 3 and trying beating it right now. Cool vid man.
This game has aged so well. There are so many ways to play it, it still feels fast as hell.
I had a Genesis with a lot of games and believe me, whenever I got tired of Sonic 3 I almost always reverted back to my kick-ass Shinobi 3! :)
Holy crap, not only is this incredibly well-practiced, but this is also exactly how a ninja should be played like!
at 8:33 started best music of the whole game - loved this stage! Thanks for posting. Spent many hours playing this in the 1990's!
Now THIS is the work of a MASTER. You make look even more fun playing at this speed.
I had the honor and privilege of hearing a professional band play all of Shinobi 3's music live at Berklee College of Music. It was OFF THE HOOK AWESOME!
One of my favorite Ninja games ever... brings back memories!
i cant believe that i just watched 30 minutes of this. I couldnt take my eyes off of it. incredible stuff!
dude ur crazy man that was insane this was and still is one of my favs
that was entertaining
great job
this is seriously the best i've ever seen this game look. this guy makes it look awesome
Damn, dude. That's hardcore. Fantastic work. I could never hope to be HALF as good as that.
"The silent wind gently surrounds Musashi and comforts his wounded body..."
BULLSHIT! He didn't get a single injury from the entire game!
OMFG THE MEMORIES! THEY ARE RETURNING!!!Goooood I played this sooooo long ago I didn't even know the name of the game!
Watching this vid brought back some memories of when I was little.
Always loved the last Boss
I loved playing this game with my cousin when I was WAY younger. That level with the squishy brain stuff really freaked me out. It was awsome
Wow man brings back memories. My uncle had this game and i would play it every time i went over his house.
darn, I remember this game. I loved it. I just couldn't get pass the boss before the falling rocks level. Great video
u just made my day, i miss my childhood
My favorite game of all time.Hands down if someone ask me what I thought beat game ever was I'd say Shinobi III Return of the Ninja Master.I remember saving up my lunch $$$ to buy this brand new when it first came out at Kmart for $49.99 back in the day lol.And iv loved it ever since 1st time iv ever played it.Only reason I still own a Genesis;)

This was definitely my favorite game when I was a kid, Awesomeeee soundtrack XP!!
DAM this game was so RAW! This brings back so many hardcore memories i think my head's gonna explode!!!
One of the best games on the Mega Drive!
I recall playing this in 1993. cool game for it's time. thanks for showing
truly a masterpiece of epic proportions
this bring me back old memories , good times indeed
This game and soundtrack is amazing!!
I have this on the Sega Genesis Collection truly a legendary game. Love the stage with the surf board. Can't remember which one...
you are a true shinobi 3 master. This is just incredible to this this.
Good tips to clear spots I love watching this.
You are the ultimate shinobi 3 ninja master hero!!!
Respect.
Besser gehts nicht!
MUCH RESPECT TO THE PLAYER OF SHINOBI 3. WELL DONE ✅.
You make the bosses look so easy. Lol. Nice vid dude.
I've picked up this game for the first time when I was 5 years old. I never actually beat it until I was 7. Afterwards I played it for fun and beat it every time I sat down to play it. On one speed run I managed 40 minutes/Expert, but not without getting hit...
I am now 19 years old and I am happy to say that your video forced me to download this game again! ^_^ All I need to know is how to record...
Also...
23:45!??!?! WOW! and the drop after? Brilliant! Never knew it could be done that way!
Man love the music on the surfing level!!
Grew up on this game haha. This video is insane
this is one of the best single player games ever! so much fun, yet challenging too. it has a complete variety of levels.... not to mention the most epic soundtrack of all time.
Holy shit dude, I love this game, but now I feel so belittled by this guy's talent. He killed the bosses SO fast, I was especially surprised with Zeed, hahaha, mad props man, keep it up.
The BEST soundtrack on the Genesis!
A great demonstration on how the game should be played. Even if it is a speed run.
this game absolutey rocks, best shinobi of the 16-bit era....and the soundtrack is just amazing.
I remember this game from when I was a kid... Man it was awesome. I never got as far as that robo-Godzilla boss, though.
You played very nicely and cleanly,but in the 13:00 minute,it would have been much better if you had used the kunai barrage,in any case,I enjoyed your game,it reminded me of 29 years ago💝💝💝💝thank you💝💝💝💝
Muito bom mesmo, lembro que demorei umas cinco horas pra zerar shinobi a primeira que joguei. Mas depois que pega as manhas fica bem mais fácil. Parabéns fera, vc. mandou muito bem.
That player is a Real Ninja :D
Shinobi 3, one of the best games ever ;P
I also love the Whirlwind Song!
@HORSECHOKER305 if you look at 22:21 he used the "jitsu of karin" or something like that. He still has that power when he's running over the electricity but you can't see it because of the way the video has been recorded and uploaded.

Have a nice day =)
18:26 this is my all time favorite level!!!!!!
Great speedrun this video was created before i was born.
your playing is just INSANE!! you play like if you only played that game for 2years
He ran so fast that the shurikens thrown at him disappeared from awesomeness overload
the surfing level soundtrack!
@jacksonpark1
Reread what Tool Assisted means. It requires little skill and it's all about statistics and discovery, but it is a human doing the work.
Hold the jump button, then when you see his animation change, when he is at his highest, let go and hit the jump button again.
Expert player!!! Well done! The trully ninja Master!!! Very good!!
k. now he has to do it WITHOUT tooks and cheats
dude, if you wanna see pro-level, come visit my channel. Level 1-1 is available.
you will enjoy it ;)
Ahh ok, the game was played with an emulator.. I wanted to say you are a big master lol.. I played this game manyyy times and I looove, for me the hardest boss was the final boss I losed 2-3 lifes in easy mode xD But you... Perfectionist !!! You did not lose any life point in the all game you are a big master Congratulation !!
nice play skill, grats man, i used to play this game a lot back on the old days and i thought i was kinda good, seen this video makes me want to play it again.
Ppl keep saying i beat this i beat that but... it wasnt just fast but skilled run.
nice one, 5 stars
That gold ninja that came outta the kite is badass!!!
LOVE THIS VERSION OF THE GAME 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁.

This was the uncharted of 1996. Best game & best soundtrack for its time. I finished it on pure effort alone when I was so young and will remember it always....
Damn.. you really are a Ninja master. Beated the whole game without dying..
sir i must say you are the best player on SHINOBI 3!
1. If you are close enough to an enemy, you will automatically use your sword when you press the attack button.
2. You have to double-tap the direction you want to move in to run.
This is how a real ninja should be like. Takes on an army, incrediably quick, is pure awesome, obviously made of win, awesome and gold.
one of my fav games ever! i remember completing it and then nobody at school would believe me, cz it was such a hard game! this was like 1994 probably.
LMFAO "That shit was surgical" omfg that post FTW, but amazing skills n amazing run to an AMAZING series
Sir you are a god
I remember this for genesis. I also got this on the sega genesis 25 games pack. it was awesome.
I love this game and all the other games and sega genesis/megadrive is the truth next gen I mean like seriously who doesn't love the sega genesis/mega drive games? I surely do for only one reason cuz it haves games that's just so awesome that it kicks ass that's how awesome sega genesis/mega drive is and it is the truth gaming

one of my favorite improvements from the last game that they made was shinobis speed.
Actually, u r forgetting about the Ikazuchi he activated when he first entered the area Imposterian. The flashing is the shield, which takes up to four hits.
Nice. You have the game times like a robot.
i wish platinum games would do a shinobi game.
@1FineYoungCannibal the pal version exist too but is a bit rare,is called shinobi 3 obviously
Okay, Memooo, I see what you're saying. I also caught a few other indications, like when he wasn't hit or effected when he should've been. And there was some other parts where he used the matrix or something on the last board and didn't fall down a shaft by hovering?
i miss games like this and streets of rage.
@maulcs Ohh, sorry I did not notice that, But I was so impressed with the speed of the game play.
thanks
Climbing up the wall, really fast ninja movements
I wouldn't be able to do a speed run for this game I'd be too busy enjoying the awesome music
7:07 was so epic how you got that item.
Now thats how a real Shinobi maneuvers :D! Gratz
@AwakenedxB3AST Do you know how to double jump and fire knifes at the same time in this game? It seems to happen randomly for me unlike the second game ;_;
@destruidor818 Lucifer Norris, the ungodly result of an experiment to combine the two most powerful entities known to man. It took many tries, but finally they were succussful. You'll see a cameo of one of the failed versions at 8:00
Here is 2017. Thinking of doing my own speed run
Ohh man this brings back memories such an awesome game
8:26 was the most ninja moment!
At start it was fun how the two shurikens chased you !
Means he not only slowed down the game to a crawl (so he could beat it flawlessly), but he also had a massive amount of points saved in the game so if he did screw up he could go back and re-do it.
Great game... at the end it says "To be continued"? Was there another game after this?? Also how did you upload 25 mins of video, is this linked video or something???

Nice invincibility code you have on there. You didn't even need to use the Lightning Barrier.
