Defeating Malakai
In the first part (where there is lava for a field),
keep a steady pace while jumping around on the stones. Hold [Forward]
and the direction that you want to jump and collect the shuriken.
Throw it at him without locking on. After throwing the full amount
of eight shuriken three or four times, he will fall down into
the lava. Then, he will jump up and absorb the lava. You will
now have to sword fight him. The Soul Sword and Revive Rage are
recommended for this. If you run at him and slash repeatedly,
you are going to get hammered. The best times to attack him are
when he just finishes a quick slash and when he is just about
to do the non-shock wave ground pound. ,Hit him at those times
and use Berserks and Insane Rages every time you do not need to
revive.
Defeating O-Dor
Attack his belt. After you attack it twice, he will
slam his fist. You can now attack it two more times before he
slams you away.
Defeating Psyamon
To damage Psyamon, you will have to use your Power
Bolt attack. Just shooting him with your miniguns will not effect
him. Psyamon will shoot a red ball of energy at you. If it hits
you, it will do a significant amount of damage. To avoid it, shoot
at it with your miniguns to blow it up. He will then open his
mouth and release Wraith Ranx (ghost-type Ranxs) at you. Shoot
at them as fast as you can, as he will release a lot of them.
When you kill one of them, your Power Bolt gauge (the gauge at
the bottom right corner of the screen) will rise. When the gauge
is full, you will be able to shoot your Power Bolts at Psyamon.
As the battle continues, Psyamon will get much tougher. For example,
after you damage him once, he will also shoot a blue ball of energy
at you. If it hits you, your robot suit will malfunction, causing
your movement to fail. To avoid it, shoot at it. He will also
release more Wraith Ranx at you. Repeat the process five times
to kill Psyamon.
Get stronger swords
To get stronger swords, you have to kill enemies. Notice
that when you complete a mission (at the blue screen with Ninja
floating), there is a sword at the bottom of the screen called
"Ranx Bank". The sword has numbers that increase with
the more "Ranx" that you kill. Also, the more "Ranx"
you kill, the sword gets covered in Ranx blood. When the sword
is full of Ranx blood, at the "Mission Complete" screen,
Ninja will be holding his old sword. He will drop the old sword
and a new one will fall into his hands.

Mow grass
Where there are grass, flowers, mushrooms, other foliage,
objects other than crates and barrels, and certain decorative
objects, you can cut them down to earn a few extra points towards
your main score. This is useful in the certain levels that require
a high score to earn the grade.
xPower-Ups
Whenever you kill an enemy in a rapid succession, the
number to the right of the health bar increases by one up to 10.
This represents what points you receive for killing an enemy,
multiplied by the number displayed. This is useful in certain
missions where a high score is required to earn the grade.
Healing
If you are low on health, try to find some weeds and
chop them down. Notice that your Rage Ability switch will gradually
increase. Keep chopping down weeds and you will soon be able to
use your "Ninja Revive" to heal yourself.
If you are low on health, use the Ninja Fury. You will recover
some health.
