From the start of this level, walk to northwest ignoring the Ki meter. Do not worry if the enemy detects you, just keep running until reaching Garan's house. After that, kill Garan and you will have some great Ninja Items with Apprentice Rank.

Labor Shortage: Easy Grand Master secret items
To easily get the secret items awarded by the Grand Master rank, just play the Labor Shortage level with Tatsumaru repeatedly.

The Final Dawn: Easier level
Turn 180 degrees and walk to the white mast. Over the loop in it is the Mine item. The upper-left of the level has a Health Bottle. You can walk on the rim of the ship (do not fall). You can, however, walk on the steel plates of the ship. There are eighteen enemies. There is no one on the huge tower in the center.

Create a rooftop level
Use the town tileset to make a rooftop level in the mission editor. Use pitfalls and flat ground rooftops and put buildings close together to make it more realistic. Power jump to get from building to building.

Shark in last level
During the last level, go to the ship where you fight the first Boss. Go around his ship to the right side (coming from the south side) and swim in the water north/northeast to find a very big ship that towers above anything your grappling hook can even touch. Swim around on this side of the ship for awhile. Somewhere nearby a shark should appear in the water. The shark can hurt you, and will put the enemies on alert as if he was a normal enemy.

Kill the cat
Play as Tatsumaru and go to the Labor Shortage level. Cross the bridge and jump on the building next to the old woman and the cat. Normally, it is almost impossible to kill the cat, because it has 34,000 life. Equip yourself at inventory screen with blow darts, poison rice balls, and flaming arrows. Go to the area where the cat is found and get on the roof. Eliminate the old woman first, so she will not be in your way and get you caught. Get on the roof and throw some rice balls at the cat. Let it eat at least three of them, then shoot at least two burning arrows at it. After that, shoot three darts at it. It should now be stunned. Push it in the water and it will float, dead.

Glitch: High jump
If you are in certain levels (Quarantine Village, Laborers), you do not need a grappling hook to get on to the roof of a house. Run up to the wall, face it, and jump. Your character will jump twice the normal height of the usual jump and land on top of the roof without hanging on the side.

Glitch: Stuck in hole
Note: This can only be performed in the Mission Editor. Try to fall down a pitfall, then press [Start] and go to "Exit". You will see your character completely fall down until he or she hits their head. He or she will stand up and cannot get out. If you press [Square] and press [Start] and go to "Exit", he or she will reach the ground, still standing.

Glitch: Floating arrows
Hide behind a box after a enemy that shoots arrows sees you. Duck before he fires and it should hit the box. Immediately break the box. If done correctly, the arrow will float in mid-air.
