- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* Self defense - Shurikens and other projectiles can be deflected by your sword after you have collected the power-up scroll allowing you to swing your sword in an arc. When walk along, you can shield yourself with this by holding the stick up, and swinging your sword.
* Defeat the first boss with ease - Assuming you have collected the sword powerup and have both shadow duplicates, position yourself in the center of the screen while the boss is rising from the ground and do a super jump (hold up and jump). When you land on the ground, you should have your shadows flatting in mid air above you. Select the sword and hold up and continuously slash - you will damage the demon and his flames will get blocked by your barrage of attacks.
