Align swirls of the same color to create large combos and score big points. The swirls can
only be vertical or horizontal, not diagonal. The more swirls in a group, the larger the point
total. To gather swirls of large groups, you may remove single swirls, but beware—you’ll
lose penalty points for doing so!
You can play by yourself or with up to four friends (in Turn-based modes or real-time),
as well as over email (play against other SEGA Dreamcast, PC, and Computer-controlled
opponents). You can also submit your top scores to SEGA to be compared and posted
online with other high scores that have been submitted by PC and SEGA Dreamcast users
around the world.
Try your hand at the Level, Level Challenge, and Practice Modes—then take on some
friends in Versus Mode. In Versus Mode, two to four players can compete in a head-to-
head challenge on a single screen where each player is trying to gain the most points to
win the game. Each player can be a human or computer opponent and is designated a
color: Player 1 is Orange, Player 2 is Blue, Player 3 is Purple, and Player 4 is Green.
Swirls of your own color are worth twice as much for you. If Player 1 does a combo of 3
blue swirls, it is worth 20 points, but a combo of 3 orange swirls is worth 40 points to
player 1. Watch out for singles of your own color. Since Singles are worth -100 points,
Singles of your own color are twice as bad (-200 points!!). When all of the Swirls of your
color have been removed, you are knocked out of that game. When all of the players have
been knocked out, the game is finished, and the top scorer wins.

In the impenetrable mountain hideaways of Japan exist mystic warriors, the ninja. These
masters of battle possess seemingly impossible powers. In combat they leap to dazzling
heights. When hit, they remain unhurt. They can summon fire from the sky to torch the
enemy! You studied ninja ways since you were small. In the dojo you began as the weakest
one, and anyone could overcome you. But every day you practiced and meditated. At last
you mastered the skills of leaping, somersaulting, and throwing the deadly shuriken.
Finally a day came when the sensei revealed to you the secrets of Shinobi, the art of
stealth. And at last he taught you Ninjitsu—the ninja magic.
You are Joe Musashi, the master ninja. Your hands and feet are lethal. In your grasp, every
ninja weapon is an instrument of death. Now an evil, powerful enemy, the Neo Zeed, has
sent out its own ninjas, soldiers, spies, and villains to take over the world. As a warning to
you, they assassinated your sensei and kidnapped the beautiful Naoko.
You swear to annihilate the Neo Zeed. You stalk them around the world, destroying them
wherever they exist. You never sleep. You never stop. And you don’t give up! Until this
vicious enemy is destroyed, your world won’t be safe!
