[TAS] GG The GG Shinobi "all upgrades" by Greenalink in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2019-02-24
The Game Gear Shinobi is the first of the two Shinobi games released for the Sega Game Gear. The level design structure starts off with a non-linear stage select, players must rescue all 4 ninja pals and use their combined strength to get through the City of Fear.
Greenalink ( tasvideos.org/... ) collects all life expansions in the game to upgrade the character, and as a result you get to see some interesting damage abuse strategies in the later levels that cut down a decent amount of time.

You see, speedrunning was invented when Game Gear players wanted to see the endings of their games within the system's 15-minute battery lifespan.

Yeah that feels accurate enough that I'm not gonna question it. I remember keeping a pack of batteries nearby as I played Ax Battler. Those were the days...

We’re you able to charge as you play?

@@sonicgenesis8154 The Game Gear took AA batteries. No ability to charge at all!

You have rescued Blue. You have to go, your people need you. Shinobi died on the way back to his planet
