NG1 4-3

Overview: Act 4, Stage 3
Timer Target: 116



This is where the game takes a turn for the difficult. 4-3 is a very long stage with several tricks and difficult sections. You must reach the end of the stage with Spinslash and 5 Ninpo.

Ladder Clip
On the very first room, you can grab the ladder from the opposite side. Like the trick described in Stage 2-2, this one is actually much easier to pull off. Note the image to the right for the proper jump timing.

Hammer Brother Spinslash
In the second room, you dispatch the Mike Tysons, climb the tall platform, Spinslash the Knife Thrower, then drop down. You must then climb up to the next high section, which can be quite difficult. Jump to the middle platform, and then Spinslash up to the top platform, killing the Clubber. Immediately Spinslash again to kill the Hammer Brother and pick up the Ninpo.

Bullet Boost
Half way through the third room, you must wall climb up to the top platform with the Turrets and Bruce Lee. This itself can be quite difficult; not only to climb the wall quickly, but upon reaching the top, you may get damage boosted onto the top platform. Be prepared to be flexible here, just make sure that both turrets get destroyed before proceeding.

After the turrets, you must cross some floating platforms with a Machine Gun Guy. The idea is to pass the Machine Gun Guy without killing him and without stopping, and then jump at the very end. The guy's bullets should boost you to the top of the ladder, saving considerable time. Note that you must never let go of right after the Machine Gun Guy spawns, or else the bullets will be out of position and you may not get boosted correctly.
