- Kage must fight through five stages in order to rescue the princess:
(1) Forest : Kage must avoid the attacks of the shinobi (enemy ninja) and Yobo monks. Defeat the red Yobo that appears after defeating three normal Yobos to complete the stage.
(2) Cave : Kage must kill a certain number of shinobi.
(3) Castle Wall : Move Kage in the direction of the arrows to climb the castle wall while dodging the attacks of shinobi.
(4) Mansion : Rescue the princess on the top floor by cutting the rope.
(5) Forest Stage 2 : Defeat Yuikasa Yoshiro (the evil warlord) and his right-hand man, Yukinosuke, who chase Kage and the princess.

- Kage is constantly under attack by enemies, so you must be alert at all times. Avoid the enemy swords and spikes by jumping up, ducking down or blocking them with your sword.

- Yobo attacks Kage with his iron club and flames. When being attacked with the flame, it is better to stay low and approach Yobo from underneath.
