Missing levels will be added when I have free time - I'm a busy man. If you have a particular level you can't get an A-Grade on, email me at ninjatowntourguide AT gmail DOT com letting me know which level you need a guide for and I will do my best to prioritise it.

As with all my guides, you should always be prepared to blow some demons back if they slip through your defences. The game doesn't produce the same results every time you play, so if one of my guides doesn't work perfectly the first time, play it again and I am sure it will. Each of my strategies has been put to the test usually 3 or 4 times to verify they work.

4.4 - Dark Tree Path

2008-12-13T13:49:00.000-08:00

Even with a guide, this is a difficult one. Just warning you this may take a few attempts. The last few rounds are particularly punishing. It will help if you have at least one Baby Ninja and at least one Ninja Dropping.

Wave 01
You begin with a Wee Ninja hut on square 1 and a Forest Ninja hut on square 2. You should sell the other Forest Ninja near the end of the path. Build Anti-Ninjas on squares 3 and 4, and a Wee Ninja on square 5. Fast-forward to start the wave. At the end of the wave upgrade your Anti-Ninjas on squares 3 and 4.

Wave 02
Build an Anti-Ninja on square 6. At the end of the wave upgrade your Anti-Ninja on square 6.

Wave 03
At the end of the wave upgrade your Anti-Ninja on square 4.

Wave 04
At the end of the wave upgrade your Anti-Ninja on square 3.

Wave 05
At the end of the wave upgrade your Anti-Ninja on square 4.

Wave 06
At the end of the wave upgrade your Anti-Ninja on square 3.

Wave 07
Build a sniper on square 7. At the end of the wave upgrade your ninjas on squares 2 and 7.

Wave 08
Through the round you should upgrade your ninjas on square 2 twice, and upgrade the ninjas on square 7 twice.

Wave 09
Upgrade your Anti-Ninja on square 3 when it is safe to do so.

Wave 10
At the end of the wave upgrade your Anti-Ninja on square 4.

Wave 11
At the end of the wave upgrade your ninja on square 6 twice.

Wave 12
At the end of the wave upgrade your ninja on square 6.

Wave 13
Upgrade your ninja on square 2, and at the end of the wave upgrade your ninja on square 7.

Wave 14
Build a sniper on square 8, and at the end of the wave upgrade your sniper on square 8 three times.

Wave 15
At the end of the wave upgrade your sniper on square 8.

Wave 16
At the end of the wave sell your Wee Ninjas on squares 1 and 5.

PAUSE THE GAME, RIGHT NOW! Read the rest of this guide to prepare yourself - there is A LOT to do in these last few rounds, and time is short.

Wave 17
While your Forest Ninjas and Sniper Ninjas deal with the flying demons, build Anti-Ninjas on squares 1 and 5. Upgrade your ninjas on square 1 four times, and upgrade your ninjas on square 5 three times. At the end of the wave sell your Forest Ninjas and your Sniper Ninjas from squares 2, 7, and 8. Upgrade your ninja on square 5 as soon as funds allow.

Waves 18 & 19
At the start of wave 18 build an Anti-Ninja on square 2. Through the rest of the wave and through wave 19 upgrade your Anti-Ninja on square 2 to its maximum, and build and upgrade three Anti-Ninja huts in any of the remaining squares at the top of the map. Two of those three huts should end up five-stars, the other will end up 4-stars. Placing a Baby Ninja near the start of the track when wave 19 begins should give you enough time to build and upgrade these huts if you are quick.

Wave 20
Place a Ninja Dropping near the start of the map as soon as the wave starts. Use your Wake Up Call special power to give your Anti-Ninjas a much-needed speed boost. If the Boss Tree starts breeding demons, use your wind to blow the demons as far back up the track as you can so your Anti-Ninjas aren't distracted by them and can concentrate on killing the boss. If you need to, and you have one spare, place another Ninja Dropping to help weaken the Boss.

4.3 - Mr. Demon Way

2008-12-13T11:49:00.000-08:00

Wave 13
Keep upgrading the Anti-Ninja on square 7.

Wave 14
At the end of the wave build an Anti-Ninja on square 3 and upgrade it as much as you can until the next wave begins.

You should be good to relax on this wave. Keep an eye on things though, incase you need Ol' Master Ninja's wind to bail you out of trouble.

1.2 - Nap Alley

2008-11-22T08:39:00.001-08:00

As a word of warning, occasionally a demon may slip past your defences. This happens randomly and is the nature of the game unfortunately. If your Anti-Ninjas end up in a chase, you may need to give them a tap with your stylus so they can catch the demon.

3.3 - NTSE Plaza

2008-11-15T08:29:00.000-08:00

In my opinion, this is one of the hardest levels in the game to get a grade 'A'. My guide below is the most efficient way of getting top marks I have found after two days of testing my defences.

You will use only Business Ninjas, Sniper Ninjas and Anti-Ninjas. I recommend fast-forwarding at the end of a wave to keep your time down, especially for the first 8 more-simple waves.

Wave 01
As soon as the game starts, build Business Ninja huts on squares 1 and 2 and click the fast forward button. While the demons are heading towards the goal, build Business Ninja huts on squares 3 and 4.

Wave 02
Build a Business Ninja hut on square 5 as soon as funds are available.

Wave 03
Watch your Ninjas kick some ass.

Wave 04
Build a Business Ninja hut on square 6 as soon as funds are available.

Wave 05
Build a Sniper Ninja hut on square 7 as soon as funds are available. Occasionally (when I was testing this strategy it happened perhaps 1 in 5 times) a demon may break through your defences. Use your wind special power if this happens. When the demons have been defeated, build a snipier hut on square 8.

Wave 06
As soon as funds are available, build a sniper hut on square 9. Be ready with your wind special power as a flying demon may sneak through before your sniper on square 9 has been built. When the demons have ben killed, build a sniper hut on square 10.

Wave 07
Build an Anti-Ninja hut on square 11 as soon as you can afford it.

Wave 08
Have a breather, your Ninjas will sort things out. alternatively, start upgrading (see Wave 09).

Wave 09
Upgrade the snipers on squares 7, 8, 9 and 10. At the end of the wave, upgrade the snipers on square 7, 8 and 9 again.

Wave 10
When funds allow, upgrade the sniper on square 10 and upgrade your Anti-Ninja hut on square 11.

Wave 11
It is quite likely you will need to use your wind on this wave, so don't do any building until the end. Upgrade your Anti-Ninja hut on square 11 twice. After both upgrades it should be four-stars.

Wave 12
This is the final wave of flying demons, so you are safe to sell the sniper hut on square 10 at the start of the wave. When the demons have been killed, sell your remaining sniper huts and upgrade your Anti-Ninja hut on square 11. Build Anti-Ninja huts on square 8 and 9.

Wave 13
Upgrade your Anti-Ninja huts on squares 8 and 9. This wave of demons takes a while to kill, so use your magnifying glass if you have enough power, or use wind to keep them close to the Anti-Ninjas. When the demons are killed, upgrade your Anti-Ninja huts on squares 8 and 9 as many times as possible before the next wave starts. One upgrade each should be enough, but it you used your magnifying glass to kill the demons quickly you should be able to manage two upgrades, giving them a total of four-stars each.

Wave 14
Be ready with your wind, just incase. Fully upgrade your Anti-Ninja huts at the end of the wave.

Wave 15
As a precaution, be ready with your magnifying glass or wind, but this wave should be a breeze (ho ho ho - get it?).

NTSE Plaza - complete. Using the guide above you should achieve a grade A, and complete the level in well under 10 minutes. Following the method above I usually only have to use wind once or twice, and the magnifying glass isn't necessary but helps to speed up waves 13 and 15.
