''Hagane'' is an SNES / Super Famicom game by [[Hudson Soft]] about a robotic ninja with a pair of ancestral statuettes for a power plant. He fights against a series of evil wizards and their many henchmen for... some... reason.

The gameplay is frequently compared to [[Shinobi]] due to the ammo-using weapons  {{spoiler|and because one of the stages involves trying out doors while enemies pop out of other doors}}, and to [[Strider (Video Game)|Strider]] for the acrobatics.
----
=== This game provides examples of: ===
* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]: Stage 1-2
* [[Auto Scrolling Level]] ([[Advancing Wall of Doom]]): Stage 1-4. If you are near the left-hand side of the screen, you don't see the pit you get to fall into. 
*  {{spoiler|[[Bittersweet Ending]]: The hero accomplished whatever it was he was supposed to, but as a consequence, loses power and starts rusting.}}
*  {{spoiler|[[Doomsday Device]]: Amano-Ikazuchi, a ''demonic ICBM''.}}
* [[Collision Damage]]: Regular [[Mooks]] don't inflict this, but some enemies do.
* [[Denial of Diagonal Attack]]: Only one weapon can be lobbed diagonally, and only one can be fired straight upwards. 
* [[Double Jump]]: The second jump actually propels you forward instead of upward. If you contact a wall, it becomes a [[Wall Jump]]. 
* [[Eternal Engine]]: Especially the whole of World 2.
* [[Iaijutsu Practitioner]]: The cyborg warrior combines this technique with lightning.
* [[Grappling Hook Pistol]]: The hero has one integrated in his body, just in case his ninja acrobatics are not enough.
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Used by both the hero and the cyborg warrior, as well as many of the [[Mook|Mooks]].
* [[Ki Attacks]]: The monks with wide-brimmed hats do this.
* [[Leitmotif]]: The theme of the cyborg warrior with the artificial arm.
* [[Magitek]]: A big part of the game's theme, used by all sides.
* [[Ninja]]: The hero is a ''robotic'' one.
* [[Recurring Boss]]: The cyborg warrior who has an artificial arm.
* [[Robo Cam]]: Shown in the intro as the hero surveys a ruined village.
* [[Spin Attack]]: One of the somersault specials. 
* [[Steampunk]]: Those few things in the game that are not somehow run by magic / spirit power.
* [[Uberwald]]: Stage 4-1
