Line 18:
A new ''Shinobi'' game was developed by Griptonite Studios for the 3DS, and released in September 2011.

*** Lightning: The Art of ''[[Deflector Shields|Ikazuchi]]''.
*** Water: The Art of ''[[In a Single Bound|Fushin]]''; also grants faster speed and shuriken recharge.

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: In the [[PS 2]] ''Shinobi'' the {{spoiler|four}} [[Demon Lords and Archdevils|Hellspawn Lords]] are actually twisted and dark counterparts of the Si-Ling creatures: eg Shirogumo stands for the White Tiger of west, and is a white [[Giant Spider]] with Tiger's head and [[Dishing Out Dirt|earth powers]].
** The Shadow Master is this to Joe, especially since he was cloned from the Musashi bloodline.
Line 98:
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Killing the final boss in ''Revenge of Shinobi'' can get like this, given he appears completely invulnerable and even the boss-killing Mijin magic deals no damage to him. As it turns out, you can only attack his body, which usually protected by his deadly Kabuki hair- until he overextends it in his initial strike which leaves an opening that Joe can throw a shuriken at... or even detonate a ''Mijin'' into [[For Massive Damage]].
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Kazuma in ''Shinobi X'' pulls this, as he considers Sho a [[Worthy Opponent]].
* [[Highly
** Lest we forget...Joe Musashi...a master ninja, fearsome shadow, all around badass...clad in WHITE.
** Hibana doesn't do anything to be very stealthy either for the most part...as she too wears mostly white and has a scarf that trails ghostly ''pink''.
Line 105:
* [[In Name Only]]: The [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''The Revenge of the Shinobi'' is a completely different game from the original Genesis game.
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Hotsuma's sword can cut a tank in half.
* [[Lawyer
** [[Spider-Man]] was more of a [[Special Guest]], as Sega originally obtained the rights to use him in another set of games. In fact, he was the only one of the aforementioned cameos who remained the same until the [[Wii]] re-release, since Sega no longer had the Spidey license by that time. Especially noted is that he does not die in the [[Boss Fight]], rather he climbs out of the picture after taking enough hits before the [[Batman]]/[[Devilman]] rip off moves in to take on Joe.
** In ''Shinobi III'', Mecha Godzilla is the fifth boss, making him the ''second'' Godzilla-related boss in the series.
** In the prototype of ''Alex Kidd in Shinobi World'', titled ''[[Working Title|Kid Shinobi]]'', one of the bosses was named Mari-oh, who looked like [[Super Mario|the mascot]] of a [[Nintendo|certain rival company]] dressed like a samurai. Said company wasn't amused by the joke Sega made at their expense, so Mari-oh was renamed Kabuto and his face was concealed.
* [[Legacy Character]]: {{spoiler|In the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] ''Shinobi'' it seems Shadow Master has become a title for the head of Zeed, as the one fought in this game is apparently the very first and is quite different from the Cyberninja in ''Shinobi III''.}}
* [[Market
** ''The Revenge of Shinobi'' is known as ''The Super Shinobi'' in Japan.
** ''Shinobi III'' is named ''The Super Shinobi II'' (establishing its status as a sequel to ''Revenge'').
Line 119:
* [[Minecart Madness]]: Happens in ''Shinobi Legions''.
* [[The Mole]]: {{spoiler|1=Ageha in the PS2 ''Shinobi''.}}
* [[
* [[Ninja]]: ''Obviously''.
** Ninja dogs with swords in their mouths!
* [[Not the Fall That Kills You]]: {{spoiler|The ending of Shinobi on 3DS has Jiro fall from space ALL THE WAY DOWN TO EARTH during the entirety of the credits. On fire. And then he walks away unscathed upon landing. Doubles with [[I Fell for Hours]].}}
* [[Obvious Beta]]: Sega once [http://segaretro.org/Sega_PC_Smash_Pack released] a pack of poorly emulated Genesis games for PC. ''The Revenge of Shinobi'' was one of them [[They Just Didn't Care|and it was a beta build]].
* [[One
* [[Powered Armor]]: The Shadow Master in ''Shinobi III''.
* [[Pyromaniac]]: Homura in [[PS 2]] game is very fond of roasting people.
* [[Razor Wind]]: Kamaitachi no Jutsu.
* [[Recycled Title]]
** The name ''Shinobi'' alone could apply to the original 1987 arcade game and its console variants, the 2002 PlayStation 2 game starring Hotsuma and the 2011 3DS game by Griptonite (aka ''[[Market
** ''The Revenge of Shinobi'' could apply to the 1989 Sega Genesis game (aka ''The Super Shinobi'') or the 2002 Game Boy Advance game by 3D6 games.
* [[Recycled in Space]]: The arcade version of ''[[Video Game/E Swat|E Swat]]'' is pretty much ''Shadow Dancer'' with a ''[[
* [[Red Herring]]: {{spoiler|Yatsurao.}}
* [[Reformulated Game]]: The Genesis port of ''Shadow Dancer'' has the same gameplay as the arcade game, but with completely new stages.

* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: Sho in ''Legions'' does this to save Aya from getting backstabbed.

* [[To Be Continued]]: We are told this after the credits in ''Shinobi III'', but Joe's story isn't continued at all in the other games.
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: [[Big Bad|Kazuma]] tries this in the final stage of Shinobi Legions. This example differs from most [[Video Game]] examples of this trope, as Sho automatically says no.
