Frozen Enemies

Enable the "Debug Mode" code and go to "File". Then, go to "Load Layout" and "Card" A message stating that an error occurred will appear. Ignore it and keep playing. All of your enemies will be frozen and will not attack or move. However, you will not be able to finish the level or fight the main enemies (the people that you fight at the end or start of each level).

Missing Legs

Enter the water, go into debug mode, and reset to the beginning of the level. Your legs will be missing. To get your legs back, go in the water again and go out as usual, or blow yourself up.

Poison Rice Bait

The Ninja Item "Poison Rice" is not only used to poison enemies. If you notice, a guard has to walk towards the rice first. This can be used to your advantage. throw a rice ball to an area where you have cover (Like on a Rooftop or behind a wall) and let the guard walk toward it. As soon you have his side or back clearly seen, go up at him for an undetected (stealth) kill. This will make it much easier to get a Grand master (or at least Master Ninja) status. Oh and another thing: they'll only go for the bait if the Ki meter is at "?", so be careful.

Alternate Costumes

Select either Rickimaru or Ayame, then successfully complete any level without being spotted or killing innocent people. If done correctly, a "Grandmaster" screen will appear after the level is completed. To use the alternate costumes, start the next level. When the item screen appears, look to the far right. If the object that appeared on the "Grandmaster" screen is available, select it to give Rikimaru or Ayame a new set of clothes.
