Ninja Gaiden Cheats For NES

Sound Test

To access the sound test, when TECMO PRESENTS 1989 appears, hold A, B, Left, Down, Select, then press Start. If you did it correctly,  a menu for the sound test will pop up.

Extra Lives

In level 5-3 there is a 1-up on the 3rd floor of the tower. If you grab the extra life and jump down to the ladder on the right, you can go back down to floor 2 and come back up to reset the extra life. This can be done over and over again, the time will eventually run out and you will die but you respawn at the same ladder that brings you from floor 2 to floor 3. With each life you sacrifice (if you do it till time runs out), you should be able to get 3-4 extra lives in its place.
