Notes

RetroAchievements: A set of RetroAchievements for the game has been created by team member LaytonLoztew. For a list of compatible emulators, please visit RetroAchievements.org.

Unlock All Characters: Some characters in the game require Wireless Communications (local play using two DS consoles) to unlock. One workaround is to use the "Unlock all characters" cheat code provided in the translated cheat files. Due to the potential for bugs, we do not recommend using it before clearing the game.

For those who want to unlock all characters manually/without cheats, a second workaround has been created:

• Obtain Kakashi & Jiraiya: Talk to Anko at the Main Arena. She will give you Kakashi and Jiraiya's Ninja Tags, which can be used from the inventory once the game has been cleared.
• Obtain Ino & Hinata: To obtain these characters, you need to acquire the Ninja Flower: Valeriana from a chest in the Land of Fire Border. Then, give the flower to either Ino OR Hinata at the Leaf Village in exchange for their Ninja Tag. Use the Tag to recruit the character, then talk to Konohamaru on the rooftop of the Ninja Academy. He will provide you with another flower which can be used to recruit the second character. (If you have not yet obtained the flower/used the first Ninja Tag, you will not receive anything.)
• Obtain Shino & Tenten: To obtain these characters, you need to acquire the Secret Ninjutsu Catalog from a chest in Orochimaru's Hideout. Then, follow the steps above, substituting the Flower for the Catalog, and Ino/Hinata for Shino/Tenten.

A ROM hack allowing this workaround to be used without changing the language of the game is also available here.

Changes to the game

Name Changes: Due to space limitations, some jutsu/item names had to be cut down so do not match their Path of the Ninja counterparts.

Ninja Academy Messages: In the original game, messages from Japanese fans could be found spread throughout the Ninja Academy. Rather than translate these directly, we used the opportunity to ask members of our Discord server to submit their own messages, which can be read by interacting with the blue scrolls hanging on the walls in various rooms.
