Ninja Gaiden
Cheat: Keep the Original Blue Ninja Costume
Hilight "New Game" and hold down the L + R triggers and press the A. You will hear a scream to confirm entry. You will now keep the original blue costume that Hayabusa starts with beyond the second chapter.Cheat: Skip Cut-Scenes
You can skip most of the cut-scenes in Ninja Gaiden by pressing START, A, START.Cheat: Skip escaping the mountain
In the last chapter, if you've already been through escaping once, and been defeated by Dark Murai, go pick up the Dark Dragon Blade, and at the beginning of the FMV, press START, A, START to skip it. Instead of having to escape the caves again, you'll go straight to the fight with Dark Murai.Easter Egg: Kill Rachel
This is a neat little thing I found. It turns out that you can kill Rachel when she's hanging above the pyramid before Alma V2, or in the volcano cave before Evil Murai. Just shoot her with an arrow and you'll get a game over.Hint: In Game Reset
While in game, press and hold START and BACK, and you will be taken back to the main menu. NOTE: All your unsaved progress will be lost.Hint: Money Making Game
I did this at the Clocktower in Tairon, but I'm sure it should work at any store. Simply go up the set of stairs marked by the blue border, and take care of the three enemies in the stairway. Now, go back down the stairs and return back up to kill the same three guys again. Collect the loot or health and repeat as desired! I found that if you use the Nunchaku, you can score around 30 or 40 hit combos, giving you up to 1,000 cash points at a time!Submitted by Mr.JPinto
An easy way to get essence in chapter 15 is to go into the palace compound (first entered after defeating spirit Doku)equiped with your Vigoorian Flails and the Firewheels ninpo. Run to the gate that leads you to the Empirial Stairway. Those really annoying ghost fish will appear. cast your Firewheels ninpo to kill the first few.
While your Firewheels are burning around you, hold Y to charge your Flails. Release the essence charged attack on the nearest fishes. Once all of the fish are dead, simply run back up the path the way you came and then return to the fish area. Keep casting your Firewheels so the fish wont kill you. If you are out of ninpo, one of the fish is bound to drop a red essence when killed. You can get 99,999 essence in about ten to fifteen minutes depending on your efficency.

I found that the best way is to keep returning to the last part of the Labyrinth where the ghost fish are and use the Vigorian Flail at level 2 and keep using the "Cremater" over and over and gather the essence until they're gone, walk to the Dragon post, save then repeat.
