Hello everyone, 3 years ago I was running Ninja Gaiden offline, the run was not recorded. The only part that i was able to record after pausing the game is the result of this glitch. (please see following youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsahUQ4f6Xo) I know that it won't help that much because the glitch itself was not recorded. But this is more a way to show you that it could skip the 2nd form (it was not recorded in this video but the screen literally fade out and the music is not the one of Jaquio's final form) also it might be a way to quick kill this final form since we can go behind Jaquio and directly hit him without cutting off his head. I remember that Ryu's sprite collided with Jaquio 2nd form fireball. I have not been able to reproduce it so far. Kind Regards,

The important questions to Barrylesjambes: 1. Console unmodified? (non hacked, original parts) 2. Real cart? (not sd card) 3. Original Controller? edit: Notes about Barrylesjambes video - The background music is the same as level 1-2-3-4 boss. It should be a unique track that only used in the final 6-5 boss - The tiles are from 6-4 but the boss is from 6-5 - After beating 6-4 twice, a cutscene should start and the final 6-5 level should start. According to Barrylesjambes, if this could be reproduce (getting hit by second (form) 6-4 boss and spawn the final boss instead of going through the cutscene and others) AND it won't crash (the video seems to tell this), it could be an improvement to both pacifist and any% TAS.

=> Console is an original one: Nintendo NES NTSC-U => Cart is also a real one (Ninja Gaiden NTSC-U) => Original NES controller

Thank you for posting your discovery and answering my questions. The remaining (edit: ) external factors of this bug happening is the condition of the cart, voltage dipping (console and controller too) and other extremly unlikely natural phenomenom. I will take a deeper look at it some time, no ETA.
