Naruto: Saikyou Ninja Daikesshuu 3 - Strategy Guide (Page 03)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Naruto: Saikyou Ninja Daikesshuu 3 - Strategy Guide (Page 03).

Boss: Orochimaru						*7.boss*
 Stage one: Orochimaru is invincible. The only way to kill him is to sing any
one of the Naruto anime theme songs into the microphone, without missing a
beat. In case you can't tell, I'm kidding. Orochimaru is invincible, and you
can't kill him; the only way to win is to let him kill you. (Yeah I know, it's
pretty counter-intuitive. Ever play the last fight in "Escape from Monkey
Island"? That one is worse).

 Stage two: Chakra Swirling. Never could get the hang of it, huh? The Gods of
video gaming just pulled a fast one on you with the God of irony. Now you just
need to fill up your chakra bar. See the "Chakra Wheel" part of the "Specials"
section for tips if you are having trouble.

 Stage three: All Kyubied up and rarin' to go, now your best strategy is to run
like a squirrel with a chicken heart. When the battle starts, use Rasengan (it
may take quite a few of these to take him down if you aren't skilled with the
Chakra wheel, but only about four if you are). Now run to the corner when
Orochimaru isn't. When Orochimaru tries to fix the fact that you have that
corner to yourself, float over him to the other corner. Repeat until you have
enough chakra for another Rasengan, and do it all over again.
 Orochimaru has two specials; one involves him shooting his head into the air
and coming down to snag you, easily avoided when you are running as fast as you
can. The other one has him doing a reverse sword-swallower act and spitting up
a sword, which spins around in a circle for a few seconds, then launching
itself at you in a straight line. Easily avoided with a float.
 He also has an ability to heal himself, but there isn't anything you can do
about it, so just do more damage then he can heal. He only heals about 50% to
75% of a full-powered rasengan, so it shouldn't be a problem.

 An alternate strategy for beating stage three Orochimaru, contributed by 
Kidddabeauty:
  You start off with a super, just like usual, trying to do Rasengan and
 all that. After the super you run off to a corner and wait for
 Orochimaru to come. When he gets pretty close to you, start running in
 his direction and hit Y. He won't have time to stop and block and
 he'll be knocked out for a little while (giving you more time to mold
 chakra, inflicting a little damage and also giving him less time to
 decide to heal himself). Before he wakes up, run to the opposite
 corner. As soon as your chakra hits maximum, perform your super again.

Another strategy, similar to the one above, involves using an uppercut hit 
instead of a running hit. However, while the uppercut hit buys you more time, 
it is significantly harder to hit on wakeup. Both of these strategies require 
getting close to Orochimaru, meaning that its easier to deplete your health bar 
quickly, and are not particularly recommended if you aren't quick to react. 
They are also much faster, as they give Orochimaru much less time to heal 
himself.

The third option on the main screen is a kind of paint game. It starts out with
just one background, Mt. Hokage, and you can unlock more. You cannot,
unfortunately, unlock a blank screen to draw on. You can't save any of your
work, either, so don't get too attached to it.

To unlock extra Backgrounds, beat the game on a single file as many times as is
required.

Beat the game once to unlock:
Naruto
Sasuke
Sakura
Shikamaru
Chouji
Lee
Neji
Kiba
Shino

Beat the game twice to unlock:
Gaara
Kankurou
Gai
Kakashi
Jiraiya
Sandaime

Beat the game a third time to unlock:
Hinata
Ino
Tenten
Temari

Beating the game a fourth time doesn't unlock anything else.
