Hint: Kill the cat: Play as Tatsumaru and go to the Labor Shortage level.
Cross the bridge and jump on the building next to the old woman
and the cat. Normally, it is almost impossible to kill the cat,
because it has 34,000 life. Equip yourself at inventory screen
with blow darts, poison rice balls, and flaming arrows. Go to
the area where the cat is found and get on the roof. Eliminate
the old woman first, so she will not be in your way and get you
caught. Get on the roof and throw some rice balls at the cat.
Let it eat at least three of them, then shoot at least two burning
arrows at it. After that, shoot three darts at it. It should now
be stunned. Push it in the water and it will float, dead.

twice the normal height of the usual jump and land on top of the
roof without hanging on the side.

Glitch: Swim in air: Edit a new map using a tileset which has water with
a depth of at least -2. Put water with a depth of -2 or deeper
at any boundary of the map and then test it. Wall-strafe along
the boundary into the water. You will enter swim mode without
falling into the water. Your character will be treading in air
when you are above the water, and swimming in air when you go
above land. This works anywhere that has deep water, a ground
adjacent to the water and at water level, and a wall that runs
alongside the water and ground.

standing.

Glitch: Keep Tatsumaru's sword out: There are two ways to do this trick. The first is to
take Tatsumaru to a ledge high enough to cause the falling animation.
Then, stand close to the ledge, turned so it is on Tatsumaru's
left. Then, hold Left and press Attack. If done
correctly, he should pull his sword out to slash left, then fall
off the ledge before he can sheath it again. The second way is
to do the "bump" stealth kill with Tatsumaru. If done
correctly, you will smash your opponent in the back of the neck.
On any level accept Labor Shortage, there is a glitch and Tatsumaru
will have his sword out. Note: To re-sheath Tatsumaru's sword,
just do a sword move or another stealth kill of any kind.

Glitch: Floating arrows: Hide behind a box after a enemy that shoots arrows
sees you. Duck before he fires and it should hit the box. Immediately
break the box. If done correctly, the arrow will float in mid-air.
Information in this section was contributed by DBZkrillen44.
Glitch: Kill shark: Play as Rikimaru at the Secret Harbor (recommended)
or Sea Battle level. Equip yourself with fire arrows and blow
darts. Go to the southern-most part of the area to find a large
lake. Swim around to attract a shark swimming in it . Draw it
closer to the shore. If done correctly, it will be unable to swim
back into the deep water. During that time, shoot it a couple
times with a dart. Do not worry of it does not show its life.
Shoot it once or twice with a flaming arrow. Unlike the cat, instead
of the shark freezing up when it dies, the game will freeze.
