You can divekick with the horse and surfboard.
I mostly just do that to keep those levels interesting.

Shinobi 3

I'll skip NG4 for now as I've yet to play any of the 3D NG games yet, but I'm definitely picking up those two.
I'm particularly pumped for Shinobi.
I hope Sega really holds on to their relationship with Lizardcube. Don't want another Mania Team situation on our hands. These guys can keep pumping out great games for years, I believe.

I like them all.

Revenge is more surgical, while 3 is more fast paced and leaves more freedom on how to tackle each encounter. Shadow Dancer and X are in between.
Master System Shinobi filtered me hard at the end.

3 is one of those games which just leaves an excellent impression in the first few minutes, which is why it's so highly regarded, even shitty players can feel awesome when playing the first couple levels. It's like Castlevania Rondo of Blood.
