How to unlock the Hard Little Ninja achievement in MINI NINJAS - Definitive Guide

The achievement is indeed simplistic, however it can be easily fouled up. When starting a new game, the game will prompt you create a new profile and then launch right into the opening cinematic, it will NOT ask you to select a difficulty and of course Normal (Medium) is the default.

To counter this and ensure that you get credit for Hard mode, which has so far proven to be remarkably easy, several levels in, do the following.

- Launch the game
- Go into Settings -> Difficulty (available prior to starting a new game)
- Change the difficulty to Hard
- Go into New Game -> Create a profile
- Play through, without changing the difficulty

This will ensure you get credit for hard difficulty and don't get several levels in on medium.

If you play this game on hard first the little ninja achievement will also unlock upon completion.

If you did go through the game on easy or medium, just switch the difficulty to hard and run through each of the levels. Most of the enemies can just be ran by so the levels don't take long to finish.

If you manage to read this before you start the game then do the game on 'hard' difficulty.

The achievements for completing the game on 'easy or medium' and then again on 'hard' are stackable.

This means that if you finish the game on 'hard' (without having previously competed the game on easy or medium) both achievements will unlock.

I beat the game on Med and did not get all the animals so the second time around I went to beat it on hard, I had to play each level individually. I played each level and made sure I got all the animals and I'm still missing those two achievements (Animal Friend and Hard Little Ninja)... does anyone know what I need to do?

After completing the game on medium, if I replay each level on hard, will this achievement unlock at the end? I can't see a 'new game' option

I would recommend using your same profile, but an alternative storage device and starting a new game that way. I was cautioned against trying to do each level individually when I initially did this chiev if I remember correctly.

Alternatively, snag the other achievements that you need and then delete you save and start again on hard, if you can't find the new game option.

Its really not much harder, health seemed to be the biggest hurdle if I remember correctly, specifically regarding the bosses and how hard they hit, but it has been a while since I wrote this.

I'm currently getting this achievement. I don't want to delete my save file and I only have one storage device, so I'm just playing through each level as it is, and marking it off which ones I've completed on hard. Plus I don't want to have to go through and get the spells I need (especially seeing as I need them for the last boss).
What makes the hard difficulty so hard? I've played through a few levels and I can't see why it's any different from Normal difficulty.

Hard Little Ninja

I have confirmed as of September 27, 2010 that this achievement can be obtained after beating the game on Easy or Medium Difficulty WITHOUT deleting profile.

1. Set the difficulty in the main menu to Hard.
2. Replay through all the levels.

Note 1: The game only keeps a background record of which levels you have played on Hard, so you should keep track yourself to avoid playing through a level again.
Note 2: Since you have already completed the levels, you can pretty much avoid most enemies and literally sprint through entire levels.
Note 3: To make this even more painless, use healing potions and heal as needed. WIth a fair amount of healing potions you can take as much damage from enemies and just heal and continue running. (After my first playthrough I had about 40 potions and I finished the game with 20+ left)

This game is not really that hard, even in Hard Mode.

Worked a charm, much easier and quicker than doing a full new playthrough on hard

Before even starting the game you need to go to the options menu and change the difficult to Hard.

Hard is manageable if you use all of the Ninjas and their special attacks and Kuji Magic with Hiro. There are some tough sections with lots of enemies closing in on you, I suggest using Shun and his bow to pick enemies off.

Once you have finished the final boss this trophy will unlock, as well as Little Ninja (completing the game on Easy/Normal).

Be sure to change the difficulty to hard before you start the game in the options menu. Don't worry hard is not hard at all.

You don't have to do multiple playthroughs since the difficulty achievements are stackable. Simply start your first playthrough on Hard Difficulty, which isn't hard at all. Once you finish level 22 "Evil Samurai Warlord", you'll be rewarded with three achievements being Restore Balance, Little Ninja and Hard Little Ninja.

ATTENTION!!!!!!!!! To get this achievement, before starting the game you need to go to the options and change the difficulty to Hard, only after that start the game, when you kill the final boss you will receive an achievement, if you play right away on Hard for the first time, then along with this achievement you will receive an achievement for more low difficulties. If you started the game without changing the difficulty to hard, then delete the safe from your storage and start again, just change the difficulty before starting.
