The Cyber Shinobi is a Sega Master System game released in 1990 by Sega. It is a futuristic-themed sequel to Shinobi starring the grandson of Joe Musashi.
The game was not well received because of its slow gameplay and the large status area that covers nearly a third of the screen.

Story
Set in the future time of "2XXX," the player controls the grandson of the ninja master Joe Musashi, also named Joe, who is on a mission to defeat the minions of Cyber-Zeed, a terrorist organization founded by the remnants of the Zeed organization that the original Joe Musashi destroyed. Joe must fight his way through a series of six stages in order to prevent Cyber-Zeed from launching its stolen stockpiles of plutonium around the world and starting a nuclear war. The stages consist of a construction site, a harbor, a heliport, a jungle, a waterfall, and the enemy's hideout.
Gameplay
Cyber Shinobi is an action platforming game. The objective is to make it to the end of the stage and fight a boss. There are no hostages to rescue, unlike the previous Shinobi game. The player is occasionally prevented from proceeding onward at certain points of each stage until certain enemies are eliminated, similar to a side-scrolling beat-'em-up. Musashi walks with 
and 
and crouches with 
. He can walk while crouching with 
and 
. Musashi jumps with 
and jumps higher with 
+. Musashi's main weapon is a sword that he can use to attack his enemies with 
. He can use his sword while in mid-air. He does a crouching kick with +.
The player has a total of four gauges on the top screen. There is a life gauge that shows the amount of damage Musashi can sustain before losing a life, a power gauge that determines the strength of his basic attacks, a shot gauge that shows the remaining ammunition of his current sub-weapon, and a ninjutsu gauge that determines which spells the player can use. Each gauge can be incremented by items. Additionally, each stage is timed and must be completed before time runs out.
Musashi has access to several ranged weapons, which can be used with +. By capturing shot power-ups, he can upgrade his ranged weapons. When the player first picks up a shot power-up, Musashi wields a shuriken launcher, which can be replaced with an automatic vulcan gun and then a supply of grenades by picking up subsequent shot power-ups. Each sub-weapon can hold up to eight shots each. When the player's current sub-weapon runs out of ammo, it reverts to the previous one.
Ninjutsu spells are performed by pressing +. There are a total of four ninjutsu spells, which increase in damage dealt but otherwise differ only cosmetically. Although each one requires a different number of units to perform, only two units are consumed when one is performed.
