It's pretty straightforward, but knowing what's coming can help you focus on racking up those points.

Here's the breakdown of what you get as you climb the Power Levels:

  • Don't be afraid to use your Ninja Power. Using those special moves often scores more points and helps you clear rooms faster, which means more points overall.
  • Play through the stages multiple times. Replaying your favorite levels is a great way to grind out points, especially if you're aiming for a specific unlock.
  • Look for opportunities to perform taunts after clearing a room – they give you a small point bonus!
