The third and final part of the NES Ninja Gaiden trilogy was released in August 1991. Unlike the the first two games, the third game received mixed reviews due to cheap hits and a nonsensical plot involving clones and mutants. This time around Ryu Hayabusa must figure out why he is being framed for Irene's murder.

Hi, this is the very good-looking LigerOfFortune. I'd just like to say that I have the most ninja runs on SDA and am therefore THE ninja master. About Ninja Gaiden III, Ryu's dragon sword was made of pure gay. I did lots of slashing and hiya-ing and jumping and flipping and all the crazy stuff ninjas do. I give mad props to vgmr for trying to challenge me in Ninja Gaiden runs, but really it's futile to mess with such a powerful liger as myself who has a glistening set of razor-sharp teeth and who likes to gnaw upon unworthy speedruns and then spit them into an abyss so that they may never be viewed again. I actually did this run while eating yogurt simultaneously. I just dip my fuzzy snout into a carton of yogurt and use my dexterous paws to control Ryu. Ryu and I are one. I could probably control him with just my mind. I also did three sets of 30 push-ups during this run, just to alleviate some of the boredom.
