One of the game's most acclaimed features was the Mission Editor. High ranks are then used to unlock special gadgets that can be used in-game. After the player completes a mission, they are given a rank depending on their accomplishments during that mission such as number of enemies killed, number of times spotted etc. Missions are set in different locales at varying times of day, ranging from rural farmland, bamboo forests, mountainous regions, beaches, ships, villages and caverns. The player can use a variety of ninja tools and equipment and stealth to dispatch enemies and complete the game's missions.
