Shining Soul II is the last 'Shining' title to reach American shores, and the author's 5th 'Shining' TAS on the site. Unlike some (https://tasvideos.org/1312M) previous (https://tasvideos.org/1527M) games (https://tasvideos.org/1343M) in the series, this game and its prequel (https://tasvideos.org/1540M) play more like traditional Action-RPGs. This game, like its prequel, allows the player to pick a character type. In this run, the character chosen was a ninja, for his ability to use speed magic.

The author uses a glitch to dupe power wines and bombs, the former massively increasing his attack strength, and the latter making the run look more like Bomberman than a 'Shining' game!

This run is 17:58.75 faster than his previous Shining Soul II publication (https://tasvideos.org/1557M) due to some very impressive manipulation to slaughter bosses in mere seconds. It is recommended that you read the authors comments (https://tasvideos.org/2833S) for more information about the run and the game.
