Robot sniper units

Robot Sniper Units
Robot Sniper Units, also known as Robot Snipers, are enemies in Final Ninja Zero.

Appearance
The Robot Sniper unit has as a block with several cylinders and smaller blocks attached to it. Notable parts of it are an orange light seen on the front of the Sniper, and antennae on the back of the Sniper.

Game information
Robot Snipers do not move, but instead stay in one area and control a crosshair. When Takeshi gets in range of the crosshair, it will begin to follow him. The crosshair will move slowly, but fast enough to keep up with Takeshi. The crosshair will only fire if a part of it is on Takeshi, and continually fire until Takeshi outruns it. Robot Sniper units are more advanced than the Final Ninja variation, as going into stealth while the crosshair is after Takeshi will do nothing, as the Robot Sniper Unit can detect where Takeshi is, and will notice him a if he is just standing there.

Although Stealth will not work at all with the Robot Sniper Unit, hiding behind grey cables will prevent the Robot Sniper from detecting Takeshi, possibly because the energy going through the cables disrupts the Robot Sniper Unit's detection. Robot Sniper Units are located somewhere in the level, but can be hard to find. Robot Sniper Units are exceedingly weak and will explode if it with a single Ninja Star.

Robot Sniper Units are not very common in Final Ninja Zero, and unlike Final Ninja 1, the maximum Sniper Units that appear in a level are 1. Robt Sniper Units can be difficult to avoid if multiple enemies are in the level.
