This is another game I've used to play in my childhood.
I've just played it on the emulator  and I've found some glitches today by myself.

Most of them I'm afraid can only be done by Emulator (requires impossible direction combination). Unless you dismantle the Genesis/Megadrive controller then it might work.

The first glitch is NOT impossible direction related but I used a Shurikin and nothing came out of it and counted as a shot as the counter changed from 94 to 93. Weird.

Now the rest of the video is Impossible Direction combo related.
It shows some of the levels where this glitch is useful./

How to do it?

You do a normal max jump (no summersault) and hold all 4 directions. Then Joe (the character/player) shoots a Shurikin in mid air. This is when you hold 1 direction (which is left or right), right after the shooting animation is done you can jump again in mid-air and repeat this to do infinite mid-air jumps.

Remember you can only do this when you are powered up and when holding the 4 directions make you hold only 1 direction when he has done an ODD number/amount of shots (1,3,5,7 or 9, or every odd number the even numbers doesn't work).

Same Sprite Animation Glitch.

I show you most of the same sprite animations on a late part of this video (like an Summersault animation when walking) 

You do the current animation you are on and hold an impossible combination (such as Left+Right, UP+Down, Up+Down+Left, Up+Down+Right). Some of them you need hold the button combination in order like:

A backward duckslide when facing right is  

Face Right.
Then Hold Up+Down (Face right whilst crouching)
Then Hold left with the other 2 buttons (Up+Down+Left to do a backward duckslide facing right).

There is 1 glitch which can reset the game automatically, you need to have 000 Shurikins you might need to be powered up and all you need to do is to do a normal, max jump, whilst in mid air hold all 4 direction buttons and press the attack button. There it should freeze and go back to the SEGA logo.

Shoot Shurikins with 000 ammo.
Requires Powerup and 000 ammo, All you need to do is to hold all 4 directions and you can shoot but only to the left. When you have ammo you can do this and if you use your attack and jump buttons you can shoot shurikins at a very fast rate.

With the Jistu of Fusion on, do a same sprite animation glitch of Joe desending and he can move like Akuma's Shun Goku Satsu attack (Akuma's Ultimate move from Street Fighter).
