I've recently watched a playthrough of Alex Kidd in Shinobi World and noticed the player was skipping a secret room in round three. Out of curiousity I watched some other playthroughs, and none of the players entered the room, although most of them covered the other secrets. Looking further I found that the room is missing on the maps found here and at vgmaps.

It's an old game, but it's quite good, and I figured there may be some interest in this, so here are the instructions to find the room:

In the second part of round three, enter the area with the red background tiles. Not far from the beginning you will see an opening in the ceiling and a treasure chest right below it. If you don't open the treasure chest, you can use it to wall-jump into the room. The room is filled with lots of treasure chests, most of them empty, though.

That's incredible, I never knew this! I was always saw that gap in the ceiling and thought that's where you fall down from if you go through the other secret wall, but I checked the map and realised that's in the previous section.

Nice find!

Yes, and it looks kind of obvious from the map now I know about it :)

Map now update at the above link. Ctrl+refresh if you don't see it.

Wow, thank you Marsil! 8) Amazing that there are still secrets to discover in Master System games. Especially Alex in Shinobi World is one of the best games on the system and much fun.

I already knew this room since I played this game when I was a child ^^

I thought it was already well known among the players
