Red Stealth

Red Stealth is a power-up in Kid Chameleon. He is the most iconic of the nine different helmets since he is on the title screen and also in many places throughout the game.

Appearance
Red Stealth seems to be a cute little samurai with a slightly ineffective katana. In the title screen, he is mainly all red and wears zorī.

Abilities
He can jump very high, much higher than other power-ups can. He can also destroy Rock blocks from above and reveal items from Prize blocks from above. Finally, he has a sword attack.

Tips and Advice
Be careful around slopes. Since Red Stealth cannot climb slopes unless he jumps a bunch of times, it is easy to fall into a Drill block or a bottomless pit. He can also jump unnecessarily high, which is a good thing, but makes it hard to get on a small platform.

Additionally, his main sword attack requires the player to be extremely close to an enemy. On boss levels, I recommend not getting it entirely unless it is for damage boosting.

Trivia

 * It was going to be called "Samurai Kid".
 * On the Japanese title screen, he appears on the bottom left instead of the top right.
