Galesburg is the location of Act 1-1 in Ninja Gaiden, where Ryu begins his journey, shortly after he arrives at America to search for Walter Smith. Galesburg, Illinois is an actual city, though much smaller than what is depicted in the game.
At the end of Galesburg, is the location of Act 1-2, Jay's Bar.
Ninja Gaiden[]
Galesburg is notable for having no instant death pits, and has only one wide room. This will give Ryu plenty of time to react to all the enemies coming his way, slow and fast, making for a perfect beginner's playground. There are also areas that teach the player on wall clinging and jumping back and forth to proceed.
All of the sub-weapons are available across this level, on small upper areas that Ryu can explore if he wishes.
