- Walkthrough - http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/587347-ikari-warriors/faqs/21864 - Not speedrun oriented, but contains some general information about the game such as weapon descriptions and the item locations (unknown if there are more hidden items).
- "Strategy wiki" - http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Ikari_Warriors - Contains maps for levels 1, 3 and 4 (not of the best quality though) and has items and enemy descriptions.

- "Discovery" of flying to the end of level 4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yO5nKeLhilI (there are three more parts) - This video is part of TheMexicanRunner's quest to beat all licensed NES-games. During the playthrough of Ikari Warriors, he discovered that you could fly the helicopter until the end in level 4 by getting a lucky fuel can drop. Technically speaking, this had apparently been found before. In the level 4 map that can be found in the strategy wiki linked above, the author clearly took screenshots of the whole second half of the stage while being in the (glitched) helicopter (which is only possible by getting said fuel can drop). This would likely have passed by unnoticed though if TheMexicanRunner hadn't came across the same trick.
