You play as one of the three main characters in the film. Your goal regardless of which character you choose is to assist an old samurai in retrieving a prized dagger from an old rival. To do so, you must complete a series of levels, each requiring you to complete a certain task (sometimes with a time limit) before continuing. {{A}} shoots your sword (which may have an item attached to it, such as spreader bullets), {{B}} jumps, and {{C}} uses a special weapon found throughout the levels. {{A}} while in midair kicks. Hold {{down}} to crouch; moving left/right while crouching will have you crawl and you do not need to keep {{down}} held while you crawl, so you will stand up once you let go of the D-pad.

The master samurai Mori competed in a ninja tournament fifty years ago for a magical dagger and an ancient samurai sword thought to be the key to opening a hidden cave full of treasure. After winning the tournament and rightfully gaining the dagger, it was stolen by the master's archrival, Koga. Though the master searched far and wide, he never found any trace of Koga or the dagger. Now, too old to continue searching, the master sends his three grandchildren, whom he has trained in the ninja arts, the young brothers Rocky, Colt, and Tum Tum, to assist him in retrieving the prized dagger. Once it has been restored to its rightful owner, the dagger shall once again be passed along to younger generations, through the winners of the ninja tournament.

The three brothers play similarly but have different weapons and special abilities. Tum Tum, the youngest brother, is armed with a pair of sai. He is the smallest and fastest. Rocky is the eldest brother and carries a staff. He is the slowest but the strongest. Colt is the middle brother and uses a katana. His attributes are in between the other two. The ninjas walk with {{left}} or {{right}} and crawl with {{downleft}} or {{downright}}. They crouch with {{down}} and jump with {{B}}. They can grab ropes and platforms (including branches) by pressing {{up}} while jumping in front of them. They can pull themselves up a platform with {{up}}+{{B}} or jump down with {{down}}+{{B}}. They climb ladders with {{up}} and {{down}}. In some levels, there are areas in the background that characters can hide in with {{up}} to avoid enemy projectiles.

The ninjas attack using their weapons with {{A}}, which can also be done while crouching. They attack in midair by kicking. Their attacks can be temporarily augmented with ranged shots by collecting a Blue Crystal Ball item: Tum Tum shoots a single miniature sai, Colt shoots three daggers in a spread, and Rocky shoots three shuriken in a spread. The ninjas perform a special defensive move, swinging their weapons in the air while standing in place, with {{up}}+{{A}}. Each ninja also has a special ability, performed with {{A}}+{{B}}, where they jump into the air while spinning with their weapons. However, using this ability costs one point of health. The ninjas can also acquire bombs in the levels, which are used with {{C}}. Bombs are limited in supply. Hidden passages can sometimes be blown open with bombs.

The ninjas have five hit points and lose a life when they run out of hit points of the timer runs out. They restart the level at the beginning or the last checkpoint. In two-player games, when one player loses a life, he does not respawn until the other player also loses a life or completes the level. The game ends if the players run out of lives. Extra lives are awarded at 10,000, 25,000, 50,000, and 100,000 points and then every 100,000 points after that. There are three difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, and Hard). Easy mode has passwords for each level.

Story

3 Ninjas Kick Back, Introduction.png

Mori

The master samurai Mori competed in a ninja tournament fifty years ago for a magical dagger and an ancient samurai sword thought to be the key to opening a hidden cave full of treasure. After winning the tournament and rightfully gaining the dagger, it was stolen by the master's archrival, Koga. Though the master searched far and wide, he never found any trace of Koga or the dagger. Now, too old to continue searching, the master sends his three grandchildren, whom he has trained in the ninja arts, the young brothers Rocky, Colt, and Tum Tum, to assist him in retrieving the prized dagger. Once it has been restored to its rightful owner, the dagger shall once again be passed along to younger generations, through the winners of the ninja tournament.

Gameplay

3 Ninjas Kick Back, Character Select.png

Character select

The game is a side-scrolling action platformer played as the three young ninjas from the film. It can be played by two player simultaneously, with each player controlling a different character. The goal of each level is to make it to the end or to complete some other objective explained beforehand, such as destroying certain targets or collecting items. On these levels, a counter appears in the bottom-right that shows how many objectives remain.

The three brothers play similarly but have different weapons and special abilities. Tum Tum, the youngest brother, is armed with a pair of sai. He is the smallest and fastest. Rocky is the eldest brother and carries a staff. He is the slowest but the strongest. Colt is the middle brother and uses a katana. His attributes are in between the other two. The ninjas walk with Left or Right and crawl with Down-left or Down-right. They crouch with Down and jump with B. They can grab ropes and platforms (including branches) by pressing Up while jumping in front of them. They can pull themselves up a platform with Up+B or jump down with Down+B. They climb ladders with Up and Down. In some levels, there are areas in the background that characters can hide in with Up to avoid enemy projectiles.

The ninjas attack using their weapons with A, which can also be done while crouching. They attack in midair by kicking. Their attacks can be temporarily augmented with ranged shots by collecting a Blue Crystal Ball item: Tum Tum shoots a single miniature sai, Colt shoots three daggers in a spread, and Rocky shoots three shuriken in a spread. The ninjas perform a special defensive move, swinging their weapons in the air while standing in place, with Up+A. Each ninja also has a special ability, performed with A+B, where they jump into the air while spinning with their weapons. However, using this ability costs one point of health. The ninjas can also acquire bombs in the levels, which are used with C. Bombs are limited in supply. Hidden passages can sometimes be blown open with bombs.

The ninjas have five hit points and lose a life when they run out of hit points of the timer runs out. They restart the level at the beginning or the last checkpoint. In two-player games, when one player loses a life, he does not respawn until the other player also loses a life or completes the level. The game ends if the players run out of lives. Extra lives are awarded at 10,000, 25,000, 50,000, and 100,000 points and then every 100,000 points after that. There are three difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, and Hard). Easy mode has passwords for each level.
