Super Ninja Boy

Super Ninja Boy combines classic role-playing video game elements with action game elements. The player controls the main character Jack (or two players can control both Jack and Ryu) and randomly encounters enemies on the world map and in dungeons. In side-scrolling battles, the player can jump, punch, throw enemies, use items like shurikens or techniques such as the super jump or fireball. Battles take place in a beat'em up style and end after a specific number of enemies are killed (no matter how many are still remaining on screen).

Boss battles are fought in a turn-based RPG style, using the same items and skills as normally. There are also some 2D platform areas, which play the same as the normal battles without depth (the player can only go right or left).
