Ninja Jajamaru Kun

Take on the role of a ninja called JaJaMaru and rescue the captured
Princess Sakura from the evil Namazu Dayuu in this action-packed game,
never before released outside of Japan. JaJaMaru must use his throwing
stars to defeat the monsters lurking in each of Dayuu’s many hideouts.
JaJaMaru has to be careful though, as each monster has its own unique
weapon and method of attacking. The only way for him to advance is to
break the floor bricks above him and move up and down between the levels
of each round, defeating monsters as he goes. To help him, broken bricks
sometimes reveal items that Ninja JaJaMaru-kun can use to his advantage, possibly
leading to him getting the ultimate power-up—a ride on Gamapakun, the
giant frog! Take all this, throw in some bonus stages, and you’ve got a
game with a style all its own!
