Legend of the Mystical Ninja
Konami
The Legend of the Mystical Ninja, is an action-
adventure game for by Konami, and was released
for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in
1991. Although both characters have different
weapons and learn different attacks, they are
functionally identical. Their primary short-range
weapons have three levels and are improved in
range by acquiring grey cats left by defeated
enemies.
Both characters are also equipped with thrown
weapons from the beginning (which decreases
money as you use it) and can acquire bombs by
purchasing them in stores or by winning them in
mini-games. Each character can learn four Judo
abilities which are functionally identical between
the two characters. Most stages (known as
"Warlock Zones") are separated into two sections.
The first section is centered on town exploration
with the second section of each stage being a
platformer section.
