## Description
One day a spaceship came down from the heavens and into the skies of
Chinaland. It began broadcasting an image of peace. Soon Emperor Chin was
holding a peace conference with the space ship’s leader, Rub-A-Doc. Rub-A-Doc
visited with some of the other places in the world before departing to the
heavens and leaving the world. All seemed peaceful however there seems to be
trouble starting up, strange monsters have been seen throughout Chinaland.
Could the increase in monsters be somehow related to the recent visit from
Rub-A-Doc? The ninja masters of Mount Edin, Jack and Ryu are sent to
investigate…
_Super Ninja Boy_ is an action RPG for one or two players. In a two player
game, each player controls either Jack or Ryu. In a one player game, only Jack
appears. A second player may join at any time by visiting a convenience store.
The game contains familiar role-playing elements such as equipping differing
kinds of weapons, equipment and gaining levels. The Ninja Boys are treated as
a single entity and so these statistics are shared between Jack and Ryu with
equal values. Battles with the enemy, either through random encounters or
visible on the map is where the action starts. The characters enter a side-
scrolling ‘battle mode’ where they may jump, fight, use their special
techniques, items and spells, as well as activate various bonuses on the
battlefield by breaking open the bonus boxes. A battle is over and experience
points awarded when a pre-determined number of enemies are defeated or the
Ninja Boys are defeated.
When bosses are encountered, the gameplay changes to a turn-based system. Each
turn, commands are given to Jack and Ryu, which include usage of special items
and skills acquired during the game, who then perform actions based on those
commands. The enemy’s turn takes place the same way. The battle ends when one
side of the conflict runs out of hitpoints.
