JaJaMaru no Daibouken

In JaJaMaru no Daibouken, the red ninja Jajamaru sets out to rescue Princess Sakura from the Catfish Pirate and his minions. The game features ten side-scrolling stages where players must reach the end before time runs out.

Jajamaru can jump and throw shurikens at enemies. Defeated foes release souls, and collecting 50 provides an extra life. Power-ups include temporary invisibility, Jajamaru dolls that add to the life reserve, and the ability to ride a giant frog.

After each side-scrolling stage, a bonus-round battle lets players earn points by defeating bosses. Developed by TOSE and published by Jaleco, the game was released on August 22, 1986, for Family Computer, Nintendo Entertainment System, and Nintendo Famicom.
