Nintama Rantarou 3 is a 2D side-scrolling action-platformer released exclusively in Japan for the Super Famicom (SNES) in 1997. Developed by Culture Brain, the game is based on the popular anime series about ninjas-in-training. Players guide the series’ main trioโRantarou, Kirimaru, and Shinbeiโthrough platforming sequences, utilizing their unique ninja abilities while taking on various mini-games between the main action stages.
How to play
Navigate the levels using the directional pad (mapped to the arrow keys). Use the B button (Z key) to jump and the Y button (X key) to attack or use ninja tools. Press Start (Enter) to pause or confirm selections. Each character in the trio has distinct abilities suited for different obstacles, so you will need to adapt to the segments where the game hands you control of a specific character.
Tips
- Pay attention to the mini-games between stages, as they often provide essential items or health restorations to help you survive the main platforming sections.
- Since this is a Japanese release, most text and menus are in Japanese, but the platforming gameplay is intuitive enough to play without understanding the language.
