3 Ninjas Kick Back (SNES) Gameplay
The game is a standard side scrolling platformer where players play as one of three brothers as the main character. Each of the brother has a weapon that is unique to them. Tum-tum the youngest brother has twin sai, Rocky the older has a bo while Colt the middle brother has a katana. The three brothers fight a large variety of enemies which range from wild animals to the rebel ninjas that work for Koga. The goal of this game is to play through all the level till the end and defeating the final boss (Koga). When Koga is defeated, the stolen dagger is returned to the master in Japan.
The master samurai took part in a ninja tournament 15 years ago and won a magical dagger that when put together with an ancient samurai sword had the key to unlock a cave laden with riches. After winning the dagger fair and square, it is stolen from the master samurai by his nemesis Koga. Too old to carry out the search for the dagger, he sends three young ninja brothers, Rocky, Colt and Tum-tum to help him get his dagger back.
