Kyatto Ninden Teyandee is a licensed cartoon action platformer published by Tecmo exclusively for the Famicom based on the anime series. Play as a team of cat ninja heroes, traversing whimsical feudal-themed stages, using melee strikes and throwing weapons against comical villain henchmen. Character switching enables varied tactics to overcome enemy threats and stage obstacles.
Horizontal scrolling Edo-style village, shrine and castle stages host roaming patrol foes. Rice ball pickups restore vitality; hidden supply crates refill throwing item reserves. Every world concludes with a lighthearted multi-phase boss duel against the main antagonists.
Secret shortcut passages allow explorers to skip lengthy platform stretches. Later stages feature fast hazard cycles requiring precise jump timing.
Tecmo’s bright manga-style tile graphics and cheerful instrumental soundtrack maintain the playful anime tone of the original series.
Strategically, consistent stage clearing requires swapping heroes to match enemy types. Sticking permanently to one character creates avoidable vulnerabilities against foes countering their fighting style.
For contemporary Famicom retro Kyatto Ninden Teyandee licensed collectors, this title is a family-friendly domestic Tecmo ninja platform curio.
