Description

"3 Ninjas Kick Back" is a video game released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1994, based on the movie of the same name. Developed by Malibu Interactive and published by Sony Imagesoft, the game allows players to step into the roles of the three young ninja brothers - Rocky, Colt, and Tum Tum. Each brother has unique abilities that the player can utilize to navigate through the various levels. The game’s primary objective is to recover a stolen dagger and take it to Japan to win a ninja tournament. The gameplay combines platforming elements with adventure and a series of challenges that include fighting enemies, dodging obstacles, and solving puzzles.

"3 Ninjas Kick Back" features both single-player and multiplayer modes, offering a cooperative gameplay experience where players can switch between the ninja brothers to use their specific skills for different challenges. The game’s levels are diverse, ranging from city rooftops to forests and caves, each themed around the scenes of the accompanying film. Despite its association with a popular children's movie, the game received mixed reviews, often criticized for its challenging controls and lack of innovative gameplay. However, it holds a place in the memories of many 90s kids, contributing to the cultural tapestry of SNES gaming during that era. This game is a quintessential example of early 90s video game adaptations of movies, aiming to capitalize on the success of their cinematic counterparts.
