Alex Kidd in Shinobi World Game

Alex Kidd in Shinobi World is SEGA’s delightful mash-up of two iconic franchises, throwing everyone’s favorite monkey-tailed hero into the high-flying, ninja-star-chucking world of Shinobi! Imagine Alex Kidd trading his usual rock-paper-scissors battles for shurikens, sword slashes, and wall-jumping action—it’s as weirdly awesome as it sounds. This quirky spin-off ditches the series’ traditional platforming for fast-paced, ninja-style combat, with Alex slicing through enemies, dodging traps, and even summoning a dragon (because why not?).

Nostalgia alert: If you grew up with the SEGA Master System, this gem was a total curveball—proof that Alex Kidd could break out of his usual mold and deliver something fresh. It’s shorter and simpler than a typical Shinobi game, but the charm is in its goofy premise and tight, addictive gameplay. Whether you’re a retro enthusiast or just love seeing classic characters in unexpected roles, this one’s a blast from the past that still holds up. Ready to see Alex Kidd as the ninja hero we never knew we needed? Grab your sword and jump in!
