Play Nintama Rantarou - Ninjutsu Gakuen Puzzle Taikai no Dan (Japan) Online

Game Overview

Ever played Tetris and thought, "This needs more ninjas"? That’s basically Nintama Rantarou - Ninjutsu Gakuen Puzzle Taikai no Dan in a nutshell. Blocks fall, but instead of just clearing lines, you’re helping these tiny ninja trainees pull off ridiculous stunts—like dodging their teachers or sabotaging rival teams. The whole thing feels like a chaotic schoolyard brawl, but with way more strategy than you’d expect.

At first, it seems simple: match colors, drop blocks. Then you realize some combos trigger special ninja moves, and suddenly you’re frantically planning three steps ahead while the screen fills up with ridiculous cartoon chaos. The art style nails the anime’s goofy vibe, right down to the exaggerated expressions when things go wrong (which they will, often).

It’s one of those SNES games that flew under the radar, but if you like puzzles with personality—or just miss that 90s charm—it’s a blast. Just don’t blame me when you get stuck trying to beat that one obnoxious level for the tenth time.
