Play Super Ninja Boy Online

Super Ninja Boy is this weird, charming little SNES action-RPG where you play as two ninjas investigating why their homeland’s suddenly crawling with monsters after a suspiciously peaceful alien visit. The setup sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon—Emperor Chin, a spaceship broadcasting "peace," and a guy named Rub-A-Doc (seriously)—but it works.

You’ll mostly run around in top-down towns and dungeons, then switch to side-scrolling combat when enemies show up. It’s chaotic fun—you’re jumping, slashing, and breaking open random boxes mid-battle for power-ups. Boss fights flip to turn-based, which keeps things from getting stale. The two-player mode’s neat too—your buddy can drop in anytime by hitting up a convenience store (because why not?).

It’s janky in that classic SNES way, but there’s something oddly satisfying about leveling up your ninjas and watching them shred through monsters with increasingly ridiculous skills. Just don’t expect a deep story—this is pure 90s action with a side of questionable alien diplomacy.
