Ganso Jajamaru-kun is a remake of the NES platformer Ninja Jajamaru-kun. It includes new levels and bosses that stretch the gameplay in novel ways.

Lord Namazu Dayuu has kidnapped Princess Sakura . This piratical lord is no laughing matter, despite his sadistically gleeful disposition, he possesses an army of creatures drawn from Japanese folklore to prevent you from reuniting with your princess ever again.

The game is quite simple and plays, for the most part, much like its predecessor. Princess Sakura 's journey begins on the bottom of a three-tiered horizontal field. On each level, there are bricks that contain power-ups between tiers that wear out after a certain amount of time, with the exception of the frog. The frog will appear on the upper right-hand corner of the screen so you know which ones you've picked up recently, getting the frog clears this list.

Ninja Cart : this is a small velocoped for ninja, one in this cart you'll be able to kill enemies by barreling into them.

Big Shuriken : this will make your ninja stars about as big as you are, easily defeating evasive enemies.

Long Distance : this weapon upgrade will make your attacks go across the entire screen.

Katana : a fearsome sword, the katana can do away with any foe, regardless of if they have armor or are too low to hit with your normal attack. The katana also destroys incoming projectiles, however, this blade has a very limited range so be careful.

Boomerang : causes your shuriken to fly back at you, it won't harm you, but it is great for picking off foes that are weak from behind.

Speed increase : this spherical power-up increases Princess Sakura 's speed to the peril of her enemies, and herself.

Watch : this item will give you more time.

Extra Ninja : this item will grant you an extra life, very rare! They do not count as a collected item.

Inscribed Coin : these coins available in white and black are worth varying amounts of points. They do not count as a collected item.

Bombs : these items look like two speed boost orbs, or the wheels of the cart, however, they are a trap. Jumping into these means instant death for Princess Sakura .

Trusty Frog : Princess Sakura 's noble steed, a humongous man-eating frog. Should you collect four power-ups instead of receiving the power of the fourth you will get to ride on your gigantic frog and eat all the enemies on the stage. This can be dangerous though if you have not yet gotten the stages petal as once on the frog it won't show up. There is no time limit on how long the frog stays, unless of course the time runs out entirely before you gobble up all the enemies.

Each area boss is attacked in a unique boxed-in area, sometimes with platforms. The final boss is the only area where Princess Sakura may throw her shuriken vertically. There are no power-ups in boss rooms.

The power-ups that can be found in the bricks between tiers will wear out after a certain amount of time, with the exception of the frog. The frog will appear on the upper right-hand corner of the screen so you know which ones you've picked up recently, getting the frog clears this list. There is no time limit on how long the frog stays, unless of course the time runs out entirely before you gobble up all the enemies.
