Surf Ninjas

Players control one of the brothers as he travels through different locations such as the Palace restaurant, the docks at Venice (California), the island of Patu San and more. The 2D side-scrolling platform missions contain platforms, enemies, and hazards. One button is used to jump while the other, in combination with the D-pad, launches punches, kicks, throws, and various combos. Attacks can also be performed from the air or using very high jumps.

During gameplay an options screen can be accessed to review the statistics (health, strength, reflex, and fight), get a hint through Adam's Game Gear, call the ninja Zatch to launch a powerful attack, or select a weapon such as shurikens, fireballs, a knife, and a sword. By defeating enemies coins are collected to be spent on bonus time on the clock, Zatch power-ups, a bonus life, complete regeneration, a hint, a weapon, or a continue.
