Okay, so Kamen No Ninja - Hanamaru is this weird little NES gem where you play as a pizza-loving ninja—yeah, Domino’s somehow turned their mascot into a side-scrolling hero. You’re jumping over pits, dodging rolling dough hazards, and tossing shurikens (or maybe pizza cutters?) at enemies. The controls are a bit stiff, but once you get used to it, there’s something oddly satisfying about bouncing off rooftops and collecting power-ups that look suspiciously like toppings.
First time I played, I expected it to be a cash-grab, but the levels actually have some clever design—especially that one where you’re hopping across floating pizzas. Just don’t get too attached to the music; it loops fast. If you’re into retro platformers with bizarre corporate mascots, this one’s a trip.
