Nintama Rantarou Special came out for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1997, developed by Culture Brain. It was a late release for the SNES, arriving when many players were already moving on to newer consoles, which gives it a particular niche feel. The game is based on the long running anime series about ninja students, so it was clearly aimed at fans of that show.

You control Rantarou and his two friends, moving screen by screen through a sidescrolling world. The main goal is to rescue your kidnapped teacher by navigating the school and its surrounding areas. Your primary actions include using a short range sword to fend off enemy ninjas and throwing shurikens for a bit of distance. You also jump between platforms and search for specific items to unlock new paths. The pacing is generally brisk, though some sections can be tricky with enemies appearing from off screen. It feels like a straightforward, cartoonish adventure that doesn't take itself too seriously.
