Overview and Gameplay
Naruto and Sasuke enter the Hidden Leaf Village’s annual survival challenge and fight through seven themed areas. Each area contains two action sections with enemies, hazards, collectibles, and boss encounters.
Story Mode advances through the full route, while Free Mode reopens completed sections for practice and score attempts. Finishing the game unlocks nighttime missions and Picture Mode. Clearing Story Mode with both Naruto and Sasuke unlocks Kakashi, and collecting all 100 Leaf Symbols opens the Sound Test.
Controls And Mechanics
The directional pad moves, crouches, crawls, and starts wall runs. A jumps, while repeated B presses create attack combos. Holding B charges a character-specific technique that consumes Chakra, and R throws the equipped ninja tool or activates an elemental scroll.
Lightning, Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind scrolls alter obstacles or create new routes. Recovery Symbols restore health, support characters can replenish health or Chakra, and hidden items may award extra lives. Losing all health or allowing the timer to expire costs one life.
