Overview and Gameplay
Rocky, Colt, and Tum-Tum travel with Grandfather Mori to recover a ceremonial dagger and confront his old rival, Koga. Choose one of the three brothers, then fight ninjas, animals, bosses, and environmental hazards across five main stages ending at Castle Osaka.
This side-scrolling action platformer combines weapon combat with climbing, crawling, ledge grabbing, swinging, hidden areas, chase sequences, and small stage objectives. Each brother carries a different weapon and has character-specific attacks, although their overall play styles remain similar.
