Summary
3 Ninjas Kick Back drops you into a classic side‑scrolling beat ’em up where you pick one of the three brothers as your avatar. Rocky swings a bo, Colt slices with a katana, and Tum‑tum darts around with twin sai, giving each playthrough a distinct feel. The levels are broken into bite‑size zones that flow into one another, keeping the action tight and the pacing brisk.
Enemies range from Koga’s rebel ninjas to snarling dogs, swooping bats, and environmental hazards like rolling boulders and spikes. Each zone ends with a minor boss, building tension until you finally face Koga himself and wrest back the stolen dagger. The game’s straightforward controls and varied weapon styles make it a nostalgic trip for anyone who grew up on early‑90s platformers.
Storyline
In the original tale that frames 3 Ninjas Kick Back, a master samurai entered a ninja tournament fifty years ago to win a magical dagger and an ancient samurai sword believed to unlock a hidden treasure cave. He claimed the dagger, but his arch‑rival Koga stole it, and the master never recovered the prize. Now aged and unable to hunt the thief himself, the samurai enlists his three young apprentices—brother ninjas Rocky, Colt and Tum‑Tum—to retrieve the stolen relic. The brothers travel across varied locales, honing ninjitsu and karate as they battle foes that are older, stronger and larger than they are. Once the dagger is returned to its rightful owner, it will be passed on to the next generation of tournament winners.
