PrinceWatercress plays Kyatto Ninden Teyandee - Part 1 of 11

I remember watching this cartoon before getting on the bus in fifth grade. I really need to watch it again.

Next | End | Longplay

As soon as you start the game, you are introduced to the Rescue Team. Catton can punch rocks, Meowzma can dig in dirt, Bat Cat can fly and Spritz is the best swimmer.

Stage 1

Little Tokyo is peaceful...until a giant robot starts attacking the city. Now it's up to the Samurai Pizza Cats - Speedy Pizzas, Guido Anchovy and Polly Esther - to stop it.

A jumps, B attacks, Left and Right let you move around and double tapping either direction lets you dash and make some very high running jumps. Go in the other direction to stop. Up and B lets you use your Ninpo attacks, which uses some of your Ninpo meter.

The hearts are your health. To the right of that is your score and current amount of lives as well as the Help Meter. When you pause the game, you can switch between the Samurai Pizza Cat you are currently playing as and the four members of the Rescue Team with the Control Pad. When you use their abilities, the Help meter goes down. Picking up a jingle bell icon or switching back to your main Samurai Pizza Cat will refill it, even though the jingle bell is an instant full refill.

You'll have to move into the rock and hold the Control Pad towards it before punching it with B in order to break it with Catton. 

The enemies here are pretty easy, all things considered. Some of the ninja birds will double back if they run past you.

The Japanese symbol powers up your Ninpo attack. The first one is always a shuriken of some sort, though the second attack is a more powerful projectile that may or may not be some sort of boomerang. The third level is a full-screen attack.

There are alternate paths through the levels, but they all lead to the same place in the end. One such path has water, and while you usually have to jump to ascend in it, you can use just the Control Pad if you're playing as Spritz.

Meowzma can dig through the dirt. Just move into it and Meowzma will do the rest.

The scroll with the N fully refills your Ninpo.

The small cop robots will explode after they start standing still. Watch out for the debris that comes down.

At the end of the stage, you'll meet Bad Bird, who sends Pappaira at you. To beat Pappaira, go up to him and hit the small skull on its body. There will be UFO's descending towards you, but Pappaira is super-easy to beat.

After the battle, Seymour "The Big" Cheese takes his anger out on Jerry Atric, then you can choose between the next three stages.
