This article has a talk page!Ninja Jajamaru: Ginga Daisakusen is a cutesy - if somewhat generic - platformer that was rather obviously inspired by Super Mario Bros. 3. There were plans to release this game overseas, but they were squashed before they could come to fruition. A re-translation was eventually released as part of Ninja Jajamaru: Retro Collection in 2023.
Debug Display#
Game Genie code NNNYEYAE will re-enable a simple debug routine. After entering this code, the score-keeping part of the game HUD will be replaced with 12 large digits, plus 2 small digits in the middle. The digits represent various variables or game flags, such as the remaining time/ammo for powerups, current level position, and number of enemies killed, updated in real-time.
This flag has a similar effect in both of the available prototypes (US and Japanese), though the latter displays some different values, and uses a tilde (~) in place of zeroes.
Sound Test and Level Select#
For the sound test, press A, Up, Down, B, Left, Right, Up, Up, also on Controller 2.
For the level select, press Up, Down, Left, B, A, A, Up, Right on Controller 2.
