Story:
Fifty years ago, the master samurai fought in a ninja tournament to win a magical dagger that together with an ancient samurai sword, is believed to be the key to unlocking a secret cave laden with riches. After winning the tournament and rightfully gaining the dagger, it was stolen by the master's arch rival Koga. Though the master searched far and wide, he never found any trace of Koga or the dagger. Now, too old to continue searching, the master sends his three young apprentices, the young ninja brothers, Rocky, Colt and Tum-Tum, to assist him in retrieving the prized dagger.

Gameplay:
3 Ninjas Kick Back is a 2D Platformer game.
There is an initial character screen, where one of the three brothers must be chosen as the main character. The game itself is a very standard side scrolling platform game. Each of the characters has their own unique weapon. Rocky has a bo, Colt uses a katana, and Tum-tum wields twin sai. Enemies consist of rebel ninjas working for Koga, wild animals such as dogs and bats, and hazards such as moving boulders and spikes. As shown below, the game menu is a system representation of the poster used for the movie of the same name.

A run-of-the-mill action platformer based on the 1994 children's movie, 3 Ninjas Kick Back features three playable characters (Rocky, Colt, and Tum-Tum), each having a unique weapon. Visually, this title looks dated, with small cartoon-like character sprites and bland environments backed by the same repetitious tune, with equally repetitive run, slash, and jump gameplay.
