Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 3

Miraculously, it reaches her boyfriend Yanchamaru who, being the upstanding samurai that he is, immediately sets out to save her.

Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 3 is the final sequel to Kid Niki and is a significant departure from the first two games.

Not only does the game feature full four-way scrolling and large maps to explore, but Yanchamaru himself sports a completely new look and numerous new abilities.

His trademark spinning sword now seems to more closely resemble a bō , and Yanchamaru can now use it to shoot waves of energy at foes, bounce on the end, spin in place, and even launch off of walls and corners.

Taking a cue from Mega Man , he also now has the ability to slide through narrow spaces and underneath dangerous spikes.

Each stage contains numerous keys and locked doors.

Any key will open any door, and it is possible to complete a stage without even finding all the keys and doors.

The final door in each stage leads to the boss room.

After clearing each stage, your performance is tallied, and depending on what you did, bonuses such as points or lives are given.

Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 3 for Nintendo Entertainment System is currently worth €229.73 loose, €474.49 complete in box, and €1452.22 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 3 has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 3, loose is €229.73 and CIB is €474.49 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.
