Concerned, that a new evil has appeared, the two set out to confront it at the temple.
This is just the beginning of a new adventure that will take them Goemon and his partner all across Japan; into moutain villages, amusement parks, castle fortresses and more! Players control either Goemon or his partner Ebisu-Maru (or both, in 2 player mode).
They sequentially travel through adventure-type villages and side-scrolling jump and run action stages.
In the overhead-view villages, enemies must be defeated in order to earn money and other items (which include a weapon-enhancing lucky cat and mystical scrolls).
The player is able to attack with their primary weapon and jump.
Throwing weapons can also be used, which consume money for each one thrown.
Attacking innocent villagers will cause the player to lose money.
Money can also be gained (or lost) by visiting one of the numerous mini games, often in houses: which include mazes, whack-a-mole, the lottery, dice, a 3D labyrinth and a game trivia quiz show.
Other businesses such as shops, resturants, inns and judo training can also be visited.
At the end of each village is an "action area" which changes the game in a complete side-scroller.
One or both players can enter this place, filled with obstacles, traps, enemies and a boss creature.
In addition to the regular moves used in town, players also gain the ability to unleash one of four special attacks for each character (if bought beforehand at the judo training center).
These consume the scrolls collected in order to use.
Additionally, in a 2 player game, characters can ride piggy-back on one another, to avoid getting stuck by a scrolling screen.
About Super Nintendo Entertainment System
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1990/1991) is widely regarded as home to one of the strongest first-party libraries in gaming history, from Super Metroid to Chrono Trigger. It's a mature collecting market: iconic RPGs and late-cycle releases (which typically had smaller print runs as the industry moved toward the next generation) are consistently among the most sought-after and valuable cartridges from the 16-bit era.
Gamevaro tracks The Legend of The Mystical Ninja for Super Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding The Legend of The Mystical Ninja to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This SNES release dates back to 1991.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for The Legend of The Mystical Ninja, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Super Nintendo Entertainment System titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
