Gameplay
The player takes role of a ninja (either the male Tsukikage and or the female Saiyuri), using the D-pad to move and the buttons to jump and attack. Various special items called Shinobi Tools need be collected to master the five arts of ninjutsu (Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, and Heaven) and proceed through the game. Guards may alert the others and can be avoided. The player's rank at the end of each stage is determined by how fast the level was completed and how many times the protagonist has been spotted by human enemies, and cards can be awarded to the player.
Reception
Return of the Ninja received positive reviews, including 3/5 from Nintendo Power, 4/5 from GamePro, and 8/10 from Gamesector. Retro Gamer highlighted it as one of the most memorable games about Japanese warriors.
