Ninja Kids is an insane mixture of muppets, explicit violence, and racial stereotype enemies. Its gameplay is essentially TMNT with slightly more diverse characters and screen-filling magic attacks. It's fairly short and somewhat lacking in enemy variety but is ultimately an extremely memorable experience.
