The Story Behind Mystic Warriors (USA)

The player takes control of one of five young ninja who are being targeted by Skull forces: Spyros, Keima, Kojiro, Brad, and Yuri. After defeating the Skull forces, the four remaining ninja mourn for the loss of their companion before returning home. Tracks 23–46 on Disc 2 are from the game.

Hamster Corporation released the game as part of their Arcade Archives series for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in December 2023. The game can be played by up to two or four players (depending on the game's configuration); after each player chooses their character, one of the remaining members of the group will get kidnapped (if four of the five are chosen instead, the last remaining character will be captured), prompting the remaining four to begin their mission. Mystic Warriors is set in a dystopian future in New York (this is notable due to the World Trade Center being seen in some stages and the castle in the eighth stage's west 42nd Street sign), where an evil organization known as the Skull Enterprise has taken over the nation and plots a worldwide takeover.

How Mystic Warriors (USA) Plays

The game's controls consists of an eight-way joystick and two buttons for attacking and jumping. The rest of the game is spent with the remaining ninja avenging the death of their fallen comrade. Like in Sunset Riders, the player can jump between higher or lower levels, as well as slide.

During their journey across several regions of Japan, the four ninja eventually find and rescue their kidnapped friend, but their reunion is short-lived, and the rescued ninja soon performs a sacrificial move to free them from an electric trap, dying in the process. These include a shuriken power-up that can increase the player's shooting power by up to two levels (which differ between characters), food (sushi, tempura, udon, sukiyaki) that will replenish the player's life gauge, a blue orb with the kanji that will surround the player with a barrier for a limited period, a yellow orb with the kanji that will destroy all on-screen enemies, and various kinds of jewelry for extra points and temporary invincibility. The player takes control of one of five young ninja who are being targeted by Skull forces: Spyros, Keima, Kojiro, Brad, and Yuri.
