Rantarō the Ninja Boy is a Japanese anime about a young ninja. The N64 game, based on the show, is a collection of simple puzzle games where you recreate pictures of animals and characters from the series. There are three disctinct modes in the game. The main mode is a block-pushing challenge, where you move blocks onto the correct parts of a picture while avoiding obstacles. You can also use a hookshot to pull blocks towards you, adding a tiny bit of variety to the gameplay.
Another mode features pieces of the image falling from the top of the screen, and you need to move them into the correct column. There’s also a basic jigsaw puzzle mode with a 4×4 grid of squares. As a simple puzzle game aimed at children, it serves its purpose. However, it feels more like a throwaway PC compilation rather than something that stands out.
