Run at thing! Jump over them or hit them with your sword!
This description is apt for the whole genre into which Kid Niki: Radical Ninja falls
You are a very silly looking (almost Dragonball Z-esque) ninja in this side scrolling adventure game. You battle enemies with your spinning sword. You can also obtain powerups and other weapons. An example of the
light-heartedness of this game: the first end-boss is named
Death Breath.
