Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Super Chinese (known as Ninja Boy outside of Japan) is a little-known series of games developed by Culture Brain, starring young martial artists Jack and Ryu in their quest to protect their home of Chinaland, the world, and eventually the entire universe with the power of kung-fu and the help of an oddball cast of characters.Super Chinese 2 introduced the unique gameplay that the series is known for, making it one of the earliest Action RPGs in existence. Eventually more Fighting Game elements were brought in with Super Chinese World 2, culminating in an update to the battle system, a VS. Mode, and eventually a spinoff. Super Chinese World 3 had the ability to select from "Command RPG" and "Action RPG" modes, which changed the plot in certain ways. These were also some of the first multiplayer RPGs in existence, with player one controlling Jack and the other playing Ryu.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The games were the subject of a comic series that ran in Gamepro magazine in 1990, as a promotion for the NES version of Super Chinese 2 (called "Little Ninja Brothers" in North America.) The comic gained a small bit of infamy by adapting the entire story of the game until just before the final boss battle, where it abruptly ends with a message telling readers that they'll have to buy the game if they want to see how the story ends.Sadly, Super Chinese ran out of steam at the end of the 90's, and Culture Brain has moved on to the Casual Video Game market. The future of the series is uncertain, though there is the faint hope that the company's decision to develop games for the Nintendo 3DS will lead to a revival. | |

Warp Whistle: The Whirly Bird in Little Ninja Brothers could take you to any previously visited town. Subsequent games replaced it with the spells Magiport (which only returns you to the last visited Convenience Store) and Magidoor (allows a quick escape from dungeons). | |

Dummied Out: Two weapons called "Lee's Punch" and "Jacky's Sword" exist in Super Chinese 2's code. However, Little Ninja Brothers renamed the latter as a duplicate Hawk Sword, thus removing the Continuity Nod to the previous game. | |

Hyperactive Metabolism: Sweet Buns (anman) and Meat Buns (nikuman) are the staple HP-recovering items in the series. Little Ninja Brothers takes this literally, as the heroes are capable of stuffing themselves silly and only require a little bit of walking to return to their normal weight. The remake has a weight-lifting minigame instead, but it's still a speedy process. | |

Guide Dang It!: The manual of Kung-Fu Heroes does not tell you how to equip the Sword once you find it (it's A+B with any d-pad direction held). Since some enemies can only be killed with the Sword, meaning you most likely need to use it to finish the game with your sanity intact, this is quite the glaring omission. | |

The Four Gods: May be another source of inspiration for Jack and Ryu's names aside from the Named After Somebody Famous example below. They're written in kanji as 雀 and 龍, both characters used for the names of Suzaku and Seiryuu in their native Chinese. Their Elemental Powers also correspond with the affinities of the two gods (Fire and Lightning). Byakko and Genbu don't seem to have representatives. | |

Difficulty by Region: The difficulty of Super Ninja Boy is toned down considerably from the original Super Chinese World. For example, one had to go through a Special Stage in order to get to Notruedamus (who is simply right next door to Emperor Chin in the English release); the area in question was relocated much farther along in the game. | |

Stay in the Kitchen | |
| Super Chinese (Video Game) / int_9cbf01d6 | comment |
Stay in the Kitchen: Jack and Ryu attempt this approach on Lin-Lin in Super Chinese World 3 when she tries to join them in Action RPG Mode. Ryu ends up accepting her help more readily than Jack, who breaks the fourth wall by complaining about his main character status being compromised. This doesn't happen in Command RPG mode, because they witness her strength first-hand. | |

Naked People Are Funny: The mayor of Cilly City and his subordinates strip nude as a result of the Evil Queen's curse. In Super Chinese 2, they wonder what Jack and Ryu think of their bodies instead of making animal sounds like in Little Ninja Brothers. (For example, the woman refers to her "impressive jugs.") | |

Slipping a Mickey: Little Ninja Brothers has the heroes eat drugged food prepared for them by the mayor of Deli-Chous (actually a disguised Tub-A-Tummy). This may also happen in Super Chinese Fighter's Adventure Mode by means of paralysis-inducing ramen, leaving only Robo-No-Hana usable for the following battle. | |

Older Alter Ego: Jack and Ryu acquire the "Hyper Chinese" ability in Super Chinese World 2, allowing them to temporarily become more powerful teenagers. Also counts as Next Tier Power-Up because it's obtained at the beginning of the game, the only requirement being at level 3. The Hyper Chinese form is the default in Super Chinese World 3, but it's still not permanent. | |
