The game is played from a fixed behind-view perspective and Jajamaru-kun can move left, right, forwards and backwards through the 3D environment.
As in previous games, Jajamaru-kun can jump onto platforms to navigate levels as well as throw shurikens to defeat enemies.
He can also collect power ups and use a katana to dispatch enemies that get too close.
Defeating enemies and collecting silver pieces awards points which add up to a total score.
There is a time limit to each level and any seconds remaining in the timer when the level is completed are converted into points which are added to the player's score.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Ninja Jajamaru-Kun for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Ninja Jajamaru-Kun to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1997.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Ninja Jajamaru-Kun, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
