    In my opinion, it isn't as good as super mario bros. It does have
    secret treasure rooms, where you can collect coins and such, but
    they are hard to get into. I have only found one so far.
    	The full name is KID NIKI radical ninja, it is made by data
    east. It is taken from the arcade game, of the same name. You are
    Kid Niki and you are armed with this sowrd that has been passed
    down by your forefathers at the ninja school. The sword is a spining
    sword, and makes enemys fly off the screen. You can get "BELLS"
    that let you either throw the sword (similar to the throwing of
    tthe sword on zelda) or gives you an orbiting crystal (like that
    on Kid Icarus) both of these are timed, as is the game. At the end
    of each level there is a "Boss". Each time they get harder, but
    there is a trick to get by each one. (I would be willing to tell
    anyone if they wanted to know) At the end of the seventh level you
    rescue the princess, but then it keeps going. For at least one more
    level (the level I can't get by) After you pass each level it shows
    you a map of where you are and how much you have left to go. In
    the various stages there are various terrains to over come, each
    uniquly different. The game is similar to SMB in that you go to
    the right of the screen and that you can't go back. There are also
    'half way points', like on SMB, where if you get by that and die,
    you start at that point.
    	As for recomending the game I am mixed, I like it but I am not
    sure others will. It seems awfully easy to clear, once you know
    the tricks. I guess you would have to try it for your self. I give
    it any where from a six to an eight.
    
    		An 8th level, but the book only says 7!
    				Pat..
    
    	Know I know what it means when people say, "Don't believe every
    thing you read."

    I have found some things that might be of interest to you.
    
    First of all, at the end of each level, after you beat the boss
    enemy, use your sword and slash the scroll before you touch it.
    It will turn into a coin, extra life or a white cloud (which serves
    no purpose).
    
    On level 2 climb the sixth tree(or the first tree in the second
    set of trees). Keep climbing and you will notice that you are climbing
    to the top of the tree. You will flash a couple of times then enter
    a room. Spin your sword everywhere in the room and scrolls will
    appear that turn into coins. Leave the room and you will be taken
    near the end of the level.
    
    On level 3 when you reach the beginning of round three-eight(3-8)
    you will be on a moving cloud. When the cloud goes up all the way
    jump after a few times the cloud will go up off the screen. Once
    all the way up continue along until you reach a mini-princess. Grab
    it and fall off the clouds.
    
    On level 4 . When you start off, go to the left near the edge of the
    screen. Duck down for a few seconds. If nothing happens you are
    probably in the wrong spot. Once accomplished your guy will flash
    and you will be taken to the beginning of an area with eggs on the
    ground. Jump on the eggs and some of them will crack revealing an
    extra life, scroll, or a centipede which you must kill. 
    At the end of that, you will be taken nearwhere poison bubbles float
    up in the water. When you reach the very beginning of round four-eleven
    (4-11) you will be on the edge of a rock. Jump three(3) times and
    the next rock will turn into a fish,then walk into it's mouth and
    you will walk through the fishes body then you will be near the
    boss character.
