About Ninja JaJaMaru: The Great Yokai Battle + Hell
Ninja JaJaMaru: The Great Yokai Battle + Hell expands the classic series with new ninjas, a roster of over 20 playable characters, and a larger variety of yokai enemies. Players move, jump and attack to clear stages while managing health gauges for both hero and foes.
The title offers single‑player, shared‑screen two‑player co‑op, online high‑score ranking, and an unlockable Hell Mode that adds unseen stages and tougher monsters. Collecting Jalecoins, experience items and power‑ups fuels character growth and unlocks extra content such as songs and documents.
01 / THE GUIDE
Playable Characters
More than 20 heroes are selectable, including JaJaMaru, Blue JaJa and their upgraded forms Super JaJaMaru and Super Blue JaJa. Each character is described as having different powers and characteristics, giving distinct play experiences.
The game lets players unlock additional characters by exchanging Jalecoins, which are collected during Normal Mode. This system encourages trying multiple heroes to discover preferred abilities.
- Swap characters after unlocking a few to compare how each power set handles enemy patterns.
- Check the Jalecoins count before starting a stage to gauge which new heroes you can unlock.
02 / THE GUIDE
Game Modes
Normal Mode provides the core stages where players defeat yokai and gather Jalecoins. Meeting the conditions in this mode unlocks Hell Mode, which introduces stages that have not appeared before and tougher monsters.
A two‑player mode allows simultaneous play on a shared screen, and an online ranking records high scores for competitive comparison.
- Finish Normal stages while tracking Jalecoins to know when Hell Mode becomes available.
- Use the shared screen co‑op to coordinate attacks and cover each other's weaknesses.

Power‑Ups and Ninjutsu
Defeating yokai drops experience items and power‑up items such as Invisible Potions and the Minecart, which let players plow through enemies. Collecting scrolls triggers ninjutsu actions like flood and fire attacks.
When ninjutsu is activated, the Ninpo Gama Pakkun triggers fever time, allowing the player to swallow stunned enemies.
- Gather scrolls before large enemy waves to maximize ninjutsu impact.
- Try the Minecart power‑up in dense sections to see how it affects crowd control.
04 / THE GUIDE
Collectibles
Jalecoins appear throughout Normal Mode and can be exchanged for new characters, songs, or game documents. The description notes that old BGMs and new arrangements become available through this system.
Experience items dropped by yokai contribute to character growth, encouraging players to defeat as many enemies as possible.
- Prioritize routes with visible Jalecoins to increase unlocking potential.
- Defeat every yokai you encounter to collect more experience items for growth.
05 / THE GUIDE
Progression and Health
Characters level up by collecting experience items; when Super JaJaMaru levels up it becomes a power type, while Super Blue JaJa evolves into a long‑range shooting type. This change alters how each hero handles combat.
Both player and yokai have health gauges; the stage ends when the player’s health is depleted, resulting in game over.
- Watch the health gauge closely; staying alive lets you reach higher levels.
- Compare the power‑type versus long‑range type to see which fits your approach.
