Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 3 - Taiketsu! Zouringen

The third in the adventures of a young samurai, released only in Japan. The graphics and music have improved since the first two parts, and the gameplay is more varied. Once again, the hero must rescue his girlfriend from captivity. This time he uses a baton. The arsenal of techniques is astonishing: not only can you hit enemies with the staff, but you can also slide along the wall while resting on it, push away from the wall and jump on enemies from above. There is also a roll (down+jump). Once you have collected 20 grains on the level, you will reach the prize stage. You have to burst three balls in this order: red-grey-white (1 life), white-red-grey (+50% defence) or grey-white-red (+50% attack). The game is not easy, and there are only a few continuations.
