How to Play Ganso!! Yancha Maru
Quick start
Practise A jumps and B sword attacks on the first safe stretch, with down to crouch. When a shuriken is stocked, the same B attack also throws it. Wait for an enemy's approach before committing to a short-range swing, and jump from a position that leaves room to land without touching the next foe.
Controls
←/→: move; ↓: crouch; A: jump; B: spinning close attack; stocked shuriken thrown together.
Ganso!! Yancha Maru — About this game
Ganso!! Yancha Maru mixes a spinning close-range weapon with precise platform jumps. A collected shuriken flies with the normal attack, but the sword's own reach still matters when an enemy closes in. Contact can cost a life immediately, so read the next landing before swinging at a threat. Coins and bonus opportunities reward a detour only when you can return safely; a carefully timed crouch or jump can preserve more progress than another risky attack.
