Surf Ninjas seemed like it should’ve been made two years prior with Pauly Shore (they have Rob Schneider in full Pauly Shore mode – just check that awful orange hair). I remember thinking it was pretty bad as a kid, but also being enamored by the concept of manipulating the real world with the kid’s Game Gear.
The problem is the Game Gear was a pain in the ass. I never would’ve brought it along on an adventure because it eats through batteries like an asshole (and there were never enough remote controls to harvest batteries from), it’s heavy and cumbersome, and you know that fucking battery plate is going to fall off and go missing. Also, I only had like, Sonic 2 and True Romance for a long time, and I didn’t care much for either. I would’ve brought my GameBoy. Fuck your Game Gear, kid.
Somebody in the Discord once said, “Surf Ninjas Must Die”. I don’t remember who that was, but that would’ve been an excellent title for a sequel. Or even better, a Troma crossover.
(I’ve never been able to disassociate The Beach Boy’s Barbara Ann from Surf Ninjas).
The first 3 Ninjas is bitchin’, man.
Is the Kids Learning Martial Arts and Foiling Scumbags genre dead?
