Gameplay-wise, ''Sega Ninja'' follows the usual style of RunAndGun-style arcade games popular back then (despite being set in an era before guns existed), with the titular heroine chucking shurikens and knives - of which she seems to carry an infinite amount - at various foes. Sega would adopt the template for ''VideoGame/IkariWarriors'' a year later, and the rest is history.

* MartialArtistsAreAlwaysBarefoot: Princess Kurumi goes barefoot once she reveal herself as a ninja in the opening scene, continues on for the rest of the game fighting her way back to the castle. It's not that obvious in the game itself, but it's more evident in the cover art and official posters. Interestingly, she might be the only character barefoot while other enemy ninjas wear sandals with full body ninja suits.

* LighterAndSofter: Despite being a ninja-themed game where shurikens, kunai and knives are used and Princess Kurumi easily slaughtering mooks by the dozens, the game runs entirely on BloodlessCarnage, with enemies simply blinking out of existence.
