Ganryu is a side-scrolling cheat and cut action-platform mini game related to Shinobi and Strider where the users take control of either Miyamoto Musashi or Suzume through five stages set in Japan, where the main objective is to rescue Otsu from an evil guild of ninja servants led by a resurrected Sasaki Kojirō, the main antagonist of the mini game, along with one of his creations that act as a boss at the end of the scene in order to progress further through the mini game. Each of the two playable heroes have their own advantages and disadvantages that comes into result during video test, with Musashi being the strongest but least agile while Suzume is the most versatile but least strongest respectively. In addition to the regular single-player campaign, there is also an alternating two user mode, where two people can play through the mini game by taking turns after one of the users die. All of the levels featured in the mini game, although linear in nature, are really big and populated with obstacles and opponents which involve the users on traversing them by jumping and running while slashing and dodging opponents that roam around the playfield. The stages also feature multiple hidden rooms and routes to discover, encouraging the user to discover them in order to search hostages that grants different rewards for the effort, such as onigiri or takoyaki which restores health, or ryō currency to keep additional points. Stuff and extra sub-weapons are also scattered in treasure chests across the scene to be collected. If users sustain too much hurt, their user hero is killed after the health bar is completely depleted and respawns on a checkpoint place but once all lives are lost, the mini game is over unless the user insert more credits to continue playing. Controlling the heroes is done with a joystick, which moves them left and right. Attacking opponents is performed by pressing the A button, while B makes the hero jump and C activates a grappling hook that let users to pull forward, swing onto the latched object as well as attack opponents at a distance. Users can also perform a jump kick move with the B button that not only attack opponents, but allows their hero to climb walls. By holding A, users can unleash a strong attack versus opponents after charging, however, it leaves them exposed to opponent attack.
