Squashed is a platform game starring Maru, the loveable ninja character. “Ninja Jajamaru: Ginga Daisakusen,” released in 1991 by Jaleco exclusively in Japan, is a notable platformer for the NES system that delivers a nostalgic gameplay experience reminiscent of “Super Mario Bros. 3.” Known in the US as “Squashed,” this version was completed but, unfortunately, never made it to the market, making the game a sought-after title among retro gaming enthusiasts.
