[pwnocchio]

So, in japan that game was called Kamen no Ninja Hanamaru....anddddddddddd I want it!

Anyone got one for sale?

Nope they are not the same game. Its close but all the sprite levels and characters are changed. The closest game I can think of that is like this is Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario USA Or Super Mario 2 those 2 are basically the same game but again they are not the same game.
Yes looks like a fun game I will have to pop it in and give it a shot. Sorry not selling my copy right now so your best bet would be to try yahoo auctions japan or ebay.

The gameplay changes from Hanamaru/Yo! Noid are very subtle and few. I've beaten both versions many times, and as far as I've concluded, the only true gameplay differences are that the auto-scrolling platformer layout in the 2nd to final stage is slightly different between the versions, and Yo! Noid is more generous with the items in the last stage, making the end-boss a bit easier. Besides that, the differences are superficial, but very noticeable. Anyway, yeah, it's a great game, and I hope you find it soon.
