Super Ninja Kun (also known as Super Ninja Kid) was released in 1994 by Jaleco. It is based on the Ninja Kun games by UPL. The game's "story" (such as it is) is the standard save-the-princess plot. Traverse 9 Stages to defeat the evil Lord Dokuro.
The game has two settings for background music, "Main Music" and "Main Sounds" (labelled "Enhanced Music" and "Enhanced Sounds" in the English Fan Translation; it could also be what they're called in the Official English Translation by Inin Games and Strictly Limited Games, but I haven't found any footage of that version to confirm this).
Tracks 3 and 8 are the only background music that can be heard in-game if you select "Main Sounds" (which is oddly highlighted by default) in the Options Screen. Most of the playlist can only be heard in-game by highlighting "Main Music" on the Options Screen.
Track 4's name is taken from "Super Famicom Magazine Volume 22: New Game Sound Museum" (TIM-SFC22). It was originally called "NINZYA-KUN RETURNS". I gave it the proper spelling for this playlist.
The game's sound programmer was Hajime Uchida and the composer was Takahiro Ogata.
