===Special Abilities=== | |||
Ninja's special abilities are centered around his use of Ninjutsu. In ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', Ninja even replaces a few standard abilities with Ninjutsu skills. Rather than side-step, Ninja teleports from side to side, and instead of [[Ground Pound|ground-pounding]], Ninja will jump in the air and summon down a spiral of flames. He also makes use of doppelgangers when doing various swift motions while playing, such as dunking. His special move in this game is the [[Leaf Veil]], and he uses a summoning circle to alter the effects of his ball, quickly sending it towards the hoop. This leaves him an opening to vanish through a gust of leaves directly to his ball, guaranteeing him a swift dunk. | Ninja's special abilities are centered around his use of Ninjutsu.
