2 years on and I have a screenshot!

Hello!

A couple years ago I was on here asking for help on a missing game hunt, I was looking for the name of a game i'd played when I was younger, but long since lost the cartridge, and even the name of. It was a SNES game, and that's about all I could tell you about it, but no more! On a completely unrelated google image search I found an image of the game (most likely), the page that used it named the file 01.jpg, and did not mention what it was at all.

I'm desperately hoping that one of you could do better with the image and identify it...

I got this game at a flea market for 7 bucks years ago. It's like a funny ninja version of river city ransom kind of.

Goemon's Great Adventure is my God, and I shall glorify it with repeated painful deaths.

It's also available for download on the Wii Virtual Console for 800 points ($8 USD) I used to play the first level of Gradius over and over at the carnival stage.
