The Noid was a red-suited mascot in Domino's Pizza commercials, and in 1990 Capcom turned him into an NES hero. The game was not built from scratch: it is a reworked version of the Japanese Famicom game Kamen no Ninja Hanamaru, with the ninja replaced by the Noid, set in New York City.
The Noid uses a yo-yo as his main weapon and collects magic scrolls that unleash screen-clearing attacks. Stages are mostly short, mixing ordinary platforming with a few vehicle and gimmick sections. Instead of traditional boss fights, the stages end in a pizza-eating contest played as a card game against the opponent, using pizzas collected during the level. The concept is strange enough to be remembered, but the platforming is competent, a reminder that Capcom put real effort into even its most unusual licenses.
Tips for Yo! Noid
Collect pizzas in each level, because they act as your hand in the pizza contest at the end.
Save magic scrolls for difficult sections with many enemies.
Some stages are timed, so do not wander too far looking for items.
