''[cue opening credits]'' - [[ExcusePlot also what plot?]]
''Tanuki Justice'' is a {{retraux}} action game designed based on arcade RunAndGun-style platformers from the past, released for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch in 2021.
In an alternate version of Meiji-era Japan populated by [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals andromorphic animals]], an unnamed demon who wants to TakeOverTheWorld (how original) have unleashed his army into terrorizing the populace. It's up to the heroes, a pair of {{tanuki}} ninja siblings, to stop him.
Interestingly, this isn't the ''only'' video game with a tanuki ninja protagonist. Somehow.

!! ''Tanuki Justice'' contain examples of:
* OneUp: Extra lives can be collected occasionally in-game, though they're usually well-hidden until you reveal them by throwing shurikens on certain targets. They are represented by a small blue-and-white icon of your character.
* AirborneMooks: Giant birds are among the enemies you can encounter, from crows in the jungle to eagles near the waterfall, the latter capable of [[FeatherFlechettes shooting their feathers like darts]] as a ranged attack.
* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Oh ''yes''.
** For starters, the player 2 character and the sister of the heroic tanuki siblings is a ''pink'' tanuki.
** You fight a DualBoss pair of proboscis monkey which are coloured green and yellow. Meanwhile the lesser proboscis monkey mooks you battle early in the level are (correctly) white.
** You don't see many pink-feathered eagles in games, either.
* BattleAura: When your power level hits maximum after you achieved a number of combos, your character will emit a fiery flaming aura onscreen while your attack power doubles. It usually lasts only for a few seconds, though.
* BrotherSisterTeam: The main characters are a pair of tanuki siblings, one of each gender, battling the forces of evil. It's more pronounced in two player co-op mode.
* ClimbingClimax: The third stage have you climbing upwards a warefall by leaping from one platform to another, while avoiding falling objects, flying fishes popping out the water and other hazards before you reach it's very top to battle the giant tortoise boss.
* CreepyCentipedes: The boss of the graveyard level is a gigantic red centipede demon who attacks by popping in and out of the ground, and can even perform a DetachmentCombat by separating [[LosingYourHead it's head from the body]] while shooting projectiles from it's neck stump!
* DoubleJump: You gain this ability by default, and can jump while in mid-air to reach ledges. It comes ''really'' handy in one level where you must climb a waterfall.
* FightingPanda: Panda ninjas are another enemy in the game, one of them even serving as a boss who's a MirrorMatch against you.
* FlyingFace: This game have flying demon masks and flaming skulls as enemies which drains your life with a single touch, but are otherwise weak enough to be killed in one hit. The latter does have a GiantMook version that soaks up plenty of hits though.
* FlyingSeafoodSpecial: Flying fishes are another hazard in the waterfall climbing stage.
* {{Gashadokuro}}: You encounter gigantic skeleton enemies who [[BadWithTheBone fling bone projectiles]], two at a time, while making your way through the graveyard stage.
* GiantMook: The game have a few larger-than-usual mook-level enemies showing up, that requires multiple hits before they go down. Including purple-skinned Minotaurs, humoungous Gashadokuro foes, and flaming skeletal heads even larger than you (who's often accompanied by their smaller, regular mook counterparts).
* {{Kappa}}: While crossing bridges or on platforms above water, you'll be attacked by kappa enemies who pounces up from below.
* ManiacMonkeys: The second stage is set in a bamboo forest swarming with hostile Japanese proboscis monkeys who attacks in large numbers. Much of the level have you leaping around platforms on treetops while being assailed by these simians, and at the stage's end you fight a DualBoss KingMook consisting of two gigantic monkey enemies.
* MegaNeko: The first boss is an andromorphic cat MagicKnight who attacks by creating energy projectiles [[ShapingYourAttacks shaped like ghostly cat-heads]].
* MirrorMatch: While most of the bosses are larger than you (in the case of the giant turtle, a ''kaiju'' taking up more than half the arena), near the end you fight the Panda Ninja boss, who's the same size as your tanuki protagonist, and spams shuriken projectiles just like you.
* {{Ninja}}: The most common and basic enemy type, by default. They appear to be tanukis as well, like your player characters.
* OurMinotaursAreDifferent: Purple-skinned Minotaurs appears occasionally as enemies, who can deliver a ShockwaveStomp sending a row of ground explosions you need to jump over to avoid damage.
* PowerFloats: The Demon Lord in his first form floats all over the place while summoning pillars of flames from the ground as an attack.
* RunOrDie: When the big SandWorm suddenly pops out at the start of the third level? Jump down the hole and keep going down. Or else.
* {{Samurai}}: Andromorphic dog samurai enemies appears early in the game as one fo the first enemies that takes multiple hits to kill. They also have the ability to launch {{Sword Beam}}s with their katana.
* SandWorm: The third level, set in an underground cavern, begins with a ''gigantic'' sandworm (whose lead literally takes up half the screen!) trying to devour you as you escape down a hole. You face smaller sandworms after escaping the big one (implied to be offspringsw of the first), but while they're content with minding their own business without attacking you, they're still immune to all your attacks.
* SequentialBoss: The unnamed Demon Lord who leads the forces of evil, serving as the FinalBoss, first fights you in a humanoid form (albeit one who can float all over the place and cast attacking spells). Defeat him and... you enter another realm where the Demon Lord returns as [[TheGreatSerpent a gigantic serpentine monster]] who can summon projectiles from above and below you. The second stage doesn't have floors either, containing only widely-spaced platforms and you die instantly by missing a step.
* SpreadShot: You can collect a power-up that turn your flung shuriken projectiles into spreads of three or more at a time. Aside that, yellow ninja enemies are the only ones who can throw projectiles in a spread.
* {{Tanuki}}: Your characters are a pair of andfromorphic tanuki siblings fighting the forces of evil. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The title kind of spells it out though]].
* {{Tengu}}: A winged tengu shows up halfway in the second stage as a MiniBoss, attacking with his ability to [[BlowYouAway summon tornadoes from the ground]] as he glides all over the place. However he goes down in just a handful of shuriken hits.
* TurtlePower: The boss of the waterfall stage is a giant turtle you fought after climbing up the falls. It's a massive BackgroundBoss only vulnerable in the head, and you fling shurikens at it while jumping between platforms to avoid it's attacks.
