1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Has a pretty catchy soundtrack, the boss theme in particular stands out.
2%%* CultClassic
3* DemonicSpiders: The pink mobster dogs have an annoyingly dangerous bite move that they can use at any range, and it can hurt a lot. Thankfully, you can smack them out of it.
4* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
5** After beating the boss of Florida, the cyborg scientist alligator, he becomes a bag. Also, the boss of the Chicago stage, a shotgun-toting mobster dog who wears a coat lined with knives, ends up getting smashed into one of the casks of wine in the background of the area you fight him in.
6** The Ghost Buffalo, a giant monster made out of animated household objects and arguably one of the toughest bosses of the game, lets out a cartoony yelp every time it gets knocked down.
7** The baseball bats holding baseball bats. While that alone is funny, they have a moment where a wave of them are preparing to strike... and dynamite blows them all up.
8** The Windy Plane bawling when it's about to be beaten.
9** When some enemies die, classical music plays.
10* GameBreaker: The special combo attacks that the playable characters can use either via Street Fighter-esque button combinations, or by grabbing an enemy and hitting both the attack and jump buttons at the same time. They have massive priority (which means that enemy attacks won't stop them from being performed) and do tons of damage, enough to demolish bosses with only a few uses. Ryno/Green and Roger/Yellow, in particular, have access to the Inazuma Kick, the Dive Kick and the Foil Buster, respectively. Inazuma Kick is an attack that not only hits knocked down opponents, most of the time it can be used several times in a row, and dive kick (Attack + Jump during a jump, then Up, Down, Jump) covers the bases when Inazuma Kick fails. Meet Twinbats Ryno, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fvh0hYFzMro a ninja who could conquer the world with his Inazuma kick alone!]] Roger's Foil Buster (360ยบ + Jump) works as both an effective attack on its own AND as a combo finisher. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7dPB3O6gfs Replay Burners demonstrates how Roger DESTROYS the competition by putting Haggar and Zangief to shame]].
11* GoddamnedBats:
12** The submarine enemies with drill things on their heads and their pink electric variant. They have an rapid-hitting attack that is just slightly longer than your range, and tend to swarm you all over. Plus, the noise their rapid attack makes if it connects is very annoying.
13** The bombs that can latch on you. They can die to any attack, but [[GlassCannon their explosions hurt]], and you will be distracted by them while stronger enemies try to kill you.
14* HilariousInHindsight:
15** The name of the game, "Ninja Baseball Bat Man". [[Anime/{{BatmanNinja}} Fast forward to 2018...]] and [[WesternAnimation/BatmanVsTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles 2019...]]
16** On a more related note: This game revolves around a team of [[{{Sentai}} Sentai-like]] baseball-themed ninjas. [[Series/NinpuuSentaiHurricaneger Fast foward to 2002, and there came another baseball-themed Sentai ninja]].
17* ThatOneBoss: Ghost Buffalo the boss of the Texas stage due to its strange and unpredictable attack pattern, so until you find out that there's a safe spot where the boss can't touch you with all but one of its attacks (the fireballs). This makes it a lot easier to hide from it when it's attacking.
18* VindicatedByHistory: Thanks to increased media exposure over the years as well as UsefulNotes/{{MAME}}, the game gained more popularity than the arcade game's initial release.
