''Yo! Noid'' is a [[PlatformGame platforming]] video game for the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem, released in 1990. It was developed by NOW Production for Creator/{{Capcom}}. The plot involves Advertising/TheNoid, the mascot of Domino's Pizza, heading through UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity stopping wild creatures led by the mysterious "Mr. Green". The Noid uses his yo-yo weapon to thwart enemies. At the end of every other level, you participated in a "pizza eating" contest with another Noid, with the winner being the character who filled their pizza meter the fastest.
Besides being an obvious bit of [[ProductPlacement/VideoGames product placement for Domino's]], the other curious aspect to this title is that it's actually a DolledUpInstallment of a UsefulNotes/{{Famicom}} game, ''Kamen no Ninja Hanamaru''. In that game, you played a ninja who, instead of a yo-yo, flung his bird at enemies. The pizza eating contests were originally traditional battles but played out in the same card-battle format. And the setting and story was completely different, with kids going missing from Fun Island and Hanamaru having to find them and stop who's behind it.
