Enter Charlie Ninja, a wild run-and-gun title developed by Mitchell Corporation and released in 1995.**\n\n### Mitchell, the Studio of Oddities\n\nMitchell Corporation is the Japanese studio behind Super Pang, Puzz Loop, and the cult classic Cannon Dancer — a company known for its original concepts and delightfully eccentric catalog. Charlie Ninja fits perfectly into that tradition: a side-scrolling two-player run-and-gun released exclusively in arcades, with no home console port ever made. The game never left Japanese arcades and remains one of the most obscure titles in Mitchell's library today.\n\n\n\n### Ninjas in the Wild West (and Beyond)\n\nPlayers take control of one of two available ninjas, hired to eliminate targets for profit across five stages with radically different themes. The visual style embraces a playful parody of American comic books and cartoons, complete with on-screen sound effects straight out of a comic strip. Enemies drop weapon power-ups, the player can temporarily turn invisible, and a range of special moves expands the arsenal. Each stage ends with a boss battle as bizarre as it is memorable.\n\n### The One Credit Challenge\n\nFive stages, a gallery of grotesque bosses, and a difficulty curve that ramps up quickly. Charlie Ninja can be cleared fairly easily when played straight through — at least until enemies start flooding the screen. Finishing it on a single credit requires composure and smart power-up management. Sharpen your ninja stars!\n\n### 🏆 Challenge Rules\n\nYour goal is to achieve the highest score on a single credit.\n\nThe challenge runs from June 1st to June 15th at 11:59 PM. You may attempt it as many times as you like.\n\n📢 How to Participate\n\n- Launch the game (ROM: charlien)\n- Play and try to beat the highest score\n- Take a screenshot or photo of your final score\n- Share your score on the [#challenges Discord channel](https://discord.com/channels/438014472049917953/1247992196007858249), including your username and score.\n\n\n\n### ⚖️ Rules to Follow\n\nTo ensure a fair competition:\n\nYour score must be achieved on a single credit, without save states, rewind, cheats, or auto-fire (unless the game itself provides it).\n\nGentlemen’s agreement: the use of glitches that artificially inflate scores is also prohibited.\n\n### 🎁 Rewards and Fair Play\n\nThe challenge is first and foremost about discovering games, sharing tips and tricks, and, of course, having fun — all while enjoying a healthy competitive spirit!\n\nThe winner will receive a game key (GOG, Steam, etc.) of their choice from a list of approximately 100 titles.\n\nIf you have won a challenge within the last three months, the prize will be awarded to the next eligible participant.\n\nYour ranking will be added to the One Credit Challenge leaderboard.\n\nThe Season 1 Champion will receive either a free RGB Dual 2 or a one-year Recalbox Patreon subscription.\n\nGood luck to everyone, and may the highest score win!\n\n\n \n \n

Place à Charlie Ninja, un run-and-gun déjanté signé Mitchell Corporation, sorti en 1995.**\n\n### Mitchell, le studio des curiosités\n\nMitchell Corporation, c'est le studio japonais derrière Super Pang, Puzz Loop et le culte Cannon Dancer — une maison connue pour ses concepts originaux et son catalogue volontiers excentrique. Charlie Ninja s'inscrit dans cette lignée : un run-and-gun en vue de côté à deux joueurs, exclusivement sorti en arcade, sans aucun portage sur console domestique. Le jeu n'a jamais quitté les salles d'arcade japonaises et demeure aujourd'hui l'un des titres les plus obscurs du catalogue Mitchell.\n\n  \n\n### Des ninjas au Far West (et ailleurs)\n\nLe joueur incarne un des deux ninjas disponibles et envoyés éliminer des cibles contre rémunération à travers cinq stages aux thèmes radicalement différents. Le style graphique s'affiche comme une parodie assumée des comic books et cartoons américains, avec des effets sonores écrits à l'écran façon bande dessinée. Les ennemis récupèrent des power-ups en armes, le personnage peut se rendre invisible temporairement, et des mouvements spéciaux viennent compléter l'arsenal. Chaque stage se conclut sur un boss aussi improbable que mémorable.\n\n### Le défi One Credit\n\nCinq stages, une galerie de boss grotesques et un niveau de difficulté qui monte vite. Charlie Ninja se boucle sans trop de mal en ligne droite — jusqu'à ce que les ennemis commencent à saturer l'écran. Le finir en un seul crédit demande sang-froid et une bonne gestion des power-ups. À vos étoiles de ninja.\n\n### 🏆Les règles du challenge\n\nVotre objectif sera de réaliser le meilleur score en un seul crédit.\nLe challenge se tient du 1er au 15 juin 23h59. Vous avez autant de tentatives que vous le souhaitez.\n\n📢 Comment participer ?\n\n- Lancez le jeu (rom : charlien) \n- Jouez et tentez de battre le meilleur score\n- Prenez une capture d’écran ou une photo de votre score final\n- Partagez votre score sur le [canal Discord #challenges](https://discord.com/channels/438014472049917953/1247992196007858249) en indiquant votre pseudo et votre score.\n\n  \n\n### ⚖️ Règles à respecter\n\nPour garantir l’équité du challenge :\n\nLe score doit être réalisé en un seul crédit, sans save state, rewind, cheats, ni auto-fire (sauf si prévu dans le jeu).\n\nGentlemen’s agreement : l’utilisation de glitchs permettant de gonfler artificiellement le score est également interdite\n\n\n### 🎁 Récompenses et fair-play\n\nLe challenge vise avant tout à découvrir des jeux, partager des astuces et, bien sûr, s’amuser, le tout dans un esprit de compétition toujours bienvenu !\n\nLe vainqueur remportera une clé de jeu (GOG, Steam, etc.) à choisir parmi une liste d’environ 100 titres.\nSi vous avez gagné un challenge dans les trois derniers mois, la récompense ira au suivant.\n\nVotre classement sera ajouté au tableau des scores du One Credit Challenge.\nLe champion de la première saison repartira au choix avec un RGB Dual 2 offert ou un an d’abonnement [Patreon Recalbox](https://www.recalbox.com/fr/patreon/).\n\nBonne chance à toutes et à tous, et que le meilleur score l’emporte !\n\n\n \n \n
