It was a platform game, and the main playable character was a short Asian guy (kid?), wearing an orange jumpsuit. IIRC, the second playable was a bald man in a blue robe.

Kid Ying and Dr. Yang were their American names. Quite possibly one of the best SNES games of all time. 🙂

Snes had a ton of great games. I had a lot of fun with it, but not sure if it beats super bomberman or secret of mana for multiplayer awesomeness.

Bomber man definitely had more longevity, but I played mystical ninja for HUNDREDS of hours in my youth. Easily one of my favorites, even if it isn’t objectively one of the best games!

That’s it! Although I see that my recollection of it was slightly off. Thanks.
