'''Charlie Ninja''' is a [http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7316 rather obscure] arcade game made in 1994 by Mitchell, of ''Pang'' fame. You control a pair of ninjas killing people in totally unrelated scenarios, such as the Wild West, a stadium and a haunted house/laboratory.

▲* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]] - It seems averted when you meet female enemies, cheerleaders. But then you kill them and they're exposed as [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Wholesome Crossdressers]]. No, screw that, Butt-Ugly Crossdressers.
▲* [[X Meets Y]] - ''[[Shinobi]]'' meets cartoons.
