Tanuki Justice is a run-and-gun platformer developed by Wonderboy Bobi, released in 2020 for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Players control a brother-and-sister tanuki duo navigating the varied environments and landscapes of feudal Japan, battling hundreds of enemies across intense, non-stop action sequences. Combat relies on standard shuriken throws for common foes and a larger shuriken for more formidable threats, with encounters escalating through numerous mini-bosses and bosses. The game supports both single-player and two-player cooperative modes, allowing a second player to join as the sibling character. Its design draws heavily from classic arcade games, reflected in the fast-paced, rhythmic chiptune-style soundtrack and high difficulty that tests even experienced players. A recurring constraint throughout is time pressure, which functions as a persistent threat. The visual style pairs detailed, colorful sprites with a distinctly sassy character aesthetic.
