Yo! Noid (known in Japan as Kamen no Ninja Hanamaru) is a side-scrolling action platformer developed by Now Production and published by Capcom for the NES. In the US advergame version, players control Domino’s Pizza mascot The Noid across 14 New York City stages — using a yo-yo for combat and battling his doppelgänger Mr. Green, with card-based “pizza-eating contest” boss duels.
