Trivia[]
The gameplay in this game is similar to Jump Super Stars/Jump Ultimate Stars. They are Japan-exclusive games that features many characters from the popular magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump. A few Naruto characters were included in them.
The spirit of Asuma Sarutobi appears whenever Shikamaru attacks with his trench knives.
Ironically, despite Fukasaku and Shima being playable characters, they still appear when Jiraiya goes into Sage Mode, although they appear much smaller than their playable appearances.
