'''Ninja''' is one of the five ''[[wikipedia:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy]]'' characters who first appears in the game ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'' for the [[Nintendo DS]], which was developed by [[Square Enix]], who also produced the entire ''Final Fantasy'' series of games. His traits and appearance are based on the Ninja job class from the ''Final Fantasy'' games. He is dressed in a red Ninja uniform, and his special abilities deal with Ninjutsu. Ninja has most recently appeared, again as a playable character, in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'' for the [[Wii]] (which was also developed by Square Enix).  

Ninja makes his debut appearance for the Mario series in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]''. Ninja is one of [[White Mage|f]][[Black Mage|i]][[Moogle|v]][[Cactuar|e]] Final Fantasy characters in the game, designed by [[Square Enix]]. He is unlocked by winning the Rainbow Tourney on the Normal difficulty. As his skill-set is based on his speed, grace, and power, he has an All-Around playing style. Ninja's [[Special Shot]] is the [[Leaf Veil]], which lets him use his Ninjutsu skills to shoot the ball towards the net, and he dashes through a veil of leaves to dunk the ball with precision. The Leaf Veil is activated by tapping a capital '''N''', for Ninja. By completing the Rainbow Tourney on the Hard difficulty setting and achieving a gold trophy, an alternate version of Ninja's attire is unlocked.

Ninja makes his second appearance in the Mario series in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''. Ninja appears with the original Final Fantasy characters from ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''. He maintains his playing style as an All-Around character. He is unlocked by beating one of the two Star Roads, located on the Star Cup Map. He also has an alternate outfit, called Shadow White, which is unlocked by playing as Ninja 20 times, by completing Star Road 4 times, or by finding him on the Flower Cup route. Even if the player is playing as Ninja during the Star Cup, a CPU Shadow White Ninja will still steal the trophy before the finals, and the player will challenge him alongside White Mage and Black Mage.
