It is the third in the Worlds of Power series, novels based on Nintendo games made to capitalize on the systems popularity, featuring game hints and tips of dubious quality. Like other books in the series, the books was published under the author name of 'F.X. Nine' in order to have the book appear after "Nintendo" under the author name. The novelization features many changes to the story including changing both Ryu Hayabusa and Irene Lew's ages to 13 and adding some original characters such as Ryu's mother and Akira, Ryu's Ninja instructor.
