Japanese scrolling NES game with 3 playable characters

Question

I'm looking for an adventure game in Japanese, scrolling (left to right) action with 3 main characters:

  • a black cowboy with a long-range gun
  • a woman in a white shirt with black pants and a close-range sword with superior attack power
  • a guy with green clothes and black pants with a short-range gun who can use items picked up by any character (bombs, machine gun, etc).

If any character gets hit, he/she will be unavailable. We must save he/she first before we can use him again by entering a room where he was tied.

The first stage involved running, jumping and sliding over rooftops followed by entering a mansion and fighting the "robo" (first boss). The second stage is in Chinatown with a lot of houses that we can enter. The fourth stage is Egypt.

Answer

The game is Lupin Sansei: Pandora no Isan ("Lupin the 3rd: Legacy of Pandora"). Screenshot of Stage 1, Rooftop, Courtesy of StrategyWiki
