Item Description

A cross-dressing nun steals an old inventor's resurrection machine so she can revive the prince of the underworld and marry him. That is the plot of Goemon's Great Adventure, and it tells you everything about the cheerful lunacy of Konami's Ganbare Goemon series. Known in Europe as Mystical Ninja 2 Starring Goemon, this second N64 outing set aside the free-roaming 3D of Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for something the series had always done brilliantly: side-scrolling action. Nintendo Power hailed it as a sidescroller done right for the N64, and it is hard to argue.

The stages are built in full 3D, curving into the background and bending around corners, but the action stays on a two-dimensional path, a look that was striking in 1999 and keeps the platforming tight. Four heroes are playable, each with a distinct toolkit. Goemon jumps highest and fights with his pipe and thrown coins. Ebisumaru swings a decorative paddle, turns enemies to stone with a megaphone and, inevitably, weaponizes his stomach gas. Yae carries a bazooka and transforms into a mermaid for underwater stretches, while the mechanical ninja Sasuke is fast and handy with shuriken and bombs. A world map links towns and dungeons, and you earn the entry passes that open each dungeon by clearing stages and running errands for the locals.

The real draw is two-player co-op. A friend can join for the adventure on a shared screen, and because both players have to stay in view, every jump becomes a negotiation, the kind of laugh-out-loud teamwork that is rare in the N64 library. Then there is Impact, Goemon's giant robot ally. The Impact battles put you in charge of towering mechs to punch, kick, grab and fire at enemy machines, and this time Lady Impact joins in: land a thrown baton on the target and control switches to the other robot.

Reviewers loved its graphics, music and co-op, with the mermaid controls drawing most of the grumbles. Its feudal-Japan setting, absurd humor and catchy score give it a personality nothing else on the console shares, and with the Goemon series reaching Western players so rarely, this is the N64 Goemon to reach for when a second controller is plugged in and you want a co-op platformer with real character.
