Item Description

Goemon has always been the goofiest hero in feudal Japan, and his Game Boy adventure keeps that spirit intact. In Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, the kunoichi Yae has been kidnapped by the Black Ship Gang, a band of pirates led by Baron Skull, and Goemon sets out with his friends Ebisumaru and Sasuke to get her back. The chase runs through Karakuri Castle and the Demon Cave all the way to the gang's ship in Gull Harbor, with plenty of detours along the way.

Each of the three heroes plays differently. Goemon is the balanced all-rounder, Sasuke jumps the highest but throws less well, and Ebisumaru throws the farthest while being the least athletic of the trio. You walk, jump, attack and hurl weapons across five stages, each ending in a boss, and keeping your health topped up pays off, because at full hit points the heroes can unleash long-range special attacks. Between the action, the game mixes in puzzles, fetch quests and quizzes that reward bonus items, along with the kind of silly mini-games the series is known for. The soundtrack from Kaoru Okada, Yoichi Iwata and Rie Tanaka keeps the traditional Japanese flavor that runs through every Goemon game, and the cartridge supports the Super Game Boy.

Developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Nagoya and released in Japan as Ganbare Goemon: Kurofune Tō no Nazo, it shares its English title with the Nintendo 64 game from the same year but is a completely different adventure, closer in design to the Super Famicom's Ganbare Goemon 3. Reviewers at the time were split: Nintendo Power praised the size of the world and called the mini-games a blast, while finding backtracking through respawning enemies a chore.

Most of Goemon's long run of games never left Japan, so the handful that did carry extra weight with fans of Konami's quirkiest series. This one shrinks Goemon, Ebisumaru and Sasuke down to pocket size and sends them chasing pirates across an Edo full of jokes, quizzes and odd little side trips.
