Play Goemon's Great Adventure Online

Konami released Goemon's Great Adventure for the Nintendo 64 in 1998, a time when 3D platformers were becoming the standard. This game stood out by sticking to a 2.5D side-scrolling perspective, offering a different kind of adventure on the console. It was a direct sequel to Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, continuing the quirky, Japanese folklore-inspired antics of the series.

You control either Goemon or his friend Ebisumaru, navigating the world screen by screen. Your main goal is to recover the stolen cosmic blocks to prevent the world's destruction. You use a pipe to whack enemies and a bow for ranged attacks, switching between them as the situation demands. The game mixes traditional platforming with sections where you pilot a giant robot, Impact, for bombastic boss fights. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty can be surprisingly sharp, especially in the later stages. It feels like a lively, chaotic journey through a vibrant world that never takes itself too seriously.
