Play Famicom Mini - Vol 20 - Ganbare Goemon! Karakuri Douchuu (J)(Hyperion) Online

Famicom Mini - Vol 20 - Ganbare Goemon! Karakuri Douchuu is one of those games that feels like stumbling into a weird, wonderful dream. You play as Goemon—this blue-haired dude who fights with a pipe and throws coins like they’re shurikens—and just sort of bumble through feudal Japan, hopping on rooftops, dodging traps, and occasionally getting into slapstick fights with giant robots or, uh, cats. Yeah, it’s that kind of game.

The levels are packed with little secrets—hidden doors, tricky jumps, and NPCs who say the most random things—so even if the controls feel a little stiff by modern standards, there’s always something to poke at. And the humor? Pure old-school Konami weirdness. One minute you’re fighting a sumo wrestler, the next you’re riding a giant mechanical tengu. It’s short, but the charm sticks with you. If you like your retro games with a side of absurdity, this one’s a blast.
