Play Ganbare Goemon 2 - Kiteretsu Shougun Magginesu (Japan) Online

Konami released Ganbare Goemon 2: Kiteretsu Shougun Magginesu in 1993 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It arrived during a period when Japanese developers were experimenting with humor and genre blending, and this game stands out for its sheer unpredictability and charm.

You control Goemon and his companions through side scrolling stages, using a pipe to attack enemies and collecting coins to spend at shops. The main goal involves traveling across a map, entering towns and dungeons, and eventually confronting the mechanical shogun Magginesu. Signature mechanics include switching between characters with unique abilities, riding giant robot Impact for shooter style stages, and navigating multi screen areas filled with hidden items. The pacing is brisk, with moderate difficulty spikes in later levels. It feels like a joyful, absurd adventure that never takes itself seriously.
