Play Ganbare Goemon - Mononoke Douchuu Tobisuise Nabebugyou! (Japan) Online

Konami released Ganbare Goemon: Mononoke Douchuu Tobisuise Nabebugyou! for the Game Boy Color in 1999. It was one of the later Goemon games on the system, arriving when the handheld was already well established. The game carries the series' distinct style into a portable format, blending Japanese folklore with lighthearted action.

You control either Goemon or Ebisumaru, navigating haunted villages and temples screen by screen. Your main goal is to exorcise yokai, or Japanese spirits, using Goemon's pipe or Ebisumaru's shuriken. Combat is straightforward but requires timing, especially against enemies like umbrella ghosts that float unpredictably. You also use a tanuki transformation to jump higher and access hidden areas. The pacing is brisk, with moderate difficulty that spikes in later stages. It feels like a compact, quirky adventure that fits well in your pocket.
