Play Ganbare Goemon 2 - Kiteretsu Shougun Mag Online
As you may have guessed from the number 2 in the title, this is the second SNES game in the popular blend of the adventure and jump and run genres which is the Goemon series. Again, you (and your partner, in 2 player mode) control Goemon, his friend Ebisu-Maru and, new to the bunch, robot Sasuke, through loads of action stages and villages. Another new feature comes with 3D boss fights, featuring the giant mech type robot called "Goemon Impact". System: snes

Ganbare Goemon 2: Kiteretsu Shogun Magginesu (Japanese only release sequel to The Legend Of The Mystical Ninja) I picked it up and have not put it down since. This game is Konami at there best, so much crazy stuff in this game, really a step up from the first in every way. Also the game can be played without knowing any Japanese, all you need to know is the third option in the Inn saves your game.

"Kiterestu Shougun Magginesu", or "The Mysterious General Magginesu", takes Goemon straight into platformer territory. You move around levels via a world map stage select (similar to Super Mario World), with some occasional towns to shop in. The character sprites have been enlarged, and while they look fantastic, it makes the game feel a little bit awkward (similar to Mega Man 7.) This is where the series developed the unique art style that's been used in almost every game afterwards. There are three playable characters - Goemon and Ebisumaru are back, with Sasuke the clockwork ninja making his first appearance. Each character has their own unique attacks, although you can't switch between them ingame - you'll have to reset the console. Goemon 2 also serves as the introduction to the legendary Goemon Impact. You begin each Impact battle by running through the country-side, smashing into buildings and jumping over plateaus in order to gain energy. When you finally reach the boss, you're given a cockpit view of the action. You can't move in these segments - all you do is guard against enemy attacks and attack when they drop their defenses. They can get very hard until you get the hang of them, but they play sort of like Super Punch-Out, except with lots of nifty Mode 7 effects.

In a not-so-subtle allusion to Matthew Perry's visit to Japan in the 19th century, Ganbare Goemon 2 feature a general from the West known has Magginesu, who has invaded the country with his army of bunny men. He wants to shape Japan with his own foreign ways, and it's up to Goemon and gang to stop him. Sasuke is introduced for the first time here, as well as several goofy vehicles - including mouse cars, sumo mechs and robotic fish. There are the usual assortment of mini-games, the coolest being a level from the arcade shooter Xexex. Considering the game was never ported to a console, it's a real treat to be able to play some of it, even if the slowdown is horrendous. Although the game is a little bit on the easy side compared to the other Goemon games, it has some great moments, especially the kitchen and ski resort levels.
