What games do most people think of when they hear the name "Konami?" Castlevania? Metal Gear? Contra? How about Ganbare Goemon? No? Well, you're not alone.Ganbare Goemon (known as Mystical Ninja in western countries) is a long-running series of video games by Konami that began in 1986 with the release of Mr. Goemon for the arcade. The plots revolve around the chivalrous thief Goemon and his friends Ebisumaru, Sasuke, and Yae as they set out to defeat whatever zany villain is threatening Japan (or the universe) at the time. Surreal Humor ensues.While Western gamers are largely unfamiliar with the series, it's actually one of Konami's biggest Cash Cow Franchises in Japan, having spawned numerous games (but also some manga, a few anime, and loads of merchandise) since its debut. But if the games are so popular, then why aren't more of them released in English?Cultural barriers, mostly. One of Ganbare Goemon's biggest draws is its bizarre brand of uniquely Japanese humor that makes translation difficult. Within you'll find many oddities such as time-traveling transvestite nuns, bunny-obsessed shoguns, and suicidal sportsmen. There are also many anachronistic elements (such as giant robots) that really have no place in Edo-period Japan. It's all so absurd that you'll just have to experience it for yourself.Though the series has remained dormant in later years, it has recently gained a spiritual successor in the form of Otogi Katsugeki Mameda no Bakeru: Oracle Saitarou no Sainan!!, a Japanese-exclusive title made for the Nintendo Switch and developed by Good-Feel, which comprises of several ex-Konami employees. | |

Forced Level-Grinding | |
| Ganbare Goemon (Video Game) / int_26a98394 | comment |
Forced Level-Grinding: Of sorts. Legend of the Mystical Ninja requires the player to buy a pass and a phrasebook at different points throughout the game, both of which are very expensive. If you don't have the money on hand already (which can easily happen if you Game Over in a new town before you reach the logbook, and don't feel like starting the previous level over again,) you either better be good at minigames or be ready to grind for money for a while. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Ganbare Goemon (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Early on in T�kai D�chū, Goemon has to free the Wise Man from imprisonment by brainwashed village cultists. In one of the cells, Neo Age Goemon (not depicted in the same Sumi-e art style as the rest of the NPCs) is held for copyright infringement. The two Famicom games and Legend of the Mystical Ninja has a severe case of Everything Trying to Kill You, as all of the villagers, cops, fishermen (and the fish they're holding) trying to kill you. Starting with Kiteretsu Sh�gun Magginesu, this is no longer the case, but if you hit someone, you'll be raided by an infinite army of cops, in a nod to the earlier games. T�kai D�chū even summons more powerful cops every time you clear enough of them, some being end-game enemies. But the cops won't react if you attack a thief, or some grandmas/old men (who are much more dangerous than cops). | |

Phlebotinum-Proof Robot: Episode 10 of the anime has Seppukumaru inventing a special powder that when exposed to it first makes the target skinny and then very fat, with even the heroes falling victim to it by eating cakes secretly laced with the stuff. The only ones unaffected by it are Sasuke and Impact due to the two of them being robots, until Seppukumaru eventually breaks out a modified version of the powder capable of affecting even them. | |

Attractive Bent-Gender: Inversion. In the end of Ganbare Goemon 2, Ebisumaru reveals that he is actually a beautiful young girl who was transformed into an ugly man by a jealous feudal lord. For some reason, he reverts back to his "ugly man" form in subsequent games, and the only reference to his 'true' gender afterwards is Ebisu from Shin Sedai Shūmei, who is a cute girl! | |

Buy or Get Lost: In the SNES game, the owner of the restaurant will get comically mad if you refuse to buy something to eat. The shop's theme is even called "Buy Something or Get Out!" | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Ganbare Goemon (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The anachronistic elements of the series wasn't introduced until Legend of the Mystical Ninja. Originally, Goemon himself was the only playable character; Ebisumaru would become playable in Ganbare Goemon 2 (as player 2), Yae in Gaiden, and Sasuke in Kiteretsu Sh�gun Magginesu. Until Gaiden, the artstyle of the series was Sengoku-esque, before becoming more cartoony later on. Between Mr. Goemon and Gaiden, Goemon's hair was brown/black instead of its usual blue. In the Gaiden games, Ebisumaru wears white instead of blue. In Gaiden, Yae's hair is black instead of green; in Legend of the Mystical Ninja, it's blue. The Humongous Mecha fights, a staple of the series, weren't featured until Impact's debut in Kiteretsu Sh�gun Magginesu. Also, in the Impact fights of said game, your health is slowly drained over time. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Ganbare Goemon (Video Game) / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: The games are already light on plot, so trimming the fat allowed Obi to expand upon some characters' roles — such as Omitsu in Legend of the Mystical Ninja and Impact in Ganbare Goemon 4 — and generally making things more interesting. | |

Implied Love Interest | |
| Ganbare Goemon (Video Game) / int_5fc3ab7f | comment |
Implied Love Interest: Konami hasn't revealed the true nature of Goemon and Omitsu's relationship, but they're obviously very close. This is possibly for the best, considering how popular it is to pair off Goemon with someone who isn't Omitsu - making them explicitly an Official Couple would definitely piss off a lot of shippers. | |

Ship Sinking | |
| Ganbare Goemon (Video Game) / int_67fe4b8e | comment |
Ship Sinking and Ship Tease: In Kuru Nara Koi, GoeYae fans are baited by an impending Medicine Kiss scenario, only for Yae to quickly pass the task on to an obliging Ebisumaru instead. Also, the post-game phone conversation in Goemon's Great Adventure has a branch leading to Yae lamenting about how she didn't know that Goemon and Omitsu were together, and she even admits that it's too late to do anything about it. Probably a reference to the fact that the Goemon/Omitsu couple was there before Yae came into existence, meaning it was too late for the creators to get them together even if they wanted to. Goemon had nightmares in the manga to make it clear that any romantic feelings he had for Omitsu were eliminated by the time Kiteretsu Shougun Magginesu occurred, perhaps even earlier if one takes the bonus chapter of Uchū Kaizoku Akogingu into account. There's another in Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon in which Omitsu guilt-trips him for treating her disappearance with apathy (even whipping out the manga itself as proof when he denies it). Ironically, the real Omitsu thanks Goemon for his concern when they meet again later on. | |

Improbable Weapon User: Goemon's trademark weapon is a kiseru, a type of Japanese smoking pipe. Ebisumaru's arsenal varies from game to game, and includes some conventional weapons such as hammers and shuriken, but he has had a few unusual weapons as well, including flutes, megaphones, hula hoops, and paper fans. | |

Marathon Level | |
| Ganbare Goemon (Video Game) / int_6dc206c9 | comment |
Marathon Level: The castle stages in Goemon's Great Adventure are much longer than each region's standard stages. While there are checkpoints, getting a game over means restarting the whole castle again (though beating the castle boss lets you return to the following Impact boss battle straight away if you game over on that). Dream Castle - the final castle in the game - is the logical conclusion to this, combining elements of the previous four castles, cranking up the difficulty on them enormously, and being even longer. | |

What the Hell, Player?: In Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, after rescuing the Lord and Princess Yuki in the Transformed Oedo Castle, the Lord asks you to investigate the Peach Mountain Shoguns, the main antagonists. You have the option of accepting or refusing the call. If you say "no", the Lord will comment on how he can't believe a hero like you would refuse his request, followed by the Laugh Track. If you keep refusing, the Lord will keep repeating the same line, but the Laugh Track will be replaced with disapproving groans. | |

Indirect Kiss | |
| Ganbare Goemon (Video Game) / int_a33ff511 | comment |
Indirect Kiss: Invoked in Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon. Ebisumaru states that he had his lips on Koryuta's Flute after Yae did, making it an indirect kiss. Goemon then assumes that kissing Ebisumaru would be like doing the same to Yae, and does so out of desperation. | |

Naked People Are Funny | |
| Ganbare Goemon (Video Game) / int_a58e5ad7 | comment |
Naked People Are Funny: The opening cutscene for Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon starts with Goemon and Ebisumaru being chased out of a store. Why? Because Ebisumaru stripped down to his fundoshi (But leaving his mask on) and tried a "Hypnotic Dance" in order to get a discount. The reason the game proper starts in Goemon's house is because Ebisumaru needed to get a change of clothes. | |

The Fat Episode | |
| Ganbare Goemon (Video Game) / int_a937a2e | comment |
The Fat Episode: Episode 10 of the anime has Seppukumaru developing a powder that turns the target skinny and then very fat when exposed to it. As a result, the entire city turns fat from having ingested it via spiked cakes, with even the heroes having been affected by it (minus Sasuke and Impact due to them being robots until a version of the powder capable of affecting them is made). Fortunately, defeating the villains' latest monster turns everyone back to normal. | |

| Ganbare Goemon (Video Game) / int_c3d60914 | comment |
Continuing is Painful: Continuing in Legend of the Mystical Ninja causes you to lose everything, including your money, power and max health (which you can't get back.) There are locations in town where you can write a logbook to save your progress and retain everything upon continuing, but if you die in the next town before getting to that place, you better be prepared to either start the previous level over again or give up everything to keep going. | |

Also, the post-game phone conversation in Goemon's Great Adventure has a branch leading to Yae lamenting about how she didn't know that Goemon and Omitsu were together, and she even admits that it's too late to do anything about it. Probably a reference to the fact that the Goemon/Omitsu couple was there before Yae came into existence, meaning it was too late for the creators to get them together even if they wanted to. | |

Ret-Canon: From the manga to the games, there's Yae's bazooka (Legend of the Mystical Ninja) and Ebisumaru Impact (Kiteretsu Sh�gun Magginesu). The concept of Obisumaru from Goemon's Great Adventure may have resulted from a panel in Legend of the Mystical Ninja in which Hiroshi Obi cosplays as Ebisumaru. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Ganbare Goemon (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The obligatory references to other Konami games. Simon Belmont was even a Guest-Star Party Member in Gaiden 2. In Legend of the Mystical Ninja, a kid mentioned his dad was trying to do a rain dance, but it "Ended up looking like a Michael Jackson dance." Yae's "Kirameki High School uniform" outfit, as well her Fur Bikini which makes her resemble Lum from Urusei Yatsura. In Goemon's Great Adventure, there's a sidequest in the Tree Stump Village involving a girl that wants to get rid of the crow tengus infesting the Wonder Valley. She asks you if you are the exterminator she hired, and then she corrects herself, saying that said exterminator mentioned something about wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses. Goemon's "Sudden Impact" ability makes his hair turn yellow and stand on end. Shishi Jūrokubē no Karakuri Manji-gatame has cameo appearances of Shiori Fujisaki and Pastel, as reception hostesses of the Tourist Centers. The official name of the Mokeke Forest theme from Goemon's Great Adventure is Tororo-kun is my Neighbor. Sparkster makes cameo appearance at the Circo Porto amusement park in Kiteretsu Sh�gun Magginesu. Sweah Castle in Boku ga Dancer ni Natta Riyuu features robot enemies that perform Power Waves, Power Geysers, Tornado Uppers, Shoryukens, and Sonic Booms (the Sonic Boom ones even have Guile's hair and green tank-top, in case there was any doubt). | |

The Nicknamer: Spring Breeze Dancin' in Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon immediately gives Goemon and Ebisumaru the nicknames of "Fernandez" and "Antonio," respectively. In the manga, Sasuke receives the less-dignified nickname of "Boingy." As Kitty Lily explains, Dancin' has a habit of, "choosing a new name for a person if he feels it better suits them". Which leads to this priceless exchange: | |

Kabuki Sounds | |
| Ganbare Goemon (Video Game) / int_e9859d0 | comment |
Kabuki Sounds: The series is generously peppered with all manner of Kabuki influences, such as Goemon's kumadori face paint and tendency to make mie poses. | |

Goldfish Poop Gang: If a villain has henchmen, chances are they'll be this. | |

Fourth-Wall Mail Slot: A recurring segment in Ganbare Goemon Fever had Goemon and Ebisumaru "modify" Sasuke based on schematics sent from readers. | |

Disc-One Final Dungeon | |
| Ganbare Goemon (Video Game) / int_f55a1990 | comment |
Disc-One Final Dungeon: Ryukyu Castle in Legend of the Mystical Ninja is long and hard as hell, and ends with Goemon and Ebisumaru finally rescuing Princess Yuki... only to find out that you fell into a trap set by the villains and get thrown in jail, and have to break out to traverse the real final dungeon and rescue her a second time. | |

Public Bathhouse Scene | |
| Ganbare Goemon (Video Game) / int_fa9288ad | comment |
Public Bathhouse Scene: In severa games, the player(s) can be healed by enjoying a bath in a sauna. If in Legend Of The Mystical Ninja they enter a sauna in two-player mode, Ebisumaru/Dr. Yang will fart. Also, in Ganbare Goemon 3, one dungeon has you drop into the girls' bathhouse. Bismaru and many girls will throw buckets at you, even if you're Yae. | |

One-Winged Angel | |
| Ganbare Goemon (Video Game) / int_fc33ff16 | comment |
One-Winged Angel: Interestingly, Dochuki from Goemon's Great Adventure is the only villain to have done this in the series' 23-year run. Technically, Kabuki did it as well. | |

Cherry Blossoms: Used for romantic symbolism in Kuru Nara Koi, when Dr. Yabu (revealed to be Mr. Ayashige) realizes he still loves his estranged wife and in the post-credits scene where Omitsu comes to forgive Goemon. | |

Video Game Cruelty Punishment | |
| Ganbare Goemon (Video Game) / int_fcd993bd | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Punishment: In Kiteretsu Sh�gun Magginesu and T�kai D�chū, a swarm of angry guards will appear if you harm innocent civilians. They can be defeated easily, but will continue to appear until you either die or leave the area (in the latter game, stronger versions will appear once enough are defeated). In earlier games, attacking the roving "bonus characters" (which included Omitsu and Princess Yuki) would result in a monetary penalty. Notably, this is after the first game in the 16-bit titles, Yuki-hime Kyūshutsu Emaki, tossed you into towns where Everything Is Trying to Kill You and you have to beat up entire villages for money and to survive. The sudden change of rules in the second game is lampshaded by having an early house NPC specifically try to warn you not to attack people randomly - after someone may have triggered the guards because they were used to the first game. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You | |
| Ganbare Goemon (Video Game) / int_ffd816e7 | comment |
The two Famicom games and Legend of the Mystical Ninja has a severe case of Everything Trying to Kill You, as all of the villagers, cops, fishermen (and the fish they're holding) trying to kill you. Starting with Kiteretsu Sh�gun Magginesu, this is no longer the case, but if you hit someone, you'll be raided by an infinite army of cops, in a nod to the earlier games. T�kai D�chū even summons more powerful cops every time you clear enough of them, some being end-game enemies. But the cops won't react if you attack a thief, or some grandmas/old men (who are much more dangerous than cops). | |
