Arcade Archives: Mr. Goemon

About this game

Arcade Archives: Mr. Goemon is a port of the action game Mr. Goemon. The player has to reach the goal by using various items while not getting caught by the enemies. This title is said to be the foundation of the Ganbare Goemon series which is the representative title for Konami at the time.

Mr. Goemon is a side-scrolling-platform game developed by Konami in 1986. Enemies charge and grab the character, ending his life unless the player jostles the control stick to break free. Later enemies also have projectile weapons that the player must dodge. They are defeated by throwing a found object at them or hitting them with an always-equipped pipe. Jumping on the enemies' heads will push them down a level or off the screen entirely. Levels feature either boss battles or a pile of gold bars at the end, worth various points depending on the level.
