One of the Best 2D Platformers on the N64

I first played this game in 2016 and loved it. I decided to give it another go as my old N64 memory pak finally died and I wanted to have a 100% save file for it.

I first played this game in 2016 and loved it. I decided to give it another go as my old N64 memory pak finally died and I wanted to have a 100% save file for it. Goemon's Great Adventure is a blast to play! The soundtrack is full of earworms, the level design with branching paths entices the player to come back to a stage to try and find all the secrets, and the later stages provide a good challenge for the more experienced players.

I only have a few gripes overall with my experience. The camera can sometimes screw you over, hiding an enemy offscreen that jerks into frame leaving the player without time to react. A few of the entry passes don't really provide a challenge so much as they just force the player through tedious or unclear objectives (the call center).

Other than that, I only have good things to say about this fantastic game. Getting 100% has been a lot of fun. Go play it if you're looking for an obscenely charming yet moderately difficult platformer!

It's been a while since I played this, so I'm really pleasantly surprised by the ramp in difficulty (not a huge spike, but also not braindead easy the whole time).

It's been a while since I played this, so I'm really pleasantly surprised by the ramp in difficulty (not a huge spike, but also not braindead easy the whole time). Finding the hidden entry passes using in-game hints is satisfying and gives you a reason to talk to everyone in the towns, which is doubly fun because some of the NPCs just spout nonsense. Boss stages are by far the most difficult levels thus far, although the bosses themselves I don't find too hard. Except for the Impact fights, that is, which I personally have a tough time with.

Just started playing this for the second time. My first playthrough was in 2016 after finding a cart for somewhere around $30 on ebay. It quickly became one of my favorite games of all time.

Just started playing this for the second time. My first playthrough was in 2016 after finding a cart for somewhere around $30 on ebay. It quickly became one of my favorite games of all time. I remember I got 100% with all exit passes and costumes. Going to attempt to do it again. So far I have 5 exit passes and I'm unbelievably excited to keep playing. This game has so much personality. Everything about it is amazing.

At one point I was going to check if it's possible to get all the Entry Passes before beating the game or if there's anything different in New Game Plus (Plasma Man hints that there's something, maybe he was just referring to the costumes you unlock).
