Ganbare Goemon Kirakira Douchuu: Boku ga Dancer ni Natta Riyuu is the fourth installment of the classic Goemon series on the Super Famicom (SNES), released by Konami in 1995. This vibrant action-platformer takes Goemon, Ebisumaru, Sasuke, and Yae into space across different themed planets to rescue the kidnapped Wiseman and Impact. Each character travels to their own dedicated world, bringing their unique weapons and platforming mechanics to a mix of side-scrolling action, town exploration, and entertaining mini-games.
How to Play
The objective is to guide your character through action stages and towns, defeating enemies and bosses to clear each planet. In the browser emulator, the default SNES controls map the D-pad to the arrow keys. Use Z and X for your primary attacks and jumping (mapping to B and Y or A), while Enter and Shift serve as Start and Select to pause or open menus. Master each character’s specific attack range and traversal skills to survive.
Tips
- Use towns to upgrade your armor and buy recovery items like onigiri before tackling difficult action stages.
- Each character has a unique secondary ability (like Sasuke’s wall climbing or Yae’s mermaid transformation) essential for finding hidden routes and items on their respective planets.
- Keep an eye out for hidden mini-games scattered throughout the towns; they are not only fun but can reward you with extra coins (ryo) to spend on crucial upgrades.
