Shounen Ashibe: Goma-chan no Yuuenchi Daibouken is a 1992 platformer developed by Takara for the Super Famicom, based on the classic anime series. Rather than standard action, the game splits its time between a top-down overworld where you control Ashibe to explore the amusement park, and side-scrolling stages where you play as the lovable seal, Goma-chan. The overall goal is to complete stages to gather four special colored gems required to unlock the final castle level.
How to Play
Inside the action stages, your main objective as Goma-chan is to locate and collect eight specific items to clear the level. Goma-chan cannot take traditional damage from enemies; however, colliding with an enemy will cause you to drop one of your collected items, which you will then have to recover.
Default Controls:
- Move: Arrow Keys (D-Pad)
- Jump: Z (B)
- Dive: A (Y)
- Action/Select: X (A)
- Start/Pause: Enter
- Select: Shift
Tips
- Goma-chan’s dive maneuver (A key) is not just an attack, but the fastest form of movement for clearing gaps and keeping up momentum.
- Use Ashibe in the overworld to speak with NPCs, as they will provide the challenges necessary to earn the four colored gems needed for the finale.
