1: Introduction
On each level Goemon must collect three passes to leave each town. Each is either underground,
in a store or in a dungeon which Goemon must get through to find. Also at the end of some
levels Goemon must fight a boss. The price of items rises with each passing level, so be
careful. Buy armor and some Red Tags to protect yourself on the later levels!
2: Characters
The cast just consists of Goemon and Ebisumaru;
Goemon is the grumpy guy in red, and Ebisumaru is the fat guy in blue.
3: Game Over?
The game over sequence in Ganbare Goemon 2 is bizarre! When Goemon (or Ebisumaru) dies, they
get sent straight to hell. You see that Goemon is tied up and suspended over a boiling cauldron,
and a nasty monster is licking it's ugly lips waiting for Goemon to be lowered into the pot
and be boiled alive! What you have to do is repeatedly hit A and B as fast as you can to lift
Goemon AWAY from the pot so that you can go back to Edo.
You have to do this in a time limit, otherwise Goemon stays in hell forever!
You can tell your character is safe when the bar on the right is filled completely. You
restart the level you were on with the amount of passes you had collected. However after being
sent to hell 3 times, the game is over. You can choose to restart the level with no passes and
money or you can quit.
A FINAL WARNING ABOUT THE GUARDIANS!
The guardians are these statues wearing a red scarf; they should be left alone.
THE CONSEQUENCES FOR ATTACKNG THESE STATUES IS TO BE SENT TO HELL.
If you get stuck in hell, just follow the section below about hell.

6: The Walkthrough!
STAGE 1: Jailbreak (Courtesy of Goemon and Ebisumaru)
When the intro has finished you will find yourself just outside your cell, so down the
passageway and you will go into the next prison section. Go right, then downwards and you will
now be out in the streets. Go downwards into the housing area, and then at the end of the
houses go up back to the area on the other side of the Prison. Go in the Red-curtained building,
and you will be in a platforming section where you must climb a tower, so climb the tower.
Go in the door at the top and you will enter the prison warden's house.
Go right and go in the orange curtain to face a boss (SEE BOSS SECTION FOR THIS!)
STAGE 2: Chugoku
Here's how to get the three passes for this level.
Pass 1: Go upward to the upper section of town and in the first shop you see, buy the candle
for 90 coins. Now go left and you will see some stairs. Go down into tunnels and get the pass
Head right to exit the tunnel.
Pass 2: From where you surface from the tunnels where you got Pass 1, go left back to the start
of the level. When you reach the start, you will see some stairs (IF YOUR CANDLE HAS NOT RUN
OUT). Go down the stairs into another tunnel, get the pass and exit on the right.
Pass 3: From where you exit the tunnel where you got pass 2, go right avoiding enemies and
rocks, until you come to the end of the road. Go into the red curtain into the shop and buy
the last pass on sale for 300 Ryo, and then go back out and head down. Go right to the gate
and exit.
STAGE 3: Forest Lake Town
Pass 1: If you still have a candle you will see some stairs as soon as you start the level,
if not, then jump forward and the stairs will appear. Go down to get the pass and head right
to exit to the surface.
Pass 2: From where you exit from the tunnel, go left avoiding the crabs and not falling in the
lake. Keep going and then go down into town section. There is a shop along here selling one of
the passes.
Pass 3: From Pass 2 go left and then up you will come to a bridge section, so go up the bridge
and into a new town section. Now go left then up, and you will now be at a long staircase.
Go up the staircase at the top are some shops, one of which is selling the last pass.
Buy it, go back down into town, head right, then down and to the exit area.
Now here is where the game gets really Hard!
STAGE 4: Regal Town.
Pass 1: At the first up path , go up, and you will be on a forest path. Head up, and you will
see a cave, so go in for a dungeon, find the pass inside then exit.
Pass 2: From the dungeon go up, then acrss, then down again into another forest section
go down untill you see a cave, enter the cave for another dungeon for the next pass then exit.
Pass 3: Go down, then right, and across the town section at the last downwards turn go down
into exit area. A boss will appear for you to fight. Upon defeating the boss, he will drop the
last pass. Grab it and then exit through the gate.
STAGE 5: Odd Town
Pass 1: From the start position, go right and then go down at first down. Head right, and at
the second up, go up into a new area. Head right while jumping over the water
(Goemon cannot swim) then go upwards. Then go up twice and then head right. A shop just over
the bridge sells a pass for 600 coins, but beware, for the bridge is protected by extremely
tough enemies!
Pass 2: Re-enter the shop where you just bought a pass, and the man will be selling another
one for 700 ryo! (aaah!!!)
Pass 3: Go upwards by the path next to the shop you just bought the pass, and you will see a
mountain with a building that has a purple curtain. Enter for a dungeon area admission of
300 ryo! Go in, find the pass, then leave. Then head right back down three times then go left
and take the first path down. Go right to the end, and then go down for the exit area.
STAGE 6: Ninja Country!
Pass 1: Keep going right while jumping over the gaps. Go up into town, go right, then take the
first path up again. Then go right to a shop along this path which is selling one of the
passes for 700 RYO!
Pass 2: I think it's in a shop around the lower section...
I'll note down when I find it again and I'll update this!
Pass 3: HAVEN'T FOUND
SECRET STAGE: Hell
If you are silly enough to attack the guardian statues you get sent here. Just keep heading
right. Defeating the demons here gives you money, but beware because there are HUGE gaps to
leap over and lots of lava to fall in. Keep going until you see a red demon statue. Hit the
statue and you will return to the guardian statue that you attacked on the level you were on.

7: Tips
ALWAYS have a candle, as these will lead you to underground areas which are usually loaded
with all sorts of nice power-ups.
Armor and helmets are very handy, to keep around, but be careful as they become extremely
expensive around level 3 and onwards.
Money pots always regenerate in the same place so get money from area, leave and then come
back for the money again, which eliminates high-price problems, but don't spend all day getting
money as your are under a time limit.
The old ladies ALWAYS appear in the same place, so just grab them, leave, then come back again
to gain some fast cash!
On the harder levels ALWAYS keep a set of Riceballs handy, especially for levels with the
Tengu birds hanging around. Riceballs are also handy for use on levels which have a boss
at the end!
8: The Bosses!
Stage 1 Boss: Prison Warden
This is the nasty man who put Goemon and Ebisumaru in jail! He first appears as a Sumo robot,
and he will chase you and throw his wig at you. Just run behind him, andhit him three times.
Then run around to his front and hit him three times. Repeat until the head comes off showing
the warden underneath. He will now change tactics and starts shooting at you, so just use the
same tactics and you will defeat him.
Stage 4 Boss: The Peach of Doom
This is just a large flying peach! Just rush in hit it a few times, then break off to avoid
the monsters it spits out. Repeat until it is defeated.
