Since the designers didn't want you to walk around bashing EVERYTHING in sight,
there are innocent bystanders (mostly females...how sexist.) Run into them and you get rewarded
with a bit o' cash. Kill them and get docked money. |
 |
Here's a shop where you can buy stuff (of course.) I can guess that the hourglass
gives you more time, but I have no idea what the elephant and compass guy do...they appear
in later Goemon titles, so I decided to buy them just in case they did something handy. |
 |
This is the end of the level. From here on, you need to collect a certain number
of "passes" (those white pieces of paper with Japanese writing on them) in order to get to the
next level. You can either buy them (expensive, 300 ryo and up) or explore to find them.
Either way works. |
 |
That wacky Ebisumaru chap will pick up all of the coins that Goemon drops! Ha! Will
the humor never cease? (OK, this isn't THAT funny, but I needed to write SOMETHING here.) |
 |
This third level seems to take place high in the mountains...and inside this door
is a dance show! Since I'm a male teenager (and thus a pervert) I decided to take a look inside... |
 |
Oh baby, here it is! She even shows you her bare back! Until....dear God, she's a monster!
It's worth the price for this show just to see the look on Goemon's face. |
 |
That pirate guy is just an enemy, but if you toss money in this shrine, you'll get plenty o' power-ups.
Definitely worth it. |
 |
I get paranoid at these parts because I think I'll accidentally run off a ledge
into the water. In any case, fish and crabs attack here and get very annoying I might add. |
 |
I took this screenshot because I love the look on the dog's face. Tee hee! Some
of the enemies also look equally amusing when their eyes bulge out like that. |
 |
This is actually level 4. Psycho farmers and manicial little dwarf dudes! I love the enemies here! |
 |
At this point, I kinda died. Actually, I fell in some pits and ended up here.
Goemon will be lowered into the pot (perhaps a reference to the death of the real Ishikawa Goemon,
who was boiled in a pot of oil....?) but if you bash buttons fast enough, you'll be saved. In any
case, I stopped the game here. |
