Ganbare Goemon! Karakuri Dōchū

'Ganbare Goemon! Karakuri Dōchū' is the second game in the Ganbare Goemon series (known in English as Mystical Ninja). The game revolves around the main character, Goemon, and his exploits. As the name suggests, his character was based on Ishikawa Goemon, the noble thief of Japanese Folklore. Unlike its sequels, this game still doesn't feature the comic situation and strange characters that define the series, and Goemon is portrayed as a noble thief rather than a plain hero.
