The Mystical Ninja franchise (or, as it's known in Japan, Ganbare Goemon) is very underrated and obscure outside of Japan and while there are easily over a dozen games in the franchise spanning several genres, only 4 have been localized by Konami. Ganbare Goemon 2: Kiteretsu Shōgun Magginesu is the 11th game in the franchise and the second SNES (or as it's called in Japan, the Super Famicom) game. Unfortunately, this one was never localized (shame, because i think it's better then Legend of The Mystical Ninja), it shares few of the same concepts as the previous SNES game, such as similar locales and some of the same characters, however, the gameplay is much more refined and as a result, more responsive making for better platforming, towns are no longer littered with enemies and not to forget one of the new additions to the game, boss battles involving giant mechs duking it out.

The game is entirely in Japanese, so i won't be bothering with talking to NPCs (besides those that are required to progress) or messing around with the mini games (not that i care much about them anyways). As you might notice, the type of game this is, doesn't really require that you be able to read Japanese in order to play and enjoy it.

Compared to Food Castle, this was a pretty easy one to beat. There's not a whole lot to make life difficult aside from the last auto-scrolling part of the Castle, right before the boss. As for the boss itself, The Masked Ninja, i found him quite easy to beat after i realized that 1), the Chain Pipe rules here and 2) he jumps around a lot, making his attacks easy to avoid. So with that in mind, his one of the easier bosses.
