Trying to find this game on Backloggd's list with just "Goemon" in the search field reminded me of the early 2000s spin-off series where they tried to make Goemon attractive and, I assume, more self-serious. I never played those and I have no desire to. Unless Goemon looks as hideous as he does on the cover of The Legend of the Mystical Ninja then I am not interested in any off-model Goemen.
Anyway, I have surprisingly little to say about this one. Normally I can whip up a tome about even the most asinine of SNES games, but surprisingly I keep coming up blank on this one. It's Goemon! Those games are pretty good. This game is also good. That's my review, please check back next week when I write 12 paragraphs about Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko!
Mystical Ninja is pretty funny, though not quite as absurd as the N64 sequel, which was able to get away with a bit more. There's still some really great bits like finding the Gradius minigame, and the boss and enemies designs are appropriately silly. The soundtrack is also really good, Yae's theme in particular stands out to me as a favorite.
Platforming feels solid, Goemon controls great both in the side-scrolling stages and during the more isometric town sections. It's just a solid little platformer that's worth your time, and which I probably should've played again to refresh myself on, because I'm sure there's more to say about it, but I sure as shit don't have anything else to talk about so I'm going to go clean the lent out of my dryer duct or something bye.
