Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon Trivia

1. Whose 'hypnotic dance' caused him and Goemon to be thrown out of a shop in Oedo Town at the very start of the game?

From Quiz Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon

Answer: Ebisumaru

Goemon had remarked that Ebisumaru had taken all his clothes off, so the hypnotic dance was probably fairly dodgy in nature. Ebisumaru was a man of many talents; he had a hypnotic dance, though I'll concede the evidence didn't suggest it actually worked. He could play the flute, although Yae ended up actually getting the one in the game. He could shrink to a minuscule size to reach seemingly inaccessible locations... and he was a skilled photographer. Despite these special talents, the game merely played him off as Goemon's comedy sidekick. The shame. Strangely enough, in spite of his overweight form he could also run faster than any other character - even the so-called ninja Sasuke - making him useful to terrain hop with as well.

Answer: Ebisumaru

He thinks he's beautiful and he tried to charm a storeowner into giving him and Goemon free dumplings and hilarity ensued. He eventually gets the power to shrink to dwarf size.

Answer: To increase maximum health

The Strength Gauge (maximum health) would increase by 1 for a Gold Fortune Doll or for four Silver Fortune Dolls. There were 45 dolls and up to 20 points available on the Strength Gauge in total. The mechanic was analogous to the heart system in the 'Zelda' games, except the fortune dolls were more thematically relevant considering the heavily layered Japanese theming of the game. Unlike many of the 'Zelda' games, the full health pieces weren't handed out after bosses. They tended to be in more difficult to reach places, such as behind a painting in the last dungeon, behind a waterfall and at the end of a tightrope.

Answer: Moon

To beat Congo, you must hit his chin. Congo is the first boss of the game. The Miracle Items are needed to get to Kyushu, whiched was sent to outer space.

Answer: A giant robot

Impact was first summoned using a triton shell at the flattened house of Sasuke's Wise Old Man to help beat Baron's kabuki robot. A catchy theme tune would play whenever he appeared and he'd talk of having to go make a movie in places like America and France after his fights. The Super Punch was one of his best combo moves, and the mastery of combo use would make Impact battles go from tricky to trivially easy. Given the last bosses were both Impact bosses, this made them a little anticlimactic, but still fun enough. Sadly, it took me a few failures against the first boss to even work out there were combo moves...

Answer: Triton Shell

Impact is a gigantic robot that Goemon and friends use for giant robot boss fights. Impact wants to be a movie star and he's already a good dancer.

Answer: Children

The Folkypoke Village's children were skilled dancers, so the Peach Mountain Shoguns wanted to employ them for forced labour in their stage acts. Out of gratitude for breaking the mind control device, Koryuta gave Yae a flute which would call her to take the group to any previously visited town or coffee shop as long as they were outside. The village had a mood transplant once the kids were returned from the Ghost Toys' Castle; even the village's music theme changed from a harsh and moody melody to a lively remastering of the Zazen Town theme. The Sogen Town that broke up the last dungeon's stages also used a more jazzy, loungey remastering of this theme.

Answer: The Peach Mountains Shoguns

The leaders of the Peach Mountain Shoguns are Spring Breeze Dancin' and Kitty Lily. They want to transform Japan into a giant stage.

Answer: Wind-up Camera

The Wind-up Camera was used by Ebisumaru to reveal ghosts and hidden paths, though the game always made it extremely obvious when hidden paths were in play. The crane game was a little annoying, since the wait graphic when failing was fairly lengthy, but rather delightful compared with the real-world incarnations I've come across that were always fairly unwinnable. The Ghost Toys Castle was the second major dungeon in the game, and was found in a very strange location - atop the Dogo Hot Springs. Spinning top platforms, doll enemies, a giant pool table and ... ghosts... featured heavily in this stage. The stage's boss, Dharmanayo, had a weak spot that could only be revealed with the camera. This would have been more significant if the game hadn't stuck a placard immediately before the elevator to the boss informing you of this fact.

Answer: Wind-Up Camera

You will need the Wind-Up Camera to reveal its weakness. It becomes transparent and you can attack its heart.

Answer: Two batteries

Sasuke was a mechanical ninja, but he had no batteries so he was inoperable when the party first obtained him as a reward for beating Benkei at the log throwing game at Zazen Town. One of the batteries was to be found in a pool deep in the Inaba desert in the Chugoku Region. The other battery required a snap of the Wind-up Camera at the Izumo Amnesty to unmask it. If the player went to the Amnesty first, the battery wouldn't be there if the first one hadn't been obtained; this arbitrary conditional was presumably in place because the Sasuke revival cutscene was at the base of Izumo Amnesty's giant tree.

Answer: Sasuke

Sasuke was built by the Wise Man. Although Sasuke is a robot, he likes hot baths and he drinks green tea. He gets the power to jump high.

Answer: Omitsu

The party were on the way to Kyushu after hearing Lily of the Peach Mountain Shoguns' plan to convert it into a stage. On the way, they met Omitsu, who was termed as the prettiest girl in Oedo Town and who seemed to be touted as a possible love interest (that never really went anywhere) of Goemon. She ran past them to deliver dumplings to Kyushu, which then got spirited up into space by the Peach Mountain Shoguns. The game itself lampshaded the implausibility of Omitsu actually going all the way from Oedo Town to Kyushu with dumplings, which likely would have gone stale by that point, by having Ebisumaru comment on the matter with incredulity.

Answer: Ryo

It is not only money, it can also be used to use magic. Goemon can also use it as a weapon.

Answer: Food

Japanese food, to be more accurate (of course!). Sushi rolls, rice bowls and miso soup abound! The Peach Mountain Shoguns had stockpiled a large amount of food here and the level design itself actually incorporated food within its terrain and tasks. For example, one section involved hopping against the grain of platforms akin to an oversized sushi conveyor belt to get a Silver Key. Whilst there were some underwater sections with unnaturally beautiful clear water, others were browny red as imbued with food. For the sake of clarity, I've called this the penultimate dungeon because the last dungeon, the Gorgeous Music Castle, was split into two parts with the Sogen Town being used as a breather spot between the two.

Answer: Baron

He is the blue "Weirdo". You meet him in Oedo Castle.

From Quiz Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon

Answer: Cucumber

The miracle items were pretty much defined plot coupons whose relevance weren't even spelt out until the Witch meeting shortly before the submarine level. The four items were required to summon a god at the Stone Circle who would teleport them to Kyushu in space so they could defeat the Shoguns. There was one miracle item given per castle, but Poron, the submarine goon, had lost his in Zazen Town. Kihachi, being the greatest collector in Japan, picked it up. Getting the cucumber involved first teaching Sasuke how to rocket jump. He could learn how to in the Bizen warehouse just outside Zazen Town after completing a timed jumping minigame. The priest's son atop Mt. Nyoaigatake could be reached with the rocket jump, and for just 800 Ryo he would sell a cucumber. This was the most expensive item in the game, 60% more costly than the second most expensive item, the Surprise Pack, which increased total lives by one. A cucumber. Yeah. The best way to stump up the requisite Ryo - aside already hoarding some before that point - was to go back to Oedo Castle and harvest the money pots at the entrance; entering and exiting would respawn them for 120 Ryo a round trip.
