Line 80:
** Actually, starting with Goemon 2 SFC, the townspeople would no longer harm Goemon in town, at least until he attacks someone, triggering an infinite swarm of furious cops, as a nod to previous NES-Era games... Played straight however in a town set within Goemon 2 Final Castle (which may be justifiable), and whith te platforming sections.
* [[Fan Translation]]: For ''[http://yojimbo.eludevisibility.org/GanbareGoemon2/GanbareGoemon2.html Ganbare Goemon 2]'', the original game, and ''[http://agtp.romhack.net/project.php?id=goemon2 Kiteretsu Shougun Magginesu]'' (in progress). Some non-patch translations exist for ''[http://www.youtube.com/user/beatlesfan931 Ganbare Goemon 3/4]'' and ''[http://www.seppukumaru.com/translation.html Seikuushi Dynamites Arawaru]'', but only cover major scenes.
* [[
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: A fair amount. Because of [[Values Dissonance]], many censors don't realize that there's anything that might be objectionable to Westerners. For example, the conspicuous genitalia of Tanukis are left intact.
** Despite the game being somewhat censored on Western importation; the English version of ''Goemon's Great Adventure'' does contain the word, "damn."
Line 94:
* [[No Export for You]]
* [[No Swastikas]]: The star blocks in ''Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon'' and ''Goemon's Great Adventure'' were originally adorned with manji marks.
* [[One
** Technically, {{spoiler|Kabuki}} did it as well.
* [[Shout Out]]: The obligatory references to other Konami games. [[Castlevania|Simon Belmont]] was even a [[Guest Star Party Member]] in ''Ganbare Goemon Gaiden 2''.
Line 135:
* [[Happily Married]]: Yōko and Junichirō Ishikawa (Tsukasa's parents).
* [[Love Hurts]]: Protein falls for an [[Oblivious to Love]] Sasuke, but they're on opposite sides of the conflict. Later, the same happens to Dr. Mudanashi with Tsukasa's mother.
* [[Power
* [[Real World Episode]]: Goemon and company have the ability to freely go back and forth from the game world to the real world in ''Anime''.
* [[Rich Bitch|Rich Bastard]]: Noboru Mejirodai in ''Anime''.
Line 145:
* [[Alternate Continuity]]: The anime and Hiroshi Obi's manga. Game-wise, there's ''Bouken Jidai Katsugeki'' and the two "New Age" titles.
* [[Biting the Handkerchief]]: Nyanko of the Four Tsujigiri does this on a near-constant basis.
* [[City of Adventure]]: Hagure Town of Edo, [[Spell My Name With an "S"|variously translated as]] "Oedo Town" and "Lost'n Town."
* [[Console Cameo]]: A Super Famicom is shown in ''Soreyuke Ebisumaru'' and ''Jigen-jō no Akumu''.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Koryuta made his debut as a permanent party member in ''Ganbare Goemon Gaiden 2''. Nowadays he's just a mode of transportation, though the manga tried to expand his role a little.
Line 152:
* [[Historical Domain Character]] and [[Public Domain Character]]: Due to many Japanese folk characters being based on real people, the series skirts between the two tropes. A few examples are Nezumi Kouzo, [[Sarutobi Sasuke]], and (of course) Ishikawa Goemon.
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: A staple of the series since ''Kiteretsu Shougun Magginesu''.
* [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]]: Happens a few times to Omitsu, particularly in ''Kuru Nara Koi'' where the entire plot revolves around the spoiled son of the wealthy Ayashige family attempting to force her into marriage. (Said son is only a [[Squick|child]]...)
* [[Implied Love Interest]]: Konami hasn't revealed the true nature of Goemon and Omitsu's relationship, but they're obviously very close. This is possibly for the best, considering how popular it is to pair off Goemon with someone who isn't Omitsu - making them explicitly an [[Official Couple]] would definitely piss off a lot of shippers.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Goemon's trademark weapon is a ''kiseru'', a type of Japanese smoking pipe. Ebisumaru's arsenal varies from game to game, but he has had a few unusual weapons as well, including flutes, megaphones and [[Paper Fan of Doom|paper fans]].
* [[Kabuki Sounds]]: The series is generously peppered with all manner of Kabuki influences, such as Goemon's kumadori face paint and tendency to make mie poses.
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: {{spoiler|Goemon is revealed to be the ancestor of Shishi Jurokubei, the [[Big Bad]] of ''Ganbare Goemon 3''. Jurokubei performs a [[Heel Face Turn]] immediately afterwards.}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Many of the villains in the series have one, often overlapping with [[Punny Name]].
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: Spring Breeze Dancin' in ''Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon'' immediately gives Goemon and Ebisumaru the nicknames of "Fernandez" and "Antonio," respectively. In the manga, Sasuke recieves the less-dignified nickname of "Boingy."
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: In ''Ganbare Goemon 4'', {{spoiler|the heroes' breaking of the barriers surrounding Planet Impact allowed the evil Harakiri Seppukumaru to escape.}} Whoops!
* [[Ninja]]
* [[No Communities Were Harmed]]: The series uses the names of the old provinces of Japan, but the locations therein are entirely fictional.
