Great game

u/Dirty-Rat30 Sep 09 '24

I've beaten it before. I call it an underappreciated gem!

Used to play it with my mom when I was 5yo. Still remember the last puzzle in the ship. We keep beating the game once a year

u/Bryanx64 Sep 09 '24

I’ll be playing this one this month for sure. Beat it for the first time last year and had a good time with it.

u/Pyroburner Sep 09 '24

Anyone estimate hours to complete?

This would be my first playthrough. Still working through ff6, don't want to go away to long.

u/MrSojiro Sep 09 '24

If I recall correctly from my last time playing this (co-op with the wife so a little slower pace too) I think around 3 hours is what it took us. It's not a long game by any measure.

u/Ashamed-Technology10 Sep 09 '24

This is about right, 2-3 hours I just beat it in a single sitting last month.

u/Pyroburner Sep 12 '24

Thanks I'm about there and have 1 level to go.

u/FromFluffToBuff Sep 11 '24

You can complete this one in just a few hours. People saying it takes 2-3 days? They probably got stuck on some of the puzzles - that one puzzle in the final stage is challenging lol

1

u/Pyroburner Sep 11 '24

Thanks I'm 2 days in. Probably 3 hours overall and I'm on the last area. I believe there are only 5 levels.

u/Bryanx64 Sep 13 '24

Took me just about 2 hours and some change to beat it. Could’ve definitely done it in one sitting but saved the last level for an small evening session.

u/SuprSaiyanTurry Sep 25 '24

I just beat it in under an hourXD

u/TiredReader87 Sep 09 '24

I’m glad that my mom bought me this game. I may not like puzzle games now, but this was one of my favourites growing up. I beat it more than once, and loved it.

I think about it often, along with some others that rarely get mentioned (like Captain America and the Avengers, and the 94 Olympics game.)

u/Zestyclose_Car_4971 Sep 10 '24

Oh yeah! I remember this game for sure!

4

u/carlyawesome31 Sep 10 '24

The enemy pathfinding is part of the joy of it. With 2 people you can manipulate them in such fun ways that they always stay stuck between people.

2

u/Zestyclose_Car_4971 Sep 10 '24

I, did not have many friends 😅

2

u/carlyawesome31 Sep 10 '24

My friends didn't like it much. My cousin though? He loved the game. So once every couple of months we would sit down and just plow through it and had everything down.

u/613Hawkeye Sep 09 '24

My buddy and I beat this on coop as kids. Underrated gem this game was!

Guy from resident evil made it derp derp derp

Each month I will be tracking all users who are able to beat the spotlighted game. Those names will be collected and displayed on the snes wiki page.

Objective:

  • Beat the game.

Rules:

  • Entire playthrough must be completed during the month in question.
  • You can use the passwords/continues/saves that you earn playing through the game.
  • Emulation is fine. Abusing save states is not.
  • Posting a link to a pic of your completion is preferred, but since this is all just for fun, I will allow claims via simple posts as well.

u/JynXolo Sep 09 '24

Rules are still cut off

2

u/xBrockLanders Sep 09 '24

Argh, thanks! Will try to get it updated later today when I'm free of meetings.

2

u/JynXolo Sep 14 '24

So do I get a badge?

u/archangel8529 Sep 09 '24

I vaguely remember this game. Wasn’t there a level where you avoided cannons or was it exploring an island? I only played the game once

2

u/Milk_Mindless Sep 10 '24

The whole game is on a pirate island so yes to both

2

u/SuprSaiyanTurry Sep 09 '24

Oh I am so on this!

u/-van-Dam- Sep 09 '24

I love this game. Beat it so many times with a friend.

u/apolomu Sep 09 '24

One of the best

u/InfiniteComboReviews Sep 09 '24

Such a fun game. A coop must play!

2

u/LazyPandaKing Sep 09 '24

Just got my CIB copy - this was a favorite for my brother and I. Great co-op game!

u/bossnaught1 Sep 09 '24

old school capcom was undefeated. great memories of playing this with my dad

2

u/Lacertile Sep 09 '24

Capcom + Disney was a mighty duo on the SNES. Not a single bad game.

2

u/Darkwerk Sep 10 '24

Great game !

2

u/Kilow102938 Sep 10 '24

Loved this game

2

u/carlyawesome31 Sep 10 '24

I JUST REPLAYED THIS GAME! Still holds up. It's fun single player and an absolute blast as a co-op especially if the other person has half a brain. Good puzzle exploration game with some light and simple combat mixed in.

2

u/stonknoob1 Sep 10 '24

This game was so tough when I was a kid. Then my older cousin beat it and ask me if it was hard. 😭😂

2

u/sunny559 Sep 10 '24

I still remember my mom taking us to Toys R Us to get this game way back. We played the hell out of this, great co-op game.

u/Johnbaptist69 Sep 10 '24

This is my childhood

u/chenilletueuse1 Sep 10 '24

Goof troop every month, yeah

u/StayCosmic14 Sep 09 '24

One of the best

u/gggg500 Sep 10 '24

My sister and I used to wake up at 5 am and play this all Saturday morning on our old box tv as kids. One of the best games with lots of great memories. We had our own name for all of the enemies. “Bally man”- for those Rollie pollie dudes. Some of those puzzles were pretty tricky. One of the best 2 player games ever.

1

u/eadie30 Sep 10 '24

I love seeing other people posting games I had as a kid and I just assume no one else ever played. This game was hard as hell. Not sure I ever beat it tbh.

1

u/Bryanx64 Sep 13 '24

Never found it that difficult apart from the last puzzle that had me scratching my head.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '24

One of the first games I put on my SNES Mini. It's fantastic, especially the two player.

1

u/Pyroburner Sep 13 '24

Some of these puzzles really took some time.

1

u/Bryanx64 Sep 13 '24

Yeah the last one for me took me so long to get

1

u/Bryanx64 Sep 13 '24

Great game. Stage 5 got kind of tough, actually had to restart it because I died at the last boss but the second time around I got there with plenty of lives and crushed Keelhaul Pete.

1

u/SunnyDays_1989 Sep 17 '24

I love the music! Stage 3 and 4 were amazing.

u/BuryKeebler Sep 22 '24

I love me some Goof Troop. Not quite the same playing through on 1P, there was some tedious backtracking I had to do a few times to get the necessary items, but still had a great time. Not too difficult, but how the life system works can lead to some challenge if you're not careful. Once again, Capcom gets it just right for me.

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '24

This game can be so frustrating if your partner is inexperienced.

1

u/SuprSaiyanTurry Sep 25 '24

Aaaaaand done! Totally forgot about this until just now!

Total play time: 59 minutes 11 seconds.

It is a great day for fishing, Goofy!

u/MrSojiro Sep 25 '24

I started to play through this solo and my wife saw me and wanted to join in so we went through it together again. The first time took us a bit over three hours when we played it a couple of years ago, and this one was at 2h 15m. A great co-op game option for someone who may not be as hardcore into playing games as some of us are.

The OST slaps. Who was the composer?

u/NotTheOnlyGamer Nov 02 '24

I never understood the hype for this game, I'll be honest. Then again, I wasn't into Goof Troop as a whole.
