'''''Goemon''''' ({{ja|がんばれゴエモン|Ganbare Goemon}}, ''Go For It, Goemon!'') is an action-adventure series made by [[Konami]]. Although Konami mostly regards the series as largely too culturally based to be released worldwide, several games have been released to the west: one for the Super NES (''The Legend of the Mystical Ninja'' in 1991), two for the Nintendo 64 (''Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon'' in 1997, and ''Goemon's Great Adventure'' in 1999), and two for the Game Boy (the first in 1991, as part of ''Konami GB Collection Vol. 3'', and ''Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon'' in 1997, the former of which was released in Europe but not in America). The series is mainly action-adventure oriented, although the series has dipped its toes into other genres, such as role-playing games and puzzle games.

A [[:File:Brawl Sticker Bowser (DDR Mario Mix).png|sticker of]] {{SSBB|Bowser}} uses artwork from ''{{s|mariowiki|Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix}}''. {{SSBU|Mario}}'s down smash in ''Ultimate'' also resembles his breakdancing on that game's cover art, as opposed to just his leg sweep from ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'' as it was prior.

Some of Cloud's and Sephiroth's moves (which also may have been borrowed from the ''Tekken'' and ''Tobal'' games due to ''Ehrgeiz'' reusing a lot of animations from those games), such as their down tilts and Sephiroth's forward smash, originated from this game.

While the first game in the series is a one-on-one fighting game, its sequels and spin-offs adopted the style of the player controlling several generals on an open map and mowing down hordes of enemies while simultaneously managing the positions and actions of allied forces until the enemy has fallen or surrendered. The franchise includes having crossovers with franchises such as ''Dragon Quest'', {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}}, ''Fire Emblem'', and ''Persona''.
