'''''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 spiritual successor to this series published by [[Good-Feel]] in 2023 was made by the original team under the name ''Mameda no Bakeru''.

Players take control of a team of masked superheroes, known as the Wonderful 100 (pronounced One-Double Oh), to save Earth from GEATHJERK, a legion of alien invaders.

Additionally, Lina's floating jump, a special ability which was then inherited for [[Peach]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', appears as a mechanic for Peach since her debut in ''Melee'', also being inherited for [[Daisy]] in ''Ultimate''.
