{{nihongo|'''Ganbare Goemon! Karakuri Douchuu'''|がんばれゴエモン!からくり{{ruby|道中|どうちゅう}}||lit. Persevere Goemon! A Tricky Journey}} is a video game developed and published by [[Konami]]. It is the second game in the Ganbare Goemon series (known as the Mystical Ninja series in North America and Europe), and was the first released on a video game console and home computer. It was originally released for the [[Famicom]] in [[1986]] and later released for the [[MSX2]] one year later. The Famicom version was re-released in Japan only for the [[Game Boy Advance]] under the Famicom Mini label.


The game revolves around the main character Goemon, and his exploits. As the name suggests, his character was based on Ishikawa Goemon, the noble thief of Japanese Folklore. Unlike its sequels, this game still doesn't feature the comic situation and strange characters that define the series, and Goemon is portrayed as a noble thief rather than a plain hero.

The game plays as a top-view action-adventure game (similarly to The Legend of Zelda) though it is separated by stages. In each level, Goemon must find three passes in order to advance. Some of these passes are found in boxes, secret passages, or can be bought. Like the rest of the series, Goemon can be powered up if certain items are found and/or bought, which can be lost after a few hits.

The MSX2 version features crisper graphics, but presents each screen as a static scene instead of scrolling them horizontally. It also has the option to be played by turns by two players, with the second player playing as a ninja named Nezumi Kozō, who served as the basis for Goemon's sidekick, Ebisumaru. In addition, unlike the Famicom version, the MSX2 version has 6 more provinces with completely new levels after completing the game once.
