Goof Troop

Good morrow, readers and gamers alike. I have another game to bring to attention today. This is a game based off the old television series known as Goof Troop. It was made way back when for the Super Nintendo. Popular Disney characters Goofy and his son Max are enjoying a relaxing day of fishing, when suddenly their friend Pete and his son P.J. are kidnapped by pirates. It is then that Goofy and Max set off on their adventure to rescue them.

Game play is more than simple when the main mechanic is picking things up, throwing, catching, and using various items with a simple button press. You can play as either Goofy or Max, or both using the 2 player mode. Goofy is stronger but slower, and Max is weaker but faster.

The story is very small, and hardly in depth. It's right in the beginning, and very straightforward. It's simple, though, and doesn't leave much to be desired, as the story itself isn't very big to begin with. Game play is very fun, though, especially with two players. It's not the easiest of game's either. In Video Game Reviews's review, the author writes, "Don't let the name fool you! This truly isn't a kiddies game and will be a challenge to advanced players. The puzzles in this game are the first to far surpass Lufia 2 in challenge and are puzzling difficult!" He has bad

grammar, yes, but he makes a point. the game is not easy. In

Associated Content's review, he states, "Each stage ends with a 

boss battle, and these fights involve having Goofy and Max throw items such as barrels, bones, and 

bombs at the bosses in order to defeat them. Some of these fights are quite difficult, especially the one 

that pits you against Keelhaul Pete himself." I, personally, have not completed this game, even with the help of

my friend. But nonetheless, the puzzles really made us think, and we had a blast playing it, even if we did keep

hitting each other with pots and coconuts.
