Goof Troop (SNES) Playthrough

A playthrough of Capcom's 1993 license-based action-puzzle game for the Super Nintendo, Goof Troop.
Played through as Goofy in single-player mode.
Was there ever a Disney TV show that managed to be more quintessentially 90s than Goof Troop? I was in the fifth grade when this attitude-laden take on Goofy showed up on the Disney Channel, and I watched it every day after school. I loved it, so it was pretty exciting news when Capcom announced a video game adaptation of Goof Troop.
Goof Troop begins with Goofy and his son Max going on a fishing trip when they see their neighbors, Pete and his son PJ, being kidnapped by pirates. Being the nice guys that they are, Goofy and Max follow them to the pirates' island in order to stage a rescue.
The game is an even mix of action and puzzle solving that reminds me a fair bit of Irem's Kickle Cubicle ( • Video ). You play as Goofy (strong but slow) or as Max (weak but quick), and each of the five stages is made up of several single-screen rooms that primarily involve killing enemies by throwing stuff at them, kicking blocks, and finding keys as you work your way toward the boss.
The game is a lot of fun playing single player, but it is the fantastic two player co-op mode that elevates this cart above the average SNES game. It's not a long or difficult game by any means, but it is one that's fun to play again and again.
That, and it has a really charming presentation. The sprites are cute and cleanly drawn, and the soundtrack is fantastic. The instrument quality is way up there for a SNES game, and the original tunes are some of the best that you'll hear from a Capcom SNES game.
(But where's the theme song from the show?)
I remember this one rating well in Nintendo Power and the screenshots totally sold me on the game. After renting it God knows how many times from the local Hollywood Video, my parents finally relented and bought a copy for my sister and I. We played obsessively until we could plow our way through without using any continues.
It's not talked about nearly as much as the Disney games Capcom made for the NES, but in my mind, Goof Troop sits right on par with classics like Chip & Dale and DuckTales.
Oh, and it's one of the earliest Capcom games that Shinji Mikami worked on. You know, before he became famous with Resident Evil. Don't worry: nobody in Goof Troop becomes a sandwich.

Goof Troop is a ridiculously fun little action-puzzler that lives up to the quality of Capcom's NES Disney games.

[@LPetal86]

Well, now I know where some of Sr. Pelo gets his music from! He must be a huge fan of this game and its soundtrack, LOL.

[@knuclear200x]

I was the guy who never liked Disney Afternoon, but the games on which they were based

[@bennyrosa9103]

Let’s not forget it is made by the great Shinji Mikami

[@mrnobody2683]

The director goes on to Resident Evil glory later Wtf

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

This is one of the best overall designed games for the SNES and indeed any system. Great design, music, levels and just the right amount of difficulty. Challenging but not so frustrating that you don't want to try. The sliding block puzzles were really great. It's too bad that they didn't make a sequel to this along the same lines.

[@rjcupid]

Goof Troop was such an amazing cartoon back in the day. This game certainly does it justice. Capcom made so many gems on the SNES.

[@zilla2006able]

I agree

[@rjcupid]

:)

[@randy7894]

One of the greatest SNES games. Such puzzle fun for young and old kids.

[@richardbannister1269]

Remember playing this with my dad. What memories. Those were the days!!

[@thewolfgabe3656]

I like how you can tell how this game helped lay the groundwork for Resident Evil in a way with the heavy emphasis on item management.

[@maxwellr5251]

the puzzles and backtracking too.

[@ianswift3521]

@@maxwellr5251 absolutely this.

[@skolnutz]

Definitely more of a Zelda clone

[@Cyberguy64]

I loved playing this with my cousins growing up. It's such a short, fun romp that we'll still pick it up for a run even now.

[@skolnutz]

Same dude! We played on an old ctv

[@TRJ2241987]

I rented this game so much as a kid. Co-oped it with friends. Beat it alone. Everything about it is magical and perfect.

[@kucingonline2359]

For me i let this game sit for almost two year till i see my neighbours play it with his cousin... Than i got hook up

[@spoonshiro]

Designed by the guy who would go on to direct Resident Evil, God Hand, Vanquish and The Evil Within.

[@left4deadian]

So that explains the puzzles.

[@leonestrada1112]

Shinji Mikami was behond this one??? 😱 WOW!!!

[@kek-senpai243]

My favorite licensed game.

[@DerivativeWorker]

I cant get over his angry gaze. He is gonna goof some people up!

[@Cyclonus84]

This brings back memories. Going to Blockbuster on Friday nights to rent video games and movies.

[@supershadowman6478]

Oh not this one is a old favorite me and my cousins and brother would have so much fun playing this. This game is perhaps my favorite of the Disney capcom collaborations

[@kwibus6382]

31:24 what a music master piece! Ingame music was sooo much better back in the days than it is today..

[@Nielosmusic]

Listening this on headphones makes me realise how epic this music was and still is. Wish it had more levels!

[@Dorian_Scott]

That pirate ship level is some of the catchiest Super Nintendo music ever. (45:19)

[@kwibus6382]

31:24 , Masterpiece.

[@Pichustrikesback]

Man, what a game! It was so much fun playing it back in the day; and that catchy soundtrack, always loved it, even sometimes I hum or whistle it, particularly the stage 4 track: "Lose my way". There are a few things I did not remember, like navigating those dark rooms, the bouncing boulders, solving the puzzle while avoiding the fireballs, the red pirates that threw the stuff back at you lol! Last time I played this was perhaps around 2004, sadly I don't have the patience I had as a kid and could not finish it again. Thanks for bringing back those lovely memories.

[@YukaTakeuchiFan]

You say 'nobody in Goof Troop becomes a sandwich' but I feel somewhat disappointed that we will never hear "Gawrsh, that was too close! You were almost a Max sandwich, a-hyuck!".

[@NintendoComplete]

Lmao that would be amazing, I must admit. A max sandwich sounds like something you could've bought at 7-11 in the 90s.

[@alessiafiore1475]

Logo: On a black background, we see the Capcom logo (with the word "CAPCOM" in yellow with a blue outline, set in the Korinna font), which shines briefly. The logo looks metallic. In some cases, there is no animation. Variants: On Capcom-developed games for the Nintendo Entertainment System, especially Mega Man (starting with the 4th game in the series), the logo has "PRESENTS" in white below the now-smaller Capcom logo. The logo shines in the 6th game. On Capcom's MVP Football (1993), launched only in the Americas for the SNES, the logo is bigger and fades in rather slowly compared to the original logo. "PRESENTS" is written in blue and a different font. The logo was accompanied by a high-pitched version of the theme described below. On games released for the Game Boy, the logo is in monochrome. One example with this is Street Fighter II. On Final Fight One, the non-metallic version of the logo from the 2nd one is used, and the "Presents" text is in red. An enhanced version of the logo made a surprise appearance on DuckTales Remastered. FX/SFX: Just the shining. Music/Sounds: Just two warbling synths, then a long-lasting electronic piano glissando (which sounds different depending on the system/game it appears on). In other cases, it's silent. Music/Sounds Variant: A low-pitched version of the theme can be heard on the game Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems (awaiting for more games that used the music variant). Availability: Seen on all Capcom developed games in the 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit era, such as Mega Man X1-3 (only the SNES version of Megaman X3 has this logo, the PlayStation and Megaman X Collection versions use the next logo), Street Fighter 2, etc. This logo was left intact on Megaman 7 in Megaman Anniversary Collection for PS2 and GC, and on Megaman X and Megaman X2 in Megaman X Collection, also for PS2 and GC. The "Capcom Presents" variant is known to be on Megaman 4-6 on NES, which is also left intact on Megaman Anniversary Collection and Final Fight on the SNES.

[@RDMVidya]

Ah, all of the fun early Game Grumps memories come flooding back.

[@neaparis6114]

The Legend of Zelda vibes were strong with this game. Loved it as a kid!

[@LPetal86]

I loved this cartoon back in the 90s, and the movie was pretty great too! Never played this game but Capcom had a knack for making several classics. This reminds me of... _Bomberman_ and mmmmaybe _The Adventure of Lolo_ .

[@rjcupid]

It reminds me a bit of Kickle Cubicle.

[@ronnychristenjoyer6778]

This is such a good game. I played it all the way through as a kid. I remember the sounds, the music, everything.

[@MarshallFlores]

An excellent action-puzzle game on SNES, and I'm sure it plays even better as co-op. A staple for any SNES library.

[@melissaleoncreolenola]

@ 5:00 that's music to my ears.... when the Capcom logo comes on.. good memories

[@Waymar19]

Thank you for taking me back to the past!

[@josemanoeltavaresfilho3693]

I loved to play this with my big sis back on the 2000's , thanks for the memories man.

[@VirtualKnight64]

I borrowed this from my distant cousins when I was a little kid. After I returned it, I never played it again. I had the tune from the first level in my head all this time!

[@adambooth7755]

20:13 That is straight-up a room in a dungeon from a Link to The Past. Heck, the aesthetic of the entirety of Level 3 is for that matter.

[@Xx1SailorScoutxX]

I LOVED the show as a kid; however, I wrote the game off due to it not being a platformer like most of Capcom's games based on Disney franchises. Might have to give it another chance!

[@Carl15O3]

The soundtrack is absolutely fantastic.

[@garyharrall4002]

I remembered playing this with my brother as kids. Brought back memories

[@susanfit47]

Apparently the SNES Goof Troop puzzle game was originally going to be a sidescrolling platformer featuring Max and Pete Jr.

[@Leoj305]

Another great playthrough from the legend

[@VahanNisanian]

Very clearly a spiritual successor to the two "Higemaru" games, also produced by Capcom.

[@Xx1SailorScoutxX]

Never noticed that until now. Great observation!

[@marvelbliss]

Speaking of, it's too bad the NES Higemaru never got released overseas, though it apparently almost did (under the name "Makai Island").

[@Trollnix2]

The classic of all coop classic on snes. Cant stop playing this game when im young.😢😂

[@fuhcoughm8]

Such a great game, I remember playing this as a kid with my grandma

[@angelsevilspawn2212]

I have been trying to figure out what game this is for nearly 20 years. I played it with my dad when I was little. I could only remember that it was a game with Max and Goofy and you run around fighting stuff. I wish my dad was still around to show this to.

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

We're the Goof Troop, and we always stay together! We're the Goof Troop, best of friends FOREVER! Classic cartoon, classic game! This is one of the first games I've ever played that showed us just how brilliant 2-player co-op action can be for puzzle-solving and dispatching pesky pirates by throwing stuff at 'em, A Link to the Past-style, or luring them in with a bell to kick blocks into their direction. The mechanic of catching objects thrown to each other, though, that I can't get enough of. Awesome game. It's Goofy and Max like you've never seen them before! You cannot "goof" by picking this game. Pretty cool soundtrack too. I swear, at least one of those instruments is also used in the first Mega Man X.

[@thecunninlynguist]

Cousin had this, it was always fun to play co op

[@Koopabonga]

This game totally made my 98' Christmas vacations. And I always tried to buying it after that !

[@longWriter]

I could never finish the puzzle in the steering-wheel room!

[@Omarencarnacion1]

cool, i never play this one before, beautiful game

[@retrorun]

Ive completed the game for the first time these days. Very fun game, should have played before!

[@Invidente7]

There was this one puzzle on the final level, just right before the final boss (...I think) that was really hard. As expected of Shinji Mikami.

[@Dorian_Scott]

Never played this one before. Nor, have I watched "Goof Troop" too often. But I *have* seen "A Goofy Movie" a couple times.

[@VahanNisanian]

I was obsessed with "A Goofy Movie" in the 90's. Don't know any 90's kid who wasn't obsessed with it.

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

A Goofy Movie is a classic!

[@danalong1237]

Both Goof Troop and A Goofy Movie are now streaming on Disney+!

[@mattcouture2579]

Watched this show and definitely rented this game a few times. It was lots of fun, but there was a puzzle in the last level that I could never get past; I think it might have been the one at 49:54. Looking back, this is a really nice little game with some very clever puzzles and fun gameplay. Gives off some strong Zelda vibes, particularly in the later levels. Thanks for sharing, and great job on the playthrough!

[@rudygutierrez2596]

Just got a nintendo switch for myself after I saw a younger cousin playing the old nes classic Mario games and finding out they had plenty og games on it was hoping to find this gem on there too. Maybe one day, but childhood flash backs were crazy going through all the games they had on there.

[@henrilehtinen5285]

I love this game 👍

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Just want to point out that Goofy is the only one of the Fab 5 (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto) who actually has children of his own. Not nieces, nephews, etc. This means that Goofy is the only one who we KNOW has been intimate with a woman (well, a female goof anyway). Let that image conjure up in your mind...

[@user-wd6me5vz7p]

goof troop wasn't the first goofy video game but it was the first video game which max appeared in. it would be cool if they'd make a game where max would have to save roxanne.

[@kerpa1976]

This is an amazing game!!

I miss this, I would use Max cause he moved a little faster😁

[@DabyhCinacchi]

My older niece has talked what Goofy is similar to my father.

[@DngrDan]

I never made it past 28:43 as a kid. I tried to get my cousin's daughters to play it with me but ever since I got them into the Super Nintendo they've been stuck on Donkey Kong for like seven years 🗿

[@theminion8665]

This game is fucking awesome!!

We need a mod that replaces Goofy with Powerline.

[@artrojas4732]

I remember I used to play this game with my dad. I was 7 years old and I found it difficult to play, but I used to see my dad so excited to play it that I tried my best. Sometimes I felt asleep on his knees while he was playing. I remember every time he got to the bosses, he woke me up to see if he won or not. One night, 4 am, he woke me up because he had made it to the final boss. I ran to the living room with a blanket, so excited and anxious about the whole event. Those times were precious. I felt like my dad was my best friend. Everything changed as I grew up and when I came out to him at 14, we grew apart. I’m 32 now and he’s still very homophobic. Wish I could go back in time to feel that joy again.
