Goonies II NES speedrun in

[@EdyKelDev]

One of my favorite games back then. It took me weeks, if not months, to finish it - with all the hidden stuff and puzzles. And here it is reduced to mere minutes. Awesome.

[@miraclefred]

Same. Had maps drawn on binder paper and everything lol

[@AboveEmAllProduction]

Lies. How did you finish it without a guide? You're lying.

[@dongeraci8599]

Argus does in 17 minutes what I haven't been able to do in 17 years...

[@jphasson]

Seriously, this game is total shit. Games where the difficult level lies not in the platforming, enemy fights, or controls, but in knowing where to go and how to actually get there are total trashcans.

[@howarddemorro2196]

Fucking A!!!!

[@brentfarvors192]

@@jphasson Tell me about it!!! Remember renting this pos when it first came out; Never made it past the 2nd level...

[@jonq8714]

I spent hundreds and hundreds of hours in this game, using the hitting every corner of every room... never beat it.

[@howarddemorro2196]

The fact you conquered this game in under 20 minutes should deserve a holiday dedicated to it

[@brentfarvors192]

Not at all; Especially with an INTERNET to look up what to do...I still wan't my $2.99 back from renting this POS!!!

[@ParumPirum]

1:30 "Mikey, you're late" - wtf, i got to you in 1 minute and 21 seconds!

[@kicksex]

ParumPirum is there any way to get them to not say youre late?

[@namelessjedi2242]

No, it’s just a character thing.

[@Faber0k]

​@namelessjedi2242 you would think the developers would realize that players would try for 40 years to get them to say something else.

[@bruth6138]

Awesome. I remember getting up before school in middle school to play this. Fun to watch. All of the nostalgia without the frustration that came from these old games.

[@everwake2689]

One of my favorite games when I was a kid! Thanks for running it.

[@CryptoTruthBombs]

This game was impossible without a guide. Like when he drops the bomb in the middle of nowhere. How on earth would you find that? Insane.

[@DarkTemplar981]

I found the doors by accident

[@miraclefred]

Coming from playing games like Zelda, you just learn to bomb/burn random shit

Oh, this takes me back. Took me forever to beat this game as a kid. And you did it in under 18 minutes. I tip my hat off to you, good sir!!

[@SeveredLegs]

I wish someone would make another game like this, or even just a good rom hack with all new locations.

[@Klugger]

I think there is now.

[@fredrikolsson6910]

[@swordbladez]

Hours and hours of my childhood destroyed in 17 min and 40 seconds! Wonderful job!

[@GrizzyLatrizzy]

I had this as a kid. It was Metroid-level confusing...but at least there was a map. I was very proud of myself when I beat it.

[@Dedicatedtolivinginthepast]

I've never owned this game but I did have Metroid And Zelda 2 and it seems like a mixture between those two.

[@DASamX5453]

8:49 It's weird how they did it but it's called Goonies 2 cause there was already a Goonies video game on the NES that came out in 1986 and this Goonies 2 came out a year later in 1987...so they had 2 games, hence the 2 part of it...but it is confusing cause they never made a 2nd movie...but went ahead and made another video game in the series...

[@namelessjedi2242]

Yep, it’s the 2nd Goonies game, so the title makes sense.

[@Daeymien]

and neither of them have anything really to do with the movie so far as the actual gameplay, just a few shoehorned plot elements.

[@brentfarvors192]

2nd game was psychological warfare...

[@jamesmurray4312]

See, I'd speedrun this, but the soundtrack is too good.

Play and try stuff. You learn eventually.

[@customsongmaker]

It's when he steps on the button that marks the time

[@elzar760]

Apparently, according to this game, had there ever been a Goonies 2, it would have been one hell of a ride.

I think it is funny that these old adventure games that were supposed to take weeks or months to beat almost all have world records that are less that 20 minutes long.

[@robloxvids2233]

I love this and cast it to my TV when I WFH. Arcus, how come you jump when you take a death in a pit? Isn't it faster to just walk off the edge? If you jump then at the point of the edge you are higher and it takes a split second extra. Or am I wrong?

Never seen this game before. The look & feel reminds me of various other NES games. The underwater part looks & sounds like Crystalis, the buildings remind me of Friday the 13th, and the platforming is like generic NES.

The original Goonies game was only on the Famicom and Nintendo Vs. arcade. It looks pretty similar, but Goonies II is like an enhanced version of the game.

[@yongyea4147]

Good work Mikey

[@GennyI3eerDrinkr]

What if they made a Goonies sequel based on this video game? Obviously they'd have to tweak some of the basic story, like Mikey still being a kid. Maybe... "Years after One-Eyed Willy's ship 'The Inferno' sinks after sailing away at the end of the first film, a young mermaid (Annie) searches for treasures among the wreckage and finds Mikey's marbles that he abandoned in place of the jewels. She is able to detect trace Atlantean magic from them and, believing Mikey to be of Atlantis, grows legs, and takes to the world above to find him. Mikey and the remaining Goonies are given the arduous task of providing testimony against the Fratelli's at their parole hearings, following their encounter with them in One-Eyed Willy's tunnels in 1985. All of them, including Sloth, are able to effectively provide the parole board with enough evidence to have their parole rejected. An elderly Mama Fratelli has a stroke and is placed in a prison hospital. Her nephew and former Fratelli hitman, codenamed Pipsqueak, is order to make "un'ultima resistenza" (a last stand). Mama Fratelli gives Pipsqueak the doubloon from the first film, and then passes away. Both Annie and Pipsqueak are attempting to track down Mikey and the Goonies. A news report of the recent parole hearing leads them both to the Goon Docks, where Mikey, who never married, now cares for his father in his childhood home after his mother passed away. Mikey is approached by Annie and is initially brushed off as a reporter looking for a story. But when Annie reveals her supernatural form by dipping her toes in a nearby pool, she is quickly ushered inside..."

Goonies II is the weird combination of both the easiest and hardest NES games, depending on how you look at it. The platforming is easy and infinite continues in the same room. How many NES games give you that? But the obscure rooms and secrets ruin it all.

[@jphasson]

Agreed. One of the most cryptic NES games. No average gamer in the 80s would have stood a chance.

[@omegasupreme5527]

I think they did one of those Nintendo Power issues with maps and item locations for this game. Good luck beating this one without something like that. The game was a confusing mess playing it blind.

[@namelessjedi2242]

Ruin it? That’s entirely what gives it its charm.
