Ganbare Goemon Kirakira Dōchū: Boku ga Dancer ni Natta Wake (がんばれゴエモン きらきら道中~僕がダンサーになった理由~?) is the fourth Ganbare Goemon game released for the Super Famicom on December 22, 1995.

## Gameplay ##

Kirakira Douchuu trashes the open over-world from Goemon 3 and re-introduces the Goemon 2 stage select.

Each character is marooned on different planets, with several side-scrolling levels and 1-2 towns.

Each world has a castle stage, in which the boss fights consist of a mini-game.

The game also features minor voice-acting.

## Graphics ##

The character sprites are similar to Goemon 3 but the backgrounds are very awesome.

Some levels has some amazingly well made backdrops.

## Controls ##

Controls works as they should.

Nothing to advanced.

Just perfect.

## Story ##

The Goemon Impact shows on the doorstep and learns of a planet filled with people that look just like him. Mistakening him for their leader, they begin to worship him, but the planet is soon attacked by the devious Harakiri Seppukumaru. (“Harakiri” and “seppuku” are both methods of ritual suicide.) Unable to let his followers down, Impact flies his friend into outer space to save the day.

## Replay Value ##

There might be some replay value here,. but I don’t see it. (note: this is not a bad thing, this is not really a game you beat many times)

## Conclusion ##

All in all this might be the best Goemon game for the Super Famicom.
