A simple puzzle and action game where you go through five stages trying to rescue your friends from pirates. Pick up and throw things in the environment to fight enemies, kick blocks, and make use of pick ups like a grappling hook, distracting bell, shovel, etc. Not much changes as the game goes on and it is a fairly short playthrough that is clearly made with co-op play in mind where you would each carry around one item instead of two like in SP and could help each other with distractions or throwing things to one another. Not a terrible time alone but would need a second player to elevate it to remaining fun the whole way through.

The best co-op game I've never been able to convince anyone to play with me ever despite numerous years of trying. It's still perfectly playable solo, but even then you just know it's meant for two.

I've seen other compare this to Four Swords and I think that's pretty accurate. Puzzles are fairly simple but really fun to figure out, and the game never takes itself too seriously. Even when you're griefing player 2 it still feels like it's all in good fun. There's not much of a story to this (why would there be?) but what's here is just the right amount of silly, and the sprite work does a great job at capturing the style of the show. The soundtrack is terrific too. Given how good both this and Four Swords are, it's surprising to me that there's not a bunch of indie clones.

It can get a bit dull in singleplayer, there's obviously something missing from the experience when you're going at it alone, but it's still fun enough if you want to waste away a Saturday afternoon.

Complete playthrough. Reading that it was one of the inspirations for the superb UNSIGHTED was what brought the SNES classic Disney's Goof Troop back to my attention, an overhead-perspective 2D puzzle game starring Goofy and Max from the 1990s animated TV series. Gameplay here is fairly slow-paced, as Goofy explores a series of five maze-like environments, solving puzzles primarily by block-pushing, hitting switches and defeating enemies with thrown barrels. It's all nicely satisfying on the whole, albeit at times with the potential for frustration from the lack of an in-game map.

With only five stages taking perhaps 15-20 minutes to play through, it's all over very quickly. A key selling point or the game, though, is the well-implemented co-op mode, albeit not one that I used. There were, though, a handful of puzzles that could have been tweaked a little for the single-player mode, primarily where a very tight time limit was in effect that would be fairly trivial to overcome with two players. These were, though, mercifully rare and don't have much impact on the overall enjoyably satisfying gameplay.

Goof Troop é daqueles jogos que resiste ao tempo e se mantém maravilhoso até os dias atuais.

Um dos primeiros jogos com campanha completa em cooperação, ainda é uma joia de design com muito a ensinar para multiplayer cooperativo.

Seu tempo curto torna quase dispensáveis os passwords, apesar de que uma criança provavelmente precisa de mais tempo pra compreender os quebra-cabeças e passar de setores mais difíceis, sendo necessário o uso dos passwords na falta de save game.

E é respeitando todas as limitações que se pode extrair o melhor de Goof Troop.

Éste es uno de esos clásicos que no muchos videojugadores conocen. Basado en la serie de televisión del mismo nombre nos pone en el papel de Goofy y Max quienes tienen que rescatar a Pete y PJ que se encuentran cautivos en un barco pirata. Es uno de esos juegos que se disfruta mejor en compañía, ya que sus mecánicas y su estilo de juego, lo hacen el cartucho perfecto para unir fuerzas y resolver enigmas con la ayuda de un amigo. Si lo anterior no es posible, de igual manera es un título que se disfruta gracias a su divertida temática y su buen concepto. Capcom hace un buen trabajo con este cartucho para SNES antes de dedicarse a su franquicia de zombis estrella. Recomendado para aquellos videojugadores que quieran jugar un clásico poco conocido.
