Goofy, funky N64 sound that refuses to take anything seriously. Ganbare Goemon's Dero Dero Douchuu Obake Tenkomori keeps the series tradition of soundtracks that feel like a party. SMILE AGAIN opens as a genuine pop song, setting the tone for maximum Goemon energy.

The track names alone tell you everything. "Even Dogs get lost walking in this Town" and "Sweet Tasty Delicious Water" are not just song titles, they are a whole mood. Man, This Sucks (I Want Beat Mania) is the kind of self-aware humor that makes this series so good.
The N64 hardware gives everything a warm, slightly compressed quality that fits the cartoonish chaos perfectly. Don't be Hit by the Bones for the Gashadokuro fight goes harder than a boss theme in a comedy game has any right to.
If you want proof that game soundtracks can be hilarious and genuinely great at the same time, Goemon never disappoints.
