The game was critically acclaimed. Computer and Video Games described the game as original, challenging and large, and as one of the best games released on the SNES that year.[3] Edge described the game as taking "all the best bits from the [[original" and simplifying them, thus mitigating the criticisms levelled at the prequel for being too sprawling and open. It summarised the game as blending "brilliant graphics, great sound and near perfect playability into one explosive package."[2] According to Peer Schneider of IGN in a retrospective, "Goemon 2 is the best co-op platformer on the Super NES", and had critical success in Japan.[5]
Sequels
Two further sequels were released for the Super Famicom: Ganbare Goemon 3: Shishijyūrokubei no Karakuri Manji Katame, and Ganbare Goemon Kirakira Douchū: Boku ga Dancer ni Natta Wake both in 1994.
