The Legend of the Mystical Ninja is an action-adventure game released by Konami for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991. It was also ported to the Game Boy Advance along with Ganbare Goemon 2: Kiteretsu Shōgun McGuiness only in Japan.
It is the first game in the Japanese video game series Ganbare Goemon to have a western release and the fifth mainline game overall. It has also been released for the Wii Virtual Console in 2007, Wii U Virtual Console in 2013 (2014 in Europe and Australia), and the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console in 2016. In North America and Europe, this game was followed by two different games for Nintendo 64, Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon in 1998 and Goemon's Great Adventure (known in Europe as Mystical Ninja 2 Starring Goemon) in 1999, as all subsequent releases for the Super NES were absent of a Western release. In Europe, two Game Boy versions of Mystical Ninja starring Goemon were released. One was a standalone game and the other was part of Konami GB Collection Vol. 3.
