The Goonies is a Konami action-adventure game for the NES based on the 1985 film of the same name. Players control Mikey as he explores caves and underground areas, searching for items, rescuing friends, and evading the Fratelli family. Its blend of platforming, item collection, and hidden passages gives it a tightly focused retro design that helped it stand out among movie tie-in games.

The game uses a side-scrolling action-adventure structure with exploration-heavy stages. Players run, jump, climb ladders, and interact with objects to uncover keys, open doors, and reach new sections. Hidden walls, locked areas, and branching routes make map knowledge important, while enemies and traps force careful movement. Progress depends on finding required items and clearing the correct route through each stage.

Mikey

The main playable character who searches the caves and advances the rescue mission.

The Fratellis

The criminal family that serves as the game’s main antagonistic force.

Learn each stage’s shortcuts, hidden walls, and ladder links early, since efficient navigation matters more than combat. When possible, clear enemies before entering cramped rooms so you can move safely and avoid losing momentum. Save helpful items and extra lives for later stages where the routes become more complex and mistakes are harder to recover from.
