The Goonies (video game)/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Manual Misprint: The second game's manual claims that the B button is not used in "Adventure Scenes", the game's first-person mode inside the rooms. In fact, the B button is used to access the second page of the item menu, where the Glasses and Wet Suit commands are.
  • No Export for You: The first Goonies NES game was only released for home markets in Japan. In America, it was available on Playchoice-10 arcade machines, but never as a cartridge.
  • Real Song Theme Tune: The main theme that plays throughout most of the game is a simplified rendition of "The Goonies R Good Enough" by Cyndi Lauper.
    • Furthermore, this particular rendition was given a remix and used in one of the Pop'n music games.
