~Ghosts Goblins~(Makaimura) "Red Arremer" is a notorious enemy, knockback can be frustrating

• Ghosts 'n Goblins is a side-scrolling action game where the knight Arthur rescues a kidnapped princess from the Great Demon King.

• Arthur travels through a monster-filled world wearing only underwear beneath his armor to save his lover from the clutches of evil.

• Red Arremer is a notorious enemy named after a programmer; its reactive AI makes it one of the toughest "walls" in gaming history.

• Arthur starts in armor, loses it after one hit, and dies on the second; armor can be recovered by clearing stages or finding rare items.

• Jumping has a fixed trajectory with no mid-air control, requiring players to memorize enemy patterns and plan moves precisely.

• To see the true ending, players must beat the game twice, as the first victory is revealed as an illusion created by the enemy.

• In overseas versions, the Cross weapon was replaced with a Shield due to religious regulations regarding iconography.

• While the stiff controls and knockback can be frustrating, the game's balanced design offers an immense sense of accomplishment.

• Progressing to the final boss requires the Cross weapon, but obtaining it is often luck-dependent as it drops randomly from pots.

• The game spawned many sequels and spin-offs, including the Red Arremer series, and Arthur remains an iconic character for Capcom.
