Episode 97
Ghouls 'N Ghosts is not just the incredible sequel to Ghosts 'N Goblins, but it was also developer Capcom's debut on the Sega Genesis! It was a bold move to bring one of their biggest arcade hits to Nintendo's rival.
The original Ghosts 'N Goblins is notorious for being one of the most difficult video games ever made, but it was also a huge commercial success in both the arcades, and on the NES! The sequel manages to deliver a challenge that will get your blood pumping, but doesn't feel as frustrating as the original game. There are plenty of new weapons and abilities to help you out in this one, and overall it makes the entire experience more enjoyable.
So how did this game get made? In this episode we'll find out, then we'll dive deep into the gameplay where we'll learn:
* The best way to complete EVERY STAGE!
* The SECRET of the TREASURE CHESTS - Where to find them, and when to open them!
* Strategies for completing the more difficult SECOND LOOP!
* SHORTCUTS to get you through difficult areas quickly!
* How to fight a RED GARGOYLE (Red Arremer) and live to tell about!
* TONS of SECRET CODES! Stage Selects, Japanese language mode, and even invincibility!
* HOW to get the ULTIMATE WEAPON!
* Secrets to surviving the MONSTER TONGUES!
* MULTIPLE STRATEGIES for EVERY BOSS, even LOKI himself... AND MORE!

If I ever own only one arcade cabinet in my life, I want this to be the one. This game has an enormous part of my childhood. I would rent the Genesis version multiple times from Blockbuster.
Man, your puppy is growing up fast
Loved this game. One time me and a friend played it for 3 hours, passing the controller back and forth whenever we died. Then we left the Genesis on overnight because we didn't want to have to start over after we had gotten so deep into the game.
The most underrated channel on UA-cam. I don't care what genre you pick, when it was released, or what console it was on. If it's UCBVG I'm going to watch the entire thing. The disciplined timing of weekly uploads, with some of the highest quality content, is a workload most people just arnt capable of. Not to mention two of the most adorable helper pups on UA-cam. For all the hard work you put into our entertainment, thank you sir.
Please remember to take time for yourself whenever needed. Comments are usually family friendly here, so I won't say what I think about anyone who would disagree with that.
edit: 100K is coming up! Hopefully people are getting the word out to support this awesome channel!
I agree and have been saying the same thing for ages bro this mans videos are insanely good its nice to see him hit the 95K subs i imagine within a year he will hit the 1mil
@@eatmyass a million by the end of the year would be QUITE a surge, but I definitely believe this channel will start growing at a faster rate.
@@eatmyass RIP btw Mr. Sagat. Nice to know there are video games in......heaven?
edit: oof sorry. Mr. Saget I mean. Dint mean to disrespect a dead man's name with a misspell.
@@OzymandiasWasRight Nah i ended up in the other place but not for rape.. just heaven was full of self righteous assholes.. also i reckon 1 mil In year is hard but i remember metal gear video and the subs then and the growth and think this pro has it
The discus looks like Arthur is chucking turtles at his enemies.
I ordered the this game from the Sears catalog in early summer in 1989. They gave it to me early. The called and said it was in. It was mid August. I was blown away by this game. I do think the Super Nintendo game is the best in the series, but this is an all-time great.
One of my favorite games. Beat this several times. If I’m having a bad day I love playing through this to cheer me up
I never got into these games, but I loved the spin-off, Gargoyles Quest 1&2 and Demon's Crest for the SNES.
I hope U Can Beat Video Games does those soon.
Welcome Back! Thank you for creating this channel. I look forward to your videos every week. All are well done and I love your commentary.
This one of my favorite Genesis games. It’s the only Ghosts n Goblins franchise game I’ve ever finished but I’ve finished it dozens of times.
When Genesis first came out, it had the pack in game Altered Beast. Not too long after to promote console sales, they started packing in a coupon for a free game among select titles.
I started saving when the Genesis was released and my best friend got one, and by the time I had enough money they were running this promotion.
By this time, my friend had nearly half of the games offered so I grabbed the one of the two he didn’t own that wasn’t a sports game… and that game was Ghouls n Ghosts.
I was so blown away by the graphics and creepy music… being a long time of Castlevania, it was right up my alley.
It was a long time before I completed this game… I remember finishing the first loop and not completing the second because I could never hang onto the required weapon and hitting a point where you couldn’t (or at least I couldn’t figure out) how to proceed without starting a 3rd loop.
By this time, I got distracted by other games… your Sword of Vermillion, Phantasy Star and countless clearings of Streets of Rage.
Right around the time the Sega Saturn was taking a market share turn for the worse… Sega seemed desperate to push units. Toy stores and department stores were discounting Sega Game Gear, Sega Nomad and the Genesis 3 consoles for only $50!!
I bought the Nomad and started playing my old Genesis games before bed, or mornings I didn’t want to get out of bed.
This is when I really out the time and effort into mastering Ghouls n Ghosts. Once I finished it for the first time… I started beating it like once a week to remember all the patterns. I would beat it for friends so they could watch and they were always really impressed because they had all quit thinking the game was impossible.
It was probably the first game people considered “really hard” that I could beat that my friends couldn’t… which only endeared the game to me more.
Man, you sound like the Sega nut I was back in the day too. It's a mixed blessing being a grown adult and having tons of games in my collection now, but back then, I and most of my friends only had 7 or 8 different games each. So, we played our same games again and again till we got really good at them. I did eventually do the 2-loop clear on this game too.
I just started playing this game last week. With your play through the timing couldn't have been better. I'm close to beating round 1 but I'm glad to have your help for round two. Thanks UCBVG.
Lol, I imagine you exhaust yourself yelling & cussing while getting gameplay footage because your always calm & chill while explaining the games! Love your strategy guides, keep up the awesome work!
Have played them all except the newest one. And of those Super Ghouls and Ghost just felt the most incredible. The double jump combined with extra armor and gorgeous graphics just took my breath away and i didn't even mind the series difficulty. I still go back to it even these days.
You gotta try out the new one. It's sooo good.
Played and beat this many times when I was a kid, great game, great music, back then I didn't think it was too hard but I'd probably suck at it now!
The "goodess of battle" gives you her "magic box."
Lovely.
Mance is getting big!!! Lol You finally got him in the ending!!!!! So cute!!!!
This game is a great testament to the genesis’ capabilities: great graphic, color, sound, and control.
Actually, it's a lackluster rendition in terms of graphics due to being a 5meg cart. Someone is redoing all the graphics for this genesis version. Check it out. I'm sure you'll be surprised. BTW, did you know that this version was coded by Yuji Naka? : ) Have a great Sunday.
Ultimate Ghosts 'N Goblins was fantastic! That and Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts were my favorites
Before I start this video, I just need you to know that it's really nice to hear your voice again. I've been stressed for two weeks now! =)
Great guide as always! Didn't get a change to scroll through all of the comments to see if this was already said, but five things:
1. When jumping, firing down makes things a lot easier.
2. When fighting Cerebus (Infernomo), the mini-fireballs that fall down can be easily cancelled by firing your weapon up. (Knife magic makes this fight very quick and easy.)
3. Knife magic (a.k.a. doppelganger) will take out most bosses MUCH faster than Napalm magic.
4. Arthur travels faster horizontally by jumping instead of running. Useful when you're about to get crushed in Stage 3.
5. When Arthur is wearing Magic Armor, the Psycho Blaster erases all single projectiles. Especially useful against Beelzebub.
The original arcade version of this game weighed over 5 megabytes. Yuji Naka was able to pare the entire thing down to 5 megabits (640k) for the Mega Drive home release which is really something.
I've played this enough to make an educated guess that the one thing Naka-san wasn't going to sacrifice when whittling the code down was playability. Everything felt smooth and responsive, with no input latency. If you missed a jump or walked into an enemy hitbox, it was all on the player.
OMG 😱 I can't believe how much 5 megabytes weights! 🤣
Yuji Naka does not get nearly as much credit as he should most of Segas elite get ignored. He should easily be up there with Miyamoto. The dood was a God tier coder in the days when that was insanely difficult and you had no tools to help smooth the process
I really wish they had given him a larger ROM size to work with. The graphical detail is quite compromised in comparison to the arcade version, or even the 8 megabit SuperGrafx port. For the Sega port, they cut the intro, and really had to cut down on the number of unique graphics tiles in the Sega port, to squeeze it into that 5 megabits. This gives the port a rather plain look, even though the Genesis is graphically capable of much more. Gameplay-wise, it really nails it though.
@@homiedclown Yeah, that is so damn true. Look at Golden Axe. It was damn good, but if they had a bigger size cartridge to work with, who knows how much better the earlier arcade to Genesis game ports could have been...
OH MY GOD I BEAT IT!! I followed the guide and beat this damn game! Almost broke my handheld couple times but I damn did it! (cough) I used some save states but I'm counting it.
This was a big deal for me.
"And now for something a little bit different." Love it man! Hope you can do 8 Eyes at some point. Thanks for the excellent videos
Was getting worried about you after not seeing a post for a while, glad to see ya back!
"Or if you're just sick of this game..." lolz
Definitely enjoy your entries, UCBVG. Haven't watched all of them(tbh, some games you play I just don't gaf about), but when you hit on one of my faves, it's always interesting to see what you can teach me(and you have just about every time). Game on, friend!
Oh boy, I really love the Ghouls n Ghosts series of games. Really cool and challenging, but man, whenever I see them I can only remember that death jingle. Thankfully the games have infinite lives (as far as I know)
Keep being amazing as always, my friend!
Thank you again for a great video!!!
Dude, another awesome video! Thanks for all the hard work you do to bring us new content so often! I don't know how you do it. That pup must be magic! Love it!
Love this channel, always look forward to your videos!
Great video, thanks for the excellent breakdown :)
Another great video!
You are a true tough guy. I am always looking forward to seeing you pick up a Cartridge & Put it in like a champ.
Welcome back!!!
Great video!
Welcome back! I waiting for your video like child for xmas XD
Great video, but you missed two secrets:
1. In level two you can shoot the spinning fire windmill, and sparks will fly off.
2. When getting the key at the end of the levels, if you jump towards the key, press up and shoot up as you're getting the key it will say nice catch!
Also, I think you are misunderstanding the ending text, it is in past tense , before the game.
Damn that puppy is getting big....
Glad to have you back. :) Excited to see the Halloween lineup!
Was literally listening to this games soundtrack when I was cooking sauce today prior to knowing you released this video, thanks for making this Sunday even better
Worth the wait! Can’t wait to see what you’ve got prepared for Halloween!
Never was a fan of the GnG series of games but that doesnt mean i wont upvote your hard work man.
I was always a nintendo kid growing up, so it's nice to see what the other side was all about on occasion.
Didn't have this game until I got it for the Wii Virtual Console.
Thanks for what you do. I appreciate weekly vids a lot. The quality shows you care. I do too 😊
Very excited for this one!
This is the only iteration of this game that I've ever played. I'm so excited to watch this video! 💯
Welcome back! Eager for your 100th!
CLASSIC game, looking forward to watching it :)
Loved this one! Thank you for another great episode. Still holding out hope for a Halloween SotN episode.
Another awesome video! I have actually never quite beaten this one, but maybe it's about time I finally do it. Cheers and rock on!
Glad your back
Great vids, dude.
Sweet puppy. Welcome back!
This is my all time favorite old school game, I had no idea there were so many games following the original. I'm trying to play them all if possible... The reason I bought one of those HDMI game sticks is so I can play as many as I can get my grubby hands on
Nice review
I use to pass this game with ease when I was in fifth grade back when it was released. Have not tried for 30 years.
I was a Nintendo loyalist back then, so never seen this game deconstructed. Thanks for the high quality entertainment, as always!
Aw-right! Let’s go!!
Awesome video.
Wow mate amazing channel, new sub here for the great content.
Finally gonna beat some old games thanks to your help.
This GhoulsN Ghosts games are very cool, tried hundreds of times to beat it as a kid, tried a few times a while ago but last level is very hard xD
Thanks a lot mate, keep up the great work, cheers o////
I’d also point point out that this game found its way to the capcom collection on ps2 and you can also select your choice of weapons with the debug cheat I learned that by googling cheats for the game.
And was likewise impressed with the game graphics quality.
I've been waiting on this one for a while
At 36:05, Nice Catch!
Thank you!
I just started working on beating this game for October so its amazing this video dropped
That's my favorite Ghouls 'N Ghosts too. Bring me a lot good memories from the 80's.
This is what i needed today...some enjoyable viewing....
Love your channel, I’ve been watching since Zelda II! Do you post sources for your introduction anywhere? Your intro’s are great and sometimes I want to know a little more. It’s great to watch your subscribers count steadily grow each week, keep it up!
Still a fan of this game after so many years. Challenging and fun.
I love your videos

Best channel of its nature
Hell yes , Ghouls ‘N Ghosts you never cease to amaze me You Can Beat Videogames. One of the hardest, but classic games on the NES and SNES
For me, I enjoyed SUPER Ghouls N Ghosts. The graphics were stunningly beautiful and the sound effects
Your the best man 👍
Welcome back U Can.
I just watched a few let's plays on this game and here you dropping goods ☺️
I've beaten this game a few times, but will never beat ghosts and goblins or the snes version. Love this game. One of the first killer apps for the Genesis.
Snes version you have die many times to get the hang of each level . And there's no save feature smh. But it is very doable. Totally missed me off first time I found out I had to beat the whole game again since I would rent the game every weekend to try n beat it.
Great stuff as always. I hope you get to teach us how to play Alien Soldier someday, never managed to go far in that one.
Love your walkthrough, my good man. Thanks for your generous gift of gameplay and the fun of let’s play voice over, as well as the history lesson of the game’s production and secrets to make retro gaming easier for us retro gaming vets and new comers alike. Hope you get the opportunity to walkthrough The World Famous “Super Ghouls N Ghosts” for the Super NES. Till then, I shall enjoy your walkthrough of this and Ghost N Goblins.
Gamers favorite show is here with a new episode.
I didn’t have a sega genesis as a kid so these videos are extra cool to me as I get to experience these titles for the first time.
Its reminds me arxade Black Tiger. Excellent game. Really hard to beat but here it is now. Thanks
19:46 that was a close call!
Welcome back! How are the doggos?
Now this brings me back. Ghouls 'N Ghosts was the first Genesis game I bought after buying the console itself a week prior. Back then, you didn't have to buy a game right away because consoles already came with one (Altered Beast in this case).
I was looking for the vid when I woke up with ridiculous insomnia, but this timing is 2nd best.
I remember beating that game with a friend, we would take turns playing a level or a life, that was before the cheat codes. Truly one of the best games on the genesis!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Great job on the game. way to nail one of the most frustrating games of all times. It's a good game but hard as Ghost and goblins
Loving the Genesis episodes! I can't wait for Chiki Chiki Boys!
I can hardly wait for the time when you decide to make a video on Demon's Crest. I already watch your videos from start to finish, but Demon's Crest is my favorite game in the Ghosts 'n Goblins series.
Great job once again. Hope you do castlevania 3 next weekend. I’ve been watching your channel from the beginning. Your videos remind of the excitement of reading Nintendo power as a kid. Keep up the good work, brother!
Love the dogs. I can’t wait until the young one dons the headset. Hopefully, he doesn’t get a hold of it and chew it up 😅. What’s the little guy’s’ name?
I did it! Wow Loki was anticlimactic lol. Great game
i like this content here
Loved this game
I have a blast watching these videos. How long do you normally have to practice before you get these really good run?
This Channel blows my mind on a regular basis.
Please tell me that you're using save states and fancy editing tricks for this, otherwise I must hand in my gamer license and admit that I generally suck at games.
Yeah! I love this game. I try to play through it every October. It’s a classic and very fun. None of the slow down of the SNES version, only tight and fast action.
Whaat system do u play this on now?
You got a new sub here. I hope you make at of these.
Welcome back, and I hope you had a great week off. Really excited to see this episode, I've never beaten this game but I always enjoyed playing it, even with those dastardly Red Devils 😵 also Super Metroid is technically a horror game 😏
I agree, but dont agree.
Super metroid has horror elements.. but in my opinion, it is less horror oriented, and more isolation and exploration oriented.
It has the rare jump scared like resident evil, or silent hill, or even the suffering had. Those were made to be horror, and scare the plauer through environment and gameplay.
Metroid was exploritory and anticipatory fear, not the environmental fear developed by games like resident evil, or silent hill.
I agree, but i disagree.
Metroid Fusion has entered the chat…..
I remember playing this on the commodore 64. It is one of the greats.
Can’t help but notice you are getting very very close to 100K subscribers! Any plans to celebrate when you get there?!
