Released in 1995 at the height of the 16-bit era, Go Go Ackman 3 stands as the definitive conclusion to the beloved trilogy on the Super Famicom. Developed by Aspect and published by Banpresto, this Japanese exclusive—known natively as ゴーゴーアックマン3—is a vibrant testament to the creative genius of Akira Toriyama. Toriyama, the legendary mangaka behind Dragon Ball, Chrono Trigger, and Dragon Quest, lent his signature art style and character designs to the series, ensuring that the game looked like a living manga. As the final entry in the series for Nintendo's 16-bit powerhouse, it polished the mechanics of its predecessors while introducing game-changing narrative and mechanical twists that delighted fans of the character.
The narrative of Go Go Ackman 3 continues the misadventures of Ackman, a 200-year-old demon child whose primary purpose is to harvest souls for the Great Demon King. Throughout the series, Ackman has been perpetually annoyed by his arch-nemesis, Tenshi-kun, a halo-wearing angel who is ostensibly tasked with stopping Ackman’s evil deeds but often proves to be spectacularly incompetent. However, this third installment shakes up the established formula. Instead of being purely at odds, the two rivals find themselves in a situation where they must work together. The world is rendered in Toriyama’s iconic aesthetic, filled with whimsical monsters, futuristic vehicles, and expressive characters that bridge the gap between supernatural horror and slapstick comedy.
At its core, Go Go Ackman 3 is a fast-paced side-scrolling action-platformer. Players navigate through various stages filled with traps, platforming challenges, and a wide array of enemies. Ackman remains a versatile combatant, utilizing a sword for close-range strikes, a pistol for ranged attacks, and bombs for heavy damage. The most significant addition to this entry is that Tenshi-kun is finally a playable character. This adds a layer of variety to the gameplay, as Tenshi possesses his own unique movement and combat style.
There is, however, a critical mechanical distinction between the two: the soul collection system. As a demon, Ackman earns points and power-ups by collecting the souls of defeated enemies. Tenshi, being an angel of heaven, will not collect souls. This creates a strategic choice for the player, balancing the offensive capabilities of the characters against the resource management of soul collection. The boss battles remain a highlight of the experience, requiring players to memorize patterns and utilize the combined strengths of the demon-angel duo to overcome increasingly bizarre mechanical and magical foes.
This game was released as a Japanese exclusive for the Super Famicom during the latter half of the console's lifecycle, making it a sought-after title for collectors of import gaming history.
Go Go Ackman 3 is remembered fondly as the swan song of the franchise on the Super Famicom. While the series did not see an official Western release, it gained a significant following through the import market and, later, the fan translation community. The game is often cited as one of the best examples of a licensed property done right, capturing the humor and visual flair of Akira Toriyama’s work perfectly. Its blend of tight platforming and unique character swapping influenced many future action titles, and it remains a high-water mark for the collaboration between Aspect and Banpresto.
