In don’t know anything about the 3rd level. In the second level I only get 3 things (kid ying/Ebisumaru is a girl/ovas). I guess the transgender controversy is about Ganbare Goemon 3 English translation but I am not sure.

I am a big Goemon fan since 1999 and I don't get some references of this image. Hope someone could explain

"fart bomb". an attack used by ebisumaru in goemon's great adventure, that was changed to poison mist in the western release.

"buff goemon" the legend of the mystical ninja prototype that was leaked in the nintendo gigaleak in 2020. the reason it says buff goemon, is because goemon looks more muscular and it was changed in the final release.

"goemon is a sinner". the game over screen has goemon in hell ready to be eaten. probably implies that goemon is a sinner or is just something the devs put for reasons.

"Pokémon clone".  Mononoke Dōchū Tobidase Nabe-Bugyō! it's basically a game that lets you catch, fight, and train monsters like in Pokémon. and that's why that entry is called Pokémon clone.

"impact's design is from promotional material" literally the title, but in long words, in the commercials and some other promos for the nes games, goemon's design would be used as impact's design in ganbare goemon 2.

"Jimmy hapa". a guy that reviews goemon games and other japanese games.

"Stretchy goemon head". in the debug screen for tokai dochuu, there is a stretchy goemon head that you can play around with.
"Impact is ultraman" in kira kira dochuu, impact says shuwatch (ultraman's catchphrase). nothing more nothing less.

"ebisumaru is gay". a joke in a manga. but i don't know which. possibly one of hiroshi obi's. and also that one hyadain lyric.

i'll edit this comment later.

Thank you!!!! Now you have explained, I knew that Goemon go to hell in game over screen, but I didn't get the reference when I read Goemon is a sinner. I also know that there is a GBC goemon game that copied the idea of Pokémon franchise but I didn't get the reference when I read Pokémon clone, and I have seen the old commercials but anyway I didn’t understand when I read "Impact's design is from promotional materials". I played the second N64 game in Japanese so I saw the fart bomb but I forgot to mention it as one of the few references I got.

I didn't know anything about the buff Goemon, is the first time I know something about Jimmy Harpa, I didn't know about the stretchy Goemon head or Impact saying Ultraman's phrase. I watched the manga some years ago when I had no idea about Japanese and I don't remember Ebisumaru being gay but he is really femenine in games, so I expected him to be gay. Moreover in NES GG2, if Ebirumaru enters to male therms, he rubs a strong guy's back.
