"Goonies" not-sequels

There's never been a true sequel to beloved 1985 adventure-comedy flick "The Goonies". I doubt there ever will be, unless it's done as a cartoon. However, there have been not-sequels. Here are just a few...

Best known, of course, is the old Konami videogame boldly, incorrectly titled "The Goonies II". It sees Mikey having to rescue the rest of the gang, plus a mermaid(!) named Annie.

Podcast "Seen The Sequel?" presented their idea for a follow-up in a 2020 episode. They suggested the same actors could play adult versions of their characters, searching for Mikey, who has gone missing while obsessively tracking One-Eyed Willy's pirate ship, Inferno. I won't reveal any more as it's quite a fun listen.

Then there's the "Under The Goondocks" expansion for Funko's boardgame based on "The Goonies". I own the latter but not yet the former. Anyway, this continuation has Andy, Brand and Stef racing spoilt rich kid Troy to the unclaimed treasures in the cavern network beneath Astoria - and reportedly meeting new foes.
