Danan: The Jungle Fighter is an action-adventure platformer released by Sega for the Master System in 1990. Set in a perilous jungle, players control Danan as he battles enemies with his knife and uncovers the mystery of his origins. The game blends traditional side-scrolling combat with light RPG elements, allowing you to discover new weapons and collect experience stars to increase your maximum health as you progress through the timed levels.
How to Play
Guide Danan through the side-scrolling levels, defeating bosses to stop the resurrection of the evil Gilbas. Along the way, collect tokens to summon animal familiarsโan armadillo, eagle, or gorillaโthat assist you in combat or recovery.
- Arrow Keys: Move Danan, climb, or duck
- Z Key: Jump
- X Key: Attack with knife (press repeatedly while swimming to move upward in water)
Tips
- Take time to explore side paths and enter houses to find essential items like knives and health-boosting stars, rather than rushing to the exit.
- Collect nine tokens (monkey faces) to summon the Gorilla familiar; it is the most valuable helper because it replenishes your health.
- When fighting shielded bosses, jump over them to land slashes from behind instead of attacking from the front.
