Disney’s DuckTales is a 1989 NES platformer developed and published by Capcom, based on the Disney animated series of the same name. You play as Scrooge McDuck, travelling across five open-order worlds — Transylvania, the Amazon, African Mines, the Himalayas, and the Moon — collecting treasures to build the world’s greatest fortune.

How to play

Move with the arrow keys. Press X to jump and Z to use Scrooge’s cane. The signature move is the pogo: hold ↓ and press Z while airborne to bounce safely on enemies and certain terrain. Enter opens the pause menu; Shift is Select.

Tips

Use the pogo for almost every enemy encounter — dropping onto them with ↓ + Z in the air is faster and safer than swinging the cane at ground level.
The five worlds are free-order. Clearing each stage fully before moving on pays off: hidden gem caches add to your score and some grant health pickups.
The Moon stage has the most demanding platforming. Its long jump arcs and sparse platforms punish mistakes, so get your pogo timing dialled in on the easier stages first.
