Duck Tales 2 is a classic platformer developed by Capcom, released for the NES in 1993. As the sequel to one of the most beloved games on the system, it brings back Scrooge McDuck on a globe-trotting adventure to assemble the lost pieces of the McDuck family treasure. The game builds upon the original’s solid foundation, offering refined controls, hidden areas, and an upgraded cane mechanic that allows Scrooge to interact with more objects in the environment.
How to Play
Your objective is to guide Scrooge through various worldwide locationsโfrom Niagara Falls to Egyptโcollecting treasure, discovering secrets, and defeating bosses. Use the D-pad (mapped to arrow keys) to move and duck. Press the A button (Z key) to jump, and the B button (X key) to swing your cane at objects or enemies. To perform Scrooge’s signature pogo jump, press and hold the B button (X key) while in the air to bounce off enemies and perilous spikes. Press Start (Enter) to pause and Select (Shift) to choose items.
Tips
- Upgrade the Cane: Look for Gyro Gearloose hidden in the levels. He provides essential cane upgrades that let you pull heavy blocks or break solid walls, allowing access to secret areas.
- Explore Thoroughly: The levels are filled with hidden passages and invisible treasure chests. Use your golf swing (B button next to an object) to launch blocks at walls and reveal secrets.
- Collect the Map Pieces: There are hidden map pieces scattered across the stages. Finding all of them unlocks an extra secret level with more treasure.
