DuckTales 2 is a classic platformer released for the NES in 1993 by Capcom. Players once again control Scrooge McDuck as he travels the globe in search of the lost pieces of the McDuck family treasure. Building upon the beloved mechanics of the first game, this sequel introduces new pogo stick abilities, hidden areas, and enhanced graphics while maintaining the tight controls and memorable chiptune soundtrack of its predecessor.
How to Play
Use the D-pad (mapped to your arrow keys) to move and navigate menus. Press A (usually Z or X) to jump and B to swing Scrooge’s cane at objects. To perform the iconic pogo jump, jump into the air and press B to bounce off enemies and access higher areas. Start (Enter) pauses the game, and Select (Shift) can be used on menu screens.
Tips
- Practice the pogo jump early on; mastering it is essential for crossing large gaps and defeating most enemies safely.
- Revisit previous levels after upgrading Scrooge’s cane, as new abilities allow you to access hidden treasures and alternate paths you couldn’t reach before.
- Keep an eye out for hidden walls and false floorsโstriking them with your golf swing (B while standing next to a block) often reveals secret items or money.
