Hudson’s Adventure Island II is a classic platformer released for the NES in 1991. Playing as Master Higgins, you set out across multiple distinct islands to rescue your girlfriend from the Evil Witch Doctor. This sequel improves upon the challenging original by introducing an inventory system that lets you store items between stages, as well as four unique dinosaur companions you can rideโeach offering different abilities like flying or swimming in lava to help you navigate the tricky terrain.
How to Play
Navigate the levels while managing your constantly depleting energy meter, which you replenish by collecting fruit. Use the default NES controls in your browser: the Arrow Keys to move, Z (or A) to jump, and X (or B) to attack or hold to run faster. Press Enter for Start and Shift for Select.
Tips
- Your dinosaur companions are invaluable but fragile; if you’re about to take a hit, you will lose the dinosaur instead of a life.
- Keep a close eye on your energy meter! If there are no enemies around, rush forward to find more fruit before time runs out.
- Save your skateboards for easier, straightforward levels, as they force you to constantly move forward and can be dangerous in tricky platforming sections.
