DuckTales 2 is a 1993 video game produced by Capcom, based on the TV Series DuckTales, and is a sequel to the original DuckTales game.

Plot

In the game Scrooge McDuck has to find Fergus McDuck's lost treasure. This is done by finding all seven of map pieces, which are in various parts of the world. Scrooge travels to Niagara Falls, the Bermuda Triangle, Mu, Egypt and Scotland. Each of these places contains one of the map pieces and a boss. After all five bosses are defeated, whether the lost treasure is recovered or not, Webby is kidnapped by Flintheart Glomgold, prompting a boss fight that ends the game.

Gameplay

Gameplay is virtually identical to the original game as the controls are almost exactly the same. The only difference is that the player only needs to hold the B button to do a cane bounce rather than holding the down button additionally. Locating all seven map pieces is not required to complete the game but is rather, a side-mission that will allow the player access to a new level when all the map pieces are collected. Like its predessor, Duck Tales 2 is non-linear and allows the player to choose and complete all levels in any particular order. The player can also return to a level that has already been completed, unlike the first game. In addition, inventory items can be achieved that will grant the player access to new and hidden areas in each level. When a level is completed, the player has the option to purchase recovery items, extra lives, and other such items using any money the player has collected.

Notes

Duck Tales 2 was not nearly as successful, popular, or widely acclaimed like the first game that was released in 1989 because by 1993, consumers were already focused on the 16-bit machines of that time and the NES was in its twilight. The game, not having sold very well, is exceptionally rare.^[1] The Gameboy port, however, was very successful as it sold over a million copies, becoming a Player's Choice game. This is probably because the Game Boy's successor, the Game Boy Color, was still five years away.
