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.
