Gameplay


One can choose to play either one of the M.C. Kids, but there is no difference between the two characters other than the fact that one of the youths is white and the other one is black. Up to two players can play the game at once, and both characters can walk, jump, duck, and pick up blocks to throw at enemies as they travel through the seven large worlds of magical McDonald Land.

In a similar format as Super Mario Bros. 3

, the game has seven different worlds. Each one starts out by having the character visit a McDonald Land character. However, unlike games such as Super Mario Bros. 3, simply defeating the various levels is not enough for success as one needs to find the hidden McDonald Land cards that are scattered in a world in order to advance to the next world.

One can collect various McDonald Golden Arches for extra points and, aside from the game's numerous secrets, including a secret level, the game has various objects in the game that one needs to use to advance, i.e., a zipper to enter secret areas, a spin device that turns the level upside down, a boat that can be both ridden in and carried.
