Duck Tales 2 Guide > Basics

The first DuckTales game was a runaway success. It seemed growing up that it was lurking on shelves around every corner, or in the collections all my friends had. And it was a fun game, the kind I enjoyed playing through repeatedly. So when Capcom released the sequel, I wanted to play it right away. Unfortunately, I didn't get to until many years later, when I found the sequel just wasn't as much fun for me as the original. Perhaps it was the result of nostalgia working unfairly against the second game. In any event, this isn't a review. Instead, it's a walkthrough.

In this guide, the various locations you'll explore throughout the game are examined. You may explore the first locations in any order that suits you, but I'm discussing them in the approximate order that works best for me. Shake things up and approach the game differently, if you like. The world is your oyster.

Note that this game does have multiple endings, just as the first one did. To a certain extent, this is influenced by your amount of money when the game ends. Having no money in the bank is a bad idea. Always pack a safe (they're cheap to purchase from the shop) when you enter levels. That way, you don't lose your wealth when you die. The best ending requires that you have all the pieces of the McDuck map. This guide features the location of each piece (in addition, you can buy some from the store).

Though I am attempting to cover most every secret in the game, you should know that I may miss some things. Hopefully, if that's the case you'll be kind enough to drop me a line and let me know what I've missed, and I can include it later. For now, though, enjoy what's here, and hopefully the guide will help you to enjoy the game even more!
