Another blog, another Capcom game! Fortunately for us, it's one of those Disney licenses done right!
The Himalayas
There are five levels you can choose from at the start. We're starting with The Himalayas because that's exactly what brick is doing.
To attack enemies, press Down while in mid-air so you can land on them cane-first. Then, take the treasure they leave behind! You'll need to get money to get the best ending! You also have a golf swing that you can use to push blocks around as well as break some of them. Just move into a block, hold forward on the D-Pad and press B. That's all there is to it.
When you attack or move into certain spots, you'll find some hidden treasure chests. Hit them to break them open and find even more treasure!
Scrooge McDuck dolls give you extra lives. You won't find them a lot, but when you find one, go for it.
Collect ice cream and other foods to refill your life. You have three hits, so be careful!
As you move through the worlds, you'll meet other characters from the show. They give you hints as to what to do in the level. They don't say very much, mostly because they're relegated to three lines of screen space (usually).
Once you're underground, watch out for icicles that fall from the ceiling. As you move around, you'll find that using the pogo stick attack also helps you jump higher than usual. You'll definitely want to make use of that, since you're going to be using it the entire game.
When you find Bubba the Caveman encased in ice, move the steel can to the left wall so you can pogo into him. He'll open up a wall which contains a chest. Inside is a little starburst shaped item, which gives you an additional hit on your health meter.
There are a few secret areas here. One of them involves pogoing into the air and jumping through the gaps in the ceiling, while another involves pogoing left off of a Beagle Boy and pushing those steel cans away. The first one contains an extra life if you jump all the way to the left.
The hockey ducks knock blocks into you, with their hockey swing acting like your golf swing. After that, they're pretty easy to deal with. The spiders are just annoying and get in your path unless you jump low, and the bunnies are just vanilla enemies. Ditto for the Beagle Boys.
Move out of the way of the boulder as you climb the rope.
If you talk to Launchpad, you can go back to Duckberg and choose another level. If you select Yes and you have a 7 in the ten-thousandth place of the amount of money you've collected in the level, you'll get a bonus level before you return to the level select screen. Here, you'll be moving to the left as Gyro Gearloose flies in that direction and drops gems for you to pick up. You won't get a lot of money if you collect all the gems, but it's still something.
The boss here is the yeti. To beat him, hit him in the head with the pogo attack and avoid the snowballs that come down when he punches the wall before hitting him again. He's pretty easy. He'll go down after five hits, like all the other bosses.
When you beat a boss, you'll get a treasure chest. Open it up and you'll find a treasure unique to that level - in this case, it's a crown that's worth $1000000. You'll also get money for every second you have left on the clock.
