QuackShot Starring Donald Duck, called Quackshot: I Love Donald Duck: Guruzia Ou no Hihou or just I Love Donald Duck: Guruzia Ou no Hihou (アイラブドナルドダック グルジア王の秘宝) in Japan, is a platform game released for the Sega Mega Drive in 1991. It is part of the series of Disney games Sega were allowed to publish for their console during the early 1990s.

Its 8-bit counterpart is The Lucky Dime Caper, released for the Sega Master System and Game Gear in the same year.

Story

While Donald is flipping through some books in Scrooge McDuck's library, a map falls out of a book relating to the treasure of King Garuzia, ruler of the Great Duck Kingdom in ancient times. The map leads to the location of the king's most prized possession, hidden in a secret place shortly before his death. Donald thinks this is his path to riches. Unfortunately, Big Bad Pete overhears and pursues Donald throughout the game hoping to steal the treasure.

Gameplay

In the game the player controls Donald Duck, who travels across the world looking for treasure. C jumps, Down+C slides, B fires the weapon, and holding A while moving makes Donald run.

Donald is equipped with three firearms: a plunger gun (stuns enemies), a popcorn shooter (spreadshot), and a bubble shot (can dissolve concrete and ice blocks in certain levels). The plunger gun has infinite ammunition, but the other two weapons must be reloaded with item pick-ups. While the initial yellow plunger can only stun enemies. Later in the game, Donald acquires red plungers that can also stick to walls and ceilings and green plungers that can stick to birds and carry him over expanses.

Collecting chili peppers increases Donald's "temper." After collecting five peppers, Donald engages his "Quack Attack," granting temporary invincibility.

The game is partially non-linear and requires backtracking at several points. Special tools like the above mentioned weapons or other items need to be collected and used in order to fully explore and clear stages.

History

Release

Two versions of the game exist, with the later ROM being considerably larger than the former due to a large block of padding added in the middle for unknown reasons.

Legacy

In Japan, Quackshot was bundled with Castle of Illusion in Sega Ages I Love Mickey Mouse: Fushigi no Oshiro Daibouken/I Love Donald Duck: Guruzia Ou no Hihou for the Sega Saturn. A compilation of the two was also available in the form of The Disney Collection.
