Play Donald Duck no Maui Mallard (Japan) Online

Donald Duck no Maui Mallard came out for the Super Nintendo in 1996, published by Disney Interactive. It was one of those late-era SNES platformers that tried to squeeze a little more life out of the hardware, with detailed sprites and a tropical island theme that felt a bit different from the usual Disney fare.

You control Donald, who’s dressed like an adventurer and explores levels screen by screen, using a bo staff to whack enemies and break blocks. The main goal is to navigate through jungles, temples, and beaches, collecting golden ducks to unlock new areas. The game mixes combat with light puzzle solving and some tricky platforming; the pacing is brisk, but the difficulty can spike unexpectedly in later stages. It feels like a slightly offbeat, energetic Disney title that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
