Play Maui Mallard Online
Donald Duck trades his sailor hat for a fedora, pogo-jumping through jungles and switching to a ninja form to chuck shurikens at tiki masks—it’s weird in the best way.
Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow came out on Game Boy in 1996 from Disney Interactive. It was part of that wave of licensed platformers that tried to do something a little different, even on the small screen. You don't see many games where a famous duck becomes a detective who then turns into a ninja.
You control Donald Duck, or rather his alter ego Maui Mallard, as he investigates a curse on a tropical island. The main goal is to explore the island screen by screen, defeating enemies and solving environmental puzzles to progress. Your primary tools are a pogo jump for attacking from above and reaching high platforms, and the ability to transform into a shuriken-throwing ninja, Cold Shadow, to deal with specific enemies and obstacles. The pacing is deliberate, with some tricky platforming sections that demand precision. It feels like a solid, slightly oddball adventure that makes good use of the hardware.
