Play Wai Wai World 2 Online
Pick Konami's weirdest characters, then jump between Castlevania-style platforming and Gradius-style shooting in the same level—somehow it clicks when you swap heroes mid-fight.
Wai Wai World 2 came out for the NES in 1991, developed and published by Konami. It arrived late in the console's life, when developers were pushing the hardware in creative ways. This game stands out because it pulls characters from several Konami franchises, like Castlevania and Gradius, and puts them all in one adventure.
You control a team of heroes, switching between them on the fly to use their unique abilities. Your goal is to explore side scrolling stages, defeat enemies, and gather key items to progress. The main mechanics involve swapping characters to overcome specific obstacles; for example, you might use Simon Belmont's whip to swing across gaps, then switch to Goemon for his pipe attack in tight spaces. The pace is brisk, and the difficulty can spike without warning, especially during shooter segments. It feels chaotic but satisfying when your quick character changes pay off.
