The European and Brazilian versions for Mega Drive have dozens of gameplay differences, both graphical (some sprites were added or changed, for example, dust appeared under Maui's feet) and software (bugs fixed, all passwords changed, etc.). The original game was not released on Genesis in North America, because Disney Interactive was not a publisher in the console games market at that time and it did not have a North American publishing partner to release the game there. The Mega Drive version was released in Brazil and Europe, while the Genesis version was only available on the Sega Channel in North America. It was ported one last time to the Game Boy by Bonsai Entertainment Corp., released in North America in August 1998. A Microsoft Windows port was released in North America in November 1996. It was also ported by Eurocom Entertainment Software to the SNES and released in North America in January 1997, in Europe mostly in autumn 1996 (although the SNES version was released in Germany at the end of 1995 ), and in Japan on December 20, 1996. The game was released in Europe on December 8, 1995, and in Brazil in spring 1997 for the Sega Mega Drive. There are three buttons, A, B and C, which are CONTROL, ALT/OPTION and SPACE.Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow – originally released as Donald in Maui Mallard – is a platforming video game developed and published by Disney Interactive Studios. Use Arrow Keys to move up, left, right and down. The level layout in the Game Boy version is slightly different with less secrets to be found. You'll need to constantly find Yin-Yang coins to fuel your Ninja persona, otherwise you'll run out and transform back to Maui Mallard. He can also hook onto duck heads and swing from them to reach areas he normally couldn't. In addition to being handy for whacking enemies, Ninja Maui can also climb between walls by jumping and propping the staff between the walls at the height of his jump. Ninja Maui has lightning-quick reflexes, and wields a bo staff. Once Maui starts to find Yin-Yang coins, he'll be able to transform into Ninja Maui. It's also possible for Maui to combine bugs to pack a more powerful blast at his enemies. Normal Maui carries a bug gun, which can fire a variety of different insect ammo, from basic bugs, to the more powerful lightning and fire bugs.

Early on, Maui can also switch between his normal self and Ninja Maui, and with all the creepy voodoo enemies he'll encounter throughout his adventure, he's going to need all the help he can get.Īs previously mentioned, there are two personalities to Maui, and as a result, two different sets of controls. As the detective Maui Mallard, he's on the trail of a long lost Idol, which has recently vanished. Disney's Donald Duck takes the starring role in this sidescrolling platform game.
