While powerful I will admit for most of the game I almost forgot there was more than one shot as they were not necessary. These can be combined to create a super shot although it drains ammo fast. The normal shot is not powerful but the heat seeking and firebugs pack a punch. His default weapon is a bug gun that uses different insects as ammo. Maui is clearly patterned after Tom Selleck in his Magnum PI guise. There are two aspects to Maui Mallard’s gameplay. That is a damn shame as Maui Mallard is a great game and could have been exceptional with a sequel. Maybe they were happy with the way the game turned out? Whatever the reason it ultimately doomed the game and any further plans to continue the series. If it was to establish that this was a different character it was pointless as it is clearly Donald. One of the oddest decisions regarding Maui Mallard is the decision to avoid referring to Donald Duck by name in its marketing and in game. His job is to help recover the Shabuhm Shabuhm idol for the inhabitants of a tropical island before its disappearance causes the island to explode. Maui Mallard stars Donald Duck as the titular detective.

This late release was the first title from Disney Interactive Studios and largely upheld the winning streak of Disney licensed titles during the 16-bit era. If Mickey can plaster his mug all over the place why not the Donald? One of the most surprising titles for the SNES was Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow. His batting average is pretty good all things considered, from Quackshot to PK: Out of the Shadows. Developer: Disney Interactive Publisher: Disney Interactive Released: November 1996 Genre: Actionįor as popular as Donald Duck is it is surprising that he has not starred in more video games.
