Capcom's second DuckTales came out in 1993, late enough in the NES's life that few copies were made, and it is now among the more sought-after Capcom cartridges. Scrooge McDuck again pogos on his cane through five stages chosen from a map: Niagara Falls, a pirate ship in the Bermuda Triangle, Mu, Egypt and Scotland, each guarded by a boss. Each one also hides a piece of a treasure map, and collecting all of them unlocks an optional sixth stage containing the lost treasure of McDuck.
The sequel adds new uses for the cane: pulling levers, firing cannons and bouncing off springy flowers. Gyro Gearloose sells cane upgrades that open hidden paths in earlier stages, so revisiting cleared levels is part of the design. A shop between stages sells healing items and extra lives with the money Scrooge collects. Flintheart Glomgold appears as the rival, and the ending changes depending on whether you found the full treasure map and how much money you have left.
Tips for DuckTales 2
Search each stage for its map piece chest; all of them are needed for the extra stage and best ending.
Buy Gyro's cane upgrades, then replay finished stages to reach areas that were blocked before.
Do not spend everything in the shop; an empty purse at the end triggers the bad ending.
