Donald Duck Walkthrough (Famicom) By Justin Ridenour aka Rolent X 9/16/00 Version 0.1 E-mail: RolentoHeat@aol.com Copyright 2000 by Justin Ridenour. This document may not be reprinted elsewhere without the written permission of the author. Donald Duck for the Famicom is not like the Disney platform games produced by Capcom. Donald, Daisy, and his nephews compete in an olympics type event. There are six different events that you can take place in. You can practice them separately or all in a row, by yourself, or against another player. Since this is not a regular game, I will not give a full walkthrough of it, but just give you tips on how to get the best times and distances in the events. The six events that take place are the Sack Race, the Boot Throw, the Pogo Jump, the Gondola, the Pizza Relay, and the Pole Jump. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Sack Race ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You must hop across the road while in a sack. Don't jump until the balloon at the top of the screen explodes. You must avoid the opening manholes along the way while racing against Daisy or a second player. To easily win this race, don't take a lot of rapid jumps. Instead, take long jumps and only jump again when you touch the ground. Watch out from behind because if you opponent jumps on you from behind, you will get knocked out of the race for a few seconds. If you get too far ahead, one of your nephews will help Daisy cheat. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Boot Throw ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this competition, you must swing a boot as fast as you can and throw it as far as possible. To swing it, rapidly push the control pad in one direction and press A to throw. To get a good angle, throw the boot when it is a little above 30 degrees to your right. If you throw it too high, it will just go straight up and back down. If you throw it too low, it will just hit the ground. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Pogo Jump ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this competition, you must use your pogo stick to jump over walls. You must be careful not to jump to early or too late or you will fall down. My advice is to jump two steps before the wall or you will hit it. There are only four walls in the event, but it's a pain if you don't make a good jump. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Gondola ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this event, you and Daisy battle on a gondola trying to push each other into the water. There is a meter at the top of the screen and you must push your opponent until their arrow reaches the red area. Quickly charge Daisy and start pushing her. If you're quick, you can knock her in the water in only a couple hits. (I managed to do it in 3 seconds.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pizza Relay ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this event, you must run to a race while carrying a stack of pizzas. If you run too fast you will drop some. To get them all across, walk, don't run. Walk a couple feet, wait till the pizzas become still again, and start walking again. It takes a little bit of time to do it this way, but you'll get all of the pizzas across if you do it right. You can haul butt across the road to the finish line, but you'll only get four pizzas across. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pole Jump ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You must use your pole to jump across a lake in this event. Run as fast as possible and plant your pole as close to the edge of the water as you can. It's very tricky to do this just right. Test the water to see how far you can go before falling in and try to plant it right there to get across.
