DuckTales 2 is an action platformer video game produced by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Released in 1993, the game is a sequel to the acclaimed DuckTales game and sees the return of Scrooge McDuck on a global quest for treasure. Operating from his incredibly hefty money bin, McDuck jumps, swings, and bounces his way across various landscapes, including a Scottish castle, a pirate ship, and the pyramids of Egypt. The player can control McDuck as he uses his cane to attack enemies and dive into his money bin to gain extra points. The game features non-linear gameplay, allowing players to revisit completed levels to discover new paths and secret treasures.

While not as commercially successful as its predecessor, DuckTales 2 is praised for its solid gameplay mechanics, charming graphics, and memorable soundtrack. Its exploration-based style influenced later platformer games and introduced added depth and replayability to the genre, something that was not commonly seen in the 8-bit era. Moreover, the inclusion of collectible items and hidden treasures provided an added dimension to the gameplay. Despite its lower commercial success, the game is regarded as a classic and is one of the highlights in the NES library. After its original release, DuckTales 2 was later bundled with other classic Disney games in the Disney Afternoon Collection, further cementing its place in gaming history.
