Donald in Maui Mallard/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Awesome Music: The whole soundtrack. The SNES version loses some points for lacking the boss theme though, but makes up for it with its exclusive Flying Duckman music.
    • The PC version uses redbook audio, allowing for a totally awesome orchestral version of the score! Provided by none other than Michael Giacchino!
  • Breather Level: The Test of Duckhood appears after a Rise to the Challenge level. It's also the most upbeat level in the game.
  • Goddamned Bats: The SNES version has the flame enemies in the volcano level, and the zombies in the land of the dead. Every time you hit them (gun or staff, doesn't matter), a homing flame/bone will fly out of them and hit you in the face for a good amount of damage.
  • No Problem with Licensed Games: Darker and Edgier makeovers of classic cartoons don't often work very smoothly, but Maui Mallard is well regarded by fans both in aesthetics and gameplay. So much could've gone wrong with this game, and yet the players' biggest regret is how nothing more came out of it.
  • Older Than They Think: Donald Duck has been dealing with ghosts, zombies and pirates for years in the comics, and many old stories actually show him grab a shotgun (loaded with rock salt).
  • That One Level: People apparently hate The Flying Duckman and The Realm of the Dead.
