One of the most frequently cited followers to [[No Problem With Licensed Games (Sugar Wiki)|No Problem With Licensed Games]] and one of the most widely-beloved platformers on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]], '''''[[Duck TalesDuckTales (Animation1987)|Duck Tales]]''''' was released in 1989 and developed by [[Capcom]], the same team responsible for the [[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Mega Man]] franchise, as another product of their licensing deal with Disney. As such, it's no coincidence that ''DuckTales'' shares many of the defining features of the Mega Man games: Unique gameplay mechanics, nonlinear level selection and incredibly catchy music.
 
The story is [[Excuse Plot|barely even there]]: Scrooge wants to gather even more treasure to further solidify his status as the richest duck in the world, while also seeking out the Five Lost Treasures scattered all over the world. Scrooge's adventures lead him from the Amazon rainforest and a Transylvanian castle, to the Himalayan mountains and all the way to the Moon.

=== Both of these games give examples of: ===
 
* [[Bottomless Pits]]: Often found.
* [[Cane Fu]]: Mostly you attack others by jumping with it and it also doubles as a pogo stick. Sometimes, it can be used to hit and pull objects.
Line 35:
* [[Money Spider]]: Enemies will often drop diamonds or [[Impossible Item Drop|ice creams]] when defeated.
* [[Multiple Endings]]: Both games change their respective endings depending on how much money the player collected and whether or not they found the secret treasures. The first game in particular has unique endings depending on whether the player finished with over $10,000,000, no money at all, or anywhere in between.
* [[One 1-Up]]: One of the items you can find.
* [[Rewarding Vandalism]]: You don't open treasure chests, you destroy them.
* [[Sidetrack Bonus]]: Secret treasures can be found that way. Alcoves are also prone to contain treasure.

Line 77:
* [[Gang Plank Galleon]]: Bermuda.
* [[Gotta Catch Them All]]: Map pieces.
* [[Helping Hands]]: In Scotland, holding lanterns, though unless you're using them as [[Goomba Springboard|Goomba Springboards]]s, they're anything but helpful.
* [[Mineral MacGuffin]]: The secret treasure. Strangely, it's worth the same amount as the other end of the level and secret treasures.
* [[Quicksand Sucks]]: In Egypt.
