Maui Mallard In Cold Shadow is a platformer released in 1996 for the Super Nintendo. Players control Maui Mallard, a detective duck who can switch between two distinct forms: a regular mallard and a ninja-like shadow form. The main objective is to navigate through various levels, defeat enemies, and solve puzzles to uncover the mystery behind the game's storyline.
The game's pace alternates between fast platforming segments and more methodical exploration phases. A unique mechanic allows players to transform between the two forms, each offering different abilities—Maui Mallard excels in ranged attacks with his gun, while Cold Shadow uses stealth and close-combat moves. This duality adds depth and variety to the gameplay experience.
One distinctive feature of Maui Mallard In Cold Shadow is its blend of lighthearted cartoon visuals with ninja-themed gameplay elements. The levels combine traditional platforming challenges with moments that require strategic use of the character’s two forms, making it stand out from other platformers on the Super Nintendo.
