Adventure Island II — About this game
Four dinosaur companions change how Higgins crosses each stretch of the archipelago. The blue land dinosaur whips its tail, the red one breathes fire, the pterosaur flies and drops rocks, and the aquatic companion makes underwater travel easier. Land riders are not a substitute for the swimmer, so choosing the right companion before a stage matters. An item screen lets you store equipment that is not needed and take saved axes or mounts into a later area. Fruit, meat and milk keep the draining vitality meter supplied; an eggplant makes it empty faster. Hidden eggs can reveal bonus rooms, shortcuts or useful items, while each island ends with a boss. Ordinary Continue restarts the current island and empties stored equipment. Find the hidden Hudson Bee to use Left plus START when continuing and retain the inventory. This is a single-player journey through separate stages, not a two-rider cooperative game.
