tonmasterboy not every platformer is a metroidvania, but they've become incredibly popular in recent years. they're defined by the mechanic of progressing through locked areas by obtaining items and new features,generally with big sprawling levels that require backtracking and solving puzzles to progress. quackshot was definitely an early metroid clone, and it's awesome. but there's lots of platformers that aren't like metroid at all, cuphead, meat boy, 20xx, etc.
Wow I just realize that Quackshot is consider to be "Metroidvania" until someone said it because its true. That's why I love explorative plaformers as a kid & still do now. But I despise it called Metroidvania.
I absolutely loved Quackshot and still do. This, Castle of Illusion and World of Illusion were brilliant in every way. Devs really need to remake Quackshot. I'd love that. I love all the music in Quackshot but my favourites are South Pole, Boss Theme, Transylvania and the Final Boss theme.
i was a small kid when i was playing it… the ghosts, the moving walls and the chilling soundtrack was so frightning man… it even gives me a chill today, but in a good way haha
@@303Smilezzz As a fan of the Genesis I disagree on facts. The Super Nintendo's sound was a lot clearer and had more range. Though a lot had that echoey sound it did a lot that the Genesis couldn't. You can do a comparison on games that were on both systems. Super Street Fighter 2 is very noticeably bad sounding on Genesis.
@@Kingdom_Heart Here are some facts on the specs of each chip. "The Mega Drive's Yamaha YM7101 VDP has a fast DMA controller that can stream CD-quality 44 kHz sound samples directly from the ROM cartridge, treating it like a large extended RAM. The Mega Drive can then play those samples through the Yamaha YM2612 sound chip's PCM sampling channel which is capable of 52 kHz audio output. The SNES can't stream from the cartridge because of its slow DMA controller, so it needs to copy heavily compressed PCM samples from the ROM cartridge to fit into its limited 64 KB RAM space. The SNES then plays those samples through its Sony SPC sound chip, which has a limited 32 kHz audio output. ...That's how the Mega Drive is capable of playing CD-quality samples, which the SNES is incapable of doing. In addition to being capable of higher-quality sampling, the Mega Drive is also capable of FM synthesis, which the SNES is also incapable of. The Mega Drive is also capable of deeper and clearer bass, whereas the SNES bass sounds limited and muffled. "
@303Smilezzz Well see, the Mega Drive was capable of things the SNES couldn't do. The thing is that developers never took advantage of these specs. To say that the MD had the best sound is implying that the sound of the MD was actually taken advantage of, which most of the time it wasn't. A lot of games had bad quality sound unless they were console exclusives that were built from the ground up for the system. But they would've done better had they taken the SNES route to get certain instruments to sound like those instruments. It would've made certain games more emersive.
Spectacular soundtrack. There are some real crazy ones here. Room 2 is a total mind-fuck. The Transylvania is a classic. Room 1 and Hideout are also great.
thx for uploading, friend....not too many people understand the importance of in-game music & the creativity it takes to think & compose.(map screen: 1:22)
Track was so atmospheric that it, combined with that fuggin' red-light-green-light ghost, contributed to me being unable to clear the stage back when I was a kid. Literally 2spoopy4me... These days, however, I just plain love it.
@@GrahamChapman me too, bro. Nowadays this track continue reminds me of when I enjoyed playing this kind of videogames. Sometimes it comes to my mind, I will never forget the melody. Very nostalgic but funny 😊
@@crazydog6093 Indeed. Of course, it didn't hurt that Dracula was a really cool boss, too. Even though the popcorn shot absolutely trivialized him... Maui Mallard also had some top-notch music, with The Realm of The Dead (appropriately enough, given the Transylvania track in Quackshot) being in the top 3 tracks from that game as far as I'm concerned. Though, once again, and even though I was a few years older when I first played Maui Mallard compared to when I first played Quackshot, the world itself still unnerved me as all get-out... I mean, the soundtrack, the zombie duck enemies, *that bloodshot eye staring at you in the background,* how could it be anything _but_ unnerving?! ...actually, come to think of it, it may have been Maui Mallard that worked up my courage enough to beat Quackshot... But yeah, in a way I'd say that the early-mid 90's were a golden era for Donald Duck. He was a legitimately certified badass back then, and he didn't need no Sora for the certificate.
@@GrahamChapman hell yeah bro, I think the same! For me the 90's were the best age for Disney videogames, nowadays they don't do anything that can be compared to those masterpieces. Also those music brought us unforgettable feelings, when I hear it I can remember things of that time. Just wonderful things. I miss that time so much. Big hug and greetings from Spain 🌹
@@crazydog6093 Maybe I'm biased since I grew up during the 90's, but I agree 100%...

Anyway, yes, much hugs and love from Norway. Oh, and Feliz Navidad. ^^
I use to play this all the time back when I was a kid in the 90s, I LOVE this game if I could ever get my hands on a copy I would cherish it forever,pure Nostalgic GOLD
19:09 I remember playing with my friends, we were about 15 people, when we arrived at this stage we jumped with joy because we had never gone so far ... We finished the games before the magazines ...
Awesome! Great memories of playing this (and World of Illusion) as a child. Amazing game and had a fantastic soundtrack. Infact it's so good I have it on my mp3 player 25 years later lol (is that weird?). Haha thanks for sharing... little piece of nostalgic heaven :-D
i was about 13 and I had this game for my birthday in 91, I was secretly annoyed because it looked like a stupid kids game, and all these years on I am back to tell the world it turned out to be a really fond gaming memory and reminds me a special time in my life :) Such a game, not sure I ever totally finished it, one day I just want to veg out with a massive console emulator and play all the old stuff. Modern stuff doesn't really do it for me, these old games seems a 100 times more interesting to me, just the limitations they had, the memories attached to them etc. Unless its something huge like GTA 6 I honestly prefer the old stuff evertime.
My childhood game. It was hard to understand because I was French. Now that I Watch many times videos, my memories are blurred and I don't know if I did go far... My favourites musics are: 8:20 Transylvania (Spook-static!) 18:31 Island (Sneaky sound)
I remember getting this game as a kid for Easter. It was hidden tucked away inside an Easter egg box but me and my brother found it before we were supposed to, and so we tucked the game back in the box to pretend we knew nothing about it so had to act surprised when it was time to open our Easter eggs. Great game and great times.
Never knew this game existed. Donald is my favorite Disney character and the music sounds nice and Konami like (Hyperstone Heist, Rocket Knight Adv.) might pick this one up :)
If you like Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) games then this one's a must have for you're collection! You should definitely get it! I doubt you'd be disappointed. It was a really popular game back in the day cause it was really atmospheric, had beautiful graphics, interesting levels and a superb soundtrack. I used to play it for hours as a kid it's really nostalgic for me (even today) so yeah it's a really great game you should get it :-)
This game has some of the most bizarre music ever. Sounds I've never heard out of a game system before. Very unique, creepy, mysterious, not terrible.. but hard to listen to. It's like they were trying use every random sound frequency possible. I guess they were going for a Donald Duck sound. 😄 I'd say Duckburg is my favorite. Very funky westerny sound.
Man, the last stage was the creepiest for me as a kid, gaves me nightmares for some reason, imagine poor Donald being chased by those haunted unexpresives staving statues in that creepy forgoten temple Dx The scary ass music did justice to the stage too xD
I miss games like this and would love for my kids to experience them. I'm sure it wouldn't be a lot of effort to make them available digitally. A real pity that Quackshot and Castle of Illusion never made it onto the various megadrive collections.
That's weird, as a kid I remember the version I played the last stage has the creepy Room 2 theme sounding at the very begining when you reach the island and for the rest of it, that made the final island seems more eerie and menacing and unwelcome to me as a kid. Man, that las stage Dx was scary as heck with those ruins and haunted staving statues :T
@@tntmoxy9697 I think your version is Rev 00 and the one I played is Rev 01 where they switched the music. Hideout is the creepy Hideout music throughout and the Island starts with the lively Island music followed by Room 2 until the Final Boss.
I am still the boss at this game and beat it as a 9 year old my mates at school used to give me 20p to help them finish the hard bits big up quackshot so underrated xx

I miss 1990's. Everything was like fantasy back then.
imagination and invention were at their peak towards the end of the century
I wont like-button that because it has 69 likes which is very fitting
@@bibby5000 I love this game, but I think that's just the nostalgia speaking.
One of the best Genesis games. The gameplay was sick
lol yup
the metroidvania aspects of the game are wild considering this came out 3 years before super metroid.
why does every platformer have to be compared to metroid nowadays??? this really never made sense back in the day

My childhood, my best years. Nostalgia 🥲
fucking transylvania made my skin crawl all the time, cost me a lot to finish it not only for the ghost but the level layout, damn memories man!

trans theme was amazing. sega had the best sound of the 16 bit era. this cannot argued really

Egypt is extremely nice aswell!
It was cool to have this and Castle of Illusion back then!

Quackshot, maybe the best game on Mega Drive.

Treasure Island music is Sick, respect Maharajah and Egypt!

04:23 Uma das melhores, um tom de suspense! Toca nas pirâmides do México, Egito e é a música da Ilha também.
In the PAL version, the Hideout and Island music are swapped, which felt right as the secret island felt more like a final stage with the music.

Room 2 and Transylvania the best
Room 1 is also sick. Trippy as fuck. It's amazing how they used the reverb on that one.
true, i admire back then when they instill sick theme in young minds; made us quite the elites today
The intro theme sounds like it's on... QUACK!! XD I'm so punny...
dude...
Yes you are
I loved this game
*shoots plunger 🪠 into wall/bad guys*
Room 2 still creeps the fuck out of me and I'm 30 now.
me2, i always thought im alone with being a 30y old person and still being attached to OSTs from back then
A game is so hard!
me too
Love this game
Very good!!!!

island and hideout are mixed up, no wait it's fine, i always forget about the first part of hideout, it looks similar to the island
I like the hideout music

epic
So fucking many Thanks for this 🙈🙉✌️💚

Thanks, this is great.
Could you upload the FLAC files as well?

Room 1 is fucking trippy
yeah man
Best Mofo Disney game ever!!! It hangs w/ Lion King imo💯👍👊🥃🤣🎮
I am personally a bigger fan of Maui Mallard myself, but Quackshot is still a very fond childhood memory.
