Play as Donald as you go on a treasure hunting adventure around the world. You can choose the stage to go to but must complete them in a particular order finding items along the way. Weapons include a plunger that can stun enemies and get upgraded to allow you to access additional areas, as well as a spread gun and a bubble shooting gun that destroys some walls. Stages are split into two areas and some include boss battles.
