Don Doko Don 2 is a platform game for the Nintendo Entertainment System that builds upon its predecessor. Players control a bearded dwarf with a hammer to defeat and throw enemies. The game features five side-scrolling stages leading to boss battles, requiring players to defeat bosses and collect bags containing antidote ingredients to progress.
Similar to the original Don Doko Don, the player controls a bearded dwarf wielding a hammer to flatten enemies and throw them. But unlike the original, this version is a side-scroller. The game consists of five stages, plus the final boss battles. The player's goal is to reach the end of each stage, defeat a boss, and collect a bag,(antidote ingredient,) to advance to the next.
