Solomon's Key 2 is a puzzle platformer for the Nintendo Entertainment System where players control Dana, navigating through ten main worlds and five secret worlds with ten levels each. Levels include pipes for traversal, burning jars to melt ice, and various monsters. The initial nine worlds can be approached in any sequence, while the final level of each world presents unique challenges such as rising lava and moving foes.
Some levels contain pipes through which Dana can go, burning jars that melt ice or moving monsters instead of flames. There are ten worlds plus five secret worlds that contain ten levels. The first nine worlds can be played in any order. The tenth level of a world usually features a special challenge like moving flames or monsters and lava that is slowly rising from the bottom.
