Donald Duck Advance is a platformer released in 2001 for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Ubisoft.
It belongs to the GBA's earliest wave of games. Other notable GBA releases from 2001 include Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Sonic Advance and Advance Wars.
It is part of the Donald Duck series. The series also appears on other systems with Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers (N64) and Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow (SNES). Ubisoft also made Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge, TMNT and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell for the GBA.
This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.
Pick it if…
- you want to run, jump and explore
- you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
- you've played the GBA hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Donald Duck Advance is like
Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.
Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
