Quackshot

The player, as Donald, ventures through a variety of side-scrolling levels. Generally, each level is divided into an overland part and a dungeon, such as the Maharajah's palace or the temple in which the Great Duck Treasure resides. Although the player may choose any order to play the overland sections, various obstacles prevent the player from entering the dungeons outside a specific order. In addition, some levels provide the player vital clues that solve puzzles needed to progress in later sections. Once Donald has completed the overland section of an area, he may leave by calling his nephews' biplane and will return to the dungeon entrance of that area if the player chooses to return.

Donald is armed with a special gun that can shoot plungers, popcorn or bubble gum. Donald has unlimited plungers which can temporarily stun enemies (though bosses can still be damaged with plungers), and can collect popcorn and gum along the way or get the latter from Gyro Gearloose. Later in the game, the plunger is upgraded to act as a temporary platform to climb walls with and, when stuck to a passing bird, allows Donald to traverse longer distances. In the overland sections of Duckburg, India, and Egypt, Donald can also pick up chilli peppers which increase his temper, eventually temporarily activating a "quack attack" mode that allows him to become invincible, automatically run forward and knock out enemies in his path.

While Donald Duck is combing through his uncle's library, an incomplete map falls out of a book relating to the treasure of King Garuzia, the ruler of a kingdom from ancient times. The map leads to the king's most prized possession, which was hidden away shortly before his death. Donald, thinking this could lead to riches, teams up with his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie to search for the treasure, completely disregarding his girlfriend Daisy's concerns. However, Donald's rival, Pete, overhears about the mission and sets out with his own team to obtain the treasure for himself.

Donald follows the incomplete map's directions until arriving in Transylvania, where he obtains the complete map from Count Dracula's castle. Now with the complete map, Donald continues his journey until he reaches a Viking ship, which supposedly contains an old diary with the secret to locating the treasure. Upon contending with the undead Vikings on the ship, Donald learns the diary is not within the ship but near the South Pole. He travels to the Pole and finds the diary, but upon obtaining it Donald's nephews are temporarily held for ransom by Pete for the book.

QuackShot was developed and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis. In May 1991, Sega presented the game at the Consumer Electronics Show. The game was released in North America on November 1991, in Europe a month later, and in Japan on December 20, 1991. QuackShot was released as part of a bundle called The Disney Collection for Genesis in 1996 alongside Castle of Illusion. The game was also ported to the Sega Saturn and released exclusively in Japan alongside Castle of Illusion again as part of the Sega Ages series in 1998, entitled Sega Ages: I Love Mickey Mouse.

In the United Kingdom, QuackShot was the top-selling Mega Drive game upon release.

QuackShot received a positive response from critics upon release. Paul Rand of Computer and Video Games magazine praised the graphics and gameplay, but noted its slower pace compared to action games. MegaTech magazine also praised the graphics and gameplay, but criticized the lack of difficulty. Console XS magazine called it one of the "best games for the Mega Drive."
