Gameplay
This game is a platform game reminiscent of Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, as both have similar gameplay elements.
Donald's chief means of attack are kicking blocks (some of which contain diamonds or ice cream cones) and consuming chili peppers, which temporarily enable Donald to plow through all enemies at high speed. The player can choose map locations to begin the game. If a player loses three lives the game is over.
Plot
Donald Duck is beckoned by his uncle Scrooge McDuck from a curse which has puffed him up into a floating balloon.

Commercial performance
