Plot

While Master Higgins and Tina are leaving the church after getting married, a shadowy figure called Baron Bronsky and six of his underlings kidnap Tina and some of the island children. The player controls Higgins through six stages with four areas each (the fourth area being a boss battle) to rescue the children, and then finally defeat Baron Bronsky in his fortress to rescue Tina.

Gameplay

The rules and controls of the game are almost identical to those from the original Adventure Island, aside for the ability to get bonus points for finishing a stage with a skateboard. This time Higgins has a choice of four weapons to pick up from: the standard axe, a boomerang, arrows and fireballs (the last one can only be found inside hidden eggs).

gollark: And lambdas are `|| println!("bee")`, `match` just uses normal blocks.
gollark: It's pattern matching; `Ordering::Less` is a simple pattern.
gollark: `match` is an expression, yes, but it does NOT have a map.
gollark: Well, I can* explæin it.
gollark: Do you want to know the TRUE truth?
