Item Description

Master Higgins finally marries Tina, and a tropical cyclone promptly wrecks the honeymoon, scattering the newlyweds across a chain of unfamiliar islands. That setup kicks off Super Adventure Island II, and it signals right away that Hudson Soft was not making another straight run-and-jump sequel. This SNES follow-up trades the series' linear dash-to-the-finish stages for an interconnected adventure, much closer in spirit to Wonder Boy in Monster World than to the Adventure Island games that came before it.

Exploration is the hook. Higgins travels between islands, each with its own terrain and dangers, and steadily builds up his gear, collecting swords, shields and other equipment that make him tougher and let him push into places he could not handle before. Doubling back to an earlier area with better gear to find what you missed is a big part of the fun, while the side-view platforming still asks for the careful jumps the series has always demanded. Along the way, a request from the king of Waku-Waku to rescue the princess he was set to marry adds a second mystery to Higgins's search for his wife.

The look is classic mid-'90s Hudson: bright, clean sprite work, sunny shorelines and colorful creatures, with a lighthearted tone that never takes itself too seriously. It is a different animal from the first Super Adventure Island, which kept to the series' fast, stage-based formula, and that shift gives the sequel its own identity within the franchise.

Super Adventure Island II tends to surprise people who know Master Higgins only as the skateboarding hero of the NES era. Here he is an armed adventurer with a world to piece together, and for players who love SNES action-adventures with a light layer of RPG progression, it is a rewarding and often overlooked find.

About the game

Master Higgins finally marries his lovely girlfriend Tina. But out of nowhere, a powerful tropical cyclone destroyed the idyllic mood of their honeymoon. And not only this: it separated the ardent lovers again. After the winds stopped blowing, Tina found herself somewhere on a tropical coast. As for Master Higgins, he went to the king of Waku-Waku and, along with his main quest to save his brand new wife, got an assignment to save also a princess, whom the king was about to marry. Is there a connection between those two events?..
