Gameplay

At the end of the first game, the little boy named Nicky has managed to vanquish Zoldrane the Sorceress and rescue his grandfather, and it seemed the peace was restored to their forest. But after his toys get mysteriously scattered, rumors arrive Zoldrane had an equally wicked but even more powerful sister who has caused chaos and is now preparing terrible revenge, so his grandfrather sends Nicky with a magic goose to seek out her lair.[1] The player controls Nicky who moves on his feet and on a flying goose. Nicky's main weapons against monsters are firecracker bombs, stones, and ultrasound whistles.[2] If he manages to reach and defeat the end boss (a dragon), a volcano erupts and destroys the witches' realm as the boy flies away on his goose.
