Master Higgins, the protagonist of Adventure Island II , must rescue his cavegirl from an alien threat that aims to dominate the Earth. The aliens have invaded, and it's up to Master Higgins to stop them.
The gameplay is similar to its predecessor, with Master Higgins walking through levels, fighting enemies, and collecting power-ups to aid him in his quest. Power-ups include weapons, a skateboard for increased speed, and dinosaurs that serve as mounts, offering unique abilities such as flying or shooting fireballs. These power-ups can be chosen before each level and saved for later use.
The game is divided into eight worlds, each with its own theme represented by an overhead map. Master Higgins must navigate through these worlds, fighting enemies, collecting food to avoid starvation, and battling bosses at the end of each world. With its unique blend of exploration, combat, and power-up collection, Adventure Island II is a challenging and exciting action-adventure game for the GameBoy.

How to Play
Objective
You, as Master Higgins, must explore 8 islands and defeat 9 monsters to rescue Jeannie Jungle. On each island, there are many areas to discover.
Energy
When you begin each area, you have a full Energy Bar. It is displayed on the top of the screen between your score and the number of lives you have left. The Energy Bar will continuously go down as you play.
To keep it full, you must eat fruits, drink milk, or eat meat. Fruit appears regularly in almost every area. You will receive points at the end of each area based on how much energy you have.
Eggs
When you first start playing, you won't have any weapons or items. As you explore the islands, you'll find eggs that might contain weapons or items.
To open an egg, jump on it. If you have a weapon, you can also shoot an egg to open it.
Eggs can contain several different items, such as milk bottles, axes, boomerangs, time-stops, dinosaurs, and even keys that lead to bonus rounds and secret rooms!
Hidden Eggs
There are hidden eggs in every island. To try to find a hidden egg, shoot your axe, boomerang, or shoot with the dinosaurs.
If you hear a sound that sounds like you just hit an enemy, and you also see your "shots" disappear in mid-air, go to that spot and jump. When you jump, you should make an egg appear. You can break the egg open as usual.
•
Hint: Shooting birds can make some of them drop eggs!
How To Play
Item Select
At the beginning of each area, you will see an item select screen. This screen allows you to use items that you have collected throughout the game.
You can collect axes, boomerangs, invincibility crystals, and each of the dinosaurs. You cannot collect skateboards.
To store a dinosaur, axe, or boomerang that Master Higgins is using, press the B button. A picture of the item appears on the bottom of the screen. The number of those items in storage is displayed to the right of the picture.
You may use up to 1 dinosaur and 1 axe or boomerang and 1 invincibility crystal at a time. To select them, use either the Control Pad or the Select button. When the white dot is next to the item you desire, press the A button.
When your storage space for an item is empty, an egg will appear in its place.
•
Note: When you first start the game, you will not have any items in storage. You will only see pictures of 8 eggs.
Scoring
Points are earned by:
•
Eating fruit
•
Shooting enemies
•
Freeing dinosaurs from eggs
•
Destroying boulders
•
Collecting bonus items
•
Remaining energy at the end of an area
Extra Lives
You are awarded an extra life for every 20,000 points you earn. 1-up's are also scattered throughout the game in hidden places, like within eggs and under boulders.
You will also be awarded with a 1-up if you collect 100 pieces of fruit. You may have up to 99 extra lives!
Continues
If you lose all of your lives, you may continue the game by choosing "CONTINUE" on the title screen with your control pad or Select button, then pressing the Start Button. You will continue with all of the items you had in storage.
Special Items
There are other items you may discover in Adventure Island 3:
Honey Girl
She's tough. As long as she's around, you're invincible!
Eggplant
Master Higgins hates eggplant. If he comes around, your energy will quickly fade away!
Flower
Sometimes it gives you bonus points. But if you can't pick it up, watch out! An enemy might run at you from behind!
Time-Stop
This little clock will temporarily freeze everything. Run fast before time starts again!
