Kao the Kangaroo Round 2 is a third-person perspective platform game about a young, cute, yellow kangaroo who saves animals from the evil Hunter and his colleagues. To reach Hunter's ship, Kao must collect coins scattered throughout the game. The main character can fight with boxing gloves and throw lethal boomerangs.
The game consists of 25 levels in 5 different worlds. Playing through the levels, the player must jump over platforms, make difficult leaps, and fight about 30 different types of enemies. Free captured friends and solve many puzzles are also part of the gameplay. Occasionally, Kao will get to ride a vehicle like a barrel or a snowmobile.
Collecting purple crystals allows Kao to buy minigames to play. There are also stars – collecting 50 of them will upgrade one of Kao's abilities, such as giving him the ability to stomp on the ground to defeat enemies around him. A rarely encountered item is a winged helmet, which, when grabbed, allows Kao to fly for a short while.
Kao the Kangaroo Round 2 was released for the Gamecube on March 29th, 2006 , and falls under the Action & Adventure genre.
