Okay, so Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow is one of those weirdly cool SNES games where Disney just went all in. You play as Donald Duck—except he’s a detective named Maui Mallard (because why not?) hunting down a stolen idol. The vibe’s a mix of Indiana Jones and voodoo temples, with these creepy little mask enemies popping up everywhere.

Here’s the fun part: you can switch between regular Maui and Ninja Maui. Normal mode gives you this weird bug gun—like, actual bugs as ammo—and you can mix them for different effects (fire bugs + lightning bugs = chaos). But the ninja form? That’s where it gets good. You’ve got a staff for smacking enemies, wall-climbing by jamming it between gaps, and swinging from duck-head hooks (yes, really). Only catch is you need Yin-Yang coins to stay in ninja mode, so you’re constantly hunting for them or else—poof—back to bug-shooting detective mode.

It’s got that classic SNES platforming feel, but the whole dual-ability thing keeps it from feeling stale. Also, the soundtrack slaps. If you dig weird 90s Disney experiments, this one’s a hidden gem.
