* RegionalBonus: The Brazilian release of the UsefulNotes/MegaDrive version had a few little things the European version didn't, such as some [[http://yoritoshi.tumblr.com/post/138965960701/donald-in-maui-mallard-disney-interactivemega tutorials]] that played when the played died in stage 1 or 2.

** In stage 2, Cold Shadow has to fight a pack of ninja clones. By the end of the battle he'll be fighting two at once and they'll be using unique attacks. In the UsefulNotes/GameBoy version, the clones have no extra moves, but they do get more HP.

Misplaced, moving to the correct tab


* ObviousBeta: The European Mega Drive version is missing the tutorial screens and some other details that are found on a pre-release cartridge shown at the Consumer Electronics Show and the version later released in Brazil. The circumstances behind those releases are unknown.

Surprise Creepy was disambiguated. The pothole was low context and still within the context of Black Comedy, so I removed it here.


* BlackComedy: The game was pitched as such a comedy that people would have difficulty playing it from laughing too much. In practice, it has various [[SurpriseCreepy disturbing]] settings and characters that nevertheless have a comical aspect to them. Even the scary zombies who let out a ghostly yell as they crawl out of the ground and melt upon taking damage ''start dragging their asses behind them''.

TRS has turned Gainaxing into a definition only page. Removing examples.


* {{Gainaxing}}: Before Donald gets into the "Sea Hag" boat to go to the boss fight in stage 6, a a female duck appears on the boat with wiggling breasts. Also Hernae the apprentice shamaness, quite clearly so since she's always turning around and making motions with her arms in her appearances.

The PC version outright had "Keep your eyes peeled for Maui's next adventure!" in bold letters on the back of the manual, but neither ''VideoGame/MauiMallardAndTheLostCityOfDread'' nor ''Maui Mallard 3: The Quackening'' ever came to fruition.

Although a sequel and a cartoon were planned, the game didn't do well at market. They even removed Donald's name from the game in the US, due to the marketing team's concern that children wouldn't willingly buy a game featuring a character that wasn't "hip" in their eyes.
