It basically cashes in on the Crash Bandicoot hype, borderline plagiarism in fact. But I have fond memories of the levels - spooky house, ancient temple - and the bosses were pretty cool, I think.
An okay Crash Bandicoot-like game that I have a lot of nostalgia for.
Apparently it's similar to Crash Bandicoot which I never played but I have the feeling that I have to thank the universe that it was this game instead. The collectable costumes were also quite rad. Went to a friends house to burn a copy for him but I forgot to tell my mom which wasn't a very good idea.
a palatable crash clone
Mesma versão do Dreamcast, porém a 30fps. Não muda em nada na jogatina.
Even though my step father usually beat every hard boss battle for me, neither of us could win against Milla Magia (Magica De Spell).
Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers is an above-average Crash Bandicoot clone starring everyone's favorite pantsless waterfowl Donald Duck. The gameplay is identical to the PS1 era Crash games, right down to the iconic "run towards the screen while a giant enemy/thing tries to squish you" levels. But while the game is derivative, it makes the smart choice to keep the fun of early Crash Bandicoot and leave out the frustration. I'd go so far as to say it plays better than the first Crash Bandicoot game.
Goin' Quackers is the rare game both kids and adults can play on an equal level. While there is some trial and error and a few difficulty spikes, the experience is mostly breezy and enjoyable. Running down corridors while bopping and punching enemies feels great and the music & sound are above average for a licensed game. While the voice acting is limited, I was very impressed they made the effort to recruit A-List VO talent like Clarence Nash, Tress MacNeille, June Foray and Frank Welker. It really felt like the creators were fans of Donald Duck cartoons and comics, with lots of references to his past misadventures in the background.
My main criticisms are twofold; Goin' Quackers limited lives system forces the player to save after every level or risk losing all their progress if they get a Game Over. This would be forgivable if you didn't have to backtrack to the hub lab and sit through 2 animations and a loading screen to get there. Also the graphics are rough, blurry even by N64 standards. This game was ported to a lot of different consoles during its release, and I'm sure they had to cut a few graphical corners to get it running on a cartridge based system. Still a very fun game for platformer fans and Donald Duck enthusiasts alike.

Very basic but shockingly well-executed crash clone. The level design's pretty easy throughout but never falters, with constant movement and essentially no downtime. A really cool game to quickly cruise through.
Recuerdo jugar esto en un ordenador que literalmente parecía que iba a explotar cada vez que cargaba un nuevo mundo.
Realmente estaba bastante divertido, de chikito me flipaba

Level Design ainda é legal mas não tão bom quanto a versão de PS1. É um jogo mais fácil, mas o maior motivo pra não ser 9 também é que a trilha sonora é bem ruim. Tem algumas músicas boas mas a OST no PS1 é goated e essa não.
One of the best Crash clones out there
For my Portuguese readers: O Donald quando perde vida parece que diz foda-se

basato
this is one of the best crash bandicoot clones ive played
This is Rayman 2 mixed with Crash Bandicoot. This is a very solid game overall.
Childhood favorite
This game ruined my life

My childhood. Remember farming lives to 99 and just playing it over and over again. So many great memories.
Shovelware from my childhood. A mediocre 2.5D platformer.
amazing, 10/10, the game of my childhood, definetely a good game yep
Juego bastante divertido
The presentation is spectacular but mechanically it fails to have any identity beyond a Crash Bandicoot clone. It's also very on the easy side and it doesn't quite recreate Crash's controls the best.

The Dreamcast version is visually a bit better than the N64 version but both are very serviceable for its cartoony aesthetic.
Fácil de mais, fechei em menos de 5hs em 100% no retroarchievements.
O jogo é uma mera cópia de Crash Bandicoot, mas não tão descarado.
Versão do N64, as cenas são renderizadas, não tem CGI algum e a trilha sonora é um pouco abafada, provavelmente por conta da compressão do jogo.

Too easy, I closed in less than 5 hours at 100% on retroarchievements.
The game is a mere copy of Crash Bandicoot, but not so brazen.
N64 version, scenes are rendered, there's no CGI at all, and the soundtrack is a bit muffled, probably due to the game's compression.

Crash de Nintendo 64, legalzinho
I think I'm gonna go quakcers at this rate.
Completamente igual a versão de 64 mas com cenários mais detalhados, iluminação bem feita e... música melhor! Até instrumentalização muda na versão de Dreamcast então mesmo que tenham algumas estranhas, tem muita música boa.
Always had many PC Disney stuff also because of a collab with a famous italian ice cream giving demos included. You know, frozen. Thank god they stopped not much later because it was really stupid.
Always kept redoing the same two levels (city and a haunted house) but always remember having fun.
It's still what it is: a Crash Bandicoot clone not nearly as great (as Crash 2 and Warped, that is, I would still enjoy this better than og PS1 Crash 1).

A dull un-inspired platforming game that copies the crash formula. I would recommend this game for kids because they'll get amused by it, but if you'd really want another game with the crash formula.. its better to stick with the bandicoot himself.
THE GREATEST GAME EVER FUCKING MADE YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
but being fr its a ok game but has a lot of charm especially the n64 version
Esse jogo tem umas 7 versões diferentes e eu pretendo jogar todas elas! Esse fim de semana eu zerei a de Dreamcast (que é parecida com os ports de N64 e PC até onde entendo) e posso dizer que esse é um clone de crash bandicoot bem bacaninha de se jogar. A experiência no geral é bem de boa e o jogo todo é BEM fácil, exceto pelo o último mundo onde jogo começa a ficar um pouquinho difícil. Ponto forte são os chefes que tem mecânicas individuais e ponto fraco são as time trials que são a mesma coisa que nada (fiz todas de primeira com muito tempo sobrando no relógio).
Se você quiser um joguinho pra relaxar e fazer um 100% ele é uma boa pedida!
