One hit results in his untimely death unless he carries one of the various power ups, e.g. weapons or a skateboard which improves his speed.
He also needs to collect food to fill up his steadily decreasing starvation bar - death awaits if it hits zero.
A big addition are dinosaurs which serve as mount and offer different abilities, e.g. flying or shooting fireballs.
Like all power ups these don't have to be used instantly but can be saved for later: before every level the player can choose the power ups he wants to bring with him.
There are overall eight worlds with different themes which are represented by a overhead map.
Sometimes there are different paths with other level and at the end of a world Master Higgins has to fight a boss.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Adventure Island II for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Adventure Island II to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1991.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Adventure Island II has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
