Description
This is a
platformer where the player controls Mr. Do, a clown character,
on various roller coaster platforms. The object of the game
is to get to the goal while avoiding roller coasters and
collecting cherries for bonus points. The roller coasters can be
avoided by
either climbing on ladders or getting off them (for roller
coasters that are directly above the player's platform). Mr. Do
can also run
in this game, but at the expense of the bonus points that are
diminishing throughout the levels. There are 6 unique levels
before
they start repeating again. There are prizes at the goal that
change after every cherry picked up. If a diamond shows up as the
prize and the player is at the goal and picks it up when it
appears, he will get an additional game credit. This is the
sequel to
Mr.
Do's Castle and seems to
be related to Go Go Coaster
(perhaps a widely released version where Universal replaced the
main character with the familiar & popular Mr. Do character).
