Rescue Rangers 2 brings back crate tossing and cooperative platforming, then adds Super-Throws and Ranger Badges that help increase your health capacity. Join Chip and Dale on the trail of the stolen Pharaoh’s Urn, with this guide to the NES controls, collectibles and teamwork.
Capcom’s NES sequel follows Fat Cat’s escape from prison and theft of the Pharaoh’s Urn. It launched in Japan as Chip to Dale no Daisakusen 2 in 1993, followed by the North American release in 1994.
A carried object can be thrown immediately or held until it flashes. Throwing left or right at that point produces a Super-Throw. Distant switches can reward careful aim with an object or even a thrown partner.
Ranger Plaques collected within a stage can earn a Ranger Badge at the finish. Accumulating badges increases the number of hearts available. Acorns refill lost hearts, while stars award an extra chance.
Play alone as either chipmunk or choose the original two-player cooperative mode. Boxes provide ammunition and cover, bolts can be stacked into steps, and a thrown tennis ball can serve as a moving platform.
The sequel retains crate-based combat and co-op platforming, adding Super-Throws and a badge system that expands your health capacity. These give you more reasons to inspect the scenery and coordinate with a partner.
Collect Ranger Plaques within stages to qualify for Ranger Badges at the finish. Badges increase heart capacity; acorns only refill health that you have lost.
The original game offers Continue and End after your last chance is gone. Choose Continue and press A to restart the stage. You have three continues.
