While Master Higgins and Tina are leaving the church after getting married, a shadowy figure called Baron Bronsky and six of his underlings kidnap Tina and some of the island children. The player controls Higgins through six stages with four areas each (the fourth area being a boss battle) to rescue the children, and then finally defeat Baron Bronsky in his fortress to rescue Tina.
Gameplay
The rules and controls of the game are almost identical to those from the original Adventure Island, aside for the ability to get bonus points for finishing a stage with a skateboard. This time Higgins has a choice of four weapons to pick up from: the standard axe, a boomerang, arrows and fireballs (the last one can only be found inside hidden eggs). In some hidden eggs, a PC Engine controller item can spawn, which when collected gives the player 2000 points.
New Adventure Island received positive reviews from Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM) "Review Crew", who complimented the graphics and said it would appeal to fans of the previous Adventure Island games.[9]
Some reviewers in Diehard GameFan and EGM complimented the release of an action game on the TurboGrafx-16.[9][12] One reviewer in Diehard GameFan said the game was satisfactory, while another wished it had more original gameplay.[12]
