A pretty simple 8 bit platformer. Much better than the original game, though. Looks and sounds way better.
It's about as easy as the original Kid Niki, though. Pretty much every enemy dies in one hit, and the bosses don't pose any threat. Thankfully your staff also doesn't bounce off of them this time.
You do have a few new moves such as attacking upward or downward, but the strangest new thing comes with the animal transformation: a limited-use ability that can transform you into a frog, an elephant, or a bird. I have used it once when I found a secret area and realized that I must have some form of high jump and never again.
The game isn't built for this ability, and can be easily cleared just using your main attack.
It's a comfy little game. Nothing special at all, but at least the levels are all very different, and there's plenty of different baddies.

Game Review - originally written by Spinner 8
Basically, here's your typical side-scroller. You have a really cool weapon which can go in all four directions, and you break bells for nifty power-ups and stuff. Other than that, well, there's really not much else to say about the game. Anyway, despite what some people say about Kid Niki 2, it's a pretty cool game, so give it a try if you're bored or something.

Guys help why am I still playing these games on the same day? I swear this wasn't the plan! But um yeah it's kind of just a simple platformer and when the Super Famicom was already out, it just feels kind of dull. Like it's playable but I just don't really get much out of this. I also still have no clue what the point is for turning into a bird and elephant. It's also pretty easy for the most part though game developers, I'm going to tell you this once. Having one tile platforming is not a good challenge, especially in a game that doesn't have the best controls. Well there's only one game left now maybe it'll be the bes-reads it was made by micronics OH NOOOOO!!
