#DUCKTALES

[prokopetz]

While Metroid (1986) and Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (1987) are usually cited as the founding texts of the metroidvania genre, not without reason, they were actually part of a much larger wave of 2D side-scrolling platformers featuring nonlinear, inventory-gated open worlds that were all released in the same three or four year span.

Some are fairly well known, like Blaster Master (1988) and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (1987). Others are more obscure these days, like Faxanadu (1987) or The Maze of Galious (1987). There doesn't seem to be any one game that started it – it was an idea whose time had come, and suddenly it was everywhere at all at once.

Of course, given that the genre was just beginning to take shape, there are also a lot of weird edge cases that might or might not be first-generation metroidvanias, depending on how you define your terms. Ultimately, checklists of tropes are perhaps a less relevant metric than which games participated in the creative dialogue that produced what would eventually be labelled the metroidvania.

Which finally brings me to the question I actually want to throw out:

Is DuckTales (1989) a first-generation metroidvania?

Donald: So. Who broke it?

Donald: I'm not mad, I just wanna know.

BOYD: I did. I broke it-

Donald: No. No you didn't. Louie?

Louie: Don't look at me. Look at Dewey.

Dewey: What?! I didn't break it!

Louie: Hmm. That's weird. How'd you even know it was broken?

Dewey: Because it's sitting right in front of us, and it's broken!

Louie: Suspicious.

Dewey: No, it's not.

Huey: If it matters - probably not - but, Lena was the last one to use it-

Lena: Liar! I don't even drink that crap!

Huey: Oh, really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

Lena: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles! Everyone knows that, Huey!

Webby: Okay, let's not fight. I broke it. Let me pay for it. Run.

Donald: No! Who broke it?!

Violet:

Violet: Donald... Della’s been awfully quiet.

Della: REALLY?!
