Story
In the game, Milon, a young boy, heads in a mission to restore the music from the forest of his hometown and rescue his friend, the fairy Alis, from an evil wizard known as Amon, who is also responsible for the music's disappearance.Gameplay and differences from Milon's Secret Castle
- The game no longer takes place at a dark castle with several rooms, but in several thematic areas spread in 7 worlds, which are displayed in a world map. Each world is divided by a few levels that must be cleared one after another, with a boss at the end.
- Milon's basic attack still consists of bubbles, although they are now used to trap enemies in them first and pop them, before the enemies escape. There are other, more powerful attack techniques such as a charged bubble.
- Powerups allow Milon to accomplish special moves, such as the bubblegum, allowing Milon to momentarily float when he falls in the hole.
- Milon can jump on enemies, but they will only be stunned.
- Milon's health level is reflected by the clothes he is wearing. If he hasn't been touched, his clothes are colored green. When he is hit, his clothes will changed to blue, and later, red. If he is touched while wearing red, the player loses a life. Unlike the first game, dying once does not mean game overGame overGame Over is a message in video games which signals that the game has ended, often due to a negative outcome - although the phrase sometimes follows the end credits after successful completion of a game...
