The briefing

About this game

Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2 is a third-person platform adventure following Kao, a young yellow kangaroo on a mission to rescue captured animals from the evil Hunter and his allies.

Across 25 levels in five worlds, Kao jumps across platforms, tackles challenging leaps, fights around 30 enemy types, solves puzzles, and frees his friends. His boxing gloves provide close-range combat, while boomerangs offer a ranged attack.

Exploration and collectibles

Coins scattered throughout the game help Kao bribe a guard and board Hunter’s ship. Purple crystals can be exchanged for minigames, while collecting 50 stars upgrades one of Kao’s abilities. A rare winged helmet temporarily lets him fly.

Some sections feature vehicles, including a barrel and a snowmobile. The game was developed by Tate Interactive and published by Atari, JoWooD Entertainment AG, and JoWood Productions.
