Gameplay
Gameplay is virtually identical to the previous Adventures of Lolo (US), since both are compilations of puzzles from Eggerland: Meikyū no Fukkatsu and Eggerland: Sōzō he no Tabidachi. Some of the monster graphics were drawn differently, mainly Gol, Rocky, Skull, Medusa, and Don Medusa. Other differences include new puzzles and greater difficulty.
The game features a total of 50 different puzzle rooms; the player faces King Egger at the end. Also featured are four hidden Pro puzzle rooms, which are available for players who want to try very challenging rooms.
Release
Adventures of Lolo 2 was released in Japan on January 6, 1990. And in the United States in March 1990.
The American Adventures of Lolo 2 was released on the Wii’s Virtual Console in 2008 for North America on January 21,
