Despite being the original, the Mega Drive version was only released in Europe and Brazil and never saw a North American Sega Genesis version due to Nintendo securing an exclusive publishing contract for the game in North America, but the Mega Drive version did see an American release but only as a Sega Channel exclusive.

For Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow on the Super Nintendo, GameFAQs has 12 cheat codes and secrets.
Maui is put on the case, and his investigations lead him through a creepy mansion to a native village, where Maui is thrown into a volcano as a sacrifice to the native gods. Maui survives the volcano, and the islanders put him through the 'test of duckhood', which Maui passes, gaining the natives' trust. The natives tell Maui that the only one who knows the location of Shabuhm Shabuhm has long since died, and Maui goes through the land of the dead to escort his soul into rest. Ultimately, the location of Shabuhm Shabuhm is revealed, and Maui goes head-to-head with an evil sorcerer over the idol. Maui is triumphant, and as a sign of their gratitude, the islanders name their island after their hero, despite their misgivings that the name 'Mallard' has little potential for attracting tourists.GameplayBesides typical platform game gameplay (running around, jumping from platform to platform), one of the game's most distinctive gameplay features is allowing to switch the player character's form to suit one's needs. The player begins the game as Maui, whose only means of self-defense is an insect-launching pistol that can launch several forms of bugs, some of them combined for greater effect.
However, once the player reaches the second level, Maui transforms into Cold Shadow, his ninja alter ego, who defends himself with short-range attacks using a staff. Cold Shadow's staff is also primarily used to explore the level further, such as climbing a narrow tunnel. After the second level, the player can switch back and forth between Maui and Cold Shadow at will, provided he has enough ninja tokens for the transformation. The amount of ninja tokens Maui or Cold Shadow holds determines Cold Shadow's strength — who can then chain more and more attacks as his skill improves — when played as him in the SNES version. On Genesis, however, Maui needs to collect red ninja tokens instead, the number of white tokens being useful for metamorphosis alone. Some levels of the game, however, prevent Maui from transforming at all, as Cold Shadow cannot bungee jump on vines, for example, which forces the player to use Maui throughout the level.It should also be noted that the 1996 PC version was an upgrade of the Genesis version. All tracks of 's score had been fully orchestrated by Steve Duckworth, it had updated graphics and a few level enhancements (such as the straw plugs in Muddrake Mayhem).Trivia.

Characters
Maui Mallard
The main protagonist of this story, he fancies himself a “Quack Detective” with numerous cases under his bill. Equipped with nothing but his wits, his 1935 vintage Westchester Bug Gun, and some hidden ninja powers Maui stares into the face of danger and tries to overcome the deadliest of cases. (And hopes to live another day!)
Cold Shadow
Maui’s alter ego. Long before he decided to be a detective, Maui trained in the art of being a ninja. It is said that he can transform with the help of one thousand souls; however after one soul was stolen, Maui must now utilize the ancient secret of the Yin Yang medallions to morph into Cold Shadow again.
Hernae
One of the locals on the island, Hernae is the acolyte sorceress of the Temple of Shabuhm Shabuhm. Very little is known about her outside her usage of mojo magic, but one thing is certain; she has little faith in Maui’s capabilities.
Mojo Witch Doctor
Used mojo magic to extract more souls from Cold Shadow and turned them into evil ninja clones. He might as well wear a sign saying, “I’M THE BAD GUY!”
Muddrakes
The island’s natives, they’re not exactly a civilize bunch; but they mean well and only want the Shabuhm Shabuhm idol returned to them. They’re not very nice to outsiders, even when they’re trying to help.
Quackoo
Former Muddrake chieftain who was captured by priates of the Flying Duckman and died while aboard their ship not too far off from the island. Apparently is able to locate the Shabuhm Shabuhm idol.
