Story
I see you're foolish enough to think you can beat this game. I must warn you, you can't beat this game by wits alone. You will come across seemingly impassible obstacles. Use your brain and remember, sometimes you will have to look at things a whole new way in order to beat them.
One day, Dummy Duck was having a picnic with his dog Foo-foo and his good friend Lil' Red the tomato. All of a sudden, they heard a loud crash. It was a spaceship landing! Out from the door came a shadowy creature... "MR. BAD"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. Bad captured Dummy's friends, and brought them into his ship. He made clones of Foo-foo & Lil' Red! That's not all! He shrunk the Foo-foo's, then made cyborgs out of the Lil' Red's! OH NO! Let's hope for their sake that you're not too much of a loser to beat this game!
- The first level is simple enough. First you'll have to get across the row of sharp spikes, then make your way to the right.
- Level two is easy. All you do is run, jump, and fend off a couple of bad guys.... Oh yeah, did I mention that it was PITCH BLACK?
- The third level is a test of skill, find the boss' pattern, and thwart away. This is a mockery of Dummy Duck part 1. You see, in part one Dummy Duck was half the size that he is now. In fact, the little Dummy you'll see between each level is the same guy from Dummy part one. Well anyway, in part one Foo-Foo was around four times as big as Dummy, and he's supposed to be around the same size. It's funny.
- When you're done, walk to the right.
- Level four, let's see, oh yeah the lawn mower level! I love this one! Ride the lawn mower around the grass and pick up five keys, (if you lose a guy, you still keep all your keys). Then make your way to the city and go to the H.Q.
- I took out level five! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
- In level six, you're inside the H.Q. from level four. Run around... and...OH MY! It looks like "MR. BAD"!!!
- Level seven... OH, I DO like this level! It's a souped up "Level 1" from Dummy Duck PART 1!!!!
- (Actually this is level 9 in the real version)
Hey! There's a LOT more to this game! But, you HAVE to REGISTER FIRST! Please register! It'll make me feel a lot better!

Background
Alan Caudel:
- The intro scene for Dummy Duck 3, where the spaceship floats down to Earth, was completely inspired by the introduction to Battletoads for the NES.
- AND: The numbering of the streets in the lawnmower level was based on the Dick Tracy game for the NES.
- If you notice, a group of the logs out in the grass spell out G6 in big letters. Try going there in the city.
