'''Adventures of Lolo 2''' is a [[puzzle]] game released in [[1990]] by [[HAL]] Corporation for the [[NES]]/Famicom. It is based on the Japanese {{c|Eggerland}} video game series. It was the sixth game released in the series: the fourth one released in Europe, the second one released in the North America, but it was never released in Japan (it re-uses the same graphics, music, and cutscenes from [[Adventures of Lolo (Japan)]], but all the puzzles are different). It was not really a popular sequel to [[Adventures of Lolo]], as very few improvements were made to gameplay.

It was not really a popular sequel to [[Adventures of Lolo]], as very few improvements were made to gameplay. In fact, both ''Adventures of Lolo 1 & 2'' are mostly compilations of stages from the 3rd and 4th Eggerland games (see: [[Adventures of Lolo 2/Original rooms]]).


The gameplay is virtually identical to the previous games. Some of the monster graphics are differently drawn, mainly Gol, Rocky, Skull, Medusa and Don Medusa. Other differences include new puzzles and greater difficulty than [[Adventures of Lolo]]. Some of the puzzles are even taken from the older games in the Eggerland series.

The game features a total of 50 different puzzle rooms, and an actual fight with King Egger at the end. This is the first game in which Lolo can actually fight against Egger himself. Also featured are four hidden Pro puzzle rooms, which are available for players who want to try very challenging rooms.

The last five rooms take place in the castle in the sky, which actually has a different tileset than the regular tower. This is the first game to feature different tilesets.

'''Titles disambiguation:''' The Japanese version of the game, [[Adventures of Lolo (Japan)]], contains mostly different rooms and some different challenges than the Western game ''The Adventures of Lolo 2''. As such, many fans consider the Japanese version to be quite a bit more difficult than the Western version. They are actually two different games. This is demonstrated by the two screenshots of the first room from the Western version and the Japanese version.
