The original game was not released on Genesis in North America, because Disney Interactive was not a publisher in the console games market at that time and it did not have a North American publishing partner to release the game there. The Mega Drive version was released in Brazil and Europe, while the Genesis version was only available on the Sega Channel in North America.

It was ported one last time to the Game Boy by Bonsai Entertainment Corp., released in North America in August 1998. A Microsoft Windows port was released in North America in November 1996. It was also ported by Eurocom Entertainment Software to the SNES and released in North America in January 1997, in Europe mostly in autumn 1996 (although the SNES version was released in Germany at the end of 1995 ), and in Japan on December 20, 1996. The game was released in Europe on December 8, 1995, and in Brazil in spring 1997 for the Sega Mega Drive. Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow – originally released as Donald in Maui Mallard – is a platforming video game developed and published by Disney Interactive Studios.
