Bubsy II (SNES) Playthrough

I DON'T OWN ANYTHING FROM ATARI......What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

This was a platform video game, the sequel to Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind, and the second game in the Bubsy series. It was originally released by Accolade in 1994 for the Sega Genesis, Super NES, and Game Boy. The Super NES version was re-released for Windows as part of Bubsy Two-Fur on December 17, 2015, while all three versions were re-released as part of Bubsy in: The Purrfect Collection in 2025.

Corrupt entrepreneur Oinker P. Hamm announces a new theme park, the Amazatorium, which features virtual worlds based on various historical eras. Unknown to the public, Oinker is stealing items and information from throughout history using a time machine, changing the past so his thefts can only be found in his park. Fearing that the Amazatorium might get too crowded on its opening day, Bubsy's niece Terri and nephew Terry decide to break into the theme park the night before. Bubsy and his sidekick Arnold follow them into the park to rescue them and foil Oinker's plans.

Planning for the game started as early as a few months prior to the release of the first Bubsy game, with team members coming up with three possible scenarios for the game, none of them involving the first game's antagonists "The Woolies". A pilot for an animated television adaptation titled "What Could Possibly Go Wrong?" aired on Thanksgiving Day. Some characters from the TV pilot appeared in the second game (Including the Voice lines for Bubsy, Who is voiced by Rob Paulsen in the Pilot). The sequel moved into full production after the first game was released and was a commercial success. However, a different, new development team within Accolade was responsible for making the game, without original designer Michael Berlyn's assistance. Like the original, the Sega Genesis and Super NES versions are virtually identical, but the Game Boy version is drastically different, with different level designs and only black-and-white graphics, unless played on a Super Game Boy, which applied very basic coloring.

Bubsy II plays very similar to its predecessor, as a 2D sidescrolling platformer. Unlike the first game where playing through the stages is linear, in Bubsy II the player gets to choose stages. The player must still maneuver Bubsy through the level through jumping and gliding, though Bubsy now collects marbles instead of yarn balls. The game features more variety than its predecessor. One new feature in the game was the ability to shoot a Nerf Ballzooka gun. A multiplayer mode was added as well, where a second player could control one of Bubsy's younger relatives. Bubsy can now take three hits before losing a life.
