Item Description

Oinker P. Hamm has opened the Amazatorium, a theme park full of virtual worlds based on historical eras, and its exhibits are a little too authentic: he has been using a time machine to steal from history itself. When Bubsy's niece Terri and nephew Terry sneak into the park the night before it opens, the wisecracking bobcat and his armadillo pal Arnold follow them in, and Bubsy II sends them through five wild worlds of dive-bombing penguins, flying pigs and turbo-powered sheep to get the kids back and shut Oinker down.

Accolade's in-house team clearly listened to complaints about the first game. Bubsy can now take three hits before losing a life instead of crumpling at the first touch, stages can be chosen freely rather than played in a fixed order, and marbles replace the original's balls of yarn as the collectible of choice. He also gets a Nerf Ballzooka for picking off enemies at range, and a two-player mode lets a second player take control of one of Bubsy's young relatives. Four difficulty levels and three mini-games round out a package that is noticeably more forgiving and more varied than its predecessor.

Reviewers at the time were generally positive about the Genesis version. GamePro praised its multiple paths, special items, mini-games and improved controls, though it found the game too easy for seasoned platformer fans. Later retrospectives have been cooler, and even Bubsy's original creator, Michael Berlyn, who was not involved, has been openly critical of how the character was handled. That mix of ambition and controversy is part of what makes Bubsy such a fascinating figure in gaming history.

The Genesis cartridge captures the mascot wars of 1994 at full tilt, when every publisher wanted its own animal with attitude, and Bubsy II is the entry where the series tried hardest to fix itself. With Chip Harris's soundtrack and a world built around a theme park of time-stolen treasures, it is a lively, very '90s piece of that era to play on original hardware.
