Bubsy II

Bubsy II is a game developed by Accolade originally released in 1994 for the Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, and Game Boy, and re-released for PC through Steam on December 17, 2015 in the Bubsy Two-Fur compilation. It's the sequel to Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind, and the second game in the Bubsy series.
During development the game was subtitled as "Bubsy 2: Still No Pants!".Mega, "June 1994" (UK; 1994-05-19), page 80 A port to the Sega Game Gear was worked on, but was not released.https://atariage.com/forums/blogs/entry/13713-cruizin-nintendoage-september-2017-bubsy-2-for-gamegear/
Notably, Bubsy II is an early example of a video which uses an adaptive soundtrack. The levels' music changes tempo based on Bubsy's speed, and the levels will play different parts of their themes when certain enemies or objects are on-screen.
== Development ==
Development 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". The sequel moved into full production after the first game was released and was a commercial success.[6] However, a different new development team headed by designer Cyndi Kirkpatrick was responsible for making the game, without original designer Michael Berlyn's assistance. Like the original, the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo version are virtually identical, however, the Game Boy version is drastically different, with different level design and only black and white graphics, unless played on a Super Game Boy, which applied very basic coloring. Rob Paulsen, who had previously voiced Bubsy in the tv pilot, reprises his role as him.https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/video-games/Bubsy-II/
== Gameplay ==
The plot is a crazy doctor, Oinker P. Hamm, has created a theme park, the Amazatorium, that is stealing historical events. Bubsy brings his nephew and his niece to the park, so it is up to him and his friend, Arnold the Armadillo, to stop the doctor and close the Amazatorium.
The game plays very similar to the prior game in the series, as a 2D sidescrolling platformer. Unlike the first game where playing through the stages is linear, in Bubsy 2 the player gets to choose stages. The player must still maneuver Bubsy through the level through jumping and gliding, and Bubsy still collects objects, only now they're "orbs" instead of "yarnballs". The game did feature a little more variety than its predecessor. One new feature in the game was the ability to shoot a Nerf gun. A multiplayer mode was added as well, where a second player could control one of Bubsy's younger relatives.
==Levels==
In Bubsy II, the player is given the option to which stages that the Bubsy can transverse in. From the start of the game, you can choose from East Wing or West Wing which share different stages. Each floor consists of five stages which each share its own seperate theme such as: Egypt, Space, Music, Aerial and Medieval. Once completed, the player will have to go to a boss level before proceeding to the next floor. On the third/final floor, Bubsy will face off against Oinker P. Hammm beating the game.
