Bubsy 2 is 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 in 1994 for the Sega Genesis, Super NES, and Game Boy, and re-released for Microsoft Windows through Steam on December 17, 2015.
The game plays very similar to the prior game in the series, as a 2D sidescrolling platformer. 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 multi-player mode was added as well, where a second player could control one of Bubsy's younger relatives.
The game was developed due to the success of the original title. 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 Genesis and Super NES 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.
