Bubsy II - a video game in the genre of platformer . Contrary to public opinion, the events of this game are not related to the events of Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind . Bubsy II continues the events of the canceled series of the spin-off " Bubsy ", which had only a pilot release. In the first game there were no nephews, pets, the city of Nii-Bend - the attributes of the pilot cartoon season. In the comic strip of the first game, in addition to Babsi and the Vuli, there were forest animals, and a hunter from whom Babsi once saved them. Dr.V.R. also appeared in the series and in the comics. In the "paperwork" of the first game, Babsi is portrayed with long sleeves, and in the "second" - with short ones, as in the series.

Gameplay
The game is a platformer with side scrolling. According to the graphic design (the use of two-dimensional graphics with elements of a three-dimensional perspective ), the versions of the game are similar to each other, but differ in the number of levels.
The gameplay is approximately as follows. As in most platformer games, the character moves through closed location levels, destroys enemies and collects various objects.
Levels are divided into two types: regular (game) and bonus. The main task at the game levels is to go through them from beginning to end. In bonus levels, you need to collect as many prizes and bonuses in a certain time.
Enemies in the game are diverse and numerous. Like the games of the Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog series , the hero can destroy enemies by jumping from above; the higher the difficulty, the greater the amount of health they possess. To destroy the protagonist , opponents usually need only a few hits; falling from high altitude can also result in loss of life.
- There are no bosses as such in the game, however, after completing all levels, the character meets the main boss - a huge robot controlled by Gründel There are also a lot of useful items. Basically, they replenish health and increase the number of game points.
To get to inaccessible platforms and go down, the character uses "High Jump" and the ability to "plan."
