He also had difficulty finding a good voice for the main character. They also planned the game to be easy to play but hard to master. ĭirector John Skeel said in an interview that they want to create a game as fast as Sonic and as deep as Mario.
After artists Beckett Gladney and Ken Macklin constructed the backgrounds and character animations respectively on a PC program, a group named Solid Software went on to program them for the Super NES. The Genesis version, which was the first one being worked on, was to be released in late 1992 but Accolade's legal troubles with Sega caused the game to be delayed. Earlier sketches show Bubsy wearing shoes which were omitted in the final design.
Eventually burning out on the genre, he came across the original Sonic the Hedgehog and ended up playing it 14 hours a day, for a whole week, in order to find inspiration to do his own take on it. Development ĭesigner Michael Berlyn had previously designed adventure video games, such as Altered Destiny and Les Manley in: Search for the King, prior to his work on Bubsy. In general, the game's gameplay has been compared to the Sonic the Hedgehog games from the Genesis era. The game consists of sixteen levels, and Bubsy starts off with nine lives. The player must maneuver Bubsy through the levels, jumping on Woolies, and collecting stray yarn balls (which earns the player an extra life if 500 are collected). The game plays as a 2D side-scrolling platformer. Since Bubsy has the world's largest collection of yarn balls, he has the most at stake and sets out to stop the Woolies and reclaim the yarn balls. When you put it on a Super Game Boy, it applied very basic coloring.In the game, enemy aliens called "Woolies" intend to steal Earth's supply of yarn balls.This port has a weapon, that the original doesn't have, even though, it supposed to have in the original plan: a pie.So it looks like, that it was first released in Europe, because it was produced by Images Software in England. It was released in North America on July 10th 1995 by Accolade and in Europe on December 12th 1994 by Telstar. The Game Boy port was published, but not the Game Gear port.īubsy II for Game Boy and Sega Game Gear (Credits) When they released Bubsy II for Sega Genesis and for Super Nintendo, they decided to port it on the Game Boy and on the Sega Game Gear. It has a different level design, it has black and white graphics and it has slow frame rate. The story is the same as the original, but it is of course different in gameplay.
