Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
I covered the Sega Genesis of the original Bubsy many moons ago. It was one of the few games I owned for the system back in the day, and while it was never a serious pretender to the likes of Sonic or Mario, It's not as bad as some make it out to be. The game follows the exploits of one Bubsy, who is on a mission to save Earth's supply of yarn balls from an invading race of aliens, known as "Woolies". This is as much exposition as one needs for a game of this type which, when all said and done, amounts to combing expansive levels full of platforms for collectibles, bouncing on the heads of enemies to dispose of them, and finding the way to the exit.
In terms of features, the game has some of the most expansive levels in the genre, at least for its time. Unlike the Genesis longplay video, I spent more time investigating each level, which added over an hour to the total completion time. Whether you would actually want to do this under normal playing conditions is debatable, but there's a certainly a big 'ol slice of platforming to be had, should you wish it be so.
It's a shame, therefore, that level design, at least in my opinion, is one of the areas where Bubsy falls short. Whereas the levels in Sonic the Hedgehog are carefully curated experiences that players can learn over successive attempts, the levels here feel like sprawling expanses of randomness, which you just plough through until you finally reach the end.
It also doesn't help that the controls aren't as refined as they could be. The level of inertia applied to Bubsy when you stop moving, coupled with the camera system, means that traveling at speed carries a far higher risk than in Sonic or Mario; you can't stop in sufficient time to deal with an oncoming hazard.
As to any differences between Sega and Nintendo versions of the game, the audio quality in the SNES is definitely an improvement. The digital speech samples spoken by Bubsy at the start of each level are noticeably clearer and can be understood, at least compared to the crackly warbling on the Genesis.
If you can look past its faults, Bubsy is a reasonable-enough game. There's plenty of content to keep you platforming for many an hour, provided you have a sufficiently attuned pain threshold to cope with its various gripes.
Video Notes
---------------------------------------------------
The score counter mysteriously reset itself to zero on level 11; this is not a continuity error.

It's rather telling that in one of the recent _Bubsy_ releases (was it "Woolies Strike Back"? I honestly can't remember), there was a setting about how often you wanted Bubsy to talk. The highest setting was "Bubsy". That's all I have to say about this character and his games.
And yes, woolies strike back is the newest bubsy game
Paws on fire is the newest bubsy game
Still got this one on my old genesis/megadrive
Loved it but as people said it is brutally difficult at some point.
Funny to hear music that are not on the Sega console (such as when you enter a kind of cave in chapter 2 the music switch but not on Genesis) and the different shirts special effect are different and worst on Genesis I would have loved to see dark bubsy when I got a black shirt it is awesome but on Genesis it sadly didn't
Anyway a cool game with a very bad reputation somehow (at least this one busy 2 and the jaguar episode are something else)
Imo, the Sega Genesis version is my preferred version to play, jumping has a lot less weight to it, and the camera isn’t cropped, the snes version has an edge with its sound however, compared to the SG’s Soundtrack, it’s almost night and day.
With the sound track, is it just me or is there a bug with the sound in snes?
Edit: like 2:48 for example. When bubsy does that animation on snes the sound just loses some of its... soundiness, if it makes sense. Genesis doesn't have this issue
Double edit: other than this, for the most part snes sound > genesis sound, and for that matter old dos games too
Underated gem of a game.
Too bad that, developers those days don´t take the risk, of making games like Bubsy (2D plattformer) anymore.
Well maybe except for Nintendo.
And this is where indies shine people 😐
Shovel knight, cuphead, super meat boy, C.A.R.L... anyone?
Edit: megaman 11 is a 2.5D platformer
Not a good example to use this crap game as an example of the "good ol' days."
This game has always been one of my favourite platformers. It doesn’t deserve the hate it gets, imo
man, I freaking love this game! and the best of its sequels, hate for bubsy is just plain lame and annoying towards me, bubsy deserves love instead of hate, you heard right folks, JUSTICE FOR BUBSY❗❗❗

Top SNES ❤😊
Hope that you can make even the sequel, Bubsy II (SNES).
I remember playing This one for the pc and i thought it was so good dont really know why 😂😂😂
Ah yes, the platformer with fall damage - what can pawssibly go wrong?
JK, love this one, but the later stages (I particularly and un-fondly remember the Rollercoaster and the UFO ones) are brutal
Erm, you can glide to prevent the damage
@@alexbork4250 - Still is a crap game either way. Gravity Circuit or Contra is what Bubsy should play like while not being owned by a shitty company like Accolade.
Genesis-tastic 9-bit colour, on a machine with 15-bit colour... Was the original art drawn explicitly for the Sega machine, or did they just lose the source art, I wonder?
This game gets alotta unnecessary hate for no good reason other than the usual "I kept rushing ahead how I think you play a Sonic game.".
Too bad you didn't go for the Genesis version as the higher resolution helps.
The Mega Drive version runs in the same res. Bubsy 2, however, does run in a higher res on the MD

Slight worse than Sonic, but 200% better than Miraculouz.
*You are talking about Miraculous Ladybug, right? Almost anything is better than that garbage! Even an Acclaim game.*
Much worse than Sonic, but 200% better than Miraculouz.
*Fixed.*
One of the best looney tunes game ever😂😂😂, i love bubsy❗❗❗
Agree to disagree. *Bugs Bunny in Rabbit Rampage* is way better than this borefest.
Me And Julio: Close Encounter Of Furried Kind
Nobody gives a shit about this Julio and especially you!
This game has developed a terrible reputation as years went by, but I don't think it is that bad. I played the Mega Drive version when I was a kid and I enjoyed it. That being said, Bubsy is too fast. If he was a little bit slower, the game would have been better.
Wrong! If *Bubsy* played like *Gravity Circuit* or *Contra* AND wasn't owned by a sack of a dogshit company called Accolade, then Bubsy would be alright. But keep defending Accolade's shittiness!
IT SHOULD BE ME AND JULIO IN CLOSE ENCOUNTER OG FURRIED KINDBUBSY THE BOBCAT IS JUST A SCREW UP
Agreed so many haters for Bubsy but I enjoyed them apart from the PS1 version
