A Word From Bubsy
Just think of it. Me. Bubsy Bobcat. Fabulously talented star of game and screen, reduced to pushing Amazatorium Tours for Dr. V. Reality. Oh sure. It sounds like fun. But maybe you should read the fine print in your travel brochure before making me your trusty travel guide...
The Object Of The Game
To complete the game in a victorious manner, you must reach and then defeat Oinker P. Hamm. To locate Oinker, travel through all the levels of the selected tour in the Amazatorium, making sure to tag the end of level markers (large marbles) in each world.
Important Items
The Amazatorium has three floors. The number of levels will depend on the type of tour you choose. Each tour increases with difficulty, ranging from the First Floor Tour as the mildest, to the Grand Tour as the longest and most difficult.
Setting Up The Game
•
Make sure the power switch is OFF.
•
Insert the Bubsy II game pak into the Game Boy by following the instructions in your user's manual.
•
Turn the power switch On. If nothing appears on-screen, re-check your game pak to be sure it is inserted properly.
•
After the title screens appear, press the START Button to begin a new game.
Important
Always make sure that the Game Boy is turned OFF when inserting or removing a game pak.
Third Floor Tour
This tour takes me directly to the top floor of the Amazatorium. This floor is packed with tough henchmen and one furious boss. Is it too late to change my reservation?
Remember, no matter which tour you choose, I must TAG THE END OF LEVEL MARKER (large marble) in each world before facing Oinker.
Grand Tour
The Grand Tour is the most difficult. It covers all three floors of Egypt, Music and Aerial worlds, including an expanded version of the first and second floor levels. That's 9 glorious levels!
Before I can move from one floor to another, I must TAG THE END OF LEVEL MARKER located in each world and fight the interim boss. After I've completed all three floors, I'll face the ultimate challenge of battling Oinker.
Hint
On all tours, except the First Floor Tour, some of Oinker's henchmen will take multiple hits before they decide to go out for lunch.
Private Excursion
Totally alone, I'll brave the dangers of the Amazatorium. Totally alone, I'll face a crowd of frenzied, barnyard animals... You want me to do this alone? ARE YOU NUTS?!
Note
If you lose all your lives, the tour is OVER. (No refunds. Each tour-ticket sale is final. Have a nice day.)
Mini-Games
I'm tellin' you now, as your trusted tour guide, that no frogs, or bobcats were harmed in the making of Frogapult or Armadillo Drop. Honest. Cat's Honor. Cross my heart and hope to fry...
High Score
When you're playing for High Score, pick up every marble and treasure you can find. Search thoroughly, but don't waste too much time. You have only 10 minutes to get through each level.
Get it? Got it? Good.
Sound and Music
Select the right amounts of each to suit your mood. The choices are: Music and SFX, No Sound, Music Only, SFX Only.
Mid-Level Markers
When I get to an exclamation point, I'm part way through a level. Be sure you make me tag this mid-level marker—when I lose a life, I'll come back to the last one I tagged. Also, every second mid-level marker I tag will heal me and reset the number of hits I've taken to 0.
Useable Items
Find and collect these nifty items. They'll help you during the tour.
Portable Hole
•
Press the SELECT Button until the Portable Hole is selected.
•
Press the A Button once and I'll be rarin' to go.
•
Press the A Button again and I'll dive through the hole and arrive back at the Amazatorium.
I can leave a level and come back as often as I want. (Bobcats crave that kind of freedom.) But the level won't be counted as complete until I tag the end of level marker. On the other paw, any other move will make me put the hole away and continue with the level.
