Overview and Gameplay
Biff has scrambled history, scattering 30 objects across Hill Valley in 1955, 1985, and 2015. Marty explores side-scrolling streets, unlocks timed Object Rooms, solves scrambled-name puzzles, and returns each item to its proper place and era. Finishing the Part II mission opens a shorter Part III chapter in the Old West, where 10 more objects must be recovered without time travel.
