Overview and Gameplay
Oinker P. Hamm has taken over Dr. V. Reality’s Amazatorium, trapping pieces of world history inside themed exhibits. Bubsy enters the attraction to rescue Terry and Terri, clear tours, and open the way to Oinker.
The game is a side-scrolling platformer built around large themed areas such as Egypt, Music, Space, Medieval, and Aerial stages. Tours change the route and length of the game, from shorter floor tours to the full Grand Tour. Bubsy collects marbles and treasures, tags markers, uses checkpoints, and must reach enough end markers to unlock the boss door.

- He can take multiple hits, and patch-up items help recover from damage.

- Mini-games and vehicle sections add short breaks from standard platforming.
