Overview and Gameplay
Mean Eugene tears up Chester Cheetah’s map to Hip City and scatters the pieces across the United States. This SNES sequel sends Chester through a side-scrolling platform route built around city selection, map-piece recovery, and boss fights.
The player chooses available locations on a U.S. map, clears regular stages, collects the required map piece, reaches the goal sign, and defeats a boss. Completing stages opens more cities, with Rally, North Carolina serving as the final racing showdown after the nine main map pieces are recovered.
