"Everyone comes up with a mascot and has their own mascot's video game so we should do something about it too!!!" -- Accolade lolol.

As the great Jontron once said: "Bubsy 3D! Literally a platformer!"

 

[Clippy]

I think the Internet has voiced its collective opinion on this one loud enough. Has anyone tried actually beating the game?

 

[Viviana Santos]

By far one of the worst games ever created, it's so fucking bad, and I don't care about the fact that it was developed at the same time as Super Mario 64 and Crash Bandicoot, and because of that the developers had no reference to influence the gameplay.

---

The game is still garbage.

 

[Frickinfrik]

I only have two words: It’s shit.

 

[Cantarella]

it may be the single greatest 3D PS1 platformer starring a bobcat that wears an exclamation point shirt ever made

 

[Eclipse14]

It is truly one of the games of all time.

 

[dropsmegamega]

the weakest "simple series" game is still more enjoyable than bubsy 3d first level

 

[Dr.Kisaragi]

I don't have connections because I am not familiar this one I'm more familiar with japanese mascot.

 

[MemeAlert]

Give me a few months to beat it so I can tell you.

I think it's more funny when you know that when the developers were making the game, they had their own doubts about the gameplay itself, and when mario 64 had it's first gameplay reveal at the castle entrance, they saw it and knew that they really f*cked up the game. They knew it was going to failure, but I don't think they thought it would be A MASSIVE failure

One of the few games I've actually avoided playing no matter what.

rips a little honestly, for a 3d platformer made in a cave with a bunch of scraps
can't blame em for much besides, mario 64 wasnt out yet and their only real frame of reference was jumping flash for how a 3d platformer could work in theory; they junked it in the end and the 3d platformer would go into a more free form objective based direction instead but they couldnt have known that, neat little history box though very much a fossil

Super Mario 64 was out for months when this game released. Developers had zero excuses.

Like @Golden Bat stated, it was made in the unga bunga caveman days of 3D console gaming, so some slack can be given. It doesn't forgive the fact that it's an awful game, and I don't know if its being beaten has ever been documented honestly, and I don't care enough to even look.

I think the Bubsy IP was acquired by Atari at the time I am typing this. Hell, if nothing else, the game is somewhat akin to Superman 64, so bad and everyone knows about it. If you where to make even a subpar Bubsy game, it might just sell well enough for the shits and giggles.

So, my thoughts on Bubsy 3D?
I don't have any. It was a horrible game then, and it still is.

Super Mario 64 was out for months when this game released. Developers had zero excuses.

they had a couple. mario 64 was out for about a month or two at most, and even they had a chance to play it, that's not enough time to get a good grasp on everything needed on how to make a proper 3d game engine.
more importantly though; the team making bubsy 3d; had only ever made text adventure games up until that point.
they did learn from this though, as they got to work on a couple of the uncharted games and some soulcalibur games too. and if i remember correctly, bubsy's voice actress is the voice of ivy valentine, but i'll need to double check on that.

Croc also started development before Mario 64 was released, but they had the decency of actually finishing the product before releasing it because they believed it would eventually turn good. Bubsy just rushed the release to trick people into buying a broken mess.

 

[Your_Homie_Gale]

If I remember this correctly, the voice actor for Bubsy 3D would go on to voice Omochao, Rouge the Bat, Lucas (Smash Bros.), Sindel (MK9), and Sheeva (MK9).

How bad can it possibly be?

 

[MajesticSiN]

It was a very stinky game. I wish I could unplay it.

im glad that i never had it.

Think about the hottest, and most humid day of the year.
Now imagine a large animal like a deer, dead in that heat for a week.
Now imagine the smell and how it gets in your mouth, nose, etc.
Think how awful that is. Now multiply that by five, and you'll be close to how bad Bubsy 3D is.
