The games never made any commercial success, or recognition by that matter until ''Bubsy 3D'', sadly, which proved to be the FranchiseKiller. The 2D games are rather challenging and silly, so give them a run when you get the chance.

''Bubsy'' is a series of {{Platform Game}}s released in the early- to mid-1990s by Accolade, starring a [[MascotWithAttitude bobcat with attitude]] meant to [[FollowTheLeader capitalize on the popularity]] (at the time) of SonicTheHedgehog. Bubsy can jump up to about twice his height, and can glide to slow himself down when he falls by holding out his arms like an airplane. It is, as the description implies, rather cartoonish.

* FakeDifficulty: Discussed in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTAlr5raV2U this]] JonTron. For those who don't feel like watching, in the first two games, your field of vision is very limited, making it hard to tell where you should go and what's just offscreen trying to kill you. In addition the games have falling damage, rather pointless in a 2D platformer where you cannot predict where you're going to land and where falling is a natural part of the progression.

* ''Bubsy II'' (1994, multiple systems)
* ''Bubsy in: Fractured Furry Tales'' (1994, AtariJaguar)
* ''Bubsy 3D: Furbitten Planet'' (1997, PlayStation)

----
! ''Bubsy'' tropes:
* AmusingInjuries
* AnimalStereotypes: Bubsy is a type of cat, and therefore instantly [[SuperDrowningSkills drowns if he touches water]].
* AnimatedActors: Bubsy has threatened to walk off the set multiple times.
* BandLand: Musicland in ''Bubsy II''.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: If you didn't press any buttons, Bubsy would eventually knock on the TV screen and yell at you.
--> ''"Hello?!"''
* ButtMonkey: Bubsy, in the original outing. His level-opener lines started with "WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong" and eventually end up as "[[IsThereADoctorInTheHouse Is there a veterinarian in the audience?]]"
** In the second game, his sidekick Arnold the Armadillo took this role.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "{{What Could Possibly Go Wrong}}"
** Also the name of the pilot episode itself.
** Since the release of Bubsy 3D, the most common answer to that is "This."
* CatsHaveNineLives: You start with nine lives in the first game, literally. And you will lose them fast if you don't know what you're doing.
* CirclingBirdies: This happens if Bubsy hits a wall after running into it too fast. (This is one of the ''very'' few injuries you can inflict on Bubsy that does ''not'' kill him).
* CuteLittleFangs: Bubsy, his nephew Terry, and his niece Terri all have them.
* DifficultySpike: Every third chapter in the first game threw every obstacle at you that it could and doesn't ease up.
* FracturedFairyTale: The premise of ''Fractured Furry Tales'' is that Bubsy goes around "humbling" the bad guys from storybooks like ''Jack and the Beanstalk'' and ''Alice in Wonderland''.
* GoombaSpringboard: A very useful tactic to rank up a ton of points and clear large gaps (and the whole stage if you're so inclined).
* HumanlikeFootAnatomy
* IdleAnimation
* {{Jerkass}}: Bubsy, Bubsy, Bubsy.
* KickTheDog: From Bubsy himself, no less, during the ending of Claws Encounter of the Furred Kind.
* TheManyDeathsOfYou: Mostly it was Bubsy smiling, then falling down, but the rest was rather funny. It's usually the only reason why most players didn't [[NintendoHard throw their controllers through the television]].
** Bubsy has a death animation for every kind of obstacle, sometimes ''multiple'' ones. See if you can find them all!
* MascotWithAttitude
* OneHitPointWonder: The first game only. The sequels gave him an [[HitPoints idiosyncratic health meter]].
** He doesn't even have to be hit to die in the first game as it seems even breathing on him will kill him. This is taken to ridiculous levels in one stage where he'll die by jumping onto a platform that's covered by an inch of water!
* ProductPlacement: In ''Bubsy II'', you have the ability to buy Nerf Bazookas and shoot Nerf Balls at enemies.
* PunnyName: All of the woolies in the game are named after types of material. The queens are named Polly and Esther, and their assistant is named Professor Nylon.
* RobPaulsen: Did Bubsy's voice in the animated pilot and ''Bubsy II''.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Upon seeing the level title "Eye of the Bobcat", Bubsy says: "That's it, I'm outta here, you can't make me...", and runs off the screen.
* SphereEyes
* SuperDrowningSkills: In the first game, Bubsy will die if even his toes touch water.
* TagalongKid: Bubsy's nephew Terry, and niece Terri in the second game. They could be controlled by a second player.
* WhoWritesThisCrap: One of the sound bytes heard before a level in Bubsy II is "Who wrote this stuff?!" Bubsy is referring to the [[AWorldwidePunomenon punny]] level titles.
