Added DiffLines:
* SlowLaser: Both the ''laser chaingun'' for Kurt and the ''ray gun'' for Max don't really work like lasers at all. They're more akin to pulse guns.

''[=MDK2=]'' begins right where the last game left off, where reluctant Hero Kurt Hectic -- a janitor employed aboard Dr. Fluke Hawkins' [[SpaceStation orbital space station]], the ''Jim Dandy'' -- is sent to deal with the last minecrawler in Canada instead of enjoying his well-earned break from fighting off the last batch of minecrawlers. After killing the pilot, Kurt is promptly kidnapped by a rather huge alien called [[TheDragon Shwang Shwing.]] From here, the characters Kurt Hectic, Fluke Hawkins, and Hawkins's assistant/guard -- a six-legged, bipedal robotic dog named Max -- take turns saving one another, until they finally confront the Emperor of the alien empire, Zizzy Balooba.

* Max places emphasis on raw firepower, able to wield a gun in each paw ([[MoreDakka for a total of 4 guns]]). Max's levels consist of getting from A to B, utilizing his guns for clearing rooms of enemies, broken up with a few vertical jetpack platforming areas. Unlike the other characters, he is able to destroy barricades (and certain walls) just by shooting them up. His playing style means that he is more than likely to be surrounded and attacked, but he has a much higher health bar when compared to the other two characters (200%, compared to Kurt's 100% and Hawkins' 60% health)
