Toy Story 2 (USA, Europe) (GBC)

In Toy Story 2 for the Game Boy Color, players step into the boots of Buzz Lightyear on an exciting adventure to rescue Woody from the clutches of the nefarious toy collector, Al McWhiggin. The game is a side-scrolling platformer featuring a variety of diverse levels, each presenting its own unique challenges and objectives.

The primary goal in each level often revolves around collecting Pizza Planet Tokens, which are usually hidden or require the player to complete a small task to acquire. Players need to thoroughly explore the environment, solve simple puzzles, and overcome various obstacles. Buzz possesses several abilities to aid him on his journey. He can jump, punch to attack enemies at close range, or utilize his laser to attack from a distance. Another crucial ability is his hover, which allows Buzz to traverse large gaps or reach difficult-to-access areas.

Levels are designed based on familiar locations from the movie, including Andy's house, Al's Toy Barn, and the airport. Each area features unique enemies and traps. Players will encounter various malfunctioning or controlled toys, from small robots to moving hazards. At the end of each "world" or certain levels, Buzz will face challenging boss battles, requiring players to master Buzz's skills and discover the enemy's weaknesses.

Beyond collecting Pizza Planet Tokens, players can also gather coins or other items to increase their score or restore health. The game encourages exploration, and occasionally, secret paths lead to bonus items. With detailed 2D graphics and classic platforming gameplay, Toy Story 2 offers an engaging and enjoyable experience for fans of the movie and the genre.
