Toy Story 2 Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue

Game Description

Toy Story 2 Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue is a platform game based on Pixar’s computer-animated film Toy Story 2 from 1999. It is the follow-up to the original Toy Story video game. It was released in late 1999 for the Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Microsoft Windows, and Macintosh, with a Dreamcast version following in 2000. The computer versions were titled Disney/Action Pixar’s Game, and Toy Story 2. In 1999, a different version, Toy Story 2, a side-scrolling platform game, was released for the Game Boy Color.

Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue! was re-released in 2011 as a downloadable PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable game, followed by a downloadable PlayStation Vita re-release in 2012. A sequel based on Toy Story 3 was released 11 years later.

[title] Gameplay

Home console and computer version

The home console and computer versions put the player in control of Buzz Lightyear as he travels across fifteen levels (ten main levels and five boss levels) based on and inspired by locations from the film to save Woody. Buzz can attack enemies with a wrist laser that can be charged for more power and can also be aimed from a first-person perspective. Buzz also has a spin attack that can be charged up to become a continuous spin. Buzz can also perform a double jump by extending his wings and stomping his feet to activate switches. The player can obtain a laser power-up, which provides Buzz with a limited supply of charged-up laser shots, as well as extra lives and health-replenishing batteries.

The main goal of Toy Story 2 Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue is to collect Pizza Planet tokens scattered throughout the stages. Each level contains five Pizza Planet tokens, which can be obtained by completing various objectives such as fighting a mini-boss, solving a puzzle, completing a timed challenge or winning a race against another character, or assisting a character in finding five of a specific object hidden throughout the level. Each level also contains a number of coins, 50 of which can be collected and given to Hamm in exchange for a token. Certain objectives necessitate the use of a special power-up, which must first be unlocked at a particular level by retrieving one of Mr. Potato Head’s missing body parts. A barrier that protects Buzz from damage, rocket boots that launch him at high speeds, a disc launcher that zeroes in on enemies, a grappling hook for climbing up high ledges, and hover boots for floating up to high places are all available as power-ups. While only one Pizza Planet token is required to complete a level, certain levels require a certain number of tokens to unlock. With the exception of the Nintendo 64 version, completing each level unlocks FMV clips from the film.  Instead, in between levels, the Nintendo 64 version shows screenshots from the film accompanied by text. This is due to the Nintendo 64 cartridge’s storage limitations.

Game Boy Color version

The Game Boy Color version is a side-scrolling platform game that has nothing to do with the other versions. Buzz, who can jump, run, and shoot his laser at enemies, is controlled by the player. It has 11 levels, including two bonus levels that can be accessed by collecting all of the coins in certain levels.  Because the Game Boy Color only has two action buttons, Buzz runs and jumps by pressing the B button. The player can jump and move across gaps while standing motionless, whereas running is initiated by pressing the B button while moving. A password feature is used to save game progress.
