Plot[]
Red Ball, king of the country, was taking a walk one day with his crown proudly adorned atop his head. However, a gust of wind came out of nowhere, taking Red Ball by surprise and blowing his crown off. Worried about how his subjects will treat him without his crown, he set out to locate the beloved item, beginning his adventure.
Gameplay[]
Much like the first Red Ball game, Red Ball 2 is a simple platforming game in which you have to navigate past various hazards to get to the end in each level - however, in this game you must also collect all the stars in each level before you can exit to the next level. The game has 20 levels (plus five bonus levels which are significantly harder than the normal ones), each one unlocked after beating the level before it. Most levels also have hazards that destroy Red Ball on contact. If you touch one of these hazards or fall into a bottomless pit, you get sent back to the most recent checkpoint flag you activated (or the beginning of the level if you haven't reached any checkpoint flags).
Errors[]
- The opening cutscene refers to Red Ball as the "monarchy" of balls instead of the monarch of balls.
