Poor edits of Bubsy 1's sprites. Why does his face keep twitching, but specially, why does his head look like that when he walks up a hill??? That animation looks really messed up! Not only do these re-used sprites not fit with the rest of the game's art-style, but also like man, it's the third game in the series, come on, it's time to re-draw the protagonist. I also had that problem with Bubsy 2 but they did a much better job there, and even gave him some nice new sprites. Why didn't they use those here, at least?

So there's also the what was originally the popped like balloon sprites, they edited out the pupils (or at least made them semi-black or left only one pixel) presumably to make them look smaller.

A good example of "Just because they can, doesn't mean they should."

i got bored and decided to compare all the sprites from this game with the sprites from Bubsy 1, here's what i found worth noting
- yellow exclamation mark on his shirt, obviously
- all the sprites have a different color palette and a lot of them even have different shading
- they changed his expression in a few of the sprites in the idle, which makes him look kinda weird
- on the idle too, they ended up keeping his feet up during one of the tapping animations for an extra frame
- on the time out sprites, the string got changed a little in a few frames
- the walking animation has received 2 extra frames
- the angled versions of the walking animation seems to have been done from scratch instead of taken from the first game, which makes sense if you think about it, why would they reshade the angled sprites when they could just angle their already shaded walking sprites?
- for some reason he looks really dopey in the walking uphill sprite
- one frame of his somersault sprite have been altered to make his eyes look directly at the player (creepy)
- his attacking sprite (the one after you jump on an enemy) is COMPLETELY different, but very similar
- his pushing animation has it's first few frames changed to make his head a little higher, they added a cute little exclamation mark on top of his head, and changed the last few frames to make him stare at the player again (the hell is he looking at??)
- in the slipping animation, they shrunk his pupils to make him look more scared, even making him grit his teeth for one frame
- the crashing into a wall animation has one frame of stars missing
-the fallinjg after craashing into a wall animation is missing a few transition frames (that were mostly reused from the somersault animation) and they also changed the frame where he's lying on the floor to have his eyes closed (good, that way he can't stare at me no more)
- in the first teetering on a ledge animation,,,,, they slightly changed one of his thumbs in one frame
- in the second teetering animation.... they didn't really do anything notable
- in the victory animation, they tweaked his eyes on the first frame and as another comment pointed out, they forgot to give him pupils on the second one.
- the getting hit mid air sprites, it's worth noting, these are completely unaltered from Bubsy 1, other than the fact they rotated it around a bit, there are a few others that are also unchanged
- sinking animations, as another comment pointed out, the flag has been changed into whatt looks like the confederate flag
and that's it as far as im concerned

Why'd you make his face look like that it looks weird af

This Bubsy looks really weird, I don't know, he's maybe the ugliest in the series. (That smile... Ugh).

Herobub

why is everything so spaced out? compactness was not the first thing coming into the ripper's mind

why does he look like that in the second sprite for his victory animation
