'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a platform game developed by [[Traveller's Tales]] and published by [[Psygnosis]] in 1993 for the [[Sega Mega Drive]], [[Sega Mega-CD]] and Commodore Amiga computers. In the US, the Mega Drive and Mega-CD versions were released on the first day of [[Winter CES 1994]]; January 6th{{intref| Press release: 1994-01-06: PSYGNOSIS RELEASES PUGGSY FOR SEGA GENESIS AND SEGA CD}}.

'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a [[Sega Mega Drive]] puzzle platform game developed by [[Traveller's Tales]] and published by [[Psygnosis]]. First released in Europe in June 1993 to moderate reception, it has since seen a modern reappraisal as one of the more clever and charming examples of the genre, and is notable for its high production values and unique object-based physics system dubbed "Total Object Interaction"{{fileref|Puggsy MD EU Manual.pdf|page=28}} (abbreviated as ''TOI'').
  
−
The game was notable at the time of release for having an unusual physics system which the manual calls "Total Object Interaction"{{fileref|Puggsy MD EU Manual.pdf|page=28}}, in which Puggsy can use various objects for aiding him in battle, and for helping him solve puzzles to proceed.
+
The following November, the company ported ''Puggsy'' to the [[Sega Mega-CD]], boasting additional level and boss fights, a CD-quality soundtrack, and [[full-motion video]] cutscenes.

The general goal of each level is to reach the exit as directed by the arrow on the HUD, though in most cases, the player will need to solve puzzles and overcome hazards using whatever objects they encounter during a level, such as a key to open locked doors, a gun to shoot enemies with, water pistols to douse flames. Just about every type of item can be carried into the goal for bonus points and extra lives (up to five items can be carried into the goal at a time). Some levels may have alternate exits that will lead the player to secret levels should they be able to find them. Certain levels will end in boss fights, in which the player needs to find a solution in order to inflict damage to a boss.

In the United States, the [[Mega Drive]] and [[Mega-CD]] versions were released on the first day of [[Winter CES 1994]]: January 6th, 1994.{{intref| Press release: 1994-01-06: PSYGNOSIS RELEASES PUGGSY FOR SEGA GENESIS AND SEGA CD}}
−
The Puggsy character originally came from a Commodore Amiga demo named "Puggs in Space", which proved to be so successful that an entire game was made out of it.
 
−
 
 
−
A [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]] version of the game was planned, but cancelled, and sequels were supposedly in the works before being axed too. According to designer and programmer [[Jon Burton]], the SNES version was completed, but the home console market crashed before release due to a flood of publishers trying to get a slice of the market which led to oversaturation, and as a result the Mega Drive version of this game and ''[[Wiz 'n' Liz]]'' had very poor sales. As such, publisher Psygnosis quickly dropped their plans to release SNES ports of those games.{{ref|1=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzeTpf1HGQE}} However, SNES conversions of some of the music tracks would be repurposed for the Mega-CD version.{{ref|1=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzeTpf1HGQE}}

Puggsy is a Sega Mega Drive puzzle platform game developed by Traveller's Tales and published by Psygnosis. First released in Europe in June 1993 to moderate reception, it has since seen a modern reappraisal as one of the more clever and charming examples of the genre, and is notable for its high production values and unique object-based physics system dubbed "Total Object Interaction"[12] (abbreviated as TOI).

The following November, the company ported Puggsy to the Sega Mega-CD, boasting additional level and boss fights, a CD-quality soundtrack, and full-motion video cutscenes.

Story

The portly orange alien Puggsy has crashed his spaceship on a strange planet, and has quickly had his ship stolen by the world's inhabitants. Determined to return home, he sets out to get his spaceship back.

Gameplay

The D-Pad is used to move around. By default, the C button jumps; while in mid-air, the player can press and hold Down to stomp on enemies (stomping is automatic in the Mega-CD version). To pick up an item, press B; to drop it, press B again; also, holding up or any diagonally upward direction then pressing B will throw the item upwards. A is used to interact with the item Puggsy is holding (e.g. while holding a shield, press A to gain invincibility). Multiple items can be stacked on top of each other and carried.

The general goal of each level is to reach the exit as directed by the arrow on the HUD, though in most cases, the player will need to solve puzzles and overcome hazards using whatever objects they encounter during a level, such as a key to open locked doors, a gun to shoot enemies with, water pistols to douse flames. Just about every type of item can be carried into the goal for bonus points and extra lives (up to five items can be carried into the goal at a time). Some levels may have alternate exits that will lead the player to secret levels should they be able to find them. Certain levels will end in boss fights, in which the player needs to find a solution in order to inflict damage to a boss.

In addition to the main game, there is also a Junior mode which presents the player with a short five-level game that helps the player get accustomed to the game's mechanics. The levels in this mode are simpler versions of the levels played in the main game. The Mega-CD version also adds a Time Trial mode, and allows the player to refight any defeated boss via the title screen.

Puggsy MCD HermanTheHermit.png

Herman the Hermit
This boss is one of three bosses that is only fought in the Mega-CD version of the game, encountered at The Beach. Herman will attack by jumping up and down, and periodically blow bubbles containing shells. The player will have to pop the bubbles and drop the shells on Herman's head to hurt him.

Puggsy MCD PollyPirate.png

Polly Pirate
Fought at the end of The Cove, Polly jumps around firing at Puggsy. All Puggsy has to defend himself is the odd fish that gets washed up on deck. The player has to position Puggsy near the fish and fire it at Polly to inflict damage.

Puggsy MCD TheEmperorsOldClothes.png

The Emperor's Old Clothes
The boss of Redwood Keep attacks Puggsy by dropping his large hands onto him. To defeat him, the player has to position Puggsy on top of the switches embedded in the floor to open trapdoors in the ceiling above the boss, dropping balls on his head.

Puggsy MCD FlourPower.png

Flour Power
The miller fought in Badger Mill will throw bags of flour at Puggsy. The player will have to use the levers where Puggsy is standing to operate the claw and grab the flour bags, then place them onto the conveyor belt to drop onto the miller.

Puggsy MD SoPharaohSoGood.png

So Pharaoh So Good
Fought at the Pyramids, the pharaoh flies around in a large raccoon head-shaped ship and emerges from its nose, holding a plunger. To attack the pharaoh, the player must have Puggsy step on the pressure pads on the floor to fire a plunger at the pharaoh, while also taking care not to get hit by the plungers.

This boss is also the only boss fought in Junior mode.

Puggsy MCD DarkskullCastleGuardian.png

Darkskull Castle Guardian
This unnamed boss, encountered only in the Mega-CD version, is fought in Darkskull Castle. He is a mouse who wields a possessed sword that flies all around the castle with him hanging onto the hilt. The player has to avoid the sword and butt stomp the boss whenever he flies low.

Puggsy MCD HalitosisTheDragon.png

Halitosis the Dragon
This boss, fought in Fire Heart, attacks by tiptoeing back and forth and breathing out fire. The player must wait for him to stop attacking, sneak near him, and jump into his jaw to damage him.

Puggsy MCD RacrockForgeGuardian.png

Racrock Forge Guardian
An unnamed mech that is fought in Racrock Forge in the Mega-CD version only. This boss fight sets itself apart from the other bosses in that it is an FMV with Puggsy's sprite overlayed on top of it. The mech flies around the room underneath the platform and tries to attack Puggsy using the flamethrowers attached to its arms. Puggsy cannot do anything to the boss, so he must avoid its attacks and survive until the room fills up with water and the boss eventually gives up and sinks.

Due to the FMV nature of this boss fight, the player cannot pause the game here, and Puggsy will die in two hits.

Puggsy MD IfLooksCouldKill.png

If Looks Could Kill!
The final boss of the game and the king of the raccoons, who attacks Puggsy by trying to stomp on him, dropping mines in the room, and firing laser beams from his eyes, all of which the player must avoid. The only way to defeat the king is to stand beneath him when he is about to fire his lasers, then move away so the lasers bounce off the floor and directly back into his eyes.
