Bubsy moves with {{left}} and {{right}} and crouches with {{down}}. He jumps with {{A}} or {{B}}; he jumps much higher if he gets a running start. He defeats Woolies by jumping on top of them. While in the air, he can glide with {{A}} or "pounce" (bounce off enemies) with {{B}}. He can "super pounce" by pouncing on enemies while gliding, which sends him high into the air. He can look up by holding {{up}} or look down by holding {{down}}. The player can pan the camera with {{C}}+{{left}} or {{C}}+{{right}}. He enters passageways, which often lead to secret rooms, by pressing {{up}} while standing in front of them. | ||

+ | Bubsy starts off with nine lives and loses a life if he touches an enemy, an enemy attack, or other hazard, if he falls in water, or if he falls from a great height. Levels are timed, so Bubsy also loses a life if time runs out. The game ends if he runs out of lives, but it can be continued as long as the player has continues remaining. | ||
