'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''', known as '''''Keiou Yuugekitai: Katsugeki-hen''''' (慶応遊撃隊 活劇編) in Japan, is the sequel to ''[[Keio Flying Squadron]]''. It was released for the [[Sega Saturn]] in Japan and Europe. The game features animated cutscenes provided by [[Studio Pierrot]], who also provided the animation for the cutscenes in the first game.
 +
 
 +
==Story==
 +
The second installment of the series continues the story of Rami Nana-Hikari's adventures as the keeper of the Secret Treasure. A year has passed since the apocalyptic disaster which left a great crater in the center of Edo City. The destruction wrought major economic consequences and while much investment was poured into the public works for the new Edo Castle, the citizens were all feeling the pinch of the recession.
 +
 
 +
Dr. Pon Eho was no exception. Although a freak of nature with an astronomical IQ of 1400, hard reality forced the genius raccoon to become a laborer in the construction of the New Castle. One day, while he was shoveling away some gravel near the center of the crater, he unearthed the Secret Treasure Scroll and one of the Six Magical Orbs! With the knowledge that the six Orbs together would bring him enormous wealth, he quickly left his job in search of the remaining five Orbs listed on the Scroll's map.
 +
 
 +
Meanwhile, Himiko Yamatai, "the Pompous Queen of the Ancients," makes a dramatic appearance at the Nana-Hikari family's dinner table and grabs the family's Magical Orb. But before she can get away, Dr. Pon ambushes her and steals it. Rami makes chase and joins the race for the great treasure, starting her on her new adventure.
 +
 
 +
==Gameplay==
 +
The game is a side-scrolling platformer. Rami walks with {{left}} and {{right}} and crouches with {{down}}. She breaks into a run after walking a short distance in a direction. She jumps with {{C}} and jumps higher if the button is held down longer. She jumps off of platforms with {{down}}+{{C}}. She can pick up items with {{A}} and throw them with {{A}}. If she picks up a weapon, which are sometimes dropped by enemies after they are defeated, she can use it with {{B}}. Rami can set items down or drop her weapon with {{down}}+{{A}}. Enemies can be defeated by hitting them with a weapon, throwing an object at them, or jumping on top of them. Rami climbs ladders with {{up}} and {{down}}. Rami loses her weapon if she takes damage or loses a life if she takes damage without holding a weapon.
 +
 
 +
Two of the stages retain the shoot-'em-up style of the first game. Rami rides Spot, and the pair can be moved in any direction with the D-pad. Spot shoots with {{A}}, {{B}}, or {{C}}, which shoots fireballs and Spot's subweapon (if equipped) simultaneously. Spot's movement speed can be changed with {{X}} (slow), {{Y}} (medium), or {{Z}} (fast). The player loses a life and must start the stage over from the beginning if Spot is hit by an enemy.
 +
 
 +
Defeating most enemies rewards points, but there are some enemies (such as miners) that are considered passive and deduct points when defeated. Points are also deducted for taking damage or losing a life. The points are used in the Extras feature (accessed through the main menu), which unlocks helpful hints and behind-the-scenes extras depending on the highest and lowest scores achieved through playing.

Keio Flying Squadron 2, known as Keiou Yuugekitai: Katsugeki-hen (慶応遊撃隊 活劇編) in Japan, is the sequel to Keio Flying Squadron. It was released for the Sega Saturn in Japan and Europe. The game features animated cutscenes provided by Studio Pierrot, who also provided the animation for the cutscenes in the first game.

Story

The second installment of the series continues the story of Rami Nana-Hikari's adventures as the keeper of the Secret Treasure. A year has passed since the apocalyptic disaster which left a great crater in the center of Edo City. The destruction wrought major economic consequences and while much investment was poured into the public works for the new Edo Castle, the citizens were all feeling the pinch of the recession.

Dr. Pon Eho was no exception. Although a freak of nature with an astronomical IQ of 1400, hard reality forced the genius raccoon to become a laborer in the construction of the New Castle. One day, while he was shoveling away some gravel near the center of the crater, he unearthed the Secret Treasure Scroll and one of the Six Magical Orbs! With the knowledge that the six Orbs together would bring him enormous wealth, he quickly left his job in search of the remaining five Orbs listed on the Scroll's map.

Meanwhile, Himiko Yamatai, "the Pompous Queen of the Ancients," makes a dramatic appearance at the Nana-Hikari family's dinner table and grabs the family's Magical Orb. But before she can get away, Dr. Pon ambushes her and steals it. Rami makes chase and joins the race for the great treasure, starting her on her new adventure.

Gameplay

The game is a side-scrolling platformer. Rami walks with Left and Right and crouches with Down. She breaks into a run after walking a short distance in a direction. She jumps with C and jumps higher if the button is held down longer. She jumps off of platforms with Down+C. She can pick up items with A and throw them with A. If she picks up a weapon, which are sometimes dropped by enemies after they are defeated, she can use it with B. Rami can set items down or drop her weapon with Down+A. Enemies can be defeated by hitting them with a weapon, throwing an object at them, or jumping on top of them. Rami climbs ladders with Up and Down. Rami loses her weapon if she takes damage or loses a life if she takes damage without holding a weapon.

Two of the stages retain the shoot-'em-up style of the first game. Rami rides Spot, and the pair can be moved in any direction with the D-pad. Spot shoots with A, B, or C, which shoots fireballs and Spot's subweapon (if equipped) simultaneously. Spot's movement speed can be changed with X (slow), Y (medium), or Z (fast). The player loses a life and must start the stage over from the beginning if Spot is hit by an enemy.

Defeating most enemies rewards points, but there are some enemies (such as miners) that are considered passive and deduct points when defeated. Points are also deducted for taking damage or losing a life. The points are used in the Extras feature (accessed through the main menu), which unlocks helpful hints and behind-the-scenes extras depending on the highest and lowest scores achieved through playing.
