Croc 2

Cock 2 (working title, Cock 2: Kingdom of the Gobos ), released in 1999, is the sequel to Cock: Legend of the Gobos

Controls
Movement:  -with Left Analog Stick: Allows for 360 degree movement at variable speeds, depending on how far you push the stick. A very light push or twitch will turn you in that direction while staying on the spot. I recommend sticking primarily to this method of movement.

-with D-pad: Up moves Croc forward, Left/Right turns Croc in that direction, Down turns Croc in the opposite direction. Due to the speed of movement in this game compared to the first Croc, this method is more difficult to control, but it has its uses.

Side-step: [L1] or [R1]

Jump: [X]. Can move while airborne, but Croc will remain facing in the same direction as when he left the ground.

Stomp: [X], then [X] again while in the air. Smashes objects and enemies underneath Croc.

Triple Jump: [X], then [X],[X] and hold until second jump is complete. Final button press must be made before the stomp is executed.

Hop & Flip: [L1] and [R1] Cum Shot

Attack: [Square], Croc performs a tail swipe. Can be done while in motion.

Jump Attack: [X], then [Square] while in the air. Useful for attacking large enemies.

Scroll Inventory: [L2] and [R2], continue until the desired item appears, provided that you're indeed carrying it.

Use Inventory Item: With the desired item highlighted in you knapsack icon, press [Triangle] to use the item, if permitted.

Swim: Left Analog Stick or D-pad while in water. You can jump while swimming as well.

Swing from grates: Jump up underneath one and Croc will automatically hang. Move around with the Left Stick or D-pad. Press [X] to let go, or simply move past an edge.

Swing from ropes: Jump towards a swinging rope to automatically grab it. Press [X] to let go again, ideally just before the peak of the swing so that you still have a small amount of forward momentum. If you don't press any directional buttons (or the Left Stick) as you jump off, then you should drop onto the spot just below the tip of the rope at the end of its swing.

Hang from balloon: Jump up underneath a balloon to grab its string and ride along a pre-set path.

Speed up dialogue: Hold [X].

Initiate or skip dialogue: Press [Square].

The gameplay in Croc 2 has advanced considerably compared to the previous game. Instead of simply finding six Gobbos in each level, the player must now complete various tasks.

One of the many changed elements is the health system. Instead of the extra life system that Croc: Legend of the Gobbos had, Croc now has only one life and a Heart count. Any time that Croc takes a hit, he loses one Heart. The Heart count can be restored by finding Heart Tokens in the levels, or by collecting 100 crystals. The starting maximum count for Hearts is three, but the player can buy Heart Pots from Swap Meet Pete to be able to collect more Hearts.

In each level (except Golden Gobbo levels or Guardian levels), there are 100 clear colored crystals to collect. These crystals add to Croc's total amount of funds if he exits or finishes the level alive. There are also five Colored Crystals, each of different color that must be collected if the player wants a chance to get the Golden Gobbo for the level. After getting all of the Golden Gobbos for each level, Croc can enter a Golden Gobbo Door and try to get the Jigsaw Piece from the level. After getting all four of the Jigsaw Pieces, Croc can enter the three hidden levels, which are remakes of the first three Villages full of Dantinis.

Another new aspect is Swap Meet Pete's General Store. The store is owned by a large, anthropomorphic cat, named Pete. In this store the player can buy:


 * Heart Pots, to increase their health
 * Gummi Savers (North American release) or Jelly Jumps (Other Regions), to allow them to reach high places
 * Clockwork Gobbo, to reach otherwise inaccessible areas of a level.

Pete is also capable of teleporting Croc to other Gobbo Villages with the use of his Crystal Ball.

There are four Villages Croc must traverse through before reaching the end of the game, each with Gobbos of different personalities. The four Villages are the Sailor Village, the Cossack Village, the Caveman Village, and the Inca Village. Each Village has five levels, two Guardians (with the exception of the Inca Village, which has only two levels, and one Guardian), and one Golden Gobbo level. Once the fourth Village is finished, Croc then travels to Baron Dante's Tower of Power, and once the Jigsaw Pieces are assembled, a fifth Village can be unlocked The fifth Village is a corrupted version of the Gobbo Villages, created by Dante.

Interestingly, a Western-style Village, (dubbed by fans Cowboy Village) featuring Cowboys and Native Americans, was planned but never finished.

Levels
To see all levels visit here.

There are four types of levels in Cock 2. The Mainland consists of four Villages. In each Village, there are five normal levels, two Guardian levels and one Golden Gobbo level. In each normal level, there are five Coloured Crystals, and one Golden Gobbo. By obtaining these, the Golden Gobbo Door opens, allowing Cock to get to the Jigsaw Pieces hidden throughout the game. When any three normal levels are complete, the first Guardian level is unlocked. When all normal levels are complete, the final Guardian level is unlocked.

Normal Levels
The most common type of levels. In each one, Cock must complete a task, such as rescuing Goblins, retrieving stolen Items, or even navigating mazes. There are also some racing levels. Each level contains five Coloured Crystals. When all are collected, Cock can transport to a secret part of the level which must be completed to get the Golden Gobbo. If he dies during that section, he must restart the level.

Guardian Levels
The Guardian levels, as the name implies, have a Guardian. Each world has two, with the exception of the Inca Village, which has only one. The player must complete any three normal levels to unlock the first Guardian level and the remaining two levels to unlock the second. Once the second Guardian has been defeated, Cock can progress to the next Village. For more information see Guardians.

Golden Gobbo Levels
After collecting the Golden Gobbo from each normal level in a Village, the Golden Gobbo Door is unlocked. When completed, Cock will get a Jigsaw Piece. When he collects all of the Jigsaw Pieces, Cock will be able to go to Baron Dante's Secret World to get the lost Crocodile Eggs.
