}}'''Croc 2''' (working title, '''Croc 2: Kingdom of the Gobbos'''), released in 1999, is the sequel to [[Croc: Legend of the Gobbos]]. Developed by [[Argonaut Games PLC]] between 1998 and 1999, and published by [[Fox Interactive]]. Croc 2 was released on Game Boy Color, Windows and Sony PlayStation. Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast releases were planned, but both were canceled. The plot revolves around Croc searching for his missing [[Croc's Family|parents]], and saving the [[Professor Gobbo]] from [[Baron Dante]]. The original [[soundtrack]] features the guitarist, Simon Gosling. The game, though not as memorable as the first game for some, is considered to be a great and upbeat soundtrack, charming characters, and amazing environments.

'''''Previously...''''' A baby Crocodile was found by the friendly [[Gobbo]]s, a race consisting of cute little fur balls who inhabit the Gobbo Islands. Rufus, King of the Gobbos adopted the foundling, and with the help of the rest of the tribe, raised him, teaching him the ways of the Gobbos.

All was well until, one day, the evil Baron Dante 1 arrived in the valley where the Gobbos lived. Dante was an evil wizard who took great pleasure in inflicting pain and suffering on others. Sickened by the happy Gobbos, he and his rampaging Dantinis swept into the [[Gobbo Valley]] capturing the Gobbos. [[King Rufus]] was taken by Baron Dante 1 himself and kept in a Cage inside his Tower of Terror.

Croc managed to avoid capture, but he was left all alone. He knew he had to try to help the Gobbos any way that he could and that he must save the King from Baron Dante 1. After many adventures, Croc succeeded in freeing the Gobbos, defeating the Baron, and saving their King. Everything was back to normal in Gobbo Valley and the Gobbos celebrated by erecting a statue of Croc in their valley.

'''''Now...''''' With Dante gone, [[Croc]] and the Gobbos have resumed their lives of playing and having fun, but meanwhile, not too far away, evil [[Dantinis]] plot the return of Baron Dante! Now Called, Baron Dante 2! Unfortunately, an unlucky Inventor Gobbo is captured when he witnesses Baron Dante's return.

One day, back at Gobbo Valley, Croc was playing at the beach, and finds a bottle at his feet, He picked it up and, inside, found a message with a baby crocodile footprint on it. The message explained that the senders were looking for their long-lost son. Croc was shocked. He took the message to King Rufus who read it and eventually told Croc that he would need to go to a far away land where there were other Gobbos who might be able to help him to find his parents.

With that, all the Gobbos help to make a catapult that can bring Croc all the way to the distant Mainland, where his search can begin.

Hop & Flip: [L1] and [R1] together while moving forward.

Croc 2 features many new characters, however several characters that were featured in Croc: Legend of the Gobbos are absent, such as [[Beany Bird]].
