It was developed by [[Argonaut Games PLC]] and published by [[Fox Interactive]]. Croc 2 was released on the Sony PlayStation and PC later in 2000. A Gameboy Color version called [[Croc 2 (Game Boy Color)|Croc 2]] was released in 2001.
==Storyline==
The night before the events of the game, [[Professor Gobbo]] is putting the finishing touches on a [[plane]] he was working on and then went to retire for the night. As he was walking in the jungle, he witnessed chanting coming from an area. Curious, he peeked at what was happening. [[Dantini|Dantinis]] are seen chanting and dancing for a short while, until they back away and witness Baron Dante slowly being raised from the floor, towering over Professor Gobbo. Baron Dante has been brought back from the [[N'th Dimension]] seeking revenge on Croc. Professor Gobbo then tried to run away, but was surrounded by Dantinis and was captured by them.
'''''Previously...''''' A baby Crocodile was found by the friendly [[Gobbo|Gobbos]], 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.
The following morning, [[Croc]], [[King Rufus]], and a few [[Gobbo|Gobbos]] are playing volleyball on a beach in the [[Gobbo Archipelago]]. While trying to retrieve the ball, Croc stumbles upon a bottle with a message inside. Croc opens the message in front of the Gobbos, where they believe that it had came from [[Croc's Family]] somewhere in the [[Mainland]]. King Rufus gives Croc permission to go on another adventure to find his long lost parents, and so the Gobbos built a giant makeshift catapult with a boulder on a hill used as a counter-weight. Once the boulder is pushed down onto the catapult, Croc is thrown into the air and is tossed towards the Mainland.
All was well until, one day, the evil [[Baron Dante]] 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 [[Dantini|Dantinis]] swept into the [[Gobbo Valley]] capturing the Gobbos. [[King Rufus]] was taken by Baron Dante himself and kept in a Cage inside his Tower of Terror.
Croc lands in the village of Oki-Doki (known as [[Sailor Village]]) and is greeted by a Gobbo counting crates, who gives him a [[Swap Meet Pete Loyalty Card]]. From this point, Croc meets [[Swap Meet Pete]] and completes every level the village had to offer. After doing so, Baron Dante learns of Croc's presence and sends [[Cannon Boat Keith (Character)|Cannon Boat Keith]] to dispatch him, where he fails. Swap Mete Pete was then able to send Croc to [[Cossack Village]], followed by [[Caveman Village]] and [[Inca Village]].
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. 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.

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.
