Bobby's World is an unreleased Super Game Boy-enhanced platformer based on the Howie Mandel cartoon of the same name.

The game was first announced as Home Alone 2: Kevin's Dream in 1994. Nintendo Power Volume 67 (December 1994) briefly mentioned the change, noting "Now with a change of license and a Super Game Boy dash of color, it looks better and plays the same. Too bad." Both versions of the game were among the September 2020 lotcheck leaks.

Unused Level#

Watch on YouTubeBoth Kevin's Dream and Bobby's World contain a cut sixth level which takes place in an arcade and has three sections based on Space Invaders ("Marv's Revenge"), Pac-Man ("Doofus") and Donkey Kong ("Donkey Cow"). Game Genie code 03C-97D-E62 (for Kevin's Dream) or 03F-FAD-E62 (for Bobby's World) will start the game at the cut level.

A Vidpro card for Kevin's Dream, showing what would have been the game box, mentions a level taking place "inside his favorite video games".

Gameplay and Level Differences#

• Bobby is slightly shorter than Kevin, which affects the height at which the projectile is thrown. This is most noticeable in the final boss: Kevin can hit the eye in the middle just by standing next to the boss, while Bobby needs to attack in mid-air.
• The second moving platform in the fourth level moves clockwise in Kevin's Dream and counter-clockwise in Bobby's World.

The sign at the end of the second level was changed from "Harry D Clown" to "Derek D Clown".
