Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue's Nintendo 64 port falls into similar trappings with A Bug's Life's N64 version. Compared to the other ports of this game, it's missing many of its high capacity CD-capable flourishes like cutscenes being replaced with stills, many character voice lines being removed, and sequenced versions of streamed tracks.

Buzz Lightyear might have a laggier time saving Woody here...

Out-of-Bounds Features#

right|Not a good place to keep your buck, buck, bucks. In Al's Toy Barn, near where a box can be pushed against a wall full of boxed tennis rackets, an unobtainable coin exists behind one of the racket boxes.

Revisional Differences#

In the original release, the gunslinger enemies that first appear in Al's Penthouse resemble a stereotypical Mexican. Due to controversy over racial stereotyping and protests by Mexican-American groups,1 they were changed into blonde cowboys in the 1.1 version.
