Hello, ladies and gentlemen. This is a pretty bad plug n play. This plug n play consists of mostly badly-done hacks. Note that this is a much shorter episode than the first episode of this series.

The second episode contains the 12-in-1 Console TV Game Cartridge AKA the Super 12-in-1.

0:56:00 - Outro to the second episode of the Junk Plug N Play/Multi-Cart Series

1. Super Fighter - Hey look, it's Super C/Super Contra (with Bass as the player character - at least it looks enough like Bass from Mega Man 7).

2. Alps Skiing - As if there isn't one guest character, now there's TWO of them (on this plug n play). Alps Skiing stars Spider-Man (you cannot tell me that the player does not look like Spider-Man). It's also Highway Star/Rad Racer on the NES. This hack sucks, though (because of the graphics). CC will explain more.

3. X-War - It's a poorly done hack of Silkworm for the NES.

4. Shoot Glasses - Oh boy.....the hit detection is fudged up in this hack. The hit detection is so bad that I missed HALF the "glasses" and got a game over! This is why you do not change the graphics!

5. Archery - It's another poorly done hack. There's nothing to say about this one.

6. Zero Gravity - Ok, the title is straight-up lying. If there was "Zero Gravity" (as this hack apparently implies) then the player characters would be floating about. I am 99.9% sure that this is also Air Umbrella.

7. Bomb Helicopter - I finally found the reason why I do not like "Bomb Helicopter" AKA Raid on Bungeling Bay. It's because the final factory is hard to find and it took like 20-plus minutes for me to find the final one.

8. Gold Digger - Oh, fudge this game to HFIL. This is Crazy Gold Digger, a hack of Super Arabian (which is already awful by itsefl). However, Crazy Gold Digger manages to be WORSE than it's original counterpart. It also has the third guest character in it (Kirby). You know Page 4? In Super Arabian, that can be completed. However, in Crazy Gold Digger, there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that you can complete Page 4. The graphics fudge up to the point that it makes Page 4 IMPOSSIBLE to complete! (Way to go, Crazy Gold Digger - you have managed to be worse than Super Arabian - and I didn't think THAT was possible).

9. Hoodle - At least this hack of Pin Ball doesn't mess up the game beyond repair.

10. Risker - It's Excitebike with a car AKA what the Crusi'n games (probably USA) would look like if even one of them was done sloppily for the NES. In fact, it doesn't bother to change the words "Excitebike" at the results screen! Wow....talk about laziness. It also stars the Zombie Car from the Crusi'n games (probably World).

11. Special Mission - This is a repeat of Super Fighter (technically the hack starts at Area 5, but it's still a repeat).

12. Shoot Copter - At least the hit detection FUNCTIONS correctly this time. It's also a hack of Duck Hunt.

I give this plug n play Grade D-minus (or a D- if you do not want it spelled out). I could have given it a Grade F, but I decided to be slightly lenient/more fair.
