Toy Story 2 – Buzz l’Eclair à la Rescousse! is the French regional release of Traveller’s Tales’ acclaimed 1999 3D platformer for the Nintendo 64. Based on the Pixar animated film, players control Buzz Lightyear through large, open-ended environments set in recognizable locations like Andy’s house, the construction site, and Al’s Toy Barn. The game is celebrated for its precise platforming, a varied mission structure built around collecting Pizza Planet tokens, and surprisingly ambitious scale for a licensed title of its era.
How to play
Your goal in each zone is to complete specific tasks—such as finding lost items, winning races, collecting 50 coins for Hamm, or defeating mini-bosses—to earn Pizza Planet tokens that unlock new levels. Controls (N64 to Browser): Use the Arrow Keys to move Buzz. Press X (N64 A button) to jump or double-tap to hover, and press Z (N64 B button) to shoot your laser. Use the C-buttons (typically mapped to WASD or IJKL) to adjust the camera or aim in first-person view, and press Shift or Space (N64 Z/R triggers) for a close-range spin attack.
Tips
- Your laser can be charged by holding the attack button, which is highly effective against tougher enemies and bosses.
- Use the first-person aiming view to look for secrets; many grapple points and hidden items are tucked away vertically out of the standard camera’s reach.
- Mr. Potato Head appears in several levels offering new abilities, like the grapple hook or hover boots, but you must find his missing parts hidden in the environment to unlock them.
