Gameplay

Bug for sega saturn.png
Bug! was played like a traditional side-scrolling adventure title. .In the same fashion as Sonic the Hedgehog, (in one level you must race Sonic) Bug jumped on the heads of his enemies to defeat them while making his way through large levels and collecting power-ups.^ Sandworms make up a large part of the live seabait industry.

 What sets Bug! apart is the game's 3D levels, which take the side-view and tweak it. Bug can walk sidewise up vertical surfaces and even upside down. Each set of levels (ranging from a bright, green grassy area to a deep red, desert level) has a deeply individual look and feel.

Characters

Character Description
Bug (Voiced by John Frost) "Our hero is a razor-witted, irreverent mighty mite with feelers, who uses his derriere and deadly aim to trounce villans. Despite his lack of manners, Bug is convinced he can turn this role into an award-winning performance."
Bee-52 "Battle-scarred but still able, Bee-52 is on the prowl for action. This busy foe often buzzes around power-up."
Daddy-O Longlegs "Too cool, this dude is Queen Cadavra's only surviving ex. He's a jive-talking hipster whose main occupation is hanging out - and avoiding his poisonous former spouse. Collect a Coin power-up and then find Daddy-O. He'll take you to a mini bonus round."
Queen Cadavra "With her insatiable appetite for bugs, this porky prima donna is intent on devouring all the denizens of Bug Island. She's brassy, loud, egotistical and obnoxious. When she's not eating her minions, she's chewing them out!"

Powerups/Items

To change the pace of the gameplay every once in a while (in case gamers got tired of the constant jumping strategy), players could pick up two powerups to give Bug new forms of attack. .One gave him an electric attack which was best used in close-quarters while another gave him a poisonous spitting attack for ranged combat.^ Woodworking sanders are usually operated by electrical power while the ones used in auto-body repair work on compressed air.

 There are also blue crystals in which can help you qualify for a "Dragon Ring Chase" bonus round.
Power-Up/Item Description
Blue Crystals (Item) "These gems get you to the bonus round at the end of each world. Pick up at least 100 Blue Crystals in a round (the screen counter keeps a running total) to earn a Dragonfly Icon. Get 3 icons and you'll get to play the Dragonfly Ring Chase after clearing the level."
Bug Juice (Power-Up) "A healthy habit that restores all hit points."
1-Up (Item) "Supplies bug with an life."
Clapper Board (Item) "A valuable collectible, worth 1 additional continue."
SpitWads "Energizes your Spit Attack. Pick up one of these, then press Button B to get 'em with a glob. You'll find Spit Wads in 4 delicious flavors:
  • Green - Single-glob fire.
  • Red - Double-glob fire.
  • Blue - Rapid fire.
  • Purple - Bouncing ricochet fire.
Zap Cap (Power-Up) "Energizes your Zap Attack. After collecting this power-up, press Button A for an electrifying energy blast."
