Ufouria: The Saga 2 (Hebereke 2) is the long-awaited sequel to Sunsoft's 1991 Cult Classic NES platformer Ufouria, announced in 2023, published February 29, 2024 under the Sunsoft label and developed by a company named Tasto Alpha. It's not really a proper sequel though, ostensibly it's a new story that however is set in the same world as the first game, with the same characters and following most of the same story beats, so it's more like a partial remake, with a completely new graphic style but the same cute and quirky aesthetics.Utsujin the alien invader has still plans for world domination, and this time he brought with him purple goopy blobs called "Bumyon" that can envelop other life forms, so he plans to cover the planet with them to easily conquer it. Luckily, Hebe discovers that the Popoons (those round balloons with a face he can summon) instantly destroy Bumyons, so he will have to free his friends O-Chan, Sukezaemon and Jennifer from the alien goop and chase the invader around the land before his plan can be enacted.Compared to the first Ufouria, this game is less of a Metroidvania and has more in common with rogue-lites, since it is set as a series of changing short platforming stages where the objective is to grab as many coins as possible. These coins will then be used to buy items in the vending machine conveniently set under Hebe's tree house, in order to unlock various abilities to explore the world and gain even more money.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Several examples, like Jennifer saying that the game is not going to make things easier for them, or Hebe saying after buying the "Butt Book" that he in 30 years never learned to do a different butt stomp.

Heavy Sleeper: Jennifer was sleeping in his room and didn't even notice Utsujin's arrival and all the blobs around. He also has a tendency to nod off during the adventure. It's probably due to his bad digestion.

Bird-Poop Gag: Just like in the original Hebereke game (but not in Ufouria, where poop has been replaced by 16-ton weights), flying birds excrete the typical coily poop and you have to avoid it. Or to get hit by it 30 times to gain an achievement...

Years Too Early
 Ufouria 2 (Video Game) / int_5fd1f2a0
comment
Years Too Early: This time the references to Japan are much more common, instead of having as a set a fantasy world with very few links to reality. O-Chan in particular uses a few Japanese Stock Phrases in her dialogues, but adding comically exaggerated descriptors, fitting for her theatrical, bombastic personality.

Sequel Hook

comment
Sequel Hook: Two possible ones. Though the ending implies this is a prequel to the original game, so in a sense the sequel already happened Utsujin mentions that he has failed Master Unyohn when defeated. Unyohn is a Space Pirate and the Big Bad of the Ufouria series. Hebe falls in a wormhole and gets transported to the world of the 1991 Ufouria.

The little jumping jellies from the first game are back, though now pink instead of green (because of climate change, the manual says). The big square stationary jellies are back too, not as an Unique Enemy this time but as objects you can jump on to gain more coins.

Take That!: One of the obstacles hurting you in the last leg of the game, the journey to outer space, and that can also be found in an optional underwater area, is the board used to announce the beginning of the Reiwa Era◊. As if to say that it has been a terrible period for Japan and the world at large.

Double Unlock: For some items in the vending machine, it's not enough to have the correct amount of money, you also have to have the correct amount of Utsu Cans on your card. They are scattered around the stages and can be obtained in challenges. Beating your friends in combat is not enough to make them join your party, you also have to buy the respective item from the vending machine as to make them happy. A microphone for O-Chan, some rare tea for Sukezaemon and an "epic antacid" for Jennifer.

Opening Shout-Out
 Ufouria 2 (Video Game) / int_d3a840a8
comment
Opening Shout-Out: A very wacky (and thus appropriate) example. The opening cutscene shows Utsujin coming to Earth on his UFO and avoiding every kind of random floating debris (a radish, a bicycle, a phone booth...) on the way. When our heroes build a rocket to go to space and confront Utsujin, they will have to avoid those exact items on the road to outer space while bouncing on the clouds.

Hand Wave: There are optional re-matches of boss fights. Since three of them involved fighting the other main characters (O-chan, Sukezaemon and Jennifer), one asks how that works if they have to fight each other again. It's theorized that maybe they're just fighting holograms of each other.

Contrived Coincidence: Played for Laughs. Utsujin wants to use Bumyons to cover the world, and Hebe finds out by chance that Popoons act like anti-matter to them. The guy who restocks the vending machine apparently always puts into it items that are needed for the current situation, almost at any given moment.

11th-Hour Superpower: Before the final confrontation, Utsujin slathers himself with "Super Bumyon" that makes him immune to Popoons. Though you can still jump on his head with no problems. After Utsujin has been defeated, there's still the Bumyon problem. Our heroes randomly discover that by summoning all of their Popoons at the same time, they can generate a wormhole that instantly sucks up all the blobs. However Hebe too gets sucked into it...

Percussive Maintenance: One of the buyable items is an old-school CRT television that supposedly raises the game's difficulty, as a reference to old games being played on those kinds of TV. When Hebe buys it, it doesn't seem to work, and starts to show some cartoons only after O-Chan punches it.
