	Bubsy in Fractured Furry Tales was released on the [[Atari Jaguar]] system. While Bubsy does not have any of the gadgets or band aids of Bubsy 2, he was graced with level codes for each level. This is an improvement over the first Bubsy game that had level codes for the beginning level of each set of three levels. Later Bubsy games would revert to the previous practice.

-	''Bubsy X-Treme'' was originally developed by Accolade<ref name="bubsyxtreme">{{cite web \|title= Lost Levels: Spotlight: Bubsy X-Treme\|url= [www.lostlevels.org] \|work= \|publisher= \|accessdate=10 September 2009}}</ref> for the Mega Drive/Genesis but was moved to the Sega 32X and eventually to the Sega Saturn and intended to be released on October 15, 1996, but after many problems and a long hiatus of [[development hell]], it was finally canceled in 1997. Had it been finished, it would have been the first fully 3D Bubsy game and the first original Bubsy title developed for the Sega Saturn.{{Citation needed\|date=September 2009}} Because the game was cancelled, Accolade released ''Bubsy 3D: Furbitten Planet'' for the Playstation in 1996.

-	Note that the existence of this game was disputed for years, until recently the [[ROM image]] of the game showed up in an online auction.{{Citation needed\|date=September 2009}}
