Алғашқы ойын бүйірлей ойналатын ату ойыны болса, екіншісі – ату элементтері бар платформа ойыны. Бірінші ойын сияқты, екінші ойын да ежелгі және қазіргі заманғы жапон мәдениетін көрсетеді.
is a 1996 Japanese video game for the Sega Saturn. Developed by Victor Entertainment, it is a direct sequel to Keio Flying Squadron. While the first game is a side scrolling shoot 'em up, the second game is a platformer with shooter sections. Like the first game, the second game refers to Japanese culture, both ancient and modern simultaneously.
Сюжет
"Арка апаты" деп аталатын апаттан бері бір жыл өтті, ол Эдо қаласының ортасында үлкен кратер қалдырды. Бұл қирату үлкен экономикалық салдарларға әкелді және жаңа Эдо қамалының құрылысына көп инвестиция жұмсалса да, азаматтардың бәрі дағдарыстың ауыртпалығын сезінді. Доктор Пон Эхо да осыған ұқсас жағдайға тап болды. Астрономиялық IQ-сы 1400 болатын табиғаттың ерекше құбылысы болса да, қатал шындық гений танукиді жаңа қамалдың құрылысында жұмысшы болуға мәжбүр етті. Бір күні, ол кратердің ортасынан малтатар тастарды қазып тастап жатқанда, Құпия қазына картасын және алты сиқырлы шардың бірін (жапондық нұсқасында – асыл тастар) тауып алды. Алты шардың біріккенде оған үлкен қазына әкелетінін білген ол дереу жұмысынан кетіп, картада көрсетілген қалған бес шарды іздеуге кірісті. Осы уақытта Химико Яматаи, "Ежелгілердің мақтанды патшайымы", Нанахикари отбасының кешкі ас дастарқанына күрт пайда болып, отбасының сиқырлы шарын ұрлап алады. Бірақ ол қашып үлкермес бұрын, доктор Пон оған шабуыл жасап, шарды қайтарып алады. Әрине, Рами оның артынан қуады және үлкен қазынаны іздеуге қосылады, осылайша оның жаңа оқиғасы басталады.
A year has passed since the apocalyptic disaster known as the "Ark Catastrophe", which left a great crater in the center of Edo. The destruction wrought major economic consequences and while much investment was poured into the public works for the new Edo Castle, the citizens were all feeling the pinch of the recession. Dr. Pon Eho was no exception. Although a freak of nature with an astronomical IQ of 1400, hard reality forced the genius tanuki to become a laborer in the construction of the new castle. One day, while he was shoveling away some gravel near the center of the crater, he unearthed the Secret Treasure Scroll and one of the Six Magical Orbs (called Jewels in the Japanese version). With the knowledge that the six Orbs together would bring him an enormous amount of treasure, he quickly left his job in search of the remaining five Orbs listed on the Scroll's map. Meanwhile, Himiko Yamatai, "the Pompous Queen of the Ancients", makes a dramatic appearance at the Nanahikari family's dinner table and grabs the family's Magical Orb. But before she can get away, Dr. Pon ambushes her and steals it. Of course, Rami makes chase and joins the race for the great treasure, starting her on her new adventure.
Кейіпкерлер
Жапондық есімдер батыс ретімен беріледі, бірінші аты айтылады. Рами Нанахикари – ежелгі әулеттен тараған немере және ерте заманда Жерге келген шетелдіктердің ұрпағы. Ол кілт сақшысының ресми киімі – қоянның костюмін киеді. Соңғы оқиғадан кейін ол қарапайым мектеп оқушысы ретінде өмірінен ләззат алды. Бірақ енді ол құпия қазына туралы білген соң, доктор Пон мен Химико арасындағы шайқасқа қосылуға шешім қабылдады. Дауыстаған: Михо Канно (жапон); Саманта Пэрис (ағылшын).
Japanese names are given in the Western order, given name first. Rami Nanahikari The grandchild of an ancient family and a descendant of aliens who came to Earth long ago. She wears a bunny suit, the formal attire of a Key Guardian. After her last adventure she was enjoying her life as an ordinary schoolgirl. However, now that she knows about the Secret Treasure, she has decided to join the battle between Dr. Pon and Himiko in search of it. Voiced by Miho Kanno (Japanese); Samantha Paris (English). Spot Nanahikari The Nanahikari family's pet dragon, who has become like a younger brother to Rami. Because he worked so hard in the first game, he became soporose and now sleeps and nods out whenever he can. In this game, he has a supporting role assisting Rami. Spot is called Pochi in the Japanese release of the game. Voiced by Mika Kanai (Japanese); Roger L. Jackson (English). Tekkannon (+150 ml) An armed chahakobi ningyō machine and an improved version of Tekkannon from the first game, built and operated by Dr. Pon. If it takes too much damage, it will become angry and transform into a super chahakobi ningyō. It can carry 360 liters of tea (for about 2,000 people) at a time, so it receives many inquiries, mainly from the employees of cafeterias owned by large companies. Tekkannon is called the Toxic Waste Disposer in the English version of the game. The game was going to be a graphically enhanced version of the first game, but was made into its own game with a different story and lots of different features. The action would still be based around a side scrolling shooting game, but the developers would experiment with using video backgrounds and 3D bonus stages, and most of the items that the player would pick up would be taken from real photographs as well. The specifications for the Saturn had changed a lot at the time, so the developers spent a lot of time testing the console's capabilities. Endo considered the Saturn a wonderful console to work with. The video backgrounds, 3D bonus stages and photographed items would later be dropped around 1995. Rami was originally going to have sprites that were more in line with her normal anime design, as opposed to the shorter sprites in the final game, and would have also carried a Frog Hammer. The game's art, graphics and stage designs were done by Naomasa Kitatani, Kenji Kawashima, Yoshiyuki Ozaki, Nobuyuki Ikigame, Daisuke Fukuda, Akito Kuroda and Masaru Yokōra, while the character designs were done by Hiromasa Ota. Compared to the first game, Keio Flying Squadron 2s graphics and animation were more polished and fluid. It also made use of sprite scaling, squashing and rotation, digital photography, transparency, shading and 3D elements. The Sumida River stage was originally going to be a platformer stage, but when Endo was working on parts of the stage where Kusatsu, the Arrow of Hope, was to be used, he got stuck and decided to change it to a shooter stage. Because of this, the bow and arrow set has stationary locations throughout the stage and cannot be obtained. The Martial Arts Tournament was planned to have seven participants, but five of them ended up being scrapped, with only Benkei Musashibō and Missionary Xavier making the final cut. They include:
Kojirō Sasaki A handsome young swordsman who freely wields his 3 1/2 inch long sword Bizen Nagamitsu. However, since Japanese swords are dangerous, he usually carries a drying pole on his back instead of his sword. Kurama Tengu An old man whose true identity is the Great Tengu of Mount Kurama, prohibited from television broadcasting. The horse that he rides (or rather, wears) is the famous Pakaran kun. Hanzō Hattori The leader of the Iga Shinobu gun. He was given his name apparently due to being half yin and yang. He never takes off his shinobi shōzoku in order to hide his appearance. Shishido Baiken A Kusarigama master. On his head is a perch carved from a plum tree. He puffs his back instead of his cheeks when blowing purple smoke. Goemon Ishikawa and Oyabun Gama An outlaw who loves cleanliness and his fire breathing toad. He spends 16 hours a day in the bath and spends the remaining eight hours sleeping. Therefore, all transportation is dependent on Gama. In contrast to the first game's more fast paced score, Keio Flying Squadron 2s soundtrack, composed by Tawada, had an exciting yet relaxing tone that was coordinated with the onscreen characters' animations, with the platformer stages having patterns that ranged from sounding Sonic the Hedgehog esque to Disney esque. The musical instruments, which included koto, shamisen, percussion instruments and drums, were recorded using the Yamaha SY99. The game features animated cutscenes produced by Studio Pierrot, who also produced the cutscenes in the first game. The Japanese voices were recorded and directed by Susumu Aketagawa at Magic Capsule and Avaco Creative Studio. In the first game, Rami was the only character with spoken dialogue during gameplay, but this time the enemies and bosses also had dialogue. In response to overwhelming requests, Miho Kanno, who was appearing in advertisements for the Victor V Saturn and releasing singles under Victor's music label at the time, reprised her role as Rami, reuniting with Jōji Yanami and Keiko Yamamoto, who reprised their roles as Dr. Pon and Grandma, respectively. According to Kanno, when she heard about the game, she felt a sense of parental affection because Rami was warmly accepted and loved by everyone at the time, and she considered her a character close to her hometown of Saitama Prefecture. Producer Toshiyuki Nagai took care to create an atmosphere in the recording booth so that she could enjoy her sessions. Yanami also replaced Yusaku Yara as the voice of Grandpa. Mika Kanai provided the voice of Himiko and replaced Akiko Hiramatsu as the voice of Spot. Tawada created Daidarabotchi's (the game's final boss) voice and sound effects by recording Fujiwara's voice and applying various effects to it, such as pitch shifting it down, and used a sample of his own burp from a sound effects library for Musashi Sakaimari's burping and vomiting. At first, Tawada planned to use the Saturn's built in sound engine for everything, including the music, but the voice clips took up a lot of memory space on the disc. He tried playing around with it, but he just could not get the sound that he was satisfied with, so he decided to use Compact Disc Digital Audio instead, trying to do so in a way that would not be noticeable even if the music looped. It was originally set for release in March of that year. 1=Keiō Yūgekitai: Okiraku Tamatebako (2=慶応遊撃隊お気楽玉手箱) was a "not for resale" Sega Saturn disc only available in Japan in 1996. The disc contains higher quality versions of both the opening and ending FMV cutscenes of the first game, two cutscenes related to the second game, demo levels from the second game, a sound test including voice clips for Rami, Spot, Dr. Pon and Himiko, a showcase of the aforementioned scrapped Martial Arts Tournament participants, and an art gallery available both in game and separately, being accessible on the CD via a personal computer.

Спот Нанахикари – Нанахикари әулетінің үй жануары, Рами үшін кіші інідей болған аждаха. Бірінші ойында көп жұмыс істегендіктен, ол шаршап, мүмкіндігі болған сайын ұйықтап, маңғызданады. Бұл ойында ол Рамиге көмектесетін көмекші рөлде. Spot ойынының жапондық нұсқасында Почи деп аталады. Дауыстаған: Мика Канаи (жапон); Роджер Л. Джексон (ағылшын).

Текканнон (+150 мл) – қаруланған чахакоби нингё машинасы және доктор Пон жасаған және басқарған бірінші ойынның Текканнонының жақсартылған нұсқасы. Ол көп зақымданса, ашуланып, супер-чахакоби нингёға айналады. Ол бір ретте 360 литр шайды (шамамен 2000 адамға) тасымалдай алады, сондықтан оған ірі компаниялардың кафетерияларының қызметкерлерінен көп сұраныс түседі. Текканнон ойынның ағылшын нұсқасында «Уытты қалдықтарды жоюшы» деп аталады. Ойын бастапқыда бірінші ойынның графикалық жағынан жақсартылған нұсқасы болуы керек еді, бірақ ол басқа оқиғасы және көптеген ерекшеліктері бар жеке ойынға айналды. Ойын әлі де жақтан жылжу арқылы ату ойынына негізделген болар еді, бірақ әзірлеушілер видео фондармен және 3D бонус кезеңдерімен тәжірибе жасауды жоспарлады, ал ойыншы жинаған заттардың көпшілігі нақты фотосуреттерден алынды. Сол кезде Saturn консолінің сипаттамалары көп өзгерді, сондықтан әзірлеушілер консольдің мүмкіндіктерін сынауға көп уақыт жұмсады. Эндо Saturn консолін жұмыс істеу үшін тамаша консоль деп есептеді. Видео фондар, 3D бонус кезеңдері және фотосуреттер 1995 жылы алынып тасталды. Рами бастапқыда соңғы ойындағы қысқа шприттерге қарағанда, оның әдеттегі аниме дизайнына сәйкес келетін шприттерге ие болуы керек еді, сонымен қатар Жабайы балғамен жүруі керек еді. Ойынның көркемдік, графикалық және сахналық дизайнын Наомаса Китатани, Кенджи Кавасима, Йошиюки Озаки, Нобуюки Икигаме, Дайсуке Фукуда, Акито Курода және Масару Йокора жасады, ал кейіпкерлердің дизайнын Хиромаса Ота жасады. Бірінші ойынмен салыстырғанда, Keio Flying Squadron 2 графикасы мен анимациясы жылтырап, сұйық болды. Ол сондай-ақ шприт масштабын, қысуды және айналдыруды, цифрлық фотосуретке түсіруді, мөлдірлікті, көлеңкелеуді және 3D элементтерін пайдаланды. Сумида өзенінің сахнасы бастапқыда платформалық сахна болуы керек еді, бірақ Эндо сахнаның Кусацу, Үміттің жебесі қолданылатын бөліктерімен жұмыс істеп жатқанда, ол тұрып қалды және оны атушы сахнасына ауыстыруға шешім қабылдады. Осыған байланысты садақ пен жебелер жиынтығы сахнаның барлық жерінде тұрақты орналасқан және оларды алуға болмайды. Жауынгерлік өнерлер турниріне жеті қатысушы қатысуы жоспарланған еді, бірақ олардың бесеуі жойылып, тек Бенкеи Мусашибо мен Миссионер Ксавье соңғы соққыны жасады. Олар:

The video backgrounds, 3D bonus stages and photographed items would later be dropped around 1995. Rami was originally going to have sprites that were more in line with her normal anime design, as opposed to the shorter sprites in the final game, and would have also carried a Frog Hammer. The game's art, graphics and stage designs were done by Naomasa Kitatani, Kenji Kawashima, Yoshiyuki Ozaki, Nobuyuki Ikigame, Daisuke Fukuda, Akito Kuroda and Masaru Yokōra, while the character designs were done by Hiromasa Ota. Compared to the first game, Keio Flying Squadron 2s graphics and animation were more polished and fluid. It also made use of sprite scaling, squashing and rotation, digital photography, transparency, shading and 3D elements. The Sumida River stage was originally going to be a platformer stage, but when Endo was working on parts of the stage where Kusatsu, the Arrow of Hope, was to be used, he got stuck and decided to change it to a shooter stage. Because of this, the bow and arrow set has stationary locations throughout the stage and cannot be obtained. The Martial Arts Tournament was planned to have seven participants, but five of them ended up being scrapped, with only Benkei Musashibō and Missionary Xavier making the final cut. They include:
Kojirō Sasaki A handsome young swordsman who freely wields his 3 1/2 inch long sword Bizen Nagamitsu. However, since Japanese swords are dangerous, he usually carries a drying pole on his back instead of his sword. Kurama Tengu An old man whose true identity is the Great Tengu of Mount Kurama, prohibited from television broadcasting. The horse that he rides (or rather, wears) is the famous Pakaran kun. Hanzō Hattori The leader of the Iga Shinobu gun. He was given his name apparently due to being half yin and yang. He never takes off his shinobi shōzoku in order to hide his appearance. Shishido Baiken A Kusarigama master. On his head is a perch carved from a plum tree. He puffs his back instead of his cheeks when blowing purple smoke. Goemon Ishikawa and Oyabun Gama An outlaw who loves cleanliness and his fire breathing toad. He spends 16 hours a day in the bath and spends the remaining eight hours sleeping. Therefore, all transportation is dependent on Gama. In contrast to the first game's more fast paced score, Keio Flying Squadron 2s soundtrack, composed by Tawada, had an exciting yet relaxing tone that was coordinated with the onscreen characters' animations, with the platformer stages having patterns that ranged from sounding Sonic the Hedgehog esque to Disney esque. The musical instruments, which included koto, shamisen, percussion instruments and drums, were recorded using the Yamaha SY99. The game features animated cutscenes produced by Studio Pierrot, who also produced the cutscenes in the first game. The Japanese voices were recorded and directed by Susumu Aketagawa at Magic Capsule and Avaco Creative Studio. In the first game, Rami was the only character with spoken dialogue during gameplay, but this time the enemies and bosses also had dialogue. In response to overwhelming requests, Miho Kanno, who was appearing in advertisements for the Victor V Saturn and releasing singles under Victor's music label at the time, reprised her role as Rami, reuniting with Jōji Yanami and Keiko Yamamoto, who reprised their roles as Dr. Pon and Grandma, respectively. According to Kanno, when she heard about the game, she felt a sense of parental affection because Rami was warmly accepted and loved by everyone at the time, and she considered her a character close to her hometown of Saitama Prefecture. Producer Toshiyuki Nagai took care to create an atmosphere in the recording booth so that she could enjoy her sessions. Yanami also replaced Yusaku Yara as the voice of Grandpa. Mika Kanai provided the voice of Himiko and replaced Akiko Hiramatsu as the voice of Spot. Tawada created Daidarabotchi's (the game's final boss) voice and sound effects by recording Fujiwara's voice and applying various effects to it, such as pitch shifting it down, and used a sample of his own burp from a sound effects library for Musashi Sakaimari's burping and vomiting. At first, Tawada planned to use the Saturn's built in sound engine for everything, including the music, but the voice clips took up a lot of memory space on the disc. He tried playing around with it, but he just could not get the sound that he was satisfied with, so he decided to use Compact Disc Digital Audio instead, trying to do so in a way that would not be noticeable even if the music looped. It was originally set for release in March of that year. 1=Keiō Yūgekitai: Okiraku Tamatebako (2=慶応遊撃隊お気楽玉手箱) was a "not for resale" Sega Saturn disc only available in Japan in 1996. The disc contains higher quality versions of both the opening and ending FMV cutscenes of the first game, two cutscenes related to the second game, demo levels from the second game, a sound test including voice clips for Rami, Spot, Dr. Pon and Himiko, a showcase of the aforementioned scrapped Martial Arts Tournament participants, and an art gallery available both in game and separately, being accessible on the CD via a personal computer.

Кодзиро Сасаки – 3 1/2 дюймдік семсерін еркін қолданатын жас, келбетті семсерші Бизен Нагамитсу. Алайда жапондық семсерлер қауіпті болғандықтан, ол әдетте семсерінің орнына құрғату таяғын арқасына алып жүреді.
Japanese names are given in the Western order, given name first. Rami Nanahikari The grandchild of an ancient family and a descendant of aliens who came to Earth long ago. She wears a bunny suit, the formal attire of a Key Guardian. After her last adventure she was enjoying her life as an ordinary schoolgirl. However, now that she knows about the Secret Treasure, she has decided to join the battle between Dr. Pon and Himiko in search of it. Voiced by Miho Kanno (Japanese); Samantha Paris (English). Spot Nanahikari The Nanahikari family's pet dragon, who has become like a younger brother to Rami. Because he worked so hard in the first game, he became soporose and now sleeps and nods out whenever he can. In this game, he has a supporting role assisting Rami. Spot is called Pochi in the Japanese release of the game. Voiced by Mika Kanai (Japanese); Roger L. Jackson (English). Tekkannon (+150 ml) An armed chahakobi ningyō machine and an improved version of Tekkannon from the first game, built and operated by Dr. Pon. If it takes too much damage, it will become angry and transform into a super chahakobi ningyō. It can carry 360 liters of tea (for about 2,000 people) at a time, so it receives many inquiries, mainly from the employees of cafeterias owned by large companies. Tekkannon is called the Toxic Waste Disposer in the English version of the game. The game was going to be a graphically enhanced version of the first game, but was made into its own game with a different story and lots of different features. The action would still be based around a side scrolling shooting game, but the developers would experiment with using video backgrounds and 3D bonus stages, and most of the items that the player would pick up would be taken from real photographs as well.

Rami was originally going to have sprites that were more in line with her normal anime design, as opposed to the shorter sprites in the final game, and would have also carried a Frog Hammer. The game's art, graphics and stage designs were done by Naomasa Kitatani, Kenji Kawashima, Yoshiyuki Ozaki, Nobuyuki Ikigame, Daisuke Fukuda, Akito Kuroda and Masaru Yokōra, while the character designs were done by Hiromasa Ota. Compared to the first game, Keio Flying Squadron 2s graphics and animation were more polished and fluid. It also made use of sprite scaling, squashing and rotation, digital photography, transparency, shading and 3D elements. The Sumida River stage was originally going to be a platformer stage, but when Endo was working on parts of the stage where Kusatsu, the Arrow of Hope, was to be used, he got stuck and decided to change it to a shooter stage. Because of this, the bow and arrow set has stationary locations throughout the stage and cannot be obtained. The Martial Arts Tournament was planned to have seven participants, but five of them ended up being scrapped, with only Benkei Musashibō and Missionary Xavier making the final cut. They include:
Kojirō Sasaki A handsome young swordsman who freely wields his 3 1/2 inch long sword Bizen Nagamitsu. However, since Japanese swords are dangerous, he usually carries a drying pole on his back instead of his sword. Kurama Tengu An old man whose true identity is the Great Tengu of Mount Kurama, prohibited from television broadcasting. The horse that he rides (or rather, wears) is the famous Pakaran kun. Hanzō Hattori The leader of the Iga Shinobu gun. He was given his name apparently due to being half yin and yang. He never takes off his shinobi shōzoku in order to hide his appearance. Shishido Baiken A Kusarigama master. On his head is a perch carved from a plum tree. He puffs his back instead of his cheeks when blowing purple smoke. Goemon Ishikawa and Oyabun Gama An outlaw who loves cleanliness and his fire breathing toad. He spends 16 hours a day in the bath and spends the remaining eight hours sleeping. Therefore, all transportation is dependent on Gama. In contrast to the first game's more fast paced score, Keio Flying Squadron 2s soundtrack, composed by Tawada, had an exciting yet relaxing tone that was coordinated with the onscreen characters' animations, with the platformer stages having patterns that ranged from sounding Sonic the Hedgehog esque to Disney esque. The musical instruments, which included koto, shamisen, percussion instruments and drums, were recorded using the Yamaha SY99. The game features animated cutscenes produced by Studio Pierrot, who also produced the cutscenes in the first game. The Japanese voices were recorded and directed by Susumu Aketagawa at Magic Capsule and Avaco Creative Studio. In the first game, Rami was the only character with spoken dialogue during gameplay, but this time the enemies and bosses also had dialogue. In response to overwhelming requests, Miho Kanno, who was appearing in advertisements for the Victor V Saturn and releasing singles under Victor's music label at the time, reprised her role as Rami, reuniting with Jōji Yanami and Keiko Yamamoto, who reprised their roles as Dr. Pon and Grandma, respectively. According to Kanno, when she heard about the game, she felt a sense of parental affection because Rami was warmly accepted and loved by everyone at the time, and she considered her a character close to her hometown of Saitama Prefecture. Producer Toshiyuki Nagai took care to create an atmosphere in the recording booth so that she could enjoy her sessions. Yanami also replaced Yusaku Yara as the voice of Grandpa. Mika Kanai provided the voice of Himiko and replaced Akiko Hiramatsu as the voice of Spot. Tawada created Daidarabotchi's (the game's final boss) voice and sound effects by recording Fujiwara's voice and applying various effects to it, such as pitch shifting it down, and used a sample of his own burp from a sound effects library for Musashi Sakaimari's burping and vomiting. At first, Tawada planned to use the Saturn's built in sound engine for everything, including the music, but the voice clips took up a lot of memory space on the disc. He tried playing around with it, but he just could not get the sound that he was satisfied with, so he decided to use Compact Disc Digital Audio instead, trying to do so in a way that would not be noticeable even if the music looped. It was originally set for release in March of that year. 1=Keiō Yūgekitai: Okiraku Tamatebako (2=慶応遊撃隊お気楽玉手箱) was a "not for resale" Sega Saturn disc only available in Japan in 1996. The disc contains higher quality versions of both the opening and ending FMV cutscenes of the first game, two cutscenes related to the second game, demo levels from the second game, a sound test including voice clips for Rami, Spot, Dr. Pon and Himiko, a showcase of the aforementioned scrapped Martial Arts Tournament participants, and an art gallery available both in game and separately, being accessible on the CD via a personal computer.

Шишидо Байкен – Кусаригама шебері. Басында құрма ағашынан ойылған шұңқыр бар. Ол қызғылт түтінді өргенде бетін емес, арқасын үрлейді.
Japanese names are given in the Western order, given name first. Rami Nanahikari The grandchild of an ancient family and a descendant of aliens who came to Earth long ago. She wears a bunny suit, the formal attire of a Key Guardian. After her last adventure she was enjoying her life as an ordinary schoolgirl. However, now that she knows about the Secret Treasure, she has decided to join the battle between Dr. Pon and Himiko in search of it. Voiced by Miho Kanno (Japanese); Samantha Paris (English). Spot Nanahikari The Nanahikari family's pet dragon, who has become like a younger brother to Rami. Because he worked so hard in the first game, he became soporose and now sleeps and nods out whenever he can. In this game, he has a supporting role assisting Rami. Spot is called Pochi in the Japanese release of the game. Voiced by Mika Kanai (Japanese); Roger L. Jackson (English). Tekkannon (+150 ml) An armed chahakobi ningyō machine and an improved version of Tekkannon from the first game, built and operated by Dr. Pon. If it takes too much damage, it will become angry and transform into a super chahakobi ningyō. It can carry 360 liters of tea (for about 2,000 people) at a time, so it receives many inquiries, mainly from the employees of cafeterias owned by large companies. Tekkannon is called the Toxic Waste Disposer in the English version of the game. The game was going to be a graphically enhanced version of the first game, but was made into its own game with a different story and lots of different features. The action would still be based around a side scrolling shooting game, but the developers would experiment with using video backgrounds and 3D bonus stages, and most of the items that the player would pick up would be taken from real photographs as well.

Гомон Ишикава мен Оябун Гама – тазалықты жақсы көретін заңсыз адам және оның отты дем алатын жабайы. Ол күніне 16 сағат ваннада, ал қалған 8 сағатын ұйықтап өткізеді. Сондықтан барлық көліктер Гамаға тәуелді.

Бірінші ойынның жылдам қарқынмен ойнаған саундтрегіне қарағанда, Тавада құрастырған Keio Flying Squadron 2 саундтрегі экрандағы кейіпкерлердің анимациясымен үйлестірілген қызықты, бірақ демалатын тонға ие болды. Музыкалық аспаптар, соның ішінде кото, шамисен, соққы аспаптары мен домбыралар, Yamaha SY99 арқылы жазылған. Ойынның анимациялық кескіндерін жасаған Studio Pierrot бірінші ойындағы кескіндерді де жасады. Жапон дауыстарын Magic Capsule және Avaco Creative Studio-да Сусуму Акетагава жазып, басқарды. Бірінші ойында Рами ғана ойын кезінде сөйлейтін болса, енді жаулар мен бас көшбасшылар да сөйлейді. Көптеген сұранысқа байланысты, Михо Канно, сол кезде Victor V Saturn жарнамаларында түскен және Victor музыкалық лейблы астында синглдар шығарған, Рами рөлін қайта ойнады, доктор Пон және әже рөлін қайта ойнаған Жоджи Янами және Кейко Ямамотомен қайта қосылды. Канноның айтуынша, ол ойын туралы естігенде, Рамидің барлығына жылы қабылданғанын және жақсы көрілгенін еске алып, атамекені Сайтама префектурасына жақын сезімге бөленді. Продюсер Тошиюки Нагаи оның жазбалар студиясында жағымды атмосфера жасады. Янами сондай-ақ Юсаку Яраны атасының дауысын алмастырды. Мика Канаи Химиконың даусын берді және Споттың даусын берген Акико Хираматсуды алмастырды. Тавада Дайдаработчидің (ойынның соңғы басшысы) даусын және дыбыс эффектілерін жасау үшін Фудзивараның даусын жазып, оған питчті өзгерту сияқты әртүрлі эффектілерді қолданды, ал Мусаши Сакаимаридің өксігі мен құсуы үшін дыбыс эффектілері кітапханасынан алынған өзінің өксігінің үлгісін пайдаланды. Бастапқыда Тавада музыканы қоса алғанда, барлығына Saturn консолінің кіріктірілген дыбыс қозғалтқышын пайдалануды жоспарлады, бірақ дауыстық үзінділер дискіде көп орын алды. Ол онымен тәжірибе жасады, бірақ қанағаттандырарлық дыбыс ала алмады, сондықтан ол Compact Disc Digital Audio пайдалануға шешім қабылдады, музыка ойнатылғанда ешқандай көзге көрінбейтіндей етіп жасауға тырысты. Оның шығуы наурыз айына жоспарланған еді. 1=Keiō Yūgekitai: Okiraku Tamatebako (2=慶応遊撃隊お気楽玉手箱) – 1996 жылы Жапонияда ғана қол жетімді болған, қайта сатуға болмайтын Sega Saturn дискісі. Дискіде бірінші ойынның ашылу және аяқталу FMV кескіндерінің жоғары сапалы нұсқалары, екінші ойынға қатысты екі кескін, екінші ойыннан демо деңгейлері, Рами, Спот, доктор Пон және Химико үшін дауыстық үзінділерді қамтитын дыбыс тесті, жойылған Жауынгерлік өнерлер турнирінің қатысушыларының көрсетілімі және ойын ішінде де, жеке компьютерде де қол жетімді суреттер галереясы бар.
Japanese names are given in the Western order, given name first. Rami Nanahikari The grandchild of an ancient family and a descendant of aliens who came to Earth long ago. She wears a bunny suit, the formal attire of a Key Guardian. After her last adventure she was enjoying her life as an ordinary schoolgirl. However, now that she knows about the Secret Treasure, she has decided to join the battle between Dr. Pon and Himiko in search of it. Voiced by Miho Kanno (Japanese); Samantha Paris (English). Spot Nanahikari The Nanahikari family's pet dragon, who has become like a younger brother to Rami. Because he worked so hard in the first game, he became soporose and now sleeps and nods out whenever he can. In this game, he has a supporting role assisting Rami. Spot is called Pochi in the Japanese release of the game. Voiced by Mika Kanai (Japanese); Roger L. Jackson (English). Tekkannon (+150 ml) An armed chahakobi ningyō machine and an improved version of Tekkannon from the first game, built and operated by Dr. Pon. If it takes too much damage, it will become angry and transform into a super chahakobi ningyō. It can carry 360 liters of tea (for about 2,000 people) at a time, so it receives many inquiries, mainly from the employees of cafeterias owned by large companies. Tekkannon is called the Toxic Waste Disposer in the English version of the game. The game was going to be a graphically enhanced version of the first game, but was made into its own game with a different story and lots of different features. The action would still be based around a side scrolling shooting game, but the developers would experiment with using video backgrounds and 3D bonus stages, and most of the items that the player would pick up would be taken from real photographs as well. The specifications for the Saturn had changed a lot at the time, so the developers spent a lot of time testing the console's capabilities. Endo considered the Saturn a wonderful console to work with. The video backgrounds, 3D bonus stages and photographed items would later be dropped around 1995. Rami was originally going to have sprites that were more in line with her normal anime design, as opposed to the shorter sprites in the final game, and would have also carried a Frog Hammer. The game's art, graphics and stage designs were done by Naomasa Kitatani, Kenji Kawashima, Yoshiyuki Ozaki, Nobuyuki Ikigame, Daisuke Fukuda, Akito Kuroda and Masaru Yokōra, while the character designs were done by Hiromasa Ota. Compared to the first game, Keio Flying Squadron 2s graphics and animation were more polished and fluid. It also made use of sprite scaling, squashing and rotation, digital photography, transparency, shading and 3D elements. The Sumida River stage was originally going to be a platformer stage, but when Endo was working on parts of the stage where Kusatsu, the Arrow of Hope, was to be used, he got stuck and decided to change it to a shooter stage. Because of this, the bow and arrow set has stationary locations throughout the stage and cannot be obtained. The Martial Arts Tournament was planned to have seven participants, but five of them ended up being scrapped, with only Benkei Musashibō and Missionary Xavier making the final cut. They include:
Kojirō Sasaki A handsome young swordsman who freely wields his 3 1/2 inch long sword Bizen Nagamitsu. However, since Japanese swords are dangerous, he usually carries a drying pole on his back instead of his sword. Kurama Tengu An old man whose true identity is the Great Tengu of Mount Kurama, prohibited from television broadcasting. The horse that he rides (or rather, wears) is the famous Pakaran kun. Hanzō Hattori The leader of the Iga Shinobu gun. He was given his name apparently due to being half yin and yang. He never takes off his shinobi shōzoku in order to hide his appearance. Shishido Baiken A Kusarigama master. On his head is a perch carved from a plum tree. He puffs his back instead of his cheeks when blowing purple smoke. Goemon Ishikawa and Oyabun Gama An outlaw who loves cleanliness and his fire breathing toad. He spends 16 hours a day in the bath and spends the remaining eight hours sleeping. Therefore, all transportation is dependent on Gama. In contrast to the first game's more fast paced score, Keio Flying Squadron 2s soundtrack, composed by Tawada, had an exciting yet relaxing tone that was coordinated with the onscreen characters' animations, with the platformer stages having patterns that ranged from sounding Sonic the Hedgehog esque to Disney esque. The musical instruments, which included koto, shamisen, percussion instruments and drums, were recorded using the Yamaha SY99. The game features animated cutscenes produced by Studio Pierrot, who also produced the cutscenes in the first game. The Japanese voices were recorded and directed by Susumu Aketagawa at Magic Capsule and Avaco Creative Studio. In the first game, Rami was the only character with spoken dialogue during gameplay, but this time the enemies and bosses also had dialogue. In response to overwhelming requests, Miho Kanno, who was appearing in advertisements for the Victor V Saturn and releasing singles under Victor's music label at the time, reprised her role as Rami, reuniting with Jōji Yanami and Keiko Yamamoto, who reprised their roles as Dr. Pon and Grandma, respectively. According to Kanno, when she heard about the game, she felt a sense of parental affection because Rami was warmly accepted and loved by everyone at the time, and she considered her a character close to her hometown of Saitama Prefecture. Producer Toshiyuki Nagai took care to create an atmosphere in the recording booth so that she could enjoy her sessions. Yanami also replaced Yusaku Yara as the voice of Grandpa. Mika Kanai provided the voice of Himiko and replaced Akiko Hiramatsu as the voice of Spot. Tawada created Daidarabotchi's (the game's final boss) voice and sound effects by recording Fujiwara's voice and applying various effects to it, such as pitch shifting it down, and used a sample of his own burp from a sound effects library for Musashi Sakaimari's burping and vomiting. At first, Tawada planned to use the Saturn's built in sound engine for everything, including the music, but the voice clips took up a lot of memory space on the disc. He tried playing around with it, but he just could not get the sound that he was satisfied with, so he decided to use Compact Disc Digital Audio instead, trying to do so in a way that would not be noticeable even if the music looped. It was originally set for release in March of that year. 1=Keiō Yūgekitai: Okiraku Tamatebako (2=慶応遊撃隊お気楽玉手箱) was a "not for resale" Sega Saturn disc only available in Japan in 1996. The disc contains higher quality versions of both the opening and ending FMV cutscenes of the first game, two cutscenes related to the second game, demo levels from the second game, a sound test including voice clips for Rami, Spot, Dr. Pon and Himiko, a showcase of the aforementioned scrapped Martial Arts Tournament participants, and an art gallery available both in game and separately, being accessible on the CD via a personal computer.

Қабылдау
Шығарғаннан кейін, Keio Flying Squadron 2 әртүрлі пікірлер алды. Көптеген адамдар оның графикасын және саундтрегін жоғары бағаласа, басқару жүйесі жиі сынға ұшырады. Saturn PlayStation және Nintendo 64 консольдерінен күшті бәсекелестікке тап болды, бұл ойынның шығуына тосқауыл қойған болуы мүмкін. Сэм Хикман Sega Saturn Magazine журналында ойынның өте қарапайым және тым оңай ойналатынын, бірақ әдемі әрі ерекше графикасының арқасында ойнауға қызықты екенін жазды. Дегенмен, ол көптеген адамдардың оны сатып алу бағасына лайық деп таппайтынын айтты және оған 78% баға берді. 1998 жылы Saturn Power журналы ойынды "Жапондық платформалық ойын, қызықты әрі ерекше, бірақ қарапайым графикасы бар, бірақ ойналысы өте жақсы" деп сипаттап, ең жақсы 100 Sega Saturn ойынының тізімінде 88-орынға қойды. Retro Replay-дің Майкл Таунсенд: "Keio Flying Squadron 2 графикасымен және әуесқойларға ұнайтын музыкасымен таң қалдырса да, мен үшін қиын басқару жүйесі кедергі болды. Ойынның өзіндік ерекшеліктері көп болғанына өкінемін, бірақ ойналыс сәйкес келмесе, толыққанды ләззат алу қиын" деді.
Upon release, Keio Flying Squadron 2 received a mixed reception. While many praised its visuals and soundtrack, the controls were a common point of criticism. The Saturn was also facing stiff competition from the PlayStation and Nintendo 64, which may have overshadowed the game's release. Sam Hickman wrote in Sega Saturn Magazine that the game has very generic and overly easy gameplay, but is still somewhat fun to play, largely due to the intriguingly strange graphics. However, she concluded that most people would not find it worth the retail price, and scored it a 78%. In 1998, Saturn Power rated the game 88th on their Top 100 Sega Saturn Games, summarizing, "A bizarre Japanese platform game that, somehow, manages to impress all that come into contact with it. The graphics are fairly primitive, but the gameplay’s excellent." Michael Townsend of Retro Replay stated, "While Keio Flying Squadron 2 dazzles with its graphics and catchy tunes, the clunky controls were a deal breaker for me. It's a shame because the game has so much personality, but when the gameplay doesn't match up, it's hard to fully enjoy the experience."
