Niz 2: The Journey of Nonsensical

Niz 2: The Journey of Nonsensical (also known as Niz Chicoloco 2) is a platform video game developed by DreamWorks Interactive and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation. It was first released in North America and Europe in September 1999, followed by Japan in February 2000; the game was also released for the PlayStation 2 in April 2000, exclusively in Japan. It is the second installment in the Niz Chicoloco series, following 1997's Niz Chicoloco. The game follows Niz and his new friends Pip, Giggs, and Bob teaming up to get Niz's stolen birthday cake back from a mysterious figure.

Development of the game started in August 1997, directly after the release of its predecessor. Several new features were cut from the game due to time constraints. Niz 2 features levels that are significantly larger than those of its predecessor and requires the player to complete various challenges such as solving puzzles, collecting items, and defeating bosses. It also includes a multiplayer mode where up to four players can compete in several minigames. Upon release, the game sold over three million copies and received critical acclaim.

Gameplay
Niz 2 is a 3D platform game that plays similarly to its predecessor. The player must maneuver Niz through the level by jumping, and Niz collects objects, now known as "orbs" instead of "gears". The game features more variety than its predecessor, with one new feature being the ability to shoot a ray gun. Niz 2 also has a multiplayer mode where a second player can control one of Niz's new friends – Pip, a green fish-like creature with arms and legs, Giggs, a purple gorilla-like cyclops, and Bob, a cute green critter.
