There's seven bubsy's? I thought half of those were made up?
(With reference to this post there.)
Excluding compilations, remasters, and that one Windows port of the first Super Nintendo game where they inexplicably decided to stuff the complete pilot episode of the animated series into it in spite of the latter having been cancelled four years earlier, there have been six Bubsy titles released to date:
Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind (1993)
Bubsy II (1994)
Bubsy in Fractured Furry Tales (1994)
Bubsy 3D (1996)
Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back (2017)
Bubsy: Paws on Fire (2019)
That would make Bubsy 4D the seventh proper instalment in the series if it actually gets released.
This franchise has big "pinball spinoff" energy. Not the energy of *having* a pinball spinoff, but the energy that the whole IP, as an entirety, is somehow a pinball spinoff, despite none of the entries being pinball games
A lot of early 1990s mascot platformers have that energy, honestly. The basic promotional strategy for such games was to position the protagonist themselves as the product, with the game being treated almost as an afterthought. They'd roll up acting like their mascot was already a well-established Big Deal, and try to cajole the audience into playing along with a load of really aggressive "what kind of lame-o hasn't heard of Scrimmy Bingus" type branding, resulting in a whole generation of games that have the feel of cash-in adaptations of some one-season-wonder cartoon, except there's literally nothing backing it up because the game itself is that character's first appearance.
I can’t remember the name of the mascot, but I remember the ads. He was either a dingo or a kangaroo and he held a boomerang in front of a hospital room where Definitely Not Mario, Sonic and Crash Bandicoot in full body casts and traction.
I remember seeing this add as a full page spread in Game Informer for multiple months and I STILL couldn’t tell you the title.
Funnily enough, the reason you probably can't find any evidence of this character ever existing is because both of your guesses as to his species are wrong – he's allegedly a tasmanian tiger.
This ad also highlights a common trend among these many Mascot Platformer characters: the advertising constantly trying to position them as so much cooler than the actual front-runners in the genre. It was so common you even got it with Croc, who's among the least edgy of the Mascot characters of the time.
It's all part of the "rolling up like your mascot was already a Big Deal" thing, I guess.
It is kinda funny that out of all the "Next Big Thing" platformer protagonists, Bubsy has had more entries than most of them. Few ever get past their first game, Bubsy got four before the modern attempts to revive the brand.
Croc's an especially funny example of the type because it was practically SOP to try to invent beef with Mario or Sonic (or Crash Bandicoot, himself the one cool-by-decree 1990s platformer mascot to successfully break into the mainstream), but the campaign for Croc decided to have a go at Lara Croft of all characters. This was their idea of a Tomb Raider killer.
how is "our mascot ate Mario" among the less edgy mascots?
Devouring one's foes is actually a fairly common gimmick among 1990s platformer mascots, and alone does not an edgy mascot make. Kirby eats his enemies, and Kirby is among the least edgy things which have ever existed.
You need to understand that the competition for Most Performatively Edgy 90s Platformer Mascot includes shit like this:
Steelblue Ladybird Beetles (Halmus chalybeus), family Coccinellidae, Australia
