Marsupilami 2 - Salsa Palombia
A strange melody has swept across Palombia… and suddenly every animal starts dancing wildly, throwing the jungle into total chaos! Behind this rhythmic madness lurks the Mummy Queen, back from the Underworld with her crew to deliver a cursed concert with devastating effects. To restore peace to the jungle, take control of the three young Marsus, each with their own signature ability. Twister shoots through the air with a turbo glide, Hope leaps forward with an energetic spinning jump, and Punch bounces with powerful force to knock aside anything in his path! Switch instantly from one Marsu to another to unleash their powers and chain together stylish moves. And for even more fun, share the adventure with a friend thanks to local co‑op mode! From the Jungle to the City, from Snowy Mountains to the mysterious Underworld…explore four enchanting worlds packed with surprises, challenges, and unique gameplay mechanics. Beyond the main adventure, take on the Flow Mode, a speed-focused challenge where you must complete a series of trials without dying to prove your skills! And for even more fun, challenge your friends in competitive dojos.

Praise
- The important thing to know, above all else, is that Marsupilami 2 is even better than the first Marsupilami game – and if you were lucky enough to play that game, you’ll know what an impressive achievement that is.
- With more distinct characters, a richer range of moves, more levels, and side modes that are both more varied and more demanding, Salsa Palombia avoids the dreaded “1.5 sequel” syndrome and fully earns its status as a proper follow-up. Sure, we would have loved to see a real story, or to revisit a world as captivating as the one from The Hidden World DLC. But those two missed opportunities don’t stop this new adventure from doing the platforming genre proud, even if it doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel. Younger players and seasoned gamers alike will find challenges suited to their skill level, while the vibrant, colorful art direction, always tasteful, is sure to appeal to absolutely everyone.
- Marsupilami 2: Salsa Palombia is one of those games that you will have a lot of fun with, if you’re into platformers. Despite being short, the game offers lots of great content and the platforming is very swift, responsive, not to mention challenging at times. The art style is amazing, and the different extra modes like mini games or the Salsa mode extend the lifespan of this experience, while pushing it to new heights. Another great thing about Marsupilami 2: Salsa Palombia is accessibility, since it offers multiple difficulty settings, including one that offers extra or even unlimited health. That’s great, because even beginners will find this game easy to play. And if you want to make things more challenging for yourself, you can totally do that. There are some issues like uneven boss fights or gated progression, but even so, this is a wonderful callback to the golden era of platformers. I wish they had more content here, but what’s there is not only delightful, but also really enjoyable.
Criticism
- Marsupilami 2 is the kind of game worth taking your Steam Deck on vacation for. It's perfect for a portable device: fast, simple, vibrant, and addictive. Kids will absolutely love it, and it's perfect after watching movies. This is a game that understands the joy of movement. It doesn't try to be smarter than you, doesn't bog you down with boring dialogue, and doesn't ask for donations. It just wants you to jump, dance, and smile.
