Big Chungus II & Knuckles

"twice the FUN, twice the PLAYERS, twice the THICC"

-Big Chungus

Big Chungus II (and KNUCKLES) is the second video game in the Big Chungus franchise. It is notable for being the first video game distributed by Epic Games (although it was produced by Hello Games, like many of the Big Chungus games).

Premise
After he helped to liberate ChungusLand from the iron fist of Olmer Food and his gangs, Big Chungus enjoyed immense popularity. However, it threatens to all come down when Olmer Food returns with new helper Ludwig Von Koopa and threatens to destroy everything he worked for unless he flees the country. But hope arrives in the form of Knuckles.

Plot
Big Chungus is having fun after becoming a celebrity, but is confronted in the Subway Bar and Restaurant by Olmer Food, who threatens to kill Big Chungus and all of his loved ones unless he flees ChungusLand. Big Chungus begins to suffer from crippling depression as he begins to pack, but is shocked by the arrival of Knuckles the echidna. Knuckles and Big Chungus team up, and begin a plan to take down Olmer for good. However, they are attacked by Moto Moto as they plan, and he is defeated. However, before dying he reveals that Big Chungus is being hunted by the Great Gang, led by Olmer Food again. They flee to Chungville, and begin using Knuckles's speed and Big Chungus's raw power to assassinate gang members. However, a portal opens and Blue Uganda Knuckles Queen emerges, and they fight, eventually going to Uganda. However, the queen is defeated and the duo return to ChungusLand, but not before seeing the massive army of Uganda. After reaching West Beach to eliminate its gang members, they are attacked by the duo of Thanos and Shaggy, who are defeated but at significant cost. Big Chungus is gravely injured, but they receive help from Daffy Duck, and Big Chungus heals faster. They arrive at the Storm Temple, and Defeat Ludwig Von Koopa, who is Olmer's adopted son. They then go back to Chungtropolis, and see that Olmer Food has turned it into a police state controlled by him and his lieutenant Xander Cage. Big Chungus announces himself, and Olmer Food comes down to battle one on one, but secretly brings Xander Cage, who ends up fighting Knuckles. Olmer and Big Chungus have an extremely long and large battle that results in the destruction of the entire city center. By the end, Big Chungus is gravely wounded, and Olmer Food is about to kill him with his shotgun but Daffy hits him with a train. Xander Cage is forced to leave, but vows to return. Big Chungus and Knuckles celebrate the victory, but Knuckles disintegrates because Thanos killed him. Big Chungus sends him to the Pits of Despair. He then leaves, suffering from PTSD from his big battle. Then, the screen fades to black, saying, TO BE CONTINUED.

Sales
