Spot Goes to Hollywood is a platform game developed by Eurocom and published by Acclaim Entertainment in North America and Virgin Interactive Entertainment in Europe for the Mega Drive/Genesis as the sequel to Cool Spot. Saturn and PlayStation versions were later released with full-motion video clips and isometric graphics. The player controls Spot, the mascot of the 7 Up soft drink, as he travels to various places trying to free his friends.

The game was released in 1995. The game received mixed to negative reviews from critics, depending on the platform. Critics praised the graphics and level design, but criticized the game for its bad sound effects (in the Genesis version), frustrating controls, and objects being hard to see due to gaps covering them.[1] A 32X version of the game was in development but never released.
