Bubsy in: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind,[a] often shortened to Bubsy, is a platform game developed by Accolade and released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis in 1993.[5] It is the first entry in the Bubsy series of video games. The game's title is a play on words in reference to the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind,[6] with the game revolving around Bubsy defending the planet's supply of yarn balls from alien invaders.[7]

The game was ported to Windows in 1997 under the title Super Bubsy. A sequel, Bubsy 2, was released in 1994.[8]
