New animals, new behaviors, man more hours of fun. Radical Remake – African Adventures Part I Many of them were extremely popular, which is why I’m adding this quick annotation on these too. I think this list came out looking exactly how I wanted, and you will be able to truly make your zoo feel like a completely different place once all of the mods are installed.Ī word of warning though – if you’re a fan of dinosaurs, there are plenty of mods that add them to the game. I’ve tried to make a varied list that includes animals from all regions of the world. Thankfully, the mod community listened to my prayers once again and created a bunch of mods to enrich the natural habitats of the game. I just feel that maybe there should be a bit more animals that we could choose from. ![]() I do play sandbox, but hey, that’s just what rocks my boat. The Campaign Mode for this map is short, starting with a tutorial and ending with the player needing to have 8 animals (of which may be any combination of the Bottlenose Dolphin, Rockhopper Penguin, Green Sea Turtle, and Orca) and $2,000 in marine show donations.įor this subject's image gallery, see Gallery:Zoo Tycoon 2: Marine Mania.Zoo Tycoon is one of those games where I can literally spend hours upon hours playing and it will never stress me out. ![]() This map could be played on in either Sandbox Mode or Campaign Mode. Included in this demo was a custom map to demonstrate the new tank building and marine show mechanics. In the American version of Marine Mania, the cover art depicts a walrus on a glacier behind the orca, while the European version artwork has no walrus on a glacier and several people looking behind the tank have been removed as well.ĭemo Main article: Zoo Tycoon 2: Marine Mania Demo.Ī demo for Marine Mania was released in collaboration with Perdue Farms that was both physically and available to download for free on the Zoo Tycoon 2 website. It is worthy of note that all of the new animals go into either the above categories or the tundra biome. Players can now dive underwater in "guest mode". This way, animals like the walrus can come onto land to rest, and go back into the water later, while allowing guests to view the animals both above ground and in the water. The game also allows the player to build mixed tank-land exhibits, also called hybrid tanks. The player can buy koi fish as a decoration (they are still alive) but they die quickly as they have no food or other biome modifications.įour new biomes have been added with the expansion, in addition to the other ten from the original game:īesides this, the method of biome layout has been altered, enabling players to filter rocks, plants and trees while laying down the terrain. These animals appear automatically in water that the player places, but are non-adoptable and cannot be moved (or eaten by inhabitants of tanks). In the following expansion, Extinct Animals, this was changed so the beaver and crocodile could now submerge. ![]() Polar bears and emperor penguins from the original Zoo Tycoon 2 were updated to swim underwater, while Nile crocodiles and American beavers were left as Blue Fang Games believed, contrary to scientific fact, that those two were incapable of doing so. Animals which use land will generally accept either the rock or desert islands instead of normal land, and so may be kept in tanks or hybrid exhibits. Animals like the rockhopper penguin or California sea lion, which live in coastal areas, require a combined land and water exhibit to remain happy. Players are also able to swim with certain animals, by "riding" on them.Īnimals can use either a tank or regular exhibit water. Tricks by different animals in the same act as each other takes place at roughly the same time.Īnimals which can perform in shows must be trained first, either by the player playing minigames, or by hiring a trainer. The player choreographs the show by adding trick into the acts of the show. The shows take place in a tank adjacent to the animal's regular tank, accessible through a tank portal. The difficulty of the training is increased by the form becoming narrower, the tracer moving more quickly and the addition of such obstacles as the player needing to press an arrow key or click the mouse at a certain point. The training increases the animal's skill in that particular trick, as the animal becomes more skilled the training becomes more difficult. The player uses a "training wand" to follow a tracer along a form which differs with the trick that is being taught. The training minigame takes place in a training area, inside the animal's tank. The player can train individual animals in the first-person, guest mode themselves or hire a trainer to train the animals. Marine Mania introduces shows and an animal training minigame (more minigames were later introduced in Extinct Animals) which were previously not in the other expansions of the game.
