Viewtiful Joe 2 is a video game and sequel to Viewtiful Joe. The game was developed by Clover Studio and published by Capcom and released on November 23, 2004 for Nintendo GameCube and Sony PlayStation 2.
Viewtiful Joe 2 is a 2D side scrolling fighting adventure in which the player takes control of Joe in a fictious world called "Movieland". Within Movieland, Joe has "VFX Powers" such as Slow (similar to bullet-time), Mach Speed, and Zoom at his disposal to defeat the enemy. He is joined by girlfriend Silvia, who has also acquired VFX powers. However, Silvia has "Replay", which allows her to repeat an event three times in succession, instead of Joe's Mach Speed. During the game, the player can switch between Joe and Silvia at any time.

Super Sentai/Power Ranger References
- At the penultimate battle, the giant robot Six Majin and the spaceship Great Six Majin combine into Six X Six Majin. This is similar to how zords would combine into bigger zords in Power Rangers/Super Sentai.
