The idea of an Ecco Jr. 2 might seem like a joke but it could of been a game with alot of potential. If there were an Ecco Jr. 2 it would have story elements related to Ecco 2. Ecco Jr. was alot like the original Ecco the Dolphin; filled with puzzles and a search for something special. The Vortex would have a softened up image and a friendlier role. Like the previous Ecco Jr. enemies could not inflict harm on your characters.
The first level would be based in Atlantis where you'd find a machine that would take you to the planet Vortex. The storyline would simply consist of Ecco searching for his mother, Cassandra, who got lost as she went to explore the alien planet. There would be puzzles involving a search for a blue, pink and red Vortex drone.
Ecco would have his friends Kitnee and Tara as playable characters. Some of the puzzles will involve morphing into a bird, jellyfish and a fish, using these forms as an advantage to solving puzzles.
The Vortex Queen would be the final "puzzle" of the game and she wouldn't look as scary as the original Ecco. We'd probably give her some friendly eyes and straight human like teeth, and probably turn that scary mouth into a nice "G" rated smile.
You would have to scare her away in order for Ecco to find his mother Cassandra. Scaring away the Vortex Queen would involve playing musical notes in a DDR fashion until she surrenders and escapes. The game would end with Cassandra, Ecco and his friends frolicking, along with the pink Vortex and all the friends he made on his journey.
