Abstract: We prove the existence of series of plane rational $1$- and $2$-cuspidal curves by constructing suitable Cremona transformations which transform the curves $V(xy^{d-1}-z^d )$ resp. $V(xy^{d-1}-z^d-z^{d-1}y)$ into the desired ones. Further, we obtain a complete list of existing types of rational cuspidal plane curves having one or two cusps with maximal multiplicity $m_{\rm{max}} = \deg C - 2$ resp. $m_{\rm{max}} = \deg C - 3$.
