GAMEPLAY


Gameplay involves playing as Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck . Each character has their own unique special abilities and the game requires using both characters. Along the way, Money is found all over the place, usually as Coin s and Bills . Gold Bullions are also found but rarely. Some items are buried in the ground. The money is used to access any of 4 other regions in the game such as Vegas or Paris. Each character can take 3 hits. Upon the third hit, they return to the last checkpoint. There is an unlimited number of lives.


Special abilities


Bugs Bunny has the special abilities of digging and double-jumping. By digging into the ground, buried items can be bumped up and be collected. It can also be used to get under low pathways. Double-jumping is used to get to high areas that Daffy cannot reach.

Daffy Duck has the special abilities of fluttering and swimming. Fluttering allows Daffy to cross large gaps (Bugs Bunny could if his double-jump is well-used). Bugs Bunny would drown upon falling in the water, but Daffy can swim in the water and collect items in it.


Challenges and regions


Bugs and Daffy must accomplish 4 to 6 challenges within each of 5 regions. Each region has about 5 different rooms that, at first, are not all accessible, but as challenges are fulfilled within the area, they become accessible. There are many types of challenges:

  • Find X of something - find and destroy a certain number of things such as wanted signs or Loudspeaker s. By finding all of the items, the challenge is fulfilled.

  • Battle - defeat an enemy such as Elmer Fudd .

  • Capture the monkey - chasing a monkey throughout an area and whacking it 3 times.

  • Minigame - popping Balloon s on a Roller Coaster (while avoiding Bomb s) or a game of tennis using kaboomers - succeeding yields the monkey in the main area.

  • Bonus - reaching a certain speed (from 220 to 300 mph) on the chase with Wile E. Coyote is one example.


To move between regions, a varied amount of money is needed, from $2000 to $5000, depending on the area. It's a one-time fee and switching between areas is done in the map screen.


Monkeys and other special items


Monkeys (Munkeys, as the game calls them) are the most important items in the game. There are also Michigan J. Frog statues and bird seed boxes. Monkeys are obtained in a variety of ways.

  • Challenges - accomplishing a challenge is the most common method.

  • Foghorn Leghorn - buying monkeys from Foghorn Leghorn, usually for $1500.

  • Granny - finding Sylvester and preventing him from eating Tweety .


Each region has 20 Michigan J. Frog statues and 7 bird seed boxes. The Michigan J. Frog statues collected do not reset upon leaving the region but the bird seed boxes collected does reset (meaning that they must be recollected when revisiting the area, if all were not collected in the previous visit).


Costumes


Each area has a unique costume for each character. For some challenges, such as the bull ride, the Duck Danger costume is required in order to access and fulfill the challenge. A small fee is used to rent the costume, usually $50 or $75 and can be rerented from the same door indefinitely until certain conditions are met.

Available costumes:
  • Bugs Bunny - Hula Costume, Spy Costume, Cowboy Costume, Space Costume

  • Daffy Duck - Duck Danger
