Tiny Toon Adventures is an old platforming video game based on the television cartoon of the same name. It was released on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991 and was developed and published by Konami.

The player begins as Buster Bunny, using Dizzy Devil, Furball, and Plucky Duck as sidekicks. There are six worlds throughout the game. The object of the game is to rescue Babs Bunny, who has been captured by Montana Max.

Players are able to switch back and forth from Buster to another character via acquiring an item hidden in each level. Sidekicks are chosen before each level. Each of Buster's three sidekicks have a special trait that helps in getting through various obstacles. Plucky can fly briefly, Dizzy can spin through walls, and Furball can climb trees.

Enemies include Roderick Rat, Elmyra Duff, and Gene Splicer.

Plot[]

Gameplay[]

The player initially controls Buster Bunny in the effort to rescue Babs Bunny from her kidnapper, Montana Max. Before each world, the player can select an alternate character that they can switch into if they find a star ball. The three alternate characters are Dizzy Devil, Furrball, and Plucky Duck. Dizzy, Furrball, and Plucky have unique abilities that Buster lacks: Plucky can briefly fly, Dizzy can destroy walls and most enemies with his spin mode, and Furrball can climb many vertical surfaces, slowly sliding down them rather than plunging down. However, Buster can jump higher than others.

There are six worlds in the game, with three levels each: The Hills, The Wetlands, The Trees, Downtown, Wackyland (unlike the rest, this world only has one level), and Montana Max's Mansion. Aiding Buster is Hamton, who will give Buster an extra lives for 30 carrots each. The second level in each world concludes with an enclosed area where the player must avoid Elmyra and exit through the door; if the player is grabbed by Elmyra, they must start the world over. The third level in each world concludes with a boss battle.

Duck Vader (a parody of Darth Vader) makes a cameo appearance as a secret boss if the number of carrots collected in any level is odd multiple of eleven. If the player can defeat him without losing one life in the process, three extra lives will be gained.
