Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout is the title of a Kemco video game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game is a sequel to the game titled The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle released a few years before.

Storyline

The game is a side-scrolling adventure game where you control the famous Warner Brothers cartoon character Bugs Bunny on a quest to get to his 50th birthday party. He is armed with a mallet that he can swing at various enemies to defeat them, deflect certain projectiles or destroy bricks. He can also collect hearts to restore his health and carrots for bonus points. At the end of each level, Bugs Bunny had to use his mallet to defeat a Warner Brothers cartoon character such as Foghorn Leghorn, Sylvester, or the Tasmanian Devil. These other Looney Tunes characters are trying to stop Bugs because they are all jealous that Bugs gets all the attention.

Gameplay

The game was similar to the popular Super Mario Brothers video games in terms of its cartoony graphics and limited violence.

Bugs Bunny's abilities include: jumping, diving into holes, and using his mallet as a form of attack. He can also land on top of enemies without getting damaged.

Enemies

  • Daffy Duck: appears in every level. Punches Bugs. Daffy is not a character to defeat, but one to avoid in order to get to the giant carrot that takes Bugs to the next stage.

  • Wile E. Coyote: Lunges at Bugs with a knife and fork.
  • Yosemite Sam: Fires his pistols.

  • Sylvester and Sylvester Jr.: roll toward Bugs on skateboard. You must defeat Sylvester Jr. before Sylvester comes on screen.
  • Pepe Le Pew: Creates clouds of skunk fumes.

  • Presents: Garbage cans with monsters in them, Blocks with the letter S (perhaps cartons of soap powder, as they occasionally produce bubbles]], explosive Alarm Clocks and walking Hammers are some some of the numerous enemies that try to attack bugs on foot.
