Developed by Sunsoft, Looney Tunes arrived on the Game Boy Color in 1998 as a platformer.

It belongs to the GBC's earliest wave of games. Other notable GBC releases from 1998 include Wario Land II, Pokémon Trading Card Game and Bomberman Quest.

It is part of the Looney Tunes series; on the GBC you can also try Looney Tunes Collector: Alert!, Bugs Bunny & Lola Bunny: Operation Carrot Patch and Sylvester and Tweety: Breakfast on the Run. The series also appears on other systems with Road Runner's Death Valley Rally (SNES) and Looney Tunes B-Ball (SNES). Sunsoft also made Blaster Master: Enemy Below, Daffy Duck: Fowl Play and Shanghai Pocket for the GBC.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to run, jump and explore
  • you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
  • you've played the GBC hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Looney Tunes is like

Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.

Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
