It landed about 4 years into the NES's life. Other notable NES releases from 1989 include Mother, Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse and DuckTales.
It is part of the Bugs Bunny series; on the NES you can also try The Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout and The Bugs Bunny Blowout. The series also appears on other systems with The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle 2 (Game Boy) and Bugs Bunny in Double Trouble (Genesis). Kemco also made Dragon Wars, Ghost Lion and Space Hunter for the NES.

What playing The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle 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.
