Released for the Super Nintendo in 1993, Looney Tunes: Road Runner is a platformer developed by Sunsoft.
It landed about 2 years into the SNES's life. Other notable SNES releases from 1993 include Super Mario All-Stars, Secret of Mana and The Lost Vikings.
It is part of the Looney Tunes series; on the SNES you can also try Road Runner's Death Valley Rally, Looney Tunes B-Ball and Looney Tunes Basketball. The series also appears on other systems with Looney Tunes Collector: Alert! (GBC) and Bugs Bunny & Lola Bunny: Operation Carrot Patch (GBC). Sunsoft also made Lemmings, Justice League Task Force and The Death and Return of Superman for the SNES.

What playing Looney Tunes: Road Runner 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.
