They've been carrying on this way ever since that menace to merriment,Montana Max, kidnapped Babs Bunny. What they wouldn't do to hear just one ofher knock-knock jokes again.You see, it all started during the Animation Festival at Acme Loo. The festival has always been a grand celebration in Acme Acres, highlighted by theacreenings of student films. Every year Montana Max tries to bribe the judgesto vote for his film befcause he is accustomed to having his way. He's a richdude with an attitude. Monty has always been jealous of Buster Bonny and itonly made matters worse when Buster won "Best Student Film".That's when mean-hearted Monty reached maximum boil. He was going to get evenif it was the last thing he did. While Babs was on her way to Buster's houseto congratulate him on his win, Monty and his thugs lured her away to hismansion with the promise of making her a star. To parade his prize catch, Monty brought a TV station and broadcast a live "na-na-you-can't-catch-me"speech for all of the stunned citizens of Acme Acres to see.Well Buster was one bummed out bunny. He was even about ready to give upjumping. But here comes his pals Plucky Duck, Dizzy Devil and Furrball topledge their help in rescuing everyone's favorite female bunny. With a littlehelp from you, Buster and his buddies can now set out on their adventure-packed mission to the outer fringes of Acme Acres to rescue Babs. Can theypossible survive the slew of snares that Monty had laid out for them? Youbetter get jumping or it'll be "curtains" for our playful pals!---Getting in toonThe object of this adventure is to rescue Babs from Monty's Mansion before time runs out. You assume the role of the hero, Buster bunny. Press the STARTBUTTON to get things hopping. First you will visit Shirley The Loon the fortune-telling Toon who will have some valuable advice to offer. In herchambers, you will also select one of your three faithful friends to takealong on the next leg of your journey. Since you've got to move fast, you canonly take one at a time. Press the CONTROL PAD Left or Right to select PluckyDuck, Dizzy Devil or Furrball. Then press the A BUTTON to lock in yourselection and move to the Map screen. You can re-select a partner at the startof each new stage. You'll notice that if you leave any of your players standing still for too long, each will display his impatience in his own style. Remember, each of your pals also has unique talents which may come inespecially handy at different times. To switch to the character you've broughtalong, you must pop a balloon and grab the prize Toon-A-Round inside.---Stay toonedA Map Screen will appear next to pinpoint your location on the Toony trail.You've got 6 stages to tackle, each of which has several levels. Watch out forElmyra who is hiding in rooms throughout the game and just waiting for a cuddly toon to love to pieces. She means well, and truly adores all creatures,but her hugs will send you all the way back to the beginning of the stage. Soavoid her like the measles.At the end of each stage, you will have to face one of Monty's brutishGuardians who will do everything in his power to see that you don't pass himby. You'll have to use some fancy footwork to take him out. Once you do, though, you'll be able to grab the Key and move on to the next stage. In thefifth level, Gogo Dodo holds the final Keys. (There are five in all.) His split personality acts up, dividing him into five different characters. You'llhave to catch all five to get the Keys. When you've conquered a level you'llsee a door. That means it's time to "exit stage left," or right as the casemay be. Before you move to the next stage, a Progress Screen shows you whichstage and level you're at, how many points you've earned and your Time Clockautomatically moves back to zero.Sound easy? Well it might be if it weren't for Monty's creepy crew who crowdevery level and do their level best to trip you up. They'll make you hoppingmad, so the best thing to do is hop right on their heads and stomp them. Someof the special moves and the underwater moves use up your Power Meter and onceit's all gone, you can't "attack". Keep an eye on it because it will replenishitself in time. You'll lose your "life" if one of the thugs gets the best ofyou, if you fall off the course, if your time runs out, or if you get "injured" too much. When that happens, you will start again as the samecharacter at the beginning of the level if you still have any of your threePlayers left. If you've used up all three of your Players then the game willbe over.
