PrinceWatercress plays Looney Tunes - Part 6 of 6


In this final stage, you play as Bugs Bunny. You'll have to beat Elmer Fudd to win in this starring role, but if you can do that, you'll beat the game!

Stage 7: Bugs Bunny

Bugs Bunny controls much like Daffy Duck does. Left and Right let you move around, Down ducks, A jumps and B throws the discus. Unlike Daffy, however, Bugs moves faster, and if you throw the discus while running, the discus goes slightly further.

The enemies here are the same as the ones in Stage 5. This time, you're in some sort of castle (or something). The game doesn't make it particularly clear.

The platforms in the second and third room stop moving when you jump straight. That's good news in the third room, as there are spikes on the bottom that rise up and stab Bugs in the feet if you don't jump straight up in time. Thankfully, you'll be able to land safely back on the platform as the spikes lower back down.

The blocks that look like eagles are spear traps that cause spears to drop down when you land on them. They will usually be surrounded by cracked blocks that break under your weight, but they can be easy to avoid. It is possible to bounce off the top of a ghost and walk on a ceiling.

Afterwards, you'll face a few bosses. Yosemite Sam is the same as in Stage 1. The bird skeleton will constantly move and jump towards you, and you'll need a combination of jumps and discus attacks to take it out quickly. You'll fight the mummy from Stage 5 again (which is easier due to having the discus and no spiked ceiling), followed by the frog boss from Stage 5 (which is easier due to having the discus and no stairs in the room) and Marvin the Martian from Stage 1 (which is easier due to having no stairs). You'll then fight a small, circle-shaped guy with sunglasses who carries a rock and throws it around. When he stops in front of you, jump clear over him to avoid the rock, then hit him in the back with the discus. Jump over this boss again when he rushes at you, and use running discus throws to hit the guy in the back as he approaches his boulder. Eventually, he'll go down. The bosses will drop a health flask when you beat any of them.

After the boulder boss, be ready to drop down to the next area. When the boulder shows up to roll down the slopes, keep alternating between left and right as you fall and try not to touch the floor to make the swift descent as easy as possible. From here, take care of the enemies and get the two health flasks at the end. You'll then face Elmer Fudd, who is the final boss of the game.

Elmer will fire three-way shots at regular intervals. For best results, keep yourself on top of Elmer at all times, and throw the discus at Elmer if and when you touch the ground. At half health, Elmer will lose his hat, and he will jump around more than he usually does. Keep Bugs above him at all times and you should be able to beat him. When you grab the carrot to end the stage, you'll also end the game. You just beat Looney Tunes for Game Boy! Enjoy the ending montage and the fact that Foghorn Leghorn and Pepe le Pew are on the ending screen despite not appearing in the game.
