The Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout, known in Japan as Happy Birthday Bugs (ハッピーバースディ・バックス^?) and in Europe as The Bugs Bunny Blowout, is the title of a Kemco video game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game is a sequel to the game titled The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle released in the previous year.

[edit] Storyline

The game is a side-scrolling adventure game where you control the famous Warner Brothers cartoon character Bugs Bunny on a quest to get to his 50th birthday party. He is armed with a mallet that he can swing at various enemies to defeat them, deflect certain projectiles or destroy bricks. He can also collect hearts to restore his health and carrots for bonus points. At the end of each level, Bugs Bunny had to use his mallet to defeat a Warner Brothers cartoon character such as Foghorn Leghorn, Sylvester, or the Tasmanian Devil. Porky Pig is featured in the box art, but not in the game itself. These other Looney Tunes characters are trying to stop Bugs because they are all jealous that Bugs gets all the attention.

Levels:

• 1: Grass land (Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird, Daffy, Wile E. Coyote)
• 2: Desert (Daffy, Tweety, Nessun boss, Yosemite Sam)
• 3: Evening Canyon (Daffy, Elmer Fudd, Daffy, Sylvester Cat)

Bugs Bunny's abilities include: jumping, diving into holes, and using his mallet as a form of attack. He can also land on top of enemies without getting damaged.

[edit] Opponents

• Daffy Duck: appears in every level. Punches Bugs. Daffy is not a character to defeat, but one to avoid in order to get to the giant carrot that takes Bugs to the next stage.
• Tweety:- appears in most levels. Throws tomatoes at Bugs.
• Wile E. Coyote: Lunges at Bugs with a knife and fork.
• Yosemite Sam: Fires his pistols.
• Elmer Fudd: launches nets from rifle.
• Sylvester and Sylvester Jr.: roll toward Bugs on skateboard. You must defeat Sylvester Jr. before Sylvester comes on screen.
• Pepe Le Pew: Creates clouds of skunk fumes.
• Foghorn Leghorn and Henery Hawk: Foghorn walks back and forth and cannot be defeated. Bugs must defeat Henery to defeat them both. When Henery falls, Foghorn falls at the same time.
• Taz: Hurls footballs at the player. Bugs must bounce the footballs back at Taz to defeat him.

[edit] Trivia

• Although Porky Pig is on the cover, he does not appear in the game itself. The opposite is Foghorn Leghorn who isn't on the cover, but appears in the game itself
• The included game manual contained a screen shot of one of the menus where you could enter in a code. If you enter in the code they use as an example, it takes you to the very last level.
