Warner
Bros.’ cartoon rabbit Babs dreams of becoming a famous star in Tiny Toon
Adventures: Babs’ Big Break. To achieve her goal of stardom, she sets off
for the Acme Theater, a place where show business dreams come true.
Unfortunately,
bad guy Montana Max has different plans for the theater. He wants to turn
it into a giant safe so he can show off all his money. He also wants to
bring the curtains down on Babs, whose flights of fancy make him nauseous.
Fellow Toons Buster Bunny, Plucky Duck and Hampton the pig must catch Babs
before Monty catches her first.
You
begin the game as Buster Bunny, but you can change to Plucky or Hampton
and back again as often as you like. Each character has a different method
of attack: Hampton rolls watermelons, Buster hurls carrots, and Plucky
pitches pineapples. Throughout the game you’ll need to pick up these items
to add to your supply of ammo. In addition to firing projectiles, all the
characters can jump on the birds, creepy creatures and other enemies.
At
the end of each level you will need to call on a helper to assist you in
performing a task, such as burrowing through a mountain wall. Helpers,
which are hidden in the levels, include Dizzy Devil, Furrball, Fifi and
Shirley the Loon. Also helpful are jewelry boxes, which release collectibles
such as hearts (life units), I-ful icons (invincibility) and other items.
As
you walk, bounce, jump, spin, glide and zoom (on a jet bike) through the
creepy alleyways, secret underground chambers, cloudy skies, scary woods
and other areas of the game’s four levels of play, you’ll collect a multitude
of gems. You should collect enough of these to play mini-games like Montana
Mash, which is similar to the classic carnival mole game, and Race Against
Toon, which is a split-screen, side-scrolling racer in which you frenetically
press A or B in order to run as fast as you can. To access a mini-game
you must find the correct entryway, such as a tree trunk or a manhole.
The
four levels in this game are Sure Weird Forest, Acme Looniversity, Pipsqueak
Pipe Maze and Groovy Train. In each level you’ll face one of four bosses:
Arnold the Pit Bull, Armor, Wolverine or Montana Max. |
