Bugs Bunny Rabbit Rampage

Viacom New Media (a then-sister company to Nickelodeon, who had broadcast Looney Tunes cartoons at the time of the game's release) and published by Sunsoft released exclusively for the SNES in 1994. The player controls Bugs Bunny as he fights traditional Looney Tunes villains in order to confront the main villain of the story, animator Daffy Duck. The game's title is derived from the 1955 animated short with the same name, which follows a similar plot of Bugs at the mercy of an antagonistic animator, revealed to be Elmer Fudd. The characters in the game were voiced by Greg Burson.[1][2]

Gameplay

The goal of the game is to guide Bugs who is trapped by

while also figuring out how to damage them.

In the final level, Bugs has to spill all of the paint Daffy uses while avoiding his 3 alter egos. After spilling all of the paint Bugs then has to defeat Drip-Along Daffy if all the paint hasn't been spilled or Robin Hood Daffy if all the paint was spilled as well as avoid Duck Dodgers who can't be defeated at all and can kill Bugs in one hit with his laser blaster.

The credits play, but there's tons of dynamite there. After the credits finish rolling, Daffy pops up and says, "You're despicable!" The "That's All Folks" title card appears and an explosion shakes the camera.
