The Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout, known in Japan and on the title screen as Happy Birthday Bugs (ハッピーバースディ・バッグス) and in Europe as The Bugs Bunny Blowout, is a

platform video game developed and published by Kemco for the Nintendo Entertainment System
in 1990.

Plot

It is Bugs Bunny's 50th birthday anniversary. However, his friends, who were not invited, feel envious and decide to prevent Bugs from getting to his birthday party. By the time Bugs reaches his house, it turns out that his friends were playing tricks on him to stall him until they got his party ready.

Gameplay

The game is a side-scrolling platform game where players control

Sylvester, or the Tasmanian Devil. These other Looney Tunes characters are trying to stop Bugs because they are all jealous that Bugs gets all the attention. Many of them can be damaged with the mallet or their own projectiles, but Daffy Duck can only be avoided in order to reach a carrot that takes him to the next level. Despite appearing on the cover, Porky Pig does not appear in the game. The gameplay is very similar to that of Super Mario Bros. 2
(1988).

At the end of each level, Bugs can play a minigame, which allows him to earn

extra lives
. The total amount he can earn is 99. Despite the name on the packaging, the North American and European releases retain the game's Japanese title, Happy Birthday Bugs, on the game's title screen.
