Space Jam is a unique blend of basketball sim and minigames, set in the world of Looney Tunes. An invasion by tiny aliens forces the fate of the Tunes to be decided through a basketball game against the evil Monstars. The game stars Michael Jordan alongside his Looney Tunes friends, with players able to choose from several characters.
The gameplay is split between two-on-two and three-on-three basketball matches, as well as minigames that fill in the gaps. Completing these challenges upgrades your character's abilities on the court, with around five minigames available. These include a space race and finding Michael Jordan's lost basketball gear.
The multiplayer mode is a key aspect of the game, with options for traditional two-player versus, co-operative play, and even three-on-three games using multitaps. The Tunes roster features some of Looney Tunes' most iconic characters, while the Monstars bring their own brand of baddie basketball.
The gameplay is driven by several statistics, including Speed, Shooting, Rebounds, and a subtle stamina-like meter. As players progress through the game, they'll need to manage their character's fatigue levels.
The Intergalactic Tournament offers a series of five matches in a row, with one captain leading the team through each game. While there is no real single-player mode, the game has an arcade feel that's perfect for fans of lighthearted, fast-paced action.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a sports-themed arcade game where players control Looney Tunes characters and Michael Jordan in basketball matches against alien monsters. The game features various mini-games and challenges, such as retrieving items and power-ups, to enhance gameplay. Players navigate menus to select game types, options, and participate in an intergalactic tournament.
Story
STORY
The universe is full of mutant monsters. They've grown large and now want the basketball. Bugs, Daffy, Taz, and Foghorn Leghorn can't stop them.
The Looney Tunes crew decided they needed serious help with hoops. They convinced Michael Jordan to join their team. Michael is ready to help keep the Monstars from getting too big for their britches.
Join this cartoon contest to defeat the jumbo jammers. Space Jam offers out-of-this-world action with fun sublevels, featuring Warner Bros. cartoon favorites in a free-fall, free-for-all that doesn't let up.

THE TROPHY ROOM
Before the Big Game, Daffy Duck tries to retrieve Michael Jordan's basketball equipment (shorts, jerseys, shoes) from his trophy room to supercharge Michael. Daffy must contend with Charles the watchdog, squeaky toys, and a Nerdluck who wants to keep Daffy from getting Michael's stuff.
Daffy has limited time to get the items before the timer runs out. Daffy must also watch out for Charles, as nips from the pugnacious pup will slow him down.
β’
At least one player must be on the Tune Squad to visit this level.
TOON HINT

Use your wits and imagination. You may have to use some furniture to succeed!

HALF TIME LOCKER ROOM RUMPUS
Midway through the game, both teams want extra oomph. If you're on the Tune Squad (Bugs Bunny), you'll find Michael's water bottles, which hold a special elixir to increase Turbo power. If you're on the Monstar team, you'll control the "super essence," a purple vapor that increases Monstars' Turbo. Either way, it's a race against time and your opponent's tricks!
β’
In a 1 player game, you will play the Tune Up Search or Essence Round Up, depending on your team.
β’
If 2 or more players are competing on opposite teams (at least one player on the Tune Squad and Monstars), BOTH the Tune Up Search and Essence Round Up will be played.
TOON-UP SEARCH
You must open as many lockers as you can to gather water bottles before the timer runs out. Watch out for the underhanded tricks, distractions, and attacks of the Nerdlucks. You may have to dodge new and classic Looney Tunes cartoon threats: bombs, balls, and even shoes. Meanwhile, look for energy enhancing pick ups!

Bugs gets stronger with carrots.
β’
Keep an eye out for the alarm clock to put some extra time on the clock!
MONSTAR HINT
β’

You only get two chances with each item before you need to get more.

Team & Player Selection
Before you can get your hoop thing happening, you've got to choose which team you want to play on, and which character you wish to control. Up to 6 players can compete, 3 on each team (when using 2 Multi-Taps).
Choose your team with the Directional Button, then press the X or START BUTTON. A player portrait with attribute ratings will appear. Scroll through players with the Directional Button. Press the X BUTTON to select your character/player.
Continue until all players have chosen a character, then press the START BUTTON.
Substituting Players
In a regular (non Tournament) game, between quarters you may substitute a fresh player for a current one--even cartoons get tired! To do so, select Substitution and press the X BUTTON.
Then press LEFT or RIGHT at the substitution screen to highlight the player you wish to remove. Press the X BUTTON. Next, find the player you wish to bring in, and press the X BUTTON. Then press the START BUTTON to exit.
Note: Player 1 must select Substitute in order for other players to do so. So play fair, Player 1!
Player Attributes
Each player has differing amounts of the following attributes. The amount of each is shown by the number of basketballs.
β’
Speed: rates a player's speed on the court.
β’
Shooting: rates a player's shooting percentage.
β’
Rebounds: rates a player's ability to grab the rebound.
Game Modes
Space Jam features 4 quarters of hilarious hoop action between the Monstar aliens and the Tune Squad (with Michael Jordan)! You can also compete in up to 5 different games-within-a-game by choosing to play with the sub levels option ON.
Depending on whether you're playing as the Tune Squad or the Monstars, you'll be trying to help or hinder the toons. You can even compete in the Intergalactic Tournament, where you try to guide the Tune Squad to five straight wins! Here's the lowdown on all these great game modes.
Note: In a multi-player game, only the player with the lowest controller number on each team competes in Trophy Room, Locker Room and between quarter Sublevels.
Essence Roundup
As a Monstar team member, you control a mysterious purple vapor trying to capture as much Super Essence as you can to turn up the Monstars' turbo in the next quarters! Every time you touch the basketball player in the locker room, you'll add extra ability to your Monstar squad.
As a Tune Squad member, you'll be trying to protect the basketball player from the purple vapor with various traps and tricks.
Monstar Hint
Watch out for anything that can dissipate or disrupt your vapor--the toons will use everything they can to turn the tables on you!

Power Up Sub Levels
After both the 1st and 3rd quarters, if Sub Levels is turned ON (see Options), the Toon Sports Network will appear, where you can select one of three crazy ability-enhancing games. They each affect different abilities. You can even choose to play the same game twice (after the 1st and 3rd quarter) if you want to. To choose a game, highlight it and press the X BUTTON.
Speedy Gonzales' Crazy Space Race
Enemies & Characters
BUGS BUNNY
A cool, collected, carrot-chomping rabbit, Bugs can outsmart all of the Monstars on the court with never a 'hare' out of place.
LOLA BUNNY
With moves as fluid as carrot juice, Lola has the skills to stand toe-to-toe with any Monstar and take the ball to the hoop with authority.
TAZ
The Tasmanian Devil whirls, twirls, and hurtles his way onto the court; let's just hope he doesn't eat the ball.
DAFFY DUCK
This is one mallard who's definitely out to win some high-paying endorsements; the Monstars sum him up in one word: 'despicable'.
FOGHORN LEGHORN
This, I say, this is one Dixie Chicken with a high steppin' jump shot, the blabberin' baron of the barnyard and the court.
SYLVESTER
'Sufferin' succotash!' This is one cat that's not afraid of a little basketball (after a good meal, of course).
YOSEMITE SAM
Watch out for this rootin', tootin', six-gun shootin', varmint-hunting prospector as he picks up the b-ball with his 10-gallon hat.
ELMER FUDD
Lucky for us, Elmer is a better basketball player than a hunter.
WILE E. COYOTE
As long as Wile E. sticks to his jump shot and doesn't pull out his bag of Acme tricks, he's a safe bet.
PORKY PIG
'Th-th-th-a that's a b-basket, folks!'
PEPE LE PEW
This suave and debonair lover will sweep the ball off its feet with his loving charm.
MICHAEL JORDAN
Perhaps the best human basketball player on Earth, Michael will need all his skills against the out-of-this-world antics of the Monstars!
BUPKUS
Bupkus has a sense of humor that's truly awful; watch out for his speed!
MAWT
Almost human in size, Nawt is still all-Monstar, so watch out!
BLANKO
The tallest Monstar in the game, Blanko is tough to defend against!
BANG
This nasty brute has plenty of power; look out below!
POUND
Pound for pound, Pound is the biggest mound of rebound!
