Tiny Toon Adventures is based on an animated series of the same name. The Tiny Toons are kid versions of the famous Warner Bros. cartoon characters.
The story begins with Buster Bunny's latest loss in an animation festival at Acme Looniversity to Buster Bunny, Montana Max has taken his revenge by kidnapping Babs Bunny and locking her up in his mansion. Now, a single player must rescue her. The game is set on six side-scrolling platform levels, each consisting of three stages, with the exception of Wackyland which has only one stage.
Before each level begins, Shirley the Loon will ask the player which character to use for that level. Each character has different abilities, so choosing the right partner is important. Buster starts with three lives, but more can be collected by visiting Hamton J. Pig and cashing out 30 carrots each.
The game ends when all remaining lives are gone or when Montana Max is defeated.
