Looney Tunes: Duck Amuck
Encyclopedia
Looney Tunes: Duck Amuck is a game for the Nintendo DS
. Like the original cartoon short Duck Amuck
, it involves an external entity (in this case the player) manipulating Daffy Duck
's environment.
In this game, you use a stylus
to compete against Daffy Duck in various minigames with the goal of making him angry. The game also features wireless game play which allows players to not only gang up on Daffy as a team but also battle each other in head to head competition. You can also collect many famous Looney Tunes character coins. They are hidden in the mini-games in the form of sparkles.
Over fifty mini-games can occur in Idle mode (When Daffy stands there with white in the background) and some you just have to mess with him to get mini-games. If you pick up Daffy and throw him to the right, then you'll get to Multi-Player mode. If you throw him to the left, it will show you all the gags (mini-games) you have unlocked. If you let go of him when he's in mid-air, he'll fall. Get his webbed foot then he'll go "Ouch!" Get his legs and he'll try to hide his private parts. Get his shoulder and he'll scream "Ow!" Get his forehead and you'll be given three paint cans.
There are buttons at the bottom of the screen. The wrench means options, the arrow means go back to Idle mode, the star means Coloring book, Sound Board, (Get to record your voice in place of Daffy's with the mic) and two videos you'll have to unlock. Now, the picture of the star in the circle means to look at all your character coins. If you look at your mini-games you need to unlock, it'll say 'collect all character coins to unlock'. If you do that you'll unlock a new game.
The game ends the same way the cartoon ended: Daffy demands to know who is doing all the scenery and messing him up. The game ends and shows Daffy himself as the scene designer (replacing Bugs Bunny
) playing a Nintendo DS ("Well, if you can't beat 'em, BE them!").
