Daffy Duck in Hollywood is a platform game released for the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Master System, and Sega Game Gear in 1995, starring the Looney Tunes character Daffy Duck.
Contents
Story
The mad Professor Duck Brain has stolen Yosemite Sam's Golden Movie Awards. He is holding them for a million dollar ransom and has left a trail of dynamite to deter anyone from pursuing him. Sam calls upon Daffy Duck to recover his awards and deal with the mad professor and his henchmen.
Gameplay
Mega Drive version
The game is a platformer starring Daffy Duck, who explores levels based on movie genres. Daffy must collect all bundles of dynamite to unlock the next section of the level and eventually the exit. Each section is blocked off by a wall; if Daffy stands next to the wall without collecting all of the dynamite, an arrow points him back the way he came. When he collects all of the dynamite, the game alerts him "GO!" to notify him that the blocker is unlocked. Daffy must also find all of Yosemite Sam's Golden Movie Awards hidden in the levels to get the good ending.
Daffy walks with or , runs by holding with a or , and crawls with or . Many items, including bundles of dynamite, are in hidden rooms accessible only by crawling. He ducks with and jumps with . He can jump farther while running. Daffy's weapon of choice is a bubble cannon to shoot enemies, which he fires with . The bubble gun traps enemies in bubbles, which Daffy can pop by touching. Enemies return if Daffy does not pop their bubbles.
Daffy has three health points. When he loses all three health points, he can take one more hit before he loses a life. He also loses a life if time runs out. He restarts the level at the beginning of the last section. Time is replenished at the start of each section. Daffy is also ambushed in various cartoonish ways if he stands idle for too long, which also costs him a life.
Items
Items bubble up from bubbles in the ground. Upgrades for the bubble gun last until the end of the level.
Levels
Each world is named after a Daffy Duck cartoon and consists of three levels. The first two worlds are initially available; the player can choose to play any of the first six levels in any order. After completing all of the levels, Daffy faces a boss, which unlocks another two worlds, whose levels can again be played in any order. Daffy faces another boss after completing these levels, which unlocks the final two worlds.
