Gameplay

This game features Buster Bunny in a side-scrolling adventure. It has three difficulty level settings: easy, normal, and hard (in game they are known as "Children", "Normal" and "Challenge" modes respectively) (except the Japanese version which only has easy and normal). Levels are significantly smaller in easy mode, and Buster only has one health container in hard mode, although extra containers can be collected by exploring the levels. The number of containers are reset after each level. This is done to add more of a challenge in this mode.

There are a total of six levels in the game when played normally (the fifth level is removed in easy mode). Buster's objectives vary from level to level, ranging from feeding Dizzy Devil so he stops destroying the school kitchen to defeating "Duck Vader". As is common for the era, the full ending is only accessed by finishing the game on hard (or normal in the Japanese release).

After completing each level, the player is given a chance to earn extra lives by playing a minigame, the type of which is determined by spinning a wheel based on the one seen in the episode, "The Wheel O'Comedy".

There are six stages:

Stage 1: Acme Looniversity

As the game begins, Buster realizes he is late for class and dashes off, despite Babs' warning of the escaped animals within.

Stage 2: The Western Movie

The next stage is the set of a western movie being filmed, which Montana Max claims he is the star of.

Stage 3: Spook Mansion

After clearing the previous stage, it starts to rain, so Buster seeks shelter in a seemingly-abandoned mansion, which he notes is an obvious cliché.

Stage 4: Acme Looniversity Football

This stage, based on the episode, The Acme Bowl, is set in a football game between Acme Looniversity and Perfecto Prep (not called by name in the game), with the score at 10–14. Buster is the star receiver on his team and must run the ball 100 yards over the field to score a touchdown and win the game.

Stage 5: Buster's Sky-jinks

For this stage, Buster goes up into the sky to retrieve an item that Calamity Coyote accidentally left up there.

Stage 6: Space Opera

Based on the episode, A Quack in the Quarks, the game's final stage is an outer space setting where Buster plays "a Knight of Honor" who has to rescue Babs, who is in her Princess Leia-based attire.
