Bugs Bunny & Taz: Time Busters - References To Other Looney Tunes Media

References To Other Looney Tunes Media

  • The Sacred Dragon is the same one that Yosemite Sam rides in Knighty Knight Bugs. Similar dragons are also seen in the game's predecessor, Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time.
  • The mouse that appears in the intro and later in the Saving the Druid challenge in Shore Village resembles one of Hubie and Bertie. It also appeared in Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time.
  • Shore Village seems to be based on the village seen in Prince Varmint. Also, the elephant in the Saving the Druid challenge is from that short.
  • Moon Valley's boss, Gas-House, is a reference to the Gas-House Gorillas in Baseball Bugs.
  • Elmer Fudd uses his Viking gimmick from What's Opera, Doc? and the level Elmer's Domain is from that short.
  • The level Babba's Cave is based on Ali Baba Bunny and the boss, Babba Chop, is almost identical to Hassan, besides a few appearance differences. All of the lines Daffy says when he arrives in Babba's Cave (with the exceptions of asking Babba for directions to the exit and taking his quote of directive as a "no") are taken from the short. Also, the design of the elemental genies is based on the one from that short.
  • Caliph Hassen Pheffer from A-Lad-In His Lamp appears as the host of the spinning plates challenge. A similar character appears in the Carpet Chase level.
  • While hiding in Count's Castle from Count Bloodcount, Daffy comes across a laboratory and drinks a green liquid from a beaker. He then transforms into a monstrous green version of himself. This is the very same thing that happened to Bugs in Hyde and Hare and Tweety in Hyde and Go Tweet.
  • The three monsters in Ghost Town are based on Bang from the Monstars team in Space Jam. They have the same build, face and spots, and also wear shorts and sports shoes.
  • The entrance to Zoovania looks like the one in A Day at the Zoo. The manual refers to it as "Dr. Jeckyle's zoo", which may suggest that the animals transforming into monstrous versions of themselves at night is another reference to Hyde and Hare. However, Dr Jeckyle does not make an appearance or is mentioned in the game.
  • Count's Castle is based on Transylvania 6-5000 (One of Bloodcount's lines from that short, "Now I crush you!", is also incorporated into the first stage of his boss battle).

Famous quotes containing the word media:

    One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.
