Toontown Online - Playgrounds

Playgrounds

Playgrounds are the areas of Toontown that are permanently safe from Cogs. In the playgrounds, Toons can receive new Toontasks, turn in completed tasks, purchase gags, play trolley games, or go fishing. Each playground features one of Disney's classic animated characters (Mickey, Donald, Daisy, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, or Chip 'n Dale) as an NPC. In the middle of Toontown Central is Toon Hall, where the mayor of Toontown resides. He is referred to as "Flippy" and is in most of the Toontown commercials which have been discontinued. In the game, Flippy is a NPC. He is also used as an in-game SOS, which you can earn by defeating the Sellbot VP. Toons also use the Playgrounds to heal after they have become injured in battle. Toons do not die but they do become sad; a sad Toon teleports to the nearest playground automatically to heal and restock. Playgrounds heal Toons slowly over time, but scattered around them are various "treasures" unique to each playground that speed up the process. Toons that are sad can not leave the playground until they have at least 1 laff point in their meter.

There is a playground in each "neighborhood" of Toontown: Toontown Central, Donald's Dock, Daisy Gardens, Minnie's Melodyland, The Brrrgh, Donald's Dreamland, Goofy's Speedway, and Chip n' Dale's Acorn Acres. Each playground and neighborhood share a unique theme. The themes are given with a character, and a theme to match the name of the neighborhood (for example, Minnie's Melodyland has a musical theme). Each playground (except for Goofy Speedway & Acorn Acres) connects to two or more neighborhood streets that contain Cogs and Cog buildings. The difficulty increases with each neighborhood passed.

Toons can participate (Sellbot VP, Cashbot CFO, etc.). In simple battles, any Toon can walk in on the battle and participate, provided there aren't already four Toons doing so. For building and boss battles, the boss battles held inside Cog HQs (permanent Cog headquarters), the participating Toons must all enter at the same time, after which the building is sealed until the battle ends. Players can also purchase "doodles", virtual pets the player can name and train to do various tricks. Trick phrases are purchased from the Cattlelog to be taught to the doodle. Doodles help restore a Toon's Laff points when told to do a trick, they can also be called forth during a battle using the SOS button to raise your and your team mate(s)'(s) laff.
