The plot is simple; it's Bugs Bunny's 50th birthday, and he's been invited to a party by his fanclub as a guest of honor.

The game is a typical side-scrolling platformer in the vein of Franchise/SuperMarioBros, made as part of Bugs Bunny's 50th anniversary celebration at the time. Unfortunately, the other WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes ensemble get word of Bugs' party and decide to go out of their way to keep Bugs from going to it purely out of jealousy.

* CoversAlwaysLie: Porky Pig pops up on the games cover, even though he's not present at all in-game, not even as a cameo. This was presumably a holdover from the fact that Porky ''was'' planned to be in the game at one point, but was cut.
