* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: [[spoiler: The final boss, the stone monkey golem, has no buildup, appears completely out of nowhere, and doesn't even have any story reason for being there other than providing a way for the heroes to stop the ACME Chairman from carrying out his plan. In fact, the Chairman himself ends up being TheUnfought, while the boss is fought as a mutated Tweety rather than Bugs or Daffy, whom you've been playing as the entire game.]]

* CatharsisFactor: Given the general view on Pepe Le Pew in recent decades, seeing him being cooked alive in the "There's a Toon in My Soup!" mission becomes ''very'' satisfying. You can also freely beat on him for as long as you want, although he'll attempt to hit you back.

Added DiffLines:

* ButtMonkey:
** As is to be expected, Daffy Duck and Wile E. Coyote.
** Later in the game, Foghorn Leghorn ends up as this, first having his body switched with a monkey, then almost being cooked alive and turned into stew, then ''actually'' being turned into a monkey along with everyone else at the end of the game.

* ArcVillain: Most levels have a classic Looney Tunes villain being responsible for the level's conflict:
** Warner Bros Studio has Porky Pig and Speedy Gonzalez. Downplayed in that they aren't really villainous since they're just doing their job as security guards.
** Paris & the Louvre has Elmer Fudd.
** Wooden Nickel has Yosemite Sam.
** Area 52 has Marvin the Martian.
** Jungle Ruins downplays this with Taz, who only appears in a single mission, and has otherwise nothing to do with the tribesmen that have been pestering you the whole level.
** The ACME Chairman can be considered this for the game as a whole.



* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: Some characters, when hit, will attempt to hit you back.

to:

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential:
** This is actually ''needed to progress'' at a few points in Wooden Nickel, where you must attack Elmer Fudd to create balloon platforms that Bugs and Daffy can bounce off of. Nothing's stopping you from continuing to wail on Elmer.
** You can hit Oliver Owl to make him stop singing if he begins to get on your nerves.
** You can have Bugs or Daffy attack each other depending on who you're currently playing as.
* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: Some characters, when hit, such as Granny, will attempt to hit you back.back if you attack them.


Added DiffLines:

* WhatTheHellPlayer: Bugs and Daffy will often complain if you spend a long time without switching to the other.

* AdamSmithHatesYourGuts: The travel fare for each area gets more expensive the farther in the game you get. Foghorn Leghorn will also increase the price on his monkeys in each subsequent area.

Added DiffLines:

* HopeSpot: The Wile E. Coyote bonus levels end with Wile E. seemingly having finally achieved his lifelong dream of catching the Road Runner... [[KickTheDog only for Road Runner to suddenly reveal it was actually a monkey in disguise, meaning Wile E. still failed]]. Even in the games, Wile E. Coyote is still a ButtMonkey.

Added DiffLines:

* DevelopersForesight:
** By pausing the game, you can automatically cut off dialogue that any character was currently speaking. Should you do this while Bugs or Daffy is speaking to the character currently being played as, they'll have unamused reactions to the player doing so when they return to the game.
** Normally, Bugs and Daffy will appear in a small portrait while they talk to the player. However, if the other is on screen when they start talking, the portrait won't appear, and they'll have proper lip syncing for the line they're currently speaking.

* FakeActionPrologue: The game begins where Daffy Danger tries to defeat WesternAnimation/ElmerFudd. It turns out to be a pitch by Daffy Duck. It originally came from a deleted scene of the film.
