History VideoGame / TinyToonAdventuresDefendersOfTheUniverse

''Tiny Toon Adventures: Defenders of the Universe'' is a FightingGame that was being developed by Creator/{{Treasure}} and published by Conspiracy Entertainment for the UsefulNotes/Playstation2 and was intended for release in mid-2002, with a UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube version seemingly also being in the works due to the game being listed in publication for Magazine/NintendoPower. However, despite development of the game being finished and it getting all the way to having an ESRB rating, box art and retail listings, it was cancelled for unknown reasons. A ROM of the game was eventually leaked online in February 25th, 2009 by a member of the Lost Levels internet forum, however, and is fully playable and completable.

This game is notable for having the entire surviving cast of the show return to reprise their roles as the characters, with Creator/CharlieAdler returning to voice Buster Bunny for the first time since the third season of show, and the final time Creator/JoeAlaskey would voice Plucky Duck before his death. Hamton, who's voice actor, Creator/DonMessick, passed away before the game, is instead voiced by Creator/BillyWest in it. This game was also the final piece of ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' media produced before ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonsLooniversity'' was announced. In terms of gameplay, the game plays similarly to ''VideoGame/RakugakiShowtime'', a Japanese-exclusive [=PS1=] fighting game that was also developed by Treasure. The player starts out with Buster, Babs, Plucky and Hamton, but as they progress through the Adventure Mode of the game and do several playthroughs, they'll unlock more and more characters to play as, including most of the main cast of the show (yes, that includes Fifi), Maximus Flush, and several mooks, though it's worth noting that playing as anybody other than the main four in Adventure Mode will automatically skip most of the cutscenes. Each character can grab and throw objects and enemies as their main form of attack (with the exception of the flying characters, who instead shoot lasers), and have their own special move that can be used at will.

* FragileSpeedster: Furrball, who's health is on the lower end, but is very fast, with his special making him even faster at the cost of some of his health.
* FreezeRay: The Slug Captain and Evil Max have them as their specials (or part of it in the latter's case), it being in an exclusive attack for the latter that his "good" version doesn't have.

* GroundPound: Hamton's special is a homing butt stomp, that can only be avoided by guarding at the right time or something getting between him and his target. The Gremloids also have a variant of this with their weapons.
* GuideDangIt: Getting the good ending is this, as it requires finding specific power-ups hidden throughout the game with a certain amount of coins required to obtain. Even if you have noticed them and grabbed them, you'd likely be unaware that they are required to get the good ending. These items are a compass, which costs 2500$ and will appear on the screen and point you to the exit of each part of the game, meat, which costs 2000$ and will give you a full heal, a looking glass, which costs 5000$ and will show you the health of enemies above their heads, and finally a stone WB logo, which costs a whopping 10000$ and permanently reduces the damage you take from enemies. After that, Sweetie Bird Eggs will appear where these items normally would be if you missed them at spots earlier in the game, which aren't required for the good ending, but will give you an extra continue for 5000$. Lampshaded by Babs and Hamton.

* JokeCharacter: The Flying Gunner, which is slow, has health so low that enemies can kill it by looking at it funny, no guard or dash, a very slow-firing singular laser as it's normal attack, and bombs as it's special that, while they can do some damage, take a few seconds to reach the ground, so enemies can easily get out of the way of them before they hit.

* BeatingADeadPlayer: Bosses in Adventure Mode who leave bodies or players in Versus Mode can still be hit by attacks when lying on the ground after being defeated.

* BonusBoss: Evil Max, who can only be fought if you obtain specific power-ups hidden through the game. Defeating him gives you infinite money raining from the ceiling of his room (the timer is still ticking, though), and the good ending after you defeat Maximus Flush for the second time.

** Fifi has Egyptians that will come out of the sphinx in the back of the arena to assist her, and the sphinx itself will occasionally fire lasers at you.

* LoneWolfBoss: Fifi and Rama-Lama-Ding-Dong are this, as they aren't aligned with Evil Max, instead fighting the main four for Shirley to try to stop her prediction of Earth being doomed from them helping the Bullions coming true.

* VideoGameCaringPotential: On the way from escaping Maximus Flush's prison, you'll see Fifi, Shirley, Furrball, Dizzy, Elmyra and a Hobo locked in cells. While the time limit is strict, you can collect the keys in the room and free them before you escape, and they'll give you power-ups in return.

* DarthVaderClone: Maximus Flush, who wears an outfit closely resembling Darth Vader's iconic armor, is TheDragon to Evil Max and leads an army known as the Drizzletroopers, who themselves resemble Stormtroopers.

* CrueltyIsTheOnlyOption: At the beginning of the pyramid level, you are forced to fight and defeat Fifi, who is only trying to stop the main four from making a serious mistake as she believes Shirley's prediction to be true. Even though Babs (her best friend) and Hamton (her boyfriend) are present, they don't even try to talk her out of it.

* VocalEvolution: Compared to ''Toonenstein - Dare to Scare''[[note]] The first game to feature Billy West voicing Hamton.[[/note]], Hamton sounds less congested and more upbeat in the way he talks.
