Tiny Toon Adventures 2: Trouble in Wackyland (NES) Playthrough

A playthrough of Konami's 1993 license-based action game for the NES, Tiny Toon Adventures 2: Trouble in Wackyland.
Coming two years after the first hit Tiny Toons NES game ( • Tiny Toon Adventures (... ), Trouble in Wackyland brings the after-school cartoon stars back for one last hurrah on Nintendo's 8-bit console.
Construction has just wrapped on Wackyland, a brand new amusement park in Acme Acres. The news has everyone abuzz, so Buster Bunny eagerly accepts when he receives a letter from a "secret admirer" inviting the Tiny Toon crew to check it out.
Once they get to the park, the guys are given ten tickets that they can spend on the rides, but if they want to see park's star attraction, the Haunted House, they'll have to earn four gold tickets.
These gold tickets are won by "completing" (read: surviving) the park's four other rides:
Babs Bunny goes for the rollercoaster. She has to flip the cart around the track to avoid being violently maimed by physics. And brick walls.
Plucky Duck takes the bumper cars. There are three stages, and in each, Plucky has to bash the other players into the giant holes that litter the track.
Hamton picks the western-themed train. He has to run across the roof of the train while fighting the bad guys to make it to the engine car.
Furrball heads over to the log ride, dodging hazards as he tries to avoid falling in the water.
And once the four regular rides have been conquered, Buster himself heads to the final stage, the haunted house, with the four gold tickets in hand.
Beyond the characters, Trouble in Wackyland doesn’t share much in common with the first game. The haunted house stage is the only part of the game that plays like a hop-and-bop platformer. This time around, most of the action is on rails. Literally.
The rollercoaster, train, and log ride stages are autoscrolling affairs that fling wave after wave of enemies and objects at you, while the bumper cars feel more like a bonus-style mini-game. The haunted house is more freeform, but it takes the form of a giant maze filled with tricky jumps.
The game looks and sounds great - the colorful backdrops are a big improvement over the first game's, and the upbeat music is fun and catchy in the familiar Konami style.
The gameplay doesn’t manage capture the spirit and fun of the show as well as the first game, though. It's a pretty mixed bag, overall.
The difficulty level is all over the place - the train and log stages are insultingly easy, the bumper cars rely on luck as much as skill, and the rollercoaster stage is one of the most obnoxious, infuriatingly difficult experiences that I've come across in an old-school Konami game. The haunted house is no cakewalk, either.
As short as the game is - about half the length of the original - it feels like the rollercoaster and haunted house were made so difficult in order to artificially extend its length, and I'd be amazed if any kid managed to finish it without cheating. It's a choice that cheapens the entire experience, and it sucks most of the fun out of this adventure.
It's too bad, because this sequel is the sole black mark on what was an otherwise great lineup of Tiny Toons games by Konami in the early 90s.

the rollercoaster stage (babs stage) is pure hell

At least Babs' antics are cute, so that makes it more endurable.

[@emreekinci4258]

huh, it was the easiest stage for me lol

If only Tiny Toon 2's gameplay could match its fantastic presentation!

The first game is better overall, but I think that *this* game looks better graphically.

[@AJR-zg2py]

To this day that fucking rollercoaster level gives me gaming PTSD. Like a Vietnam veteran hearing a helicopter in the distance, seeing Babs on that platform still fills me with a rage blazing hotter than a thousand suns lol

[@mrmusickhimself]

Whenever I play this game, I always get to the roller coaster stage, and then I stop playing.

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

One of THE best-looking NES games! The sprites are so full of personality, classic Konami. It's like the characters came right out of the show. I love this game, while it may not be a full-on platformer like the first one, I still dig the variety in Wackyland's attractions while you play as each Tiny Toon. As always, the soundtrack is fantastic as well, really hitting my nostalgia for the cartoon, and 90s childhood bliss.

[@edwardgaines6561]

Probably the only Tiny Toons where you can, partially, play as Babs Bunny.

[@miamimagicians]

I agree that was funny and seriously underrated

[@ScytheDuster]

I remember dreading the bumper car stage the most, as a kid. I don't remember why I had so much trouble with it.

[@randy7894]

Konami. Is there anything that sparked more joy in the 80's and 90's? I don't think so.

Capcom, Natsume, Sunsoft...

The roller coaster level is the turbo tunnel of tiny toons 2 its hell 👍🏻.

[@Delcat42]

Your mastery of these boards makes it look so easy! I tried this in ROM form and it is DEFINITELY not. I love the little flourishes you do with the characters like looking up at the bats or sliding into home, you really make them come alive!

[@MatthewTheWolf2029]

A short but sweet game based on an early 90s cartoon.

[@egfelixdcg]

I loved this game as a kid. I can confirm that I beat it when I was 11, in 1998 (I first played it in 1994, when I was 7). All levels were very difficult but I think the high visual appeal and intrigue of what would come next kept me going. I've seen different people on the internet pointing out the particular difficulty of Babs' level. It was the case for me too, but I've played the game so much that even nowadays I go through the Babs level without losing one hearth. i'm kind of in an automatic mode. Bad thing is that once you memorize it, it's difficult to find different ways to play it, and it kind of feels like always the same thing, but you can still have some fun pressing the different buttons and d-pad to see Babs' different fun poses

[@devonwilliams5738]

Difficulty is incredibly lopsided, but I liked it overall. It served well as my NES game for the year.

[@professors84]

This is definitely a game I would describe as less than the sum of its parts

[@NintendoComplete]

You nailed it. That's exactly how I felt about it too.

[@miamimagicians]

Tiny Toon adventures is one of the most underrated cartoons

[@tryffel8]

I actully likjed this better then the first game. Yes, the rollercoaster was hard, but its really all about memorize some parts, and after that, i find this game easier then the first game. Exelent graphics, music and variation.

[@christopherthibeault7502]

The rollercoaster sequence predates the modern definition of "quick-time event".

[@Invidente7]

Dragon's lair created QTEs.

[@christopherthibeault7502]

@@Invidente7 True, but I don't think they called it that back then; "QTE" was a mid-2,000's term to describe games like Shenmue.

[@AngryCalvin]

Missed some of these late NES titles. PC and 16 bit gaming was taking over and Doom came out. Of course I didn't miss Kirby or Mighty Final Fight which were my last rentals. Really liked the first game not expecting to. But it's Konami so it's really good. Forget it had a sequel.

[@superstaramyrosethehardcoreyt]

Glorious video.

Tiny Toon Adventures 2: Trouble in Wackyland for the NES, from spring 1993 (the copyright said 1992), is based on the Amblin Entertainment/Warner Bros. animated TV series Tiny Toon Adventures, off of Fox Kids in the early 90's during the show's 3rd season (1992-93).

This game is way too short for a sequel! That last stage, the funhouse, should have been divided into 4 separate stages, like a Wily Castle! Oh well, at least Konami got good mileage out of the Tiny Toon license!

[@FlyingDuckMan360]

@Edward Gaines I'd love for Konami to release all ten of their Tiny Toon Adventures video games in a compilation for modern consoles similar to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, especially if the latter sells well enough. It would make great tie-in merchandise for the Tiny Toons Looniversity reboot.

It looks like a 16 bits game demake and it would explain why the graphics is much better compared to the previous games released on the NES.

It's a late release and they had a talented staff with a ton of experience with the hardware.

[@piyushrane7413]

I completed this game by only playing the train one 😅😅

[@Trexmaster12]

Interesting that they didn't focused as much on the platforming aspect of the game than its side-scrolling mechanism. The time limit, to me it seems, has been lengthened considerably. Somewhat shorter, somehow more dynamic & intense, and more colourful.

[@AJR-zg2py]

They were probably on a much shorter schedule to get this NES game out the door - because this was released over a year after the SNES was released... and NES game sales were really starting to dry up. Konami probably had a contract to make two NES games and needed a concept that wouldn't take up as much development time just to get this one out the door faster to fulfil their obligations.

[@Dorian_Scott]

One of the only two games on the Famicom that uses the VRC7 chip, but doesn't enhance the audio like in Lagrange Point.

The Famicom version did, but iirc the NES version is using a standard MMC3.
