Mickey Mouse & Bugs Bunny's Kombat Showdown

Mickey Mouse & Bugs Bunny's Kombat Showdown is a 2000 fighting game developed and published by Acclaim Entertainment and Midway Games, produced by Disney Interactive and Warner Bros., and released on the PlayStation and Game Boy Color. It is a family-friendly, satirical take on the Mortal Kombat series of video games, replacing the graphic violence and gory imagery with a Looney Tunes-style brand of cartoonish violence and slapstick humor. The game is sponsored by McDonald's, Chuck E. Cheese's, and M&M's; as such, Ronald McDonald and friends, Chuck E. Cheese, and the M&M characters appear as unlockable characters. The producers also received permission from Universal Pictures to use their characters; Woody Woodpecker, Rocky and Bullwinkle, and, in his first appearance since 1957, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, from Marvel Comics to use the Green Goblin and Howard the Duck characters, from the Jim Henson Company to use Gonzo from The Muppets, and from the Children's Television Workshop to use Sesame Street's Cookie Monster. Hulk Hogan also appears as an unlockable character, due to the promotion at which he was employed at the time, World Championship Wrestling, airing its programming on TNT, which is owned by Time Warner Inc.

In the game, players can control around 60 characters from the worlds of Looney Tunes and the Mickey Mouse universe (including the DuckTales, Darkwing Duck, Animaniacs, Tiny Toon Adventures and Taz-Mania casts) as they battle through over 40 different environments. Each character has a unique, humorous battle minigame (for example, as a Fatality-esque move for Elmer Fudd, if one plays as Elmer against Daffy Duck, you can summon Bugs Bunny in a "Duck Season, Rabbit Season" routine that ends with Daffy getting shot in the face).

While most of the roster is unlocked from the start, there are several "Special Characters" that are unlocked when defeating them in boss battles: ALF, Barney Rubble, Birdie the Early Bird, Captain Caveman, Chuck E. Cheese, Cookie Monster, Cow and Chicken, Dexter and Dee Dee, Fred Flintstone, The Genie, Gonzo, Green Goblin, Grimace, The Hamburglar, Hulk Hogan, Jiminy Cricket, The Joker, Katz, the M&M characters, Stanley Ipkiss (as The Mask), Mojo Jojo, Mr. Mxyzptlk, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Ronald McDonald, Sebastian, Timon and Pumbaa, Tinker Bell, Tom and Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, Yogi and Boo-Boo Bear. Also unlockable are "classic" versions of several characters, including Barney Rubble (Barney with his earlier, higher-pitched voice), Bugs Bunny (the prototype "Happy Rabbit" from the 1938 Looney Tunes short Porky's Hare Hunt), Daffy Duck (the crazy screwball Daffy characterized by Tex Avery and Bob Clampett), Daisy Duck (Daisy from her debut in 1940's Mr. Duck Steps Out), Donald Duck (the early Donald from the 1930s'), Elmer Fudd ("Egghead" from the 1937 short Egghead Rides Again), Goofy (the everyman Goofy, "George Geef" from the 1950s'), Mickey Mouse (the early Mickey from the 1930s'), Minnie Mouse (the early Minnie from the 1930s'), Pete (the early Pete seen in the 1920s' and 1930s'), Porky Pig (the fat Porky from the 1930s'), and Tweety (early Tweety from the 1940s').

Mickey Mouse & Bugs Bunny's Kombat Showdown hit stores on July 27, 2000 (the 60th anniversary of Bugs Bunny's debut cartoon, A Wild Hare), and received positive reviews upon its release. The game was dedicated in memory to voice actress Mary Kay Bergman.
