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. In the game, players can control over 200 characters 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).

The game is sponsored by McDonald's, Chuck E. Cheese's, M&M's, Kool-Aid, Nestle, Kellogg's, and General Mills; as such, Ronald McDonald and friends, Chuck E. Cheese, the M&M characters, the Kool-Aid Man, Farfel the Dog, Quicky the Bunny, and several Kellogg's and General Mills mascots 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 Paramount Pictures to use Betty Boop, from Marvel Comics to use the Green Goblin and Howard the Duck characters, from the Jim Henson Company to use Gonzo from The Muppets, from Lyrick Studios to use the Barney the Dinosaur character, 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, as do Smokey Bear and McGruff the Crime Dog, as the Ad Council allowed the use of both characters, Sugar Bear (allowed use by Post), and Cap'n Crunch, courtesy of Quaker Oats. Cartoonist Jim Davis also allowed the use of the Garfield and Odie characters, while characters from shows produced by Hanna-Barbera's chief animation rival, Filmation, including the Archie gang, He-Man,

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, the Archie gang, Betty Boop, Birdie the Early Bird, Buzz Lightyear, Captain Caveman, the Casper cast, the Cheshire Cat, Chuck E. Cheese, Cookie Monster, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Cow and Chicken, The Crypt Keeper, Dexter and Dee Dee, Emperor Zurg, Felix the Cat, The Genie, Gonzo, Green Goblin, Grimace, The Hamburglar, the He-Man cast, Hulk Hogan, Jiminy Cricket, The Joker, Katz, several Kellogg's and General Mills mascots, the Kool-Aid Man, the M&M characters, Stanley Ipkiss (as The Mask), Mojo Jojo, Mr. Mxyzptlk, The Pink Panther, Popeye, the Powerpuff Girls, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Ronald McDonald, Sheriff Woody, The Smurfs, Timon and Pumbaa, Tinker Bell, 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 (1930s' debut Goofy), 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, named "Orson", 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 actors Mary Kay Bergman and Don Messick.
