Bucky O'Hare

This video game is based on the cartoon television series Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars, licensed by Hasbro, Inc. Although it is generally categorized as a scrolling combat game with a Final Fight-like landscape, the character is also armed with a laser gun, which introduces elements of a scrolling shooter. However, if the character is in close proximity to an opponent, it attacks with its fists - a precursor to the character in Metal Slug, who uses knives in close combat. Similar to the animated series, Bucky O'Hare is colorfully animated and voice actors from the series have been hired for the game's cutscenes. The player chooses from five protagonists: Bucky O'Hare, the heroic rabbit captain of the spaceship Righteous Indignation; Jenny, an "Aldebaran cat" and telepath; Dead-Eye Duck, a four-armed mallard; Willy, a child from Earth who has replaced her engineer, and Blinky, a one-eyed android. As in the TV series, the characters must stop the Toad Empire from invading alien planets and enslaving their peoples. To do this, they must shoot their way through an army of brainwashed Toads to destroy their evil leader, a computer program called "Complex", and unleash the "Interplanetary Life Force". Enemies include Al Negator, Toadborg, Total Terror Toad, a "Cyborg Spider", the various types of Toad Storm Troopers, the Toads' Air Marshall and "Complex-2-Go", who has previously appeared in the comics and animated series.
