Tiny Toon Adventures 2: Trouble in Wackyland

In Tiny Toon Adventures 2, Buster and his friends get a mysterious invitation to a new amusement park. You can probably guess the rest of the story from here.

Don't be fooled by the English title: the actual location of Wackyland is nowhere to be found in this game.

Level Select#

left The Game Genie codes ZIKGUSPG + LAXGNIIA enable a level select in place of the title screen in the Japanese version of the game. Press Up or Down to change the stage number, and Left or Right to change the sublevel (note that some stages don't have sublevels, and attempting to enter them will cause the game to crash). Press B to switch between "ON" or "NO", which enables or disables invulnerability, respectively. This screen was removed in all other versions of the game.

Unused Graphics#

Pre-Ride Screen#

At one point, the game would have displayed the controls for each ride before it starts. The final game merely gives a short description of the ride.

Graphics	Mockup

Graphics for an NES controller are also loaded on this screen. Labels for the controls would have been listed near the controller, with lines pointing to the D-Pad and buttons. The buttons are separate sprites that would have been overlaid on the controller graphic. Only the grey palette for the controller still exists.

Oddly, despite the game first releasing in Japan, no Famicom variant of the graphic exists.

Pause#

Graphics for an unused pause screen featuring Calamity Coyote. The final game doesn't display anything unique while the game is paused. As with the NES controller above, it would have consisted of a background image with sprite overlays to allow for more colors. No related tilemaps, palettes, or animation data have yet been found.

Title Screen#

The ID number that appears on the front of the Japanese Famicom cartridge, "RV051", also appears at the bottom of one of the title screen graphics banks in that version. The US and European versions both contain "RD051", which does not appear on either cartridge.

Regional Differences#

Title Screen#

Japan	US/Europe

With a different title comes a different logo, now featuring Buster and Babs. The series' logo was also redrawn slightly.

Map Screen#

Japan	US/Europe

The theme park the game takes place in is referred to as Montana Land in the Japanese version, since Montana Max built it and all. The international version instead inexplicably refers to it as Wackyland, Gogo Dodo's homeland from the show (which was featured as a stage in the previous NES game), even though it's clearly not. Lil' Sneezer, his textbox and the black bar were also moved down slightly.
