Version 1.0 (9/29/01): The first version of this FAQ. It's complete for the
most part, since there's not much of anything to cover in this game anyway. I
_might_ be missing an item or two, but if I find any I did in fact miss, I'll
update!

-= 2. Introduction -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This party game for the Gameboy Advance is obviously based on the popular
Looney Tunes characters. This is the first party-genre game for the portable
system, and personally, it sucks. I'm only writing this guide because noone
else would! But anyway, the object of the game is to collect 5 gems scattered
throughout the large world board to prevent Tweety from turning to stone (how
corny of a story that is). You play mini-games, collect items, and move
around the board as you try to collect the aforementioned gems. The board is
huge and is quite boring, as is this game, so only play if you're just dying
to play a GBA party game; otherwise leave this one alone!

==========
Characters
==========
Sylvester
Bugs Bunny
Daffy Duck
Yosemite Sam
Marc Antony
Porky Pork
The above 6 are the playable characters you can choose to play as in this
game. There is no real difference between each character, so just pick
whichever one you want to play with.
========
Overview
========
There is one large board map and several sub-maps when you enter cities. You
and up to 3 other computer controlled characters must move along the map by
drawing a card, then move that many spaces. There are 5 gems scattered around
to collect, and whoever collects all 5 first wins. Along the way, you can
come across other characters and play mini-games, buy items from the Shop,
and so on. Read in the following sections for more information on the items
and mini-games in this game. You must be quick to get through here because
every few turns, Tweety turns more and more into stone. If Tweety totally
turns to stone, the game is over.
=============
In-Game Menus
=============
While playing the game, there are 5 icons on the left of the screen, each
opening up into a different menu screen. Here's a quick rundown of what each
icon represents and their functions (starting from the top):
Cards: Press A to shuffle the card deck; press again to choose a card and
move that many spaces on the board.
Items: View your current inventory, or pick an item to use.
Routes: Use this to move the cursor along the map; this is useful in planning
a path towards a certain location.
System: Change the speed of the computer players, and choose whether or not
you wish to watch mini-games between computer-only players.
Guide: Use this to get information about your current location.
==========
Mini-Games
==========
There are two types of mini-games that are played in this game: regular mini-
games and match games. You play a regular mini-game to win Character Points
(use these to buy items) if you land on a red space on the map. To play a
Match Game, you must land on a space that another character is occupying (you
both must have a gem to play). Whoever wins the Match Game can take one of
the loser's gems. Read the Mini-Games section of this guide for a list of all
the mini-games played in this game.
