* TropicalIslandAdventure: The Pirate Years, which is set entirely on tropical islands.

* HeliCritter: The "Ear-copter move". You can make Bugs' ears [[EverythingIsBetterWithSpinning spin really fast]], so you can land softly on something fragile or explosive without getting hurt. [[{{DownplayedTrope}} But you can't fly.]]

* StockDinosaurs: Used as living platforms in the Stone Age Era.

* HundredPercentCompletion: [[spoiler:If you beat the game leaving behind any clocks or golden carrots, you get a credits scene that depicts Nowhere. If you do collect all of them, though, the credits scene shows Pismo Beach.]]

** The Stone Age era is a reference to 1958's ''Pre-Hysterical Hare'' which featured a Caveman Elmer Fudd.
** The Pirate Years is a call back to Yosemite Sam's roles as a pirate in shorts like ''Buccaneer Bunny'' and ''Captain Hareblower''.
** The Medieval Age features call backs to ''WesternAnimation/RabbitHood'', ''Knighty Knight Bugs'', and ''Knight-mare Hare'', as well as Bugs' shorts involving Witch Hazel, like ''Broomstick Bunny'' and ''A Witch's Tangled Hare''. Robin Duck also appears, from ''WesternAnimation/RobinHoodDaffy''.
** The 1930s features call back to shorts like ''Bugs N Thugs'', ''Bugsy And Mugsy'', and ''The Unmentionables''.

** The Dimension X levels are a call back to some Bugs/Marvin shorts like ''Hare Way To The Stars''. One of the levels features Planet X from ''WesternAnimation/DuckDodgersInTheTwentyFourthAndAHalfCentury''.
** The aforementioned ''Knight-mare Hare'' gets referenced several times, since it's the cartoon that Merlin originated from. Merlin turning Bugs into a pig, Bugs's "discovered the penicillin" line, and the game's ending are all taken from the short. Its title card is also used for the level "The Carrot-Henge Mystery".

* TheUnfought: {{Downplayed}} with Witch Hazel, who seems to be the BigBad of the Medieval Period, but she is never fought as an actual boss. You simply deal with her by just dropping a bridge on her or tricking her into letting an anvil fall on her. Instead, you get to fight two guard as bosses, even though they are just a PaletteSwap of the other guards that appear as mooks.

** The king mooks in the Medieval Period whenever they smash you with their mallets.

* YouAllLookFamiliar: Most of the mooks. Applies to pirates, kings, knights, cavemen, security guards, and the bird-like aliens (Instant Martians).

* HundredPercentCompletion: [[spoiler:If you beat the game leaving behind any clocks or golden carrots, you get a credits scene that depicts Nowhere. If you do get collect all of them, though, the credits scene shows Pismo Beach.]]

* CaptainObvious: In the level selecting area of the Pirate Years, there is a sign that states youf are zero kilometers away from "here".

* GottaCatchThemAll: The Alarm Clock symbols.

Bugs Bunny, once again [[WrongTurnAtAlbuquerque taking a wrong turn at Albuquerque]], stumbles into a warehouse where he mistakes a TimeMachine for a carrot juice dispenser. He accidentally activates it, putting him in a time era known as Nowhere. There, he meets a [[MrExposition sorcerer named Merlin]] where he is guided to collect clock symbols and golden carrots to go back to the present.

* YouALLLookFamiliar: Most of the mooks. Applies to pirates, kings, knights, cavemen, security guards, and the bird-like aliens (Instant Martians).

* MacGuffin: The Alarm Clock symbols.

* TimeTravel: As expected from the [[CaptainObvious title]], Bugs travels through Nowhere, the Stone Age, the Pirate Years, the Medieval Period, the 1930s and Dimension X (presumably the Future), collecting clock symbols to return to the Present.

* BonusLevel: There's a total of three ("Rabbit of Duck Season?", "La Corrida", and "Downhill Duck"). Each is inspired by a ''Looney Tunes'' short seperate from the time travel theme, they contain one clock each, and they're unlocked with golden carrots. Unlike other levels, they have to be opened up manually by walking up to them with enough golden carrots.

** The aforementioned ''Knight-mare Hare'' gets referenced several times, since it's the cartoon that Merlin originated from. Merlin turning Bugs into a pig, Bugs's "invented the penicillin" line, and the game's ending are all taken from the short. Its title card is also used for the level "The Carrot-Henge Mystery"

It received a 2000 follow-up in the form of ''[[VideoGame/BugsBunnyAndTazTimeBusters Bugs Bunny & Taz: Time Busters]]''.

* AnvilOnHead: Another unsurprising trope for a Looney Tunes game. Anvil's shadows appear occasionally, and stepping on them obviously promps them to fall. Also happens with safes, carrot juice cans or anchors, depending on the level you're in. Although technically obstacles, they can be used to reach high objects or to defeat some enemies.

* BlockPuzzle: There are several puzzles through the game that involve pushing blocks around and/or stacking them on top of each other. They might take some time to complete because Bugs gets signficantly slowed down when he's pushing or carrying heavy items. These puzzles usually involve crates, stones or safes, depending on the era you're in.

* BrokenBridge: There are several areas in the levels that can only be acessed when Bugs learns some magical spells (activated by saying the magic words on specific tiles, or by playing music), usually because they're too high, or because there's something blocking the way. Since those spells are taught by Merlin in the many levels of the Medieval Period, and each level requires a certain amount of clocks to be unlocked, you will often have to replay a level to either complete or even access another one.
** There is a level in the Pirate Years that is technically unlocked early in the game with only 11 clocks, but it's still inaccessible because of the skull and crossbones blocking the way. [[spoiler:To acess it, you have to obtain the super jump spell first in order to reach wheel that lowers the skull and crossbones' mouth, allowing you to enter it. That spell is learned first level in the Medieval Period, which is only accessible after 30 clocks]].
* BullfightBoss: You get to fight an actual bull in "La Corrida" in the 1930s.

** The Medieval Age features call backs to ''WesternAnimation/RabbitHood'', ''Knighty Knight Bugs'', ''Knight-Mare Hare'', as well as Bugs' shorts involving Witch Hazel, like ''Broomstick Bunny'' and ''A Witch's Tangled Hare''. Robin Duck also appears, from ''WesternAnimation/RobinHoodDaffy''.
** The 1930's features call back to shorts like ''Bugs N Thugs'', ''Bugsy And Mugsy'', and ''The Unmentionables''.

* CaptainObvious: In the level selecting area of the Pirate Years, there is a sign that states your are zero kilometers away from "here".

* ExplodingBarrels: There are many barrels in the game that you have to explode using torches (so they act like a time bomb), and the enemies like to throw these at you as well (in that case they instatly explode). There are also a few "TNT boxes" through the game.

* FingerSnapLighter: Bugs does this trick in front of Merlin, who unsucessfully tries to copy it. (A ShoutOut to the short "Knight-mare Hare".)

* HeliCritter: The "Ear-copter move". You can make Bugs' ears [[EverythingIsBetterWithSpinning spin really fast]], so you can land softly on something fragile or explosive without getting hurt. [[{{Downplayed}} But you can't fly.]]

* LifeMeter: Bugs' life bar consists of three carrots. Most of the enemies/obstacles take away half of a carrot, but some take a full one. [[HeartContainer Eating regular carrots restore your energy.]]

** When you hit a switch, spin a ship's wheel or press a button, a brief cutscene will show you where the effects of the action occured.

* OffscreenTeleportation: Bugs does this in a cutscene where Witch Hazel (thinks she) catches him in a bowl. Many objects do this too if you dispose them to avoid the game from becoming {{Unwinnable}}, but in some cases [[{{averted}} you can actually see them falling from the ground or reappering in a cloud of smoke]].

* RemixedLevel: In the Stone Age era, "Magic Hare Blower" is a remake of "Wabbit on the Run", with a few different items, enemies, and some previously unreachable areas becoming accessible, as well as occuring at nighttime instead of daytime.

* TimeBomb: {{Downplayed}}.
** In ""Witch" Way to Albuquerque?", "Downhill Duck" and "The Conquest of Planet X", you have to finish the level or a segment of it within a certain time limit, otherwise you have to start over, which isn't a big deal in a game with unlimited lives.
** There are also literal time bombs in "The Big Bank Withdrawal", but it's pretty easy to get away from them in time.

* YouALLLookFamiliar: Most of the mooks. Applies to pirates, kings, knights, cavemen, security guards, and the bird-like aliens(Instant Martians).
