History VideoGame / BugsBunnyLostInTime

* UnEvilLaugh:

* HubLevel: There is a general area where you can enter any era you've unlocked so far, accessible through the TimeMachine, as well as one for each era, where you can enter levels via rabbit holes. This allows you to freely navigate through any level of any time period, as long as yo've unlocked them by collecting enough clocks (or golden carrots for bonus levels). This is necessary because several levels have to be played more than once for you to complete the game.

* CatchAndReturn: Some of the recurring pirate enemies in The Pirate Years, as well as Rocky and Mugsy in The 1930s, attack you using bombs, but you can retaliate by catching the bombs and throwing them back.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In "Vort "X" Room", Marvin attacks you with Instant Martians, but you defeat him by throwing them back at him before they hatch.

* BossOnlyLevel: There are a few. Usually there's only one clock in them.

** There are also parts in Dimension X where the way is blocked by bird-like aliens, and you have to dodge the robots' freezing shots, so that they hit the aliens instead, allowing you to shatter them afterwards.

* LiterallyShatteredLives: How you get rid of the bird-like aliens in Dimension X that are blocking your way.

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

WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, 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.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Merlin might be a creepy and evil-looking sorcerer, but he willingly helps Bugs to return to Present time, teaching him some magical tricks in the way.

* AdaptationalHeroism: In his debut cartoon, Merlin is jerk who messes with Bugs for no real reason, but here, while a bit mischievous, he's amazingly selfless and really goes out of his way to help Bugs.

* InSeriesNickname: Bugs only refers to Merlin as "Moyle". In return, he refers to Bugs as "travel hare", "time traveler", or, just like almost every other talking NPC, "rabbit".

* EternalEngine: "The Carrot Factory" in the 1930s, and probably the most difficult level in the entire game.

* SimonSaysMiniGame: There are a few across the game. One of them requires you to watch the cutscene intro in which Yosemite Sam performs the combination first.

** Some of the crabs in "Follow the Red Pirate Road".

--> '''Merlin:''' Nice try, but you haven't found any clocks! How do you expect to go home this way?

* HubLevel: There is general area where you can enter any era you've unlocked so far, accessible through the TimeMachine, as well as one for each era, where you can enter levels via rabbit holes. This allows you to freely navigate through any level of any time period, as long as yo've unlocked them by collecting enough clocks (or golden carrots for bonus levels). This is necessary because several levels have to be played more than once for you to complete the game.
* IdleAnimation: Standing still prompts Bugs to scratch his head, eat an unlimited amount of carrots, and go into what appears to be a "thinking position". If he's holding a lightweight item, like a pearl or an apple, he will play with while stepping his left foot. Averted for when he's climbing a pole/chain.

** Question/exclamation marks appear when the game want you to notice something. Pressing the "action" button will either display a message, make you interact with a character, or activate a device.

* 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 [[{{AvertedTrope}} you can actually see them falling from the ground or reappearing in a cloud of smoke]].

* AdaptationalHeroism: In his debut cartoon Merlin was jerk who messes with Bugs for no real reason, here he is bit mischievous but is otherwise amazingly selfless and really goes out of his way to help Bugs.

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Done with chest in the Pirate Years. Usually, orange chests have regular carrots, gray and yellow chests have golden carrots, and blue chests have clocks. Averted for pirates, wheels and torches, which can be in any chest.

* ForcedTutorial: Nowhere, the first Era in the game (and the only one with no levels). It's [[JustifiedTutorial justified]], though, since Nowhere is integrated as part of the plot. It's where Bugs meets Merlin, where the first clock symbol is obtained, and where the {{exposition}} takes place.

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

* HubLevel: There is general area where you can enter any era you've unlocked so far, accessible through the time machine, as well as one for each era, where you can enter levels via rabbit holes. This allows you to freely navigate through any level of any time period, as long as yo've unlocked them by collecting enough clocks (or golden carrots for bonus levels). This is necessary because several levels have to be played more than once for you to complete the game.

** While not as ubiquitous, golden carrots can also be found floating in places for no apparent reason.
** {{Downplayed}} with clocks and ACME boxes because they're usually well hidden, but some can still be found in pretty convenient locations (even in the Stone Age era despite them technically being man-made)

* CameraScrew: Good luck dealing with the camera in this game.

-->'''Merlin:''' Bounce on some enemies to reach inaccessible objects or ground!

* WarpWhistle: There is one for the eras, accessible through the time machine, and another one for each era, where you can enter levels via rabbit holes. This allows you to freely navigate through any level of any time period, as long as you have unlocked them by collecting enough clocks (or golden carrots for bonus levels). This is necessary because several levels have to be played more than once for you to complete the game.

* TemporaryPlatform: Bugs needs to tiptoe through several kinds of platforms in order to cross them, otherwise they crumble. They might made of planks, unstable rocks, or [[ACrackInTheIce ice]].

* BigBad: 5 in each era:

** Carrots are everywhere, either planted (even inside buldings or in space!) or just casually floating around.

-->'''Merlin:''' "Bounce on some enemies to reach inaccessible objects or ground!".

** Destroy a snowman, and you might get carrots, golden carrots, and/or Daffy Duck.

* InvisibleWall: Don't even think of jumping inside Merlin's counter in his castles. Although he ''is'' a sorcerer.

* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Obvious lethal damage will result in only half or very rarely a full "carrot" being deducted from your life bar. Consequently, touching a cactus, being hit by a snowball or being snapped by a crab does just as much damage as getting shot by a bullet or being smashed by a falling anvil, a huge boulder, or a wrecking ball. Doing those things twice equals falling into a lava pit or receiving a 30,000 volt discharge.

* PortalNetwork: This is how levels in Dimension X work. To some extent, the entire game can be seen as this.

'''Announcer''': Bugs Bunny, on PlayStation. ''(Bugs presses a button on the controller, activating an anvil)''\\

* TitleDrop:

** Explosive barrels are conveniently placed close torches, and to whatever enemy/treasure chest/rock you have to explode to proceed.

* IncrediblyObviousBomb: Rocky, Mugsy, and the pirates the Pirate Age use very obvious explosives. The same aplies to the time bombs in "The Big Bank Withdrawal".

* TemporaryPlatform: Bugs needs to tiptoe through several kinds of platforms in order to cross them, otherwise they crumble. They might made of planks, unstable rocks, or [[ACrackInTheIce ice]].

** Explosive barrels are conveniently placed close to a torch, and to whatever enemy/treasure chest/rock you have to explode to proceed.

* IncrediblyObviousBomb: It's not like Rocky, Mugsy or any of the pirates want to waste their precious time disguising any explosives. The same aplies to the time bombs in "The Big Bank Withdrawal".

* RopeBridge: While there are no bridges literally made of ropes, many of them require you to tiptoe for you to cross them. They might made of planks, unstable rocks, or [[ACrackInTheIce ice]].
