Daffy Duck in Hollywood is a platform game released for the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Master System, and Sega Game Gear in 1995, starring the Looney Tunes character Daffy Duck.
Contents
Story
The mad Professor Duck Brain has stolen Yosemite Sam's Golden Movie Awards. He is holding them for a million dollar ransom and has left a trail of dynamite to deter anyone from pursuing him. Sam calls upon Daffy Duck to recover his awards and deal with the mad professor and his henchmen.
Gameplay
Mega Drive version
The game is a platformer starring Daffy Duck, who explores levels based on movie genres. Daffy must collect all bundles of dynamite to unlock the next section of the level and eventually the exit. Each section is blocked off by a wall; if Daffy stands next to the wall without collecting all of the dynamite, an arrow points him back the way he came. When he collects all of the dynamite, the game alerts him "GO!" to notify him that the blocker is unlocked. There are three difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, and Hard). Daffy must find all of Yosemite Sam's Golden Movie Awards hidden in the levels to get the good ending.
Daffy walks with or , runs by holding with or , and crawls with or . Many items, including bundles of dynamite, are in hidden rooms accessible only by crawling. He ducks with and jumps with . He can jump farther while running. Daffy's weapon of choice is a bubble cannon to shoot enemies, which he fires with . It shoots a bubble about half the width of the screen before it dissipates. The bubble gun traps enemies in bubbles, which Daffy can pop by touching. Enemies return if Daffy does not pop their bubbles.
Daffy has three health points. When he loses all three health points, he can take one more hit before he loses a life. He also loses a life if time runs out. He restarts the level at the beginning of the last section if he has extra lives left. Time is replenished at the start of each section. Daffy is also ambushed in various cartoonish ways if he stands idle for too long, which also costs him a life. The game ends if Daffy runs out of lives, but it can be continued if the player earns a continue.
Items
Items bubble up from bubbles in the ground. Upgrades for the bubble gun last until the end of the level.
Levels
Each world is named after a Daffy Duck cartoon and consists of three levels. The first two worlds are initially available; the player can choose to play any of the first six levels in any order. After completing all of the levels, Daffy faces a boss, which unlocks another two worlds, whose levels can again be played in any order. Daffy faces another boss after completing these levels, which unlocks the final two worlds.

Bonus level
Daffy enters a bonus level if he finds a Bonus Token in a level. The bonus level is a single screen with no scrolling where Daffy has ten seconds to collect items for bonus points.
Master System and Game Gear versions
The game is a platformer where the player controls Daffy Duck. Every level is broken into multiple sections, divided by a blocker wall. Daffy must use his bubble gun to capture and pop all of the enemies in one section before he can move through the blocker into the next one. Otherwise, an arrow appears pointing Daffy away when he approaches the blocker. There are three difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, and Hard). To get the good ending, Daffy must find all of the Golden Cartoon Awards hidden in the levels and complete the game on Hard difficulty.
Daffy walks with or and runs by holding while walking. He ducks with and jumps with . He can jump farther while running. Daffy is armed with a bubble gun, which he fires with . It shoots bubbles partway across the screen that ensconce enemies in bubbles, then Daffy can pop them by touching them. If Daffy does not pop the bubbles, the enemies eventually recover. Some enemies cannot be defeated and can only be avoided. Daffy automatically grabs onto hooks or the bottoms of some platforms. He can move along the bottom of these platforms with or , pull himself up with +, or climb back down with +.
Daffy loses a life if he takes a single hit from an enemy or hazard. He restarts the level at the beginning of the last section if he has extra lives remaining. Otherwise, the game ends; it can only be continued if the player has gotten a continue. Daffy can find fairies that protect him from a hit. He gains extra lives at 1, 5, 20, 50, and 90 million points.
Items
Bubbles appear throughout the levels, and touching them causes an item to rise in a big bubble for Daffy to catch. Bubble gun upgrades last until the end of the level, and multiple upgrades can be in effect at once.
Levels
The game is divided into three "stages." Each stage contains two "sets" (worlds), which each consist of three "scenes" (levels). On each stage, the player can choose to play any of the six scenes in any order. Daffy fights a boss and moves on to the next stage after every scene has been completed in the current stage. This version of the game has no boss fights and no bonus levels.
