Gameplay

Buster Bunny is having bad dreams and he aims to stop them. This game features a "partner system" that allows players to team up with other characters. The side-scrolling action features a unique take on fighting, allowing combos and more. The partners include:

Legacy

In 2005, a North American version of the game began popping up on eBay and at small retailers, published by Treasure-regular Conspiracy Entertainment as Tiny Toon Adventures: Scary Dreams. Aside from the title screens and legal information, it was virtually unchanged from the European version of the game. According to information on the box, copies of the game appear to have been produced in 2002 and shelved between then and the time it surfaced. Only a few copies of this version made it to the market.

Another game (also developed by Treasure under the supervision of Hitmaker), Astro Boy: Omega Factor , used some gameplay ideas from this game, particularly regarding the way enemies could be knocked into each other.

Buster's Bad Dream is the last Tiny Toons game to be developed and published. The next game in the series, Tiny Toon Adventures: Defenders of the Universe , was to be released in 2002, but was cancelled despite its development being completed.

"Jack and the Beanstalk" is an English fairy tale. It appeared as "The Story of Jack Spriggins and the Enchanted Bean" in 1734 and as Benjamin Tabart's moralized "The History of Jack and the Bean-Stalk" in 1807. Henry Cole, publishing under pen name Felix Summerly, popularized the tale in The Home Treasury (1845), and Joseph Jacobs rewrote it in English Fairy Tales (1890). Jacobs' version is most commonly reprinted today, and is believed to be closer to the oral versions than Tabart's because it lacks the moralizing.
