Daffy Duck - The Marvin Missions (USA)
Daffy Duck: The Marvin Missions is an action video game for the Super NES and Game Boy. The European Game Boy version is known Daffy Duck as while the Japanese Game Boy version is known as Looney Tunes Series: Daffy Duck (ルーニー・テューンズシリーズ ダフィー・ダック).
The game involves Duck Dodgers in the 24th and a ½ Century, as told in the classic Looney Tunes stories created by Chuck Jones. When he is hit, he will say some of Daffy Duck's more infamous lines from the 1950s like Mother and You're despicable, voiced by voice actor Greg Burson.
The Super NES version of Daffy Duck: The Marvin Missions starts out in the outskirts of a Martian resort and progresses to the remaining 19 stages.
Shrinking rays and crushing platforms are commonly seen as the player tries to kill Martians that are standing in the way along with rock monsters and dragons. Lava won't instantly kill the player's character but falling into a bottomless pit will. In the end, Marvin the Martian must be destroyed in the final stage of the game.
Dodgers has infinite ammo for his starting gun and more guns with limited ammo can be found or bought throughout the game with the game's fictitious currency (which is depicted by the dollar sign). There are five types of guns: the regular gun, the three-shot gun, the electric gun, the bomb gun and the antimatter gun. Dodgers also has a jet pack so he can fly around to avoid danger on the ground and reach new locations, a shield to block incoming projectiles and a special attack called Nutty, which makes Duck Dodgers whirl around and destroy every enemy on the screen. However, Duck Dodgers has a tendency to bounce backwards whenever he fires a shot from any of his weapons.
In the Game Boy Color version, certain enemies were removed in the first and second levels. The Game Boy version includes a secret "hard" difficulty level. Losing in this difficulty level will simply reset the game instead of bringing up the game over screen.
