[edit] Story
Rocky and Mugsy, a pair of gangster antagonists from the Looney Tunes cartoon series, try to ruin a film studio through making extremely expensive movies so that they can buy all the studio's stock very cheaply. The two hire Yosemite Sam to be their director and prepare to try to find the worst possible actor to be the star of their movie, with the candidates for the position being the Looney Tunes characters Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester the Cat, and the Tasmanian Devil.

[edit] Gameplay
The gameplay is somewhat similar to Capcom's Power Stone video games in which four characters fight against each other in an arena, with the aim being to knock opponents out of the arena. Each arena in Loons contains different devices that can be used against opponents. Devices, called gizmos in the game, include spring-loaded boxing gloves, falling anvils, and other Acme related products.
A unique element is the star power system. Activating items and picking up scripts strewn about the arenas will fill a star meter. Attaining a full star meter can activate a mini-game (usually a familiar arcade game such as Space Invaders). These elements serve as requirements during a one-player game mode.
The graphics for Loons utilizes 3D graphics with a cel-shading effect.
