Animaniacs: Hollywood Hypnotics

About

This cancelled Game Boy Advance title follows Pinky, The Brain, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot in a 2D platformer adventure. The villainous duo plans to use hidden speakers to mind control everyone into thinking they are filming movies. This scheme allows them to turn the Warner Bros. Water Tower into a rocket for launching a satellite with annoying barking sounds. The three Warner siblings remain immune to the hypnosis and must travel across Hollywood to destroy the speakers before the plan succeeds. You play through levels filled with classic cartoon antics while dodging enemies and solving simple puzzles. A prototype of this game surfaced years later thanks to Hidden Palace, giving fans a chance to play what was never officially released. The project shows Full Fat Games tackling the chaotic energy of the show with a straightforward point-and-click style mixed into the platforming action. While no community ratings exist since it never saw a full launch, the discovery itself makes this a notable piece of gaming history. Players can see how developers tried to adapt the series without the usual polish that comes with a finished product. It remains a fun glimpse into what could have been a standard entry for the console.
