Who Framed Roger Rabbit

About

Roger Rabbit's Toontown is in trouble after a toon tycoon gets murdered and a femme fatale vanishes. You play Roger, hopping between locations to gather clues, solve puzzles, and punch weasels in a pixelated version of the 1988 movie universe. The Game Boy port strips away FMV sequences but keeps the cartoon chaos, with platforming sections where you dodge falling anvils and leap over rubber chickens. Text-based dialogue trees let you pick responses to advance the case while avoiding Doom's henchmen. The game leans hard into its source material's absurdity, packing in cameos and gags that'll charm fans. Its 1991 release date and chibi art style feel oddly ahead of its time for a handheld. While control limitations and screen size hurt the experience, completionists praise its tricky boss fights and dedication to the source's spirit. A cult favorite among retro adventure enthusiasts.

Storyline

Through his investigation Roger faces Stupid, Greasy, Psycho, and Smarty weasels and finally makes it to Doom's mansion. He makes it past the complex and confront Doom, defeating him and destroying his Dip Machine.
