It's Crazy Castle, but in color!

Bugs Bunny: Crazy Castle 3 is a 2D puzzle-platformer developed and published by Kemco for the Game Boy Color (Platform) in Japan on January 29, 1999, with an overseas version sometime after.

The third main installment of the Crazy Castle (Franchise) series, it was originally released in Japan as a Game Boy (Platform) game on July 18, 1997, where it was named Soreyuke!! Kid: Go! Go! Kid and starred Kemco's mascot Kid Klown (Character). The "Bugs Bunny" re-release, as well as the Bugs Bunny Collection (Game) compilation, establishes the series' numerical installments in Japan.

Much of the gameplay remains similar to its predecessor, with players guiding Looney Tunes (Franchise) mascot Bugs Bunny (Character) around a labyrinth collecting keys to open a locked exit door while dealing with other Looney Tunes characters (such as Daffy Duck (Character) and Elmer Fudd (Character)) using traps and other weaponry.

The game's story involves Bugs (or Kid Klown, in the original Japanese version) finding an antique book containing information about lost treasure hidden in an old castle, and then setting out to find that treasure.


Gameplay

The goal of each stage in Crazy Castle 3 is to collect all of the keys and then exit through the locked door. There are several enemy characters, that if touched will result in a lost life. There are also several power ups that can be obtained to help complete each level.

When a new game is started the player will have 3 lives with 4 continues. Once all of these have been used up it will be game over. Crazy Castle 3 utilizes a password save system.
