Warrior Cats Rumble is a 2D arena fighting game for the Game Boy Advance, released on December 31st 2006, in North America and Europe, developed by Roxpunged Productions, published by HarperCollins Publishing, and licensed by Nintendo. It is based on the Warriors adventure & drama novel series by the Erin Hunter team, with gameplay inspired by The Outfoxies, Super Smash Bros., and The King of Fighters.
In Warrior Cats Rumble, players select a team of two fighters and an assist to deplete the opposing team's lives. The game features a simple, chibi, cartoony art style, and a drum & bass soundtrack, with a emphasis on techno. The game takes a more silly and comedic approach to the source material, but still being relatively faithful to events that have happened throughout.
Disclaimer: Some events, like Bone's reform, is inspired by the preexisting Warirorz fan-game series by the same developer.
==Gameplay==
===Basics===
Warrior Cats Rumble is a tag team fighting game, using a King of Fighters-like aspect where two players control one character at a time in a 2D environment, but can freely switch to their other teammate at any time; players can also use assists to call in a fighter with one or two interactions at their disposal, before retreating from the arena.
The arenas are unique like Super Smash Bros., where players can freely move around on the stage, and use the layouts to their advantage, such as knocking their opponent into a stage hazard. Some objects in the environment are destructible, and knocking the other player into something like a plane of glass will stun them!
There are 18 playable characters in Warrior Cats Rumble, with 24 selectable assist characters, and 20 stages to choose from.
===Mechanics===
The game uses a simple four button control scheme; you have a Light attack, a Heavy attack, a Tag button, and a button for the ‘Warrior mode’ mechanic. A light attack is a simple combo starter that can be pressed rapidly to dish out small amounts of damage quickly; usually the cats use their claws to scratch the opponent, but sometimes can be a jab or a tail attack. A heavy attack can be used to strike your opponent for some good damage, however it can't start combos, and it's not as fast. Tagging will swap your current character out for the other teammate that you have, with them jumping onto the arena pretty quickly, allowing you to get right back into the action! When a teammate isn't being played as, they will slowly regain red health back, which works similar to Marvel vs. Capcom. In fact, the aerial rave system from that game is here in a slightly tweaked form. Pressing down while in the air will let you fall faster than you normally would after jumping, which can be used as an offensive or defensive strategy.
Both teammates share lives and the special bar, but have their own health bars.
Getting hurt will give you a tiny amount of knockback, but you can negate this by countering at the right time for a counterattack! 
Warrior mode will gain the player access to a unique mode for that character, which will give you an advantage mid-battle, however this will drain your special meter pretty quickly, and you can only do it five times per match if it depletes all the way. Turning off Warrior mode half-way will slightly penalize your power for a short while. Pressing Light and Tag together will perform a quick evade, and pressing Heavy and Tag will call your assist character, who can be spawned ten times per match. Almost every move (except blocking and rolling) can also work in mid-air.
If you have enough special meter, you can perform unique specials that can take big chunks out of the opponent's health bar; fill it up to >75% in Warrior mode, and you can perform a devastating Warrior special, where you'll become temporarily invincible, and automatically take a life away from the enemy! Special bar can be gained by performing combos, juggles, counters, and smart decisions, like tagging out when your health is low, using an assist while you're in trouble, or distracting an opponent; you can also gain some red health back this way. Some attacks can leave you dizzy for a short period, although you can safely traverse out of the way during it. If done correctly, a special move can be cancelled out of into another special, heavily damaging the opponent. To help with mobility, something that is very important in this game, every character can wall jump, roll, double jump, and wall climb.
Taunting/respecting gives you a small boost, that will randomly select one of your stats to improve upon for a minute; Taunting afterwards will not give you another boost for the rest of the match.
===Goals===
The goal is to deplete the other player's health bar three times to defeat them, or knock them off the stage, where they will automatically lose 25% of their health bar; they will then respawn to a nearby platform; and losing a life nets you invulnerability frames for a few seconds. The match will pause once a teammate is defeated, in which the other teammate will appear to continue the game, at the cost of a life. If you lose your first life, your teammate will revive with 50% health. However, losing the next life will have your teammate stay defeated! The match will be over once either player loses all their health and lives for both teammates. When both opponents are defeated, the screen will fade to white, and a team's win quotes will appear with accompanying win poses, signalling the victory.
You can also suspend the game by running out the timer with more health than them, however this will allow the under performing player to continue to use the same teammate, at the cost of a life; the timer will then reset back to 99. If two opponents get far away from each other enough, a split screen will be applied until the opponents get close enough to one another. Combos can reach pretty high counts, but the further your combo goes, the easier your opponent can break free and counterattack, so be careful going ham on them! Combos will also end if the player runs out of health midway throughout. Characters who can fly in their Warrior mode deplete the special bar rapidly, so be mindful of how much you fly, you don't want it to run dry when you're in mid-air!

==Story==
=== Once upon a time... ===
The game starts with a pop-up book opening up, to reveal that once upon a time, there was a power greater than anyone could imagine. In fact, this power was able to grant immediate resurrection, teleportation, object forming, terrain manipulation, and even the ability to grant super speed, strength, and agility. It has been said that whomever can manage to acquire these boundless abilities, have the power to change the world forever.
But this wasn't known to one impressionable, gullible, and hyperactive neon Warrior Cats super fan. Their name was 'Watszye', and they took this power and went home to eat dinner. After they were done with their homework, they got to work willing many characters from their novels to their super laptop, creating many places to fight in modeled after familiar locations, and setting up their dream fighting tournament... and also decided to give them all powers to fight with, because they decided the forest needed some fresh moves!
Firestar, the leader of Thunderclan, and a noble former kittypet, found himself in a blank canvas. At first, he thought this was a strange vision from StarClan in his dream, but then he realized that he recognized Graystripe! And Bluestar too, not to mention Leopardstar, Tallstar, Sandstorm, and even the nefarious Tigerclaw, Scourge, and Hawkfrost! This was no vision, this was more akin to a nightmare! There was no escape, nowhere to run as the endless white void surrounded them all. But as soon as he tried to pounce Tigerclaw, the one whom sent the entire forest into chaos with his tyrannical rule, Watszye used the "Warriorball" to stop them from doing any damage, spawning a huge teddy bear for Firestar to rip up instead. 
The other cats looked on in confusion, as the new neon cat explained they've all been chosen to compete in a tag team fighting tournament, for a chance to wish for anything they could possibly want! Immortality, fame, power, even the most comfortable bedding that a kittypet would do anything to get their hands on! Or a nose, since it appears they lack visible noses from their weird cartoony appearances, which they are still trying to comprehend.
=== Total chaos! ===
Not many were too keen on this development (to say the least, they were almost all freaking the heck out), however when Sandstorm noticed the innocent look on Watszye's face, she convinced them all that this really was a vivid dream they're all having, and everything will go back to normal when they wake up. Surprisingly, this seemingly worked on Tigerclaw! Sandstorm sighed in relief, knowing immediately that the host of the competition was merely an imaginative kittypet, just wanting to have some fun.
Scourge on the other hand, had been already plotting with the other two villains to spin this in their favor! Quickly, Watszye began making the matchups, placing the sixteen new competitors into teams of two, with a different cast of cats acting as assists. Firestar & Graystripe were paired up against Bluestar & Sandstorm, a matchup that immediately alarmed them; their assists were Runningwind and Darkstripe respectively.
"Wait a minute, I have to fight against my mate?!" Firestar had no intentions of rivaling Sandstorm, but she winked at him about like ten times. He got the message pretty clearly.
Before any more questions could be asked, the Warriorball illuminated the canvas, and Firestar saw the room quickly morph into the ThunderClan territory he was all too familiar with. Bluestar tried his hand to convince the two toms that they "mean no harm", but this time, all Graystripe wanted to do was taunt the she-cats by calling them "mouse-brains"! He even stuck his tongue out and blew a raspberry! And just like that, Bluestar did not hold back, and charged at Firestar & Graystripe, with shocked expressions on their face.
The fight was on!

==Characters==
=== Playable Characters ===
 
There are 18 playable characters, ranging from alumni from The Prophecy Begins, to wild picks like Barley and Yellowfang, to even original characters! You must select two characters and an assist for any battle you initiate, but the two unlockable characters can be used on their own, while selecting two assists.
The characters are ranked by four stats, detailing what they excel at, and what they fumble with. These stats are Speed, Agility, Power, and Defense. Speed represents how fast your dash is, Agility is how high you can jump, Power is how much damage you deal, and Defense is how much damage you can block out.
There are six types of fighters in Warrior Cats Rumble. 
*All-rounder: A jack of all trades, per say. Can be quite fearful to combat, if they manage to pull off those special moves well.
*Rushdown: Rushdown characters are good at quickly starting combos, but only up close; and they're not very skilled going up against zoning characters.
* Footsie: Footsies are very neutral based fighters, their best use is for going up against characters whom excel in the air.
*Grappler: Grapplers have to eat stuff up close if they're in trouble, but make it up for their superb grabs and strength.
*Zoner: Not very good at up close combat, but they excel in bullying opponents with projectiles and helpers.
*Set-up: Characters whom may seem easy on the surface, however you couldn't be more wrong! These fighters can bait and punish really strongly!
====Firestar====
Speed: ★★★☆☆
Agility: ★★★☆☆
Power: ★★★☆☆
Defense: ★★★☆☆
Firestar acts as an all-rounder type. He works well in all aspects, making him a good choice for beginners. He is the leader of ThunderClan, formerly a kittypet who, after a meetup with Graypaw, Bluestar, and Whitestorm, went into the forest and never looked back. He eventually defeated his evil half-brother and currently resides in the lake territories, a life that he wouldn't trade for anything else.
He uses the power of his nine lives, manifested into pure energy. His Warrior Mode lets him spawn a spirit of himself, able to attack twice as fast, and juggle real easily!
Light Special: Stardouken (Firestar will fire a flying star out his paws, which has decent range, and is pretty good for any sort of use. He even says "Stardouken!")
Heavy Special: Tailspin (Firestar will spin around, using his tail to hit opponents with good range, but this can leave him vulnerable in the air.)
Warrior Special: Star Burst (Firestar will create a star barrier around himself, which will hit anyone within a small radius, and it looks cool too.)
Respect: Firestar will show a peace sign, and smile.
====Graystripe====
Speed: ★★★☆☆
Agility: ★★☆☆☆
Power: ★★★☆☆
Defense: ★★★★☆
This fuzzy feline works best as an anti-air footsie, who can strike well on the ground. He is the former deputy of ThunderClan, before getting taken away by twolegs and kept as a pet. He longs for his warrior days again; one day... Graystripe is Firestar's best friend, despite his hardships of leaving for RiverClan to be with his kits, until being exiled for not attacking the orange tom during a battle.
His years of being a warrior have prepared him for this very moment! His Warrior Mode will activate a boost in agility, letting him leap much higher!
Light Special: Clawing Uppercut (Graystripe will launch himself off the ground, and up into the air with an uppercut. Basically, a SHORYUKEN!)
Heavy Special: Sharp Slide (Graystripe will spin around horizontally incredibly fast on the ground, and travel in a straight line. You can also jump while doing this. However, this might make him dizzy right after.)
Warrior Special: Claw Barrage (Graystripe will slice and dice his opponent around 10-12 times, before launching them away.)
Taunt: Graystripe will stick his tongue out and blow a cheeky raspberry.
====Bluestar====
Speed: ★★★★☆
Agility: ★★★★★
Power: ★★☆☆☆
Defense: ★★☆☆☆
While her defense and power aren't good, her agility is unmated due to her being a rushdown type. Bluestar is the former leader of ThunderClan. She sacrificed herself for her clan, and was noble in redeeming herself from her past judgements after being betrayed by Tigerclaw. She resides in StarClan, watching over everything that happens with a smile on her muzzle. (most of the time) She also likes oatmeal cookies, for some reason.
She uses the power of StarClan to attack. Her Warrior Mode will give her wings, which she can use to further increase her power!
Light Special: Starrun (Bluestar will charge at the opponent and get them into a fight ball. This will most likely result in her favor.)
Heavy Special: StarClan Scramble (Bluestar will launch into the air and divekick with a powerful landing. I hope you're ready for that!)
Warrior Special: The Charge of Loyalty (Bluestar will charge at the opponent, and knock both them and her onto the ground, then she will heavily slice at you 4 times before finishing with a tail smack!)
Taunt: Bluestar will turn around and glare at the screen.
====Sandstorm====
Speed: ★★★★★
Agility: ★☆☆☆☆
Power: ★★★★☆
Defense: ★★★☆☆
Sandstorm is quite powerful, but can't jump well due to a side-effect of her earth-shattering strength. However, she is the fastest out of the cast, and can really mess you up. She is a feisty and witty advisor to ThunderClan, and the mate of Firestar, who love each other very much; despite her formerly being cold to the idea of a kittypet becoming a warrior.
She specializes in manipulating the ground to attack unsuspecting foes. Her Warrior Mode will give her super armor, able to withstand specials, but will make her quite slow!
Light Special: Rock Bash (Sandstorm will grab a rock and bash it with her noggin, this might make her dizzy, but this is a pretty strong attack nonetheless!)
Heavy Special: Ground Grumble (Sandstorm will stomp on the ground, spawning a rock pillar that will launch the other player in the air! That way, she'll be ready when they come back down!)
Warrior Special: Destructo Dusty Dune (Sandstorm will stun the opponent, then launch a powerful dust devil that will send the opponent flying!)
Respect: Sandstorm will chuckle to herself.
====Leopardstar====
Speed: ★★☆☆☆
Agility: ★★★★☆
Power: ★★★★★
Defense: ★☆☆☆☆
The no-nonsense leader of RiverClan is good at zoning, able to launch blasts of water at far distances. However she's more of a glass cannon than anything else. She isn't one for negotiation, she's here for a fight.
In fact, she couldn't care less if her opponent is Firestar, Yellowfang, heck even Ravenpaw; she's more concerned about leading RiverClan, and being a prideful cat who never backs down from a challenge... mostly.
As RiverClan's determination flows through her paws, she's an excellent water based fighter. Her Warrior Mode lets her call upon a free assist!
Light Special: Wavewhirl (Leopardstar will stand still, get into touch with her inner-Geese Howard, and launch two small waves on the ground. They don't have very good range however.)
Heavy Special: Bluebird Beam (Leopardstar will charge a beam for around 3-5 seconds, making her vulnerable, so find a good place to charge, then release this powerful beam!)
Warrior Special: Tsunami Turmoil (Leopardstar will launch herself high in the sky and summon a giant tsunami to wash away her opponent!)
Respect: Leopardstar will close her eyes and nod her head.
==== Tawnypelt ====
Speed: ★★★☆☆
Agility: ★★★☆☆
Power: ★☆☆☆☆
Defense: ★★★★★
The rebellious daughter of Tigerclaw, who is a fierce warrior of ShadowClan after leaving ThunderClan. She is another all-rounder character, though she excels at defense the most, and doesn't do as much damage as many others. She is best friends with Feathertail, despite being on different terms, both in the game and in different ways of life. She despises her father, and anything to do with him.
Watszye loves playing beat em' ups, so they gave her powers akin to a Streets of Rage character; explaining why many of her moves involve fire. Her Warrior Mode lets her activate a specific special!
Light Special: Blazing Kick (Tawnypelt will kick in the air around 3 times, following a straight line. Grapplers beware!)
Heavy Special: Overhead Offense (Tawnypelt will make sure that her opponent stays on the ground, by slamming them onto it!)
Warrior Mode Special: Fiery Buster (Tawnypelt will hit the ground with her fist, spawning a flaming geyser from that same spot. This can leave her vulnerable to get caught in that same gesyer, however.)
Warrior Special (not to be confused): Burning Blitz (Tawnypelt will burn the opponent for 4-8 seconds, then lunge at them with a great force.)
Taunt: Tawnypelt will make a "come here" gesture, with a grin on her face.
==== Feathertail ====
Speed: ★★★★☆
Agility: ★★★★☆
Power: ★★☆☆☆
Defense: ★★★☆☆
As the silver cat foretold in a different prophecy, that ended in Sharptooth's defeat at the cost of her own life, she has returned from the Tribe of Endless Hunting to become a good footsie character, who likes to mix-up her hunting ability with the power of gravitation. She is the daughter of Silverstream and Graystripe.
She was apart of RiverClan, and helped take down Bone, the deputy of BloodClan. Her Warrior Mode lets her flip the controls of the other opponent, although this will drain the special bar faster!
Light Special: Mouse's Demise (Feathertail will lunge at the opponent and launch them into the air. It can be continued by biting the opponent when they come back down!)
Heavy Special: Gravity Ground (Feathertail will flip the opponent upside-down, and slam them back down onto the ground! This can be tricky to pull off correctly, however.)
Warrior Special: Stalagmite Sacrifice (Feathertail will hop onto a stalagmite, which will fall down onto the opponent and take away 50% of Feathertail's health, but also take a whole life from the opponent!)
Respect: Feathertail will wave her tail around.
==== Longtail ====
Speed: ★☆☆☆☆
Agility: ★★★★★
Power: ★★★★☆
Defense: ★★☆☆☆
When an orange kittypet named Rusty entered the forest one day, Longtail immediately hated the idea, and challenged the housecat to a battle. He lost... really badly. Humiliated by a kittypet after getting his ear torn right off, Longtail later became a grumpy ally to Firestar. He later became blind, but this won't stop him from using his tail to grapple and launch foes away!
He also uses the power of air to propel himself up higher than anyone else! His Warrior Mode will turn him metal, which trades his agility for defense!
Light Special: Longest Launch (Longtail will grapple the opponent, then throw them to the opposite direction.)
Heavy Special: One Tail of a Piledriver (Longtail will grapple the opponent, then spin around and piledrive them onto the ground! This might make you dizzy right after, every time you use it, so be cautious!)
Warrior Special: Aerial Assault (Longtail will grapple the opponent, then launch them into a bed of thorns, and finally cap it off with Longtail pushing them further into the thorn bushes!)
Taunt: Longtail will go "tsk tsk tsk", waggle his finger, and shake his head.
==== Ravenpaw ====
Speed: ★★☆☆☆
Agility: ★★☆☆☆
Power: ★★★★★
Defense: ★★★★☆
Ravenpaw may seem cowardly on the surface, but his mix-up gameplay will give his opponents one heck of a challenge; setting up ghostly interferences to distract the player and force them to think outside the box!
Formerly a ThunderClan warrior, he escaped to avoid the wrath of Tigerclaw, now he's doing fine with his boyfriend Barley; and his serene farm too! His Warrior Mode will call upon a happy dancing purple ghost to help out, being able to toss opponents and distract them with their awesome breakdancing!
Light Special: Ghostly Portal (Ravenpaw will open up a ghostly portal, which can pull in an opponent and do some damage, or can spawn an illusion version of him; however the portal won't stay open for long.)
Heavy Special: Vanishing Velocity (Ravenpaw will... disappear out of thin air! He will roughly be invisible to the other player for 5-7 seconds, giving you an advantage!)
Warrior Special: Ghost Mode (Ravenpaw will activate Ghost Mode, where he can float, easily combo, and even fire an incredible beam out of his eyes! This will last approximately 5 seconds.)
Respect: Ravenpaw will happily eat a berry and heal a teeny tiny amount of health back!
==== Barley ====
Speed: ★★★★☆
Agility: ★★★★★
Power: ★☆☆☆☆
Defense: ★★☆☆☆
Barley is a loner whom owns his own farm, and resides there with his lovely significant other Ravenpaw. Years of working on the farm has turned him into an excellent zoner, able to use his ropes like Whip from King of Fighters.
He first met ThunderClan during their journey home from the Moonstone, where he defended them from a rat attack. His Warrior Mode will spawn a friendly dog to help sweep the opponent off their paws!
Disclaimer: Barley is mostly inspired by Bok Bok Choy's interpretation of this character, from the animated web series 'Warrior Cats Animated"
Light Special: Town Traversing (Barley will throw a rope upwards, to either swing around, attack aerial players, or gain some distance. It can reach pretty far, but only if you hold down the buttons.)
Heavy Special: Tangling Trouble (Barley will throw a rope at the other opponent, then he will simply spin them around and toss them aside. This might make Barley dizzy.)
Warrior Special: Roped In (Barley will throw a rope at the other opponent, then he will slam them onto the ground multiple times, and finally toss them aside.)
Respect: Barley will spin around and say "Yeehaw!"
==== Yellowfang ====
Speed: ★☆☆☆☆
Agility: ★☆☆☆☆
Power: ★★★★★
Defense: ★★★★★
This medicine cat isn't gonna just stand there and heal wounds all day! Yellowfang seemed to take some lessons from Zangief, because she's the most powerful grappler in the game; however she's as slow as a tortoise.
Exiled from ShadowClan, Yellowfang stumbled into ThunderClan territory and ended up becoming their medicine cat, until her journey ended from a terrible fire. Her Warrior Mode will make her able to heal some health back!
Light Special: Slam Blam (Yellowfang will slam the opponent into the ground with a great force, however you might get yourself hurt with this move!)
Heavy Special: Thorn Barrage (Yellowfang will grapple the opponent, and throw thorns into them to cause big damage, but this damage can be slightly shrugged off with enough willpower)
Warrior Special: Deathberry Suplex (Yellowfang will grapple the opponent, fly high into the sky with them, and spin down back to the ground with immense force; then she'll make them eat a deathberry!)
Taunt: Yellowfang will scoff at the opponent and turn her back on them.
==== Brightheart ====
Speed: ★★★☆☆
Agility: ★★★★☆
Power: ★★☆☆☆
Defense: ★★★★☆
Brightheart's love for being a warrior has manifested into an incredible zoning game, where she can bully opponents from a safe distance, and at a pretty quick rate as well; they're not that powerful, but she's got heart, and that's what matters. She is mates with Cloudtail, a ThunderClan warrior who does not believe in StarClan.
During Bluestar's downfall, Brightheart was injured by a pack of dogs trying to prove herself; but that won't ever bring this cat down! Her Warrior Mode will let her fire projectiles twice as fast!
Light Special: Happy Breaker (Brightheart will fire something along the lines of a pink Tiger Shot, which has middling range, but good damage numbers to make up for it!)
Heavy Special: Goldenrod Grunge (Brightheart will fire three Happy Breakers, then jumps up and fires a big, yellow, flaming Happy Breaker. As she lands on the ground, she might become dizzy from the spinning.)
Warrior Special: Love Slashdown (Brightheart will stun the opponent first, then fire 4-8 Happy Breakers in one go, then slash at the opponent 20 times, before letting them fall to the ground.)
Taunt: Brightheart will slash at the air, and say "Come get me!"
==== Tigerclaw ====
Speed: ★★★★★
Agility: ★★★☆☆
Power: ★★★★☆
Defense: ★☆☆☆☆
Tigerclaw was once the deputy of ThunderClan, but his betrayal wound up benefiting him as the new leader of ShadowClan. He is a strong rushdown-type, able to claw his way through the competition at relative ease.
He is pretty scary, a terrifying leader who plunged the entire forest into pure chaos, and used his reign to control everything ShadowClan did! He even formed TigerClan in an effort to take over the clans!
Unfortunately for him, he was overshadowed and eventually one-shotted by a kittypet he once bullied out of the forest... that being the nefarious Scourge. His Warrior Mode will allow him to spawn spikes from the ground!
Light Special: Killer Claw (Tigerclaw will slash at the other player about 3 times, then grabbing them and tossing them aside. This only works in one direction however, so don't get distracted!)
Heavy Special: Death Bite (Tigerclaw will charge forward, and bite the scruff of the opponent, engaging poison damage to anyone who is bit. Effects are slightly different depending on who you bite. Don't poison yourself!)
Warrior Special: Scar Blade (Tigerclaw will stun the opponent, then start slashing at a rapid pace around 30 times, before slashing upwards one more time, letting them fall to the floor.)
Taunt: Tigerclaw will sport a terrifying grin, and raise his claw next to his face.)
==== Scourge ====
Speed: ★★★★☆
Agility: ★★★★★
Power: ★★★☆☆
Defense: ★☆☆☆☆
Speaking of Scourge, the evil leader of the terrible BloodClan comes rearing his head once more, now with a little help from his new crow wings! Just like his half-brother, he is an all-rounder that can fly, but has awful defense.
He used to be a kittypet just like Firestar, but when he was bullied by his other littermates, he retaliated, escaped, and embedded dog teeth into his collar, which is why his collar looks the way it is!
That said, he only had one life, and so his half-brother outwitted him, and took care of Scourge back in the forest; but Firestar will have to play smarter this time! His Warrior Mode lets him fly around faster, while draining the special bar much quicker!
Light Special: Collar Calamity (Scourge will unhook his purple collar, and throw it like a boomerang at the opponent. This can backfire, as his collar will fly off if it doesn't hit sometimes; but don't worry, as it will come back 3 seconds later.)
Heavy Special: Bloody Storm (Scourge will slam the opponent to the ground, then summon a squad of crows to bombard them! This crow storm can also hurt Scourge, so be careful where you are when it happens!)
Warrior Special: Nine Lives Strike (Scourge will redo his infamous attack against Tigerclaw, and slash your belly upwards, with that evil smile shining through the silhouette screen.)
Respect: Scourge will spin around, floating with his crow wings.
==== Tallstar & Jake ====
Speed: ★★☆☆☆
Agility: ★★★☆☆
Power: ★★★★☆
Defense: ★★★☆☆
Tallstar is the former leader of WindClan, before passing on his duties to Onestar. He is joined by his partner Jake, who may seem familiar to a certain orange cat. He's a good setup character who works best by baiting and punishing. When ShadowClan drived WindClan out of the forest, he later partnered up with ThunderClan to defeat TigerClan, and later BloodClan.
He works similar to Jotaro from JoJo's Bizzare Adventure: Heritage for the Future, in the sense that he commands Jake for his Warrior Mode. He also has learned the powers of psychic manipulation.
Light Special: Psychic Wave (Tallstar will emit a small tornado out of his paws to propel the opponent upwards. This can be used for multiple purposes.)
Heavy Special: Tall Tangle (Tallstar will grab the opponent with his tail, at which he can either A: pummel them and throw them aside, B: throw them into the air, or C: let Jake get a strike attack in! Decide quick, don't let them break free!)
Warrior Special: The Legendary Wanderer (Tallstar will summon Jake, and the two will rapidly punch the opponent over and over, launching them off-screen for a devastating blow!)
Respect: Tallstar will comment on how strange the situation around him is.
==== Hawkfrost ====
Speed: ★★★★☆
Agility: ★★★☆☆
Power: ★★★★☆
Defense: ★★☆☆☆
Brambleclaw's brother, RiverClan warrior, and ruler of the Dark Forest, the ability he has gained control over with the Scar Gem on his chest. He specializes in twoleg weapons, like nails, wires, steaks, saws, and even a baseball bat! His Warrior Mode will let him spawn a spirit akin to Firestar and Brightheart, but with a mind of their own.
He was defeated when Brambleclaw saved Firestar's life after Hawkfrost revealed his true intentions: to take over the forest. He died shortly after; but in the tournament, he plots with Scourge and Tigerclaw to take the Warriorball, and rule not just the forest, but the entire world!
Light Special: It's Too Late for You! (Hawkfrost will setup either A: a set of nails, B: a thin cutting wire, or C: a buzzsaw! Decide quick, before the opponent has a chance to intervene!)
Heavy Special: Homerun Havoc (Hawkfrost will stun the opponent, then swing that opponent outta here like a baseball! This attack might take a little while to pull off though.)
Warrior Special: Betrayal (Hawkfrost will... lend out his paw to shake? But it's a betrayal! Hawkfrost will push you into a stake below, which is just as painful as it sounds!)
Taunt: Hawkfrost will laugh maniacally.
==== Unlockable character #1 ====
Frozenheart
Speed: ★★★☆☆
Agility: ★☆☆☆☆
Power: ★★★★★
Defense: ★☆☆☆☆
Wait, who exactly is Frozenheart? The legend goes that one day, this WindClan warrior found the Warriorball and went totally crazy! They destroyed half of the territory before being put down by the skilled Tallstar; however they escaped into a soccer field, never be seen again... until now. Frozenheart is a footsie character who specializes in freezing, so their specials consist of ice moves. Their defense and agility are horrible, but makes up for it by Frozenheart's sheer POWER. You don't want to mess with this cat, whom actually seems chipper and happy-go lucky on the surface. Their Warrior Mode has them transform into their monster form, a giant spider-like beast hellbent on eradicating anything in their path! Frozenheart is one of two characters that can be a solo unit.
Light Special: Icebreaker (Frozenheart will jump up and throw out three snowflake shurikens, which will freeze the opponent on touch! This leaves them vulnerable to anti-air characters.)
Heavy Special: Frost Grab (Frozenheart will grab the opponent and freeze them in a mobile block of ice, which will shatter and hurt the opponent if it touches a wall.)
Warrior Special: Total Deletion (Frozenheart will quite literally delete a life from the opponents stock, by commencing a mouse cursor to come delete it for them.)
Respect: Frozenheart will tell you to "check out my AMV!"
Unlock Criteria: Complete Story Mode with any character
==== Unlockable character #2 ====
Sparky the Lynx
Speed: ★☆☆☆☆
Agility: ★★★★★
Power: ★★★☆☆
Defense: ★★★★★
Sparky the Lynx stems from the wonderful world of Webkinz, however in a timeline where it has been taken over by the evil conglomerate THUNDEROUS Industries! Sparky used to work as an electrician there, so that explains their electric powers. Sparky works best as a grappler, with bad speed, but good agility and defense. Their Warrior Mode lets them stun opponents with any attack they throw out! Sparky is one of the two characters who can be a solo unit.
Light Special: Shock Claw (Sparky will grapple the opponent and stand there and emit electricity into them! This can overload unfortunately, and also shock Sparky, because they do not understand the limit of their powers just yet...)
Heavy Special: Volt Locket (Sparky will grapple the opponent, toss them into the air, and with their Volt Locket, shock them in mid-air! Be careful where you stand!)
Warrior Special: Coil Crashdown (Sparky will grapple the opponent, summon an electric tesla coil, and throw them into it to shock them so badly, they turn into dust & respawn!)
Taunt: Sparky will think about their rival and best friend Ezzie, the flaming wolf.
Unlock Criteria: Defeat Sparky in Challenge 10: The Bobcat Storm
===Assists===
There are 24 assists, that can be called in at any time to help out the player; which can be cleverly used to extend combos, counter another assist, or just take down your opponent with ease! However, you can only call an assist ten times per match, and you cannot gain new stock in any way; so you'll have to plan out exactly the right time to use it! Assists are categorized by what type of interaction they have. Most are Attack types, some are Heal types, and a select few are Special types! In Story mode, assists are regulated to a specific team, but only for that mode in particular. Some cats really REALLY do not like the assist that they've chosen, so certain opponents will only sparingly call their assists during Story and Arcade mode. This will not affect any other mode in the game.
Attack types can attack the opponent for some damage, Heal types let you gain an amount of health back, and Special types vary from what action they do! Assists that can boost a stat work similar to taunting.

==Music==
Warrior Cats Rumble's original soundtrack consists of sampled upbeat high-tempo drum and bass with a techno flavor, and a hint of ambience. Character themes are shared between whoever is their teammate in Story Mode. (ex. Ravenpaw & Barley's themes are the same, Tallstar & Hawkfrost's themes are the same, ect.) It is inspired by the music from King of Fighters, Tekken, Capcom vs. SNK, The Rumble Fish, and more.

==Stages==
There are 20 stages in Warrior Cats Rumble, all consisting of familiar locations from both the forest territories, and the lake territories. Stages have unique layouts, featuring platforms, hazards, landmarks, and more. Stages are selectable in any other mode that isn't Story mode; because you fight on an opponent's home stage in that mode for every battle. Stages can be enclosed, open, tall, wide, ect. Some characters have more than one homestage, where it will be randomly decided which one will be fought on.
Stage Icon	Name 	Time of day 	Homestage 	Description
 	Barley's Farm 	8:30am 	Ravenpaw,
Barley	This cozy barn is where Ravenpaw & Barley reside, and where you can find stuff like hay bales to chuck at your enemies!
 	Carrionplace 	12:00am 	Yellowfang 	The stinky dump, where ShadowClan used to hunt for prey. Glass bottles can be bashed on your head, so watch out for those!
 	Field 	9:00am 	Tallstar 	A serene field, where WindClan roams free. This big open space is the most passive stage in the game, with minimal objects.
 	Fourtrees 	8:00pm 	Firestar,
Leopardstar,
Tallstar,
Tigerclaw	The gatherings took place in Fourtrees during the clans time in the forest, but it seems like it has become a battleground once more!
 	Bonehill 	8:00am 	Scourge 	Of course, Bonehill had to appear once more in Fourtrees, turning the gathering place into a hellish landscape of bones and death!
 	Dark Forest 	Eternal night	Tigerclaw,
Frozenheart	This is where evil cats go to wander and rot away when they die. They watch you from afar, whispering in the dark. Always watching...
 	Great Sycamore 	9:30am 	Longtail 	Apprentices climbed the Great Sycamore for training, but now you can climb them and attack your opponents from above!
 	Highrock 	11:00am 	Firestar 	The former ThunderClan campsite, where Firestar was first introduced to ThunderClan. It is a good stage for starting out.
 	Highstones 	10:00pm 	Feathertail 	The Tribe of Rushing Water resides here, a scenic, chilly mountain. Goes great with a light amen break, and some stalagmites!
 	Moonpool 	12:00am/pm 	Any character	The moonpool is the lake equivalent to the moonstone, only this time you can knock cats into the pool, and follow them on the other side!
 	Pinebranch 	11:00am 	Tawnypelt 	ShadowClan's camp in the lake territories. Everyone can agree this is an improvement. Throw sticks, moss, and pebbles at opponents!
 	Moonstone 	12:00am 	Bluestar,
Yellowfang	The moonstone is where leaders went to receive their nine lives, but it seems to have been repurposed by the twolegs to a makeshift battlefield!
 	Sandy Hollow 	1:00pm 	Ravenpaw 	This is where the apprentices in the forest territories go for battle training. None of you are apprentices anymore, but it's a nice place to fight!
 	StarClan 	Eternal skies	Bluestar,
Sparky	This is where cats ascend when they pass away, one way or another. The clans dedicate their entire lives following their warrior code.
 	Sun-drown-place	6:00pm 	Brightheart 	The clans set upon a journey to reach Midnight the Badger at the sun-drown-place, otherwise known as the beech copse. There's a seal in this stage!
 	Sunningrocks 	3:00pm 	Firestar,
Leopardstar	Sunningrocks... which clan does it belong to? ThunderClan, or RiverClan? You can finally decide yourself, with an overdue rocky duel to determine!
 	The Gorge 	6:00am 	Leopardstar 	RiverClan's home stage is a huge waterfall, watch your step! You don't wanna fall into it and never be seen again, like Whiteclaw! Poor Whiteclaw...
 	The Island 	6:00pm 	Sandstorm 	Where the gatherings take place at the lake territories. Now the fallen tree? That's the same one that squashed Mudclaw! Timberrrrrr!
 	Thunderpath 	4:00am 	Graystripe,
Longtail	There aren't any monsters (automobiles) to be found here, but the signs can really mess you up! Plus, this place just gives you pretty bad vibes...
 	Twolegplace 	2:15pm 	Graystripe,
Frozenheart	To a twoleg, this is a comfy and cozy home. To a warrior, this is a prison. Glass planes are here, so it is your job to smash them all! It's fun!
==Story Progression==
Depending on whom you play as, the opponents that you were supposed to face, will be swapped with whoever you didn't pick, as for example Firestar & Graystripe will face off against Bluestar & Sandstorm in match 1, but it will be swapped if you play as the latter. There are four matches on Easy, six matches on Medium, and eight matches on Hard. The bonus round is a small mini-game where you must collect as many berries as possible within sixty seconds, there is no penalty for losing, however collecting over thirty berries will earn you an extra life for the rest of the mode. The canonical ending for the game is through Ravenpaw & Barley's perspective, so this will be based on their story mode.

== Development ==
In 2003, Roxpunged Productions was founded by Herne Liedel, as a solo development company solely for commissioning licensed games for handheld consoles. Their budget was not only very low, but almost about to close without developing a single game that ended up releasing; they were making an action hack 'n slash game called 'The Axe', but the game was cancelled after they could not find a publisher. That was, until in 2005, HarperCollins commissioned Roxpunged Productions to make a Game Boy Advance tag team fighting game based on the young adult novel series, Warrior Cats.
The gameplay was designed to be not only be fast-paced, but also simple to learn, fun to play, and difficult to perfect, without having to input joystick-like motions on a D-pad to perform special moves. Roxpunged Productions took note of the game Dragon Ball Z: Super Butouden for how the split-screen would function. The King of Fighters was a heavy influence, judging by the concept art and some of the final game's design, especially the tag team aspect mixed in with the 'strikers' mechanic from The King of Fighters '99; the fast pace of the game was inspired by Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
Roxpunged Productions worked closely with the Erin Hunter team to remain somewhat authentic to certain aspects of the books, characters, setpieces, lore, and terminology; while having creative control over the chibi redesigns, story, and the two original characters, Watszye and Frozenheart.
The decision for a fighting game was chosen due to the popularity of the battle aspects of the source material. The game was revealed to an initial negative response, with not many people reading gaming magazines at the time knowing the source material. The simplistic graphical artstyle recieved major backlash, due to the significant pivot from Wayne McLoughlin's art for the original books, with some comparing it to the children's picture book and TV series Arthur. The decision for the genre was also criticized, for the reason that many Warrior Cats fans were more in favor of an RPG that adapted the events of The Prophecy Begins.
The character list was a joint decision with the Erin Hunter team and Roxpunged Productions. The Erin Hunters were in charge of the initial main characters, like Firestar, Leopardstar, and Scourge, meanwhile the more obscured picks like Barley, Yellowfang, and the aforementioned Frozenheart, were decided by the developer themselves. The platforming stages were inspired by Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Power Stone. 
The music consists of square waves and saw waves for the leads, a synth bass, an acoustic guitar, a distortion guitar, synth chords, strings, harps, timpani, and frequent use of the amen break; swapping some instruments for each song to make every song sound distinct. The drum and bass genre was selected for the developer's love of the style, believing it to compliment the artstyle well. 
The game took around a year to develop, with many limitations of the Game Boy Advance and how the game was programmed, resulting in some features being cut, mainly the inclusion of four more characters, and an expanded trial mode. These characters were Lionheart, Bone, an original character named Ezzie the Wolf, and a different, more powerful form for Firestar. Lionheart and Bone were retooled into an assist, reusing some of their attack sprites; meanwhile Ezzie was regulated to a cameo in Sparky's taunt.
