Laff-A-Lympics

Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics is a sports video game developed by Existence Software and based upon the animated series , which aired from 1977 to 1978 as part of the Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics programming block. As with the television series it is based on, Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics crosses over characters from a multitude of different franchises created by Hanna-Barbera Productions as they participate in a variety of sporting competitions. Unlike the original show however, which featured sporting events that were, for the most part, grounded in reality, the Laff-A-Lympics video game instead reimagines all sporting events in order to take advantage of the cartoon nature of the original series involved.
The game features full voice acting for every character. While original recordings are reused for some characters, a majority of the cast receive new portrays provided by their current voice actors. Many characters' voice actors return from the television series , Wacky Races, , and . and , who originally debuted in and respectively, serve as the announcers for the competitions and narrate the games.
== Gameplay ==
== Championship Mode ==
== Events ==
The game features 20 sporting competitions and 40 minigames for a total of 60 unique events. Every sporting competition includes three different settings and two gameplay variations, creating a total of 160 events in all. Each gameplay variant changes the way the event must be tackled, often changing objectives or adding certain gimmicks, with the default being a "basic" version more akin to the sport's real-life counterpart. Each minigame has only one variant and last for only a few seconds each; these can be compared to the minigames of the Mario Party series.

=== Playable Characters ===
The game features 60 playable characters. These characters are split across four teams of fifteen contestants each: the Scooby Doobies (primarily featuring characters from mystery-based shows), the Yogi Yahooeys (primarily featuring anthropomorphic animals associated with Yogi Bear), the Really Rottens (made up primarily of villainous characters), and a new team named the "Birdman Galaxies" (headed up by Birdman and consisting primarily of characters from superhero or action-based series). Three playable characters on each team, for a total of 12 characters, must be unlocked by playing through Championship Mode.
Not all characters from the original Laff-A-Lympics series return for the video game. Notably the Really Rottens team, which previously consisted almost-entirely of original characters created for Laff-A-Lympics, has been replaced with actual villainous characters from Hanna-Barbera properties with only one exception. Some other characters, such as Grape Ape and , do not return as they would destroy the gameplay balance or could not feasibly participate in all events. Other characters do reappear but as members of different teams; the most notable example of this is Mumbly, who previously served as the captain of the Really Rottens but is now portrayed in a more-heroic light just as in his debut program.
Note: the series listed does not always refer to the series in which the character originated, rather the series that they are representing.
