New Toonland (aka Cartoon World) is the second world of Gex and is heavily based on American Saturday morning cartoons.
Background[]
"Toon Town this ain't! GEX battles cheesy characters from crack-of-dawn Saturday a.m. cartoons. Retired heroes and out-of-work 'toon slouchers line up to take a swipe at GEX. There's nothing like getting a safe dropped on your head. Itchy & Scratchy, eat each other's heart out!" -Manual excerpt.
Gex arrives in the myriad environments of New Toonland, having to scale two tall towers, journey through a cartoonish city and a wacky planet in order to reach the Flatulator. Gex must defeat him to get the remote for Feeding Frenzy. There are three levels (plus one optional level) to be completed.
Some of the cartoonish elements present in New Toonland.
Setting and inspiration[]
New Toonland is clearly inspired by Saturday-morning cartoons and animation in the style of Looney Tunes, Ren & Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, Tom & Jerry, The Jetsons, The Smurfs, DC superheroes, among many others. It features exaggerated cartoon gags, such as anvils and pianos falling from the sky, exploding dynamite sticks and enemies which attack by popping out their eyes in characteristic cartoonish fashion.
