Changes: April Toons Week

Revision as of 19:26, 14 April 2019

April Toons Week is an annual event that begins on April 1st and ends on April 8th. The first week of April marks the time where Toontown's silly levels rise at grand proportions. The event is based on April Fools' Day, which is celebrated in many countries on the first day of April.

The most common form of silliness that tends to occur during April Toons Week is lack of gravity. However, there is no telling of how silly Toontown may get each year. The list of Silly Surges that have occurred throughout the years have been identified below.

Silly Surges

2014: In-game:

McQuack randomly drops a Grand Piano on Toons walking in the streets and says "Whoops! My bad!"^[1]
Roger Dog was one of the many jumbled cheesy effects.

Sir Max changes a Toontown community website called Toonbook to "Maxbook", accompanied by many of his selfies as avatars among users.

ToonFest returns for a limited time renamed as Barbecue Headquarters.^[2]
All Toons and buildings in the playgrounds lose gravity for the first time. The ToonFest Tower also loses gravity.^[3]

2016

The game's opening theme and Pick-a-Toon background are brand new for the first time.
All Toons and buildings in the playgrounds lose gravity.
For the first time, Scientoons from Loony Labs open up the Pet Shops to temporarily house a Silly Meter prototype and offer limited-time ToonTasks for exclusive clothing.^[4]
Toon Statues from the estates dance endlessly for the first time.

2017

All Toons and buildings in the playgrounds lose gravity.
Scientoons from Loony Labs open up the Pet Shops.
Toon Statues from the estates dance endlessly.
Fluffy appears in multiple buildings across the streets in search of Flippy.^[5]

2018: In-game:

All Toons and buildings in the playgrounds lose gravity.
Toon Statues from the estates dance endlessly.
Silly Particles increase at a limit of 50 for Toons to collect, and are worth double in value.^[6]

Social media:

On April 1st, the Cogs take over Toontown Rewritten's social media platforms and send messages under the guise of "Toon HQ".

2019

Trivia

There was bug that caused some Toons to experience the wacky effects changing every 3 seconds rather than every minute like it was supposed to, which has since been fixed.
"Big Legs" and "No Color" were the only cheesy effects that did not take place during the event in 2014.
Unlike other cheesy effects, the Green Toon, Pumpkin Head, and Snowman Head do not take part in this event. In 2014, the only special effect that took part in the event was Roger Dog.
The blog post titled "When Gravity Falls" is a pun off of a Disney show called Gravity Falls that Joey likes.
The Pick-a-Toon background has the shape of a pig's head rather than Mickey's head, as well as an upside down text and a mashup of new colors.
According to Joey, the April Toons Week theme was inspired by Weirdmageddon from Gravity Falls.
It is possible to jump onto buildings whenever they are floating, as Toons also lose gravity and can jump higher.
April Toons Week previously caused jumbled Toon sounds and cheesy effects. Since April 6, 2019, they had been removed from the event based on community feedback.

-===2014===
-*Gravity everywhere in Toontown was lowered, allowing Toons to jump higher.

-*Toons would have a random Toon species sound each play session rather than their own species.

+The most common form of silliness that tends to occur during April Toons Week is [[Gravitational anomalies|lack of gravity]]. However, there is no telling of how silly Toontown may get each year. The list of Silly Surges that have occurred throughout the years have been identified below.
-===2015===
-*The same features from 2014 such as gravity being lowered and random effects returned. The gravity was lowered at all [[playgrounds]], [[Barbecue Headquarters]], and the [[estate]].
-*Barbecue Headquarters (or BBQHQ) was released. This was a prank by the team that made Toons think that [[Bossbot Headquarters]] was being released. However, the dark-charcoal tunnel led to [[ToonFest 2014|ToonFest]] renamed as Barbecue Headquarters. Just like ToonFest, both [[Flippy]] and [[Fluffy]] remain at the [[Flippy's Pie Stand|pie stand]]. Flippy wore a [[Chef's Chapeau]] at the time, and mentioned the continued efforts of [[Team LHAAFBBHQ]].
-*Similar to 2014, Toons would have a random Toon species sound. The only difference being it changed whenever a new area was entered. However, Toons could still get random species sounds without entering a new area.

The update brought the addition of floating buildings, due to "Gravitational Mishaps" and "Silly Levels" being too high. The buildings affected were [[Toon Hall]], [[Toontown Library]], [[Toontown Bank]], the [[ToonFest Tower|BBQ Tower]], and the [[Toon Headquarters]] in every other playground. Toons would also be able to jump higher in playgrounds until the gravity turned on again and all the buildings would go back down.

However, inside the Pet Shop was [[Professor Prepostera]] (Toontown Central only), [[Doctor Dimm]], and the [[Silly Meter]]. Talking to Professor Prepostera in the Toontown Central Pet Shop would allow you to do special [[Loony Labs ToonTasks]] that reward you the [[Loony Labs Shirt]] and [[Cog Buster Outfit]].
