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

− | *Every minute a random effect would be applied to your Toon. This includes: |

− | **Turning back to your regular Toon |

− | **Turning into [[Roger Dog]] |
||
− | **Turning into a [[Big Toon]] |

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]]. |

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. |
