Create-A-Toon
Create-A-Toon, also known as Make-A-Toon, is the creation process for their player's very own toon to play with. As such, anyone can create a Toon, but some Toon species are exclusive only to subscribed players. After creating a toon, the toon proceeds to the Toontorial (new accounts are required to enter), or head straight to Toontown Central when chosen to skip.
Gender
A toon can have its own gender by clicking on the blue for male or pink for female toons. The dog logo shows when the player picks one.
There is a slight difference between toons: females have eyelashes and can wear skirts, while males have some exclusive shorts to wear.
Toon species
There is a total of nine different species to choose from. However, three of these species are only available to subscribed players: the monkey, the horse, and the bear.
A toon can also have its distinct design. All species have a very different design to choose from.

Colors
- Main article: Toon colors
There are several colors for toons to choose from. Toons will start out in the Create-A-Toon with one overall color, but later, different colors can be chosen. Different colors are possible for every section of the toon's body. Clicking on the shuffle button results on getting a random mix of colors on the toon.
Clothes
- Main article: Clothes
Every toon needs clothes. All species have the same selection of clothes. All colors for shirts and pants are the same as the colors for Toons. All starter shirts have two designs. They are for both male and female:
There are three different types of starter bottoms. Different genders have different bottoms:
- Only male Toons can have pants with a buckle.
- Only female Toons can have skirts.
- In the old Create-A-Toon, there used to be a wider selection of clothing.
Naming
- Main article: Name Generator
A toon can be named through two different methods: Pregenerated names through Pick-A-Name or custom-entry names through Type-A-Name.
The Pick-A-Name menu contains prechosen names given by Toontown. These names are auto-accepted and do not have to go through the Toon Council name approval process.
Type-A-Name is another way a Toon can be named. However, names that do not fall under a Pick-A-Name pattern will have to undergo review by Toon Council. Thus, a Toon whose name hasn't been approved yet will have a placerholder name based around color of the Toon's head and the species they chose, ie: Orange Cat, Royal Blue Dog.
Trivia
- Mice have the least amount of head designs to choose from, having only two.
- In the original Create-A-Toon, the toon used to start out gray with no clothes on. This was removed when Create-A-Toon was revamped.
- There are exactly 12,284,338,176 combinations that a starter toon can choose from. Most of these combinations come from different colors of toons and clothes.
- Originally, Mickey and Minnie guided toons through the creation process, guiding boy toons and girl toons respectively. This was removed on August 27, 2009.[1]
- When someone creates a new account, they are required to enter the Toontorial. However, older accounts (or newer accounts trying to create another toon) can choose to skip the Toontorial.
- The song that plays here, "The New Toon in Town", is the longest song in the game, being roughly three minutes long.
- Even though Minnie and Mickey no longer appear in Create-A-Toon, they are still present in the Toontorial.
- There used to be a glitch that would not allow the player to use Type-A-Name when they pressed Cancel after typing a name. Every name after that would pop up "Sorry, that name will not work."
- In the original Create-A-Toon, pre-generated names had to be approved by the Toon Council.
- Originally, certain color options were limited by gender. For instance, boy toons could not be pink or wear pink clothes and girl toons could not be blue or wear blue clothes. These limitations were eventually removed.
- It was once planned for there to be a feature in the Create-A-Toon that allowed for Toons to have a variety of different body shapes and parts based on different animal species. For instance, this feature would have allowed for a Toon to have a dog head mixed with the body and/or feet of a duck (or any other implemented species). However, this feature was scrapped early on in Toontown Online's development. A few remnants of this feature can be seen in other aspects of the game, such as Flippy's full name (with the "Doggenbottom" being a reference to the concept of being able to make a Toon with the lower torso of a dog).[2]
