"Are You Toon Enough?" (filename being g811_v5_92976.swf for its latest version) is a Flash game that was a Neopets sponsorship game. Its primary purpose was to advertise Disney's Toontown Online to users browsing the Neopets website. It was first released on August 30, 2003.[1]
Version covered below: g488_v7_99233 (Work in Progress)
Premise
This Neopets sponsorship game's premise is that the player guides Flippy Doggenbottom as he battles a Mr. Hollywood.
Main Gameplay
The game had three difficulty settings: Easy, Normal, and Hard. The Easy setting offered the player a potential prize of 100 Neopoints, Normal setting offered 200, and Hard offered 300.
The three difficulty settings that were provided upon clicking the "Battle Mr. Hollywood" start button
Upon selecting a setting, the player would get thrown to a screen that heavily resembled the Goofy's Gag Shop Gag purchase menu from the actual game. Here, the player would purchase the gags that they would use to fight the Mr. Hollywood. The player would receive 99 jellybeans to spend, and each gag costed different amounts of jellybeans, unlike how it was in the actual game where every gag costed a singular jellybean. The purchasable gags were Flower Pot, Sandbag, Anvil, Safe, "Piano", Squirting Flower, Glass of Water, "Water Gun", Seltzer Bottle, "Water Hose", "Tart", Fruit Pie Slice, Cream Pie Slice, "Fruit Pie", "Cream Pie", and Birthday Cake. The gags listed with quotations around their names have names that differ slightly from their names in Toontown Onlines gag menu, with the exception of "Tart", whose name differs dramatically from its name in Toontown Online, which is "Cupcake". The Birthday Cake gag had to be unlocked through visiting the Toontown.com/Toontown.co.uk website through the link button provided within the game. Clicking on the link button would give the player 100 Neopoints, and they could click on the link up to three times a day to earn Neopoints.
List of gags and their prices/damage according to the gag menu:
- Flower Pot: Cost = 2 jellybeans, Damage = "4"
- Sandbag: Cost = 5 jellybeans, Damage = "6"
- Anvil: Cost = 8 jellybeans, Damage = "8"
- Safe: Cost = 10 jellybeans, Damage = "10"
- Piano: Cost = 40 jellybeans, Damage = "15"
- Squirting Flower: Cost = 2 jellybeans, Damage = "2"
- Glass of Water: Cost = 4 jellybeans, Damage = "4"
- Water Gun: Cost = 6 jellybeans, Damage = "5"
- Seltzer Bottle: Cost = 10 jellybeans, Damage = "8"
- Water Hose: Cost = 25 jellybeans, Damage = "15"
- Tart: Cost = 2 jellybeans, Damage = "2"
- Fruit Pie Slice: Cost = 6 jellybeans, Damage = "4"
- Cream Pie Slice: Cost = 10 jellybeans, Damage = "6"
- Fruit Pie: Cost = 25 jellybeans, Damage = "8"
- Cream Pie: Cost = 25 jellybeans, Damage = "10"
- Birthday Cake: Cost = Visit the Toontown.com/Toontown.co.uk website to unlock, and costs 50 jellybeans once unlocked, Damage = "20"
The damages are listed with quotations due to the fact that the amount of damage a gag did during gameplay could vary from the amount of damage that the gag menu said. For example, it was possible for a Birthday Cake to do much less than 20 damage, even if player landed their attack accurately. The damages of the gags depended on how accurately the player clicked their mouse to land a green sliding bar in a neon green sweet spot. If the player missed this green sweet spot, their gag would miss entirely. The damages of the Gags also depended on how close the player was to the Mr. Hollywood, as Flippy and the Mr. Hollywood would randomly change positions throughout the battle. The closer the player was to the Mr. Hollywood, the more likely their Gags would do higher damage.

The gags you purchased were the only gags you would get for the entirety of the battle, so the player had to think wisely about which gags they wanted. Strangely, it was possible to purchase zero gags and enter the fight completely unprepared. Entering the fight unprepared would force the player to have to either end the game or lose to the Mr. Hollywood since the player needed gags in order to win. It was also possible to run out of gags in the fight, and if this happened, the player would also be forced to end the game/lose to the Mr. Hollywood in that scenario, so the player had to make sure they bought the necessary amount of the gags in order to defeat the Mr. Hollywood and land their attacks accurately so that few would miss.
The player was not limited to only picking gags during the fight. There was also the option to say something to the Mr. Hollywood, but this option was useless and basically served as a turn pass. The three things you could say were: "You Stink!", "Leave Me Alone!" and literally nothing. Choosing to say nothing would make Flippy's speech bubble display an ellipsis.

In the fight, both Flippy and the Mr. Hollywood had 10 health, an impossible amount of health for a Toon or a Mr. Hollywood to have in Toontown Online. The health amount did not change across difficulty settings. What did change across difficulty settings was the gag-hit sweet spot bar, which became harder to land accurately in harder settings because the bar that the player needed to land would move much faster.
At the end of the fight, other than using the difficulty setting selected, the game would also calculate your score and how many Neopoints out of the maximum potential amount you would get based on how much health you had left. Who won the battle was determined by who had done the most damage. If Flippy did the most damage, then quitting the game would result in a victory message, but if the Mr. Hollywood did the most damage, then quitting the game would result in a losing message. Draws whereas both Flippy and the Mr. Hollywood had the same amount of health upon quitting the game would also result in a losing message.

On the title screen, there was an Instructions page, a link to the Toontown.com/Toontown.co.uk website, and an "About Toontown" page that told the user basic information about Toontown Online.

Trivia
- Out of all of the Neopets sponsorship Toontown games, "Are You Toon Enough?" is the oldest, having been released on the Neopets website the same year that Disney's Toontown Online was released.
- The title of the Cupcake Gag in "Are You Toon Enough?" (title being "Tart") is similar to the name for the Cupcake Gag's model in Toontown Online's files (which is "tart.bam").
