'''''Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics''''' is a sports video game based upon the animated series ''{{wikipedia|Laff-A-Lympics}}'', which aired from 1977 to 1978 as part of the ''[[wikipedia:Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics|Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics]]'' programming block. As with the television series it is based on, ''Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics'' crosses over characters from a multitude of different franchises created by [[wikipedia:Hanna-Barbera|Hanna-Barbera Productions]] as they participate in a variety of sporting competitions. Unlike the original show however, which featured sporting events that were, for the most part, grounded in reality, the ''Laff-A-Lympics'' video game instead reimagines all sporting events in order to take advantage of the cartoon nature of the original series involved.

The game features 20 sporting competitions and 40 minigames for a total of 60 unique events. Every sporting competition includes three different settings and two gameplay variations, creating a total of 160 events in all. Each gameplay variant changes the way the event must be tackled, often changing objectives or adding certain gimmicks, with the default being a "basic" version more akin to the sport's real-life counterpart. Each minigame has only one variant and last for only a few seconds each; these can be compared to the minigames of the [[mariowiki:Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]].

The game features 50 playable characters. Fourty-eight of these characters are split across three teams of twelve contestants: the Scooby Doobies (primarily featuring characters from mystery-based shows), the Yogi Yahooeys (primarily featuring anthropomorphic animals associated with Yogi Bear), the Really Rottens (made up primarily of villainous characters), and a new team named the "Birdman Galaxies" (headed up by Birdman and consisting primarily of characters from superhero-based series); these characters act as the default characters. An additional two characters can be unlocked through Championship Mode.
   
Not all characters from the original ''Laff-A-Lympics'' series return for the video game.

Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics is a sports video game developed by Existence Software and based upon the animated series Laff-A-Lympics, which aired from 1977 to 1978 as part of the Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics programming block. As with the television series it is based on, Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics crosses over characters from a multitude of different franchises created by Hanna-Barbera Productions as they participate in a variety of sporting competitions. Unlike the original show however, which featured sporting events that were, for the most part, grounded in reality, the Laff-A-Lympics video game instead reimagines all sporting events in order to take advantage of the cartoon nature of the original series involved.

The game features full voice acting for every character. While original recordings are reused for some characters, a majority of the cast receive new portrays provided by their current voice actors. Many characters' voice actors return from the television series Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?, Wacky Races, Jellystone!, and Yabba-Dabba Dinosaurs. Snagglepuss and Mildew Wolf, who originally debuted in The Quick Draw McGraw Show and Cattanooga Cats respectively, serve as the announcers for the competitions and narrate the games.

Events

The game features 20 sporting competitions and 40 minigames for a total of 60 unique events. Every sporting competition includes three different settings and two gameplay variations, creating a total of 160 events in all. Each gameplay variant changes the way the event must be tackled, often changing objectives or adding certain gimmicks, with the default being a "basic" version more akin to the sport's real-life counterpart. Each minigame has only one variant and last for only a few seconds each; these can be compared to the minigames of the Mario Party series.

Characters

Playable Characters

The game features 50 playable characters. Fourty-eight of these characters are split across three teams of twelve contestants: the Scooby Doobies (primarily featuring characters from mystery-based shows), the Yogi Yahooeys (primarily featuring anthropomorphic animals associated with Yogi Bear), the Really Rottens (made up primarily of villainous characters), and a new team named the "Birdman Galaxies" (headed up by Birdman and consisting primarily of characters from superhero-based series); these characters act as the default characters. An additional two characters can be unlocked through Championship Mode.

Not all characters from the original Laff-A-Lympics series return for the video game. Notably the Really Rottens team, which previously consisted almost-entirely of original characters created for Laff-A-Lympics, has been mostly replaced with actual villainous characters from Hanna-Barbera properties. Some other characters, such as Grape Ape, do not return as they would destroy the gameplay balance or could not participate in all events. Other characters do reappear but as members of different teams; the most notable example of this is Mumbly, who previously served as the captain of the Really Rottens but is now portrayed in a more-heroic light.

Note: the series listed does not always refer to the series in which the character originated, rather the series that they are representing.
