Cartoon Network Block Party

For the comics, see Cartoon Network Block Party (Comic). Cartoon Network Block Party is a 2004 video game made for the Game Boy Advance. It is a Cartoon Network crossover game which features six Cartoon Network characters from four different series. The game is an arcade-style game similar to Mario Party where the player rolls to move on a playing board and depending on where the player lands performs certain actions, such as staying on that spot, moving a certain number of spaces, or playing a randomly-selected minigame. The main draw is the minigames; winning these is the key to winning the game. The game features four different playing boards (one from each series) and fourteen minigames. The main game mode is for up to four players, although it can be played against a single computer opponent. The minigame mode is single-player only.

Game Boards
On each board, there are a number of spaces that can be landed on. Each of these spaces has a specific purpose:
 * Normal: No effect.
 * Movement: Player moves a certain number of spaces.
 * Purchase: Player has the opportunity to purchase something.
 * Minigame: All players are sent to play a minigame. The winner gets a reward that helps them towards winning the game.
 * Choice: Player gets to choose to take a different track on the board.
 * Roll: Roll again.
 * Reward: Receive a reward.
 * Effect: Something changes in the game.
 * Start: Starting square.

The Tater Farm
Track A Track B Track C Track D
 * Show: Cow and Chicken
 * Purpose: "In order to win the Tater Farm board you must be the first player to collect four porkbutts, then reach the start space! Good luck!
 * Spaces on Board: 33 (main track), 29 (shortest route), 48 (all tracks).

Greased Porkbutts

 * Probable Basis: Cow and Chicken (porkbutts are a favorite food of both Cow and Chicken, similar background, can be seen on The Tater Farm board)
 * Instructions: "Collect as many porkbutts as possible and return them to the pen! Press the A button to pick up a pig. Press the A button to make your opponent drop their pig! Holding the A button gives you a turbo boost."
 * Notes:
 * The player is given 30 seconds to complete the process of picking up a pig and taking it to the finish line as many times as possible. There is a three-second timer after a pig is picked up to return it to the finish line; if the pig is not there before the timer runs out, the player will drop the pig.
 * Because the player does not directly compete against other players in the minigames, but rather against the AI, if the minigame is being played as part of the actual game, the characters that the player competes against in this game are all characters that weren't selected by players. As a result, if there are four players selected, the player will only play against two AI competitors in this game, but if there are three or less selected (or if the game is played as a stand-alone minigame) the player will face three AI competitors.

Aim For The Fences

 * Probable Basis: Ed, Edd n Eddy (similar background)
 * Instructions: "Use the control pad to aim your slingshot, and press the A button to fire a water balloon. If you hit all three players in the quickest amount of time, you win!"
 * Notes:
 * The player has thirty seconds to hit all of the three characters on the fence with a water balloon.
 * When played during a game, this minigame will have a character representing the player, and this character will not appear on the fence. However, because the game is from the player's viewpoint, the player does not select a character when playing it as a selected minigame, and as a result any three characters can appear on the fence as targets in stand-alone mode (but not in regular gameplay mode).

H2 Uh Oh

 * Probable Basis: Ed, Edd n Eddy (similar background)
 * Instructions: "Move left and right to avoid the falling water balloons. Hold the A button to move faster!"

Strike A Pose

 * Probable Basis: Johnny Bravo (Carl as player character, similar background)
 * Instructions: "Follow the button combinations to strike a pose! If you're hit with a pie, you lose!"
 * Notes:

 * There are three possible levels of difficulty; the first requires a four-button sequence for each pose, the second requires an eight-button sequence for each pose, and the hardest level requires a twelve-button sequence for each pose.

 * Instructions: "Use the control pad to steer your mower around the course. Use the A button to accelerate, and the B button to reverse."
 * Notes:
 * There are three laps to race through.
