This page lists release notes for Toontown Rewritten pertaining to updates that were released during the year of 2021.
April
April 1, 2021 [ttr-live-v2.8.0]
General
- • Added two all-new Trolley games -- “Spotlight Search” and “Doodle Roundup”!
- • Removed the long-standing "ghost dock" issue prevalent throughout all of Toontown. The only ghost that we need is the ghost ship in Donald's Dock!
- • Doctor Surlee re-stabilized the Toon-space Contoonuum, and all shopkeepers have been reverted back to their appearance in v2.6.8. Shep Ahoy is happy to be a horse once more!
- • Gag Shop Clerks will no longer ask you "Need more time to think?" before the timer reaches zero, causing your Toon to get stuck.
- • Fixed a bug where partially obscured NPC chat bubbles would be un-clickable, and force you to interact with the chat on the HUD. Now, NPC chat bubbles must be fully obscured before they appear on the HUD.
- • Facility Cogs no longer all talk over each other when you enter a facility battle.
- • When creating a new Toon in the Toontorial, you will no longer receive start-up messages from the game (invasion messages, special event messages, etc.)

- • Addressed loading issues with tunnel street signs.
- • Fixed over a dozen different crash issues across the game.
April Toons Week
- • There's no predicting what silliness might happen during April Toons Week! Loony Labs gave us a list of their predictions, which means at least *some* of the release notes in this section are real... Which ones? We'll let you be the judge of that!
- • Fluffy has arrived with an all-new ToonTask, featuring the Emergency Cream Pie Pack as a reward! A Toon named Wess designed this accessory as part of our Accessory Design Contest at a previous in-person ToonFest!
- • Fluffy has also dug up some old supplies of the Cog Buster outfit, and is offering a more challenging ToonTask in exchange for it.
- • Re-implemented the long-standing “ghost dock” issue prevalent throughout all of Toontown.
- • Repurposed ghost docks for dock parkour, or as we like to call it, “dockour”.
- • Created a randomly-appearing bouncy beach ball for Playground fun. Don’t let it bounce away!
- • The Donald’s Dreamland pillow is now accessible -- and acts as a giant trampoline!
- • Donald’s Dock has been drained! Too bad for that ghost ship...
- • De-stabilized the dock-time continuum.
- • All ponds are now a perfectly reflective mirror. This requires high-end ray-tracing capable hardware.
Accessibility

- • Implemented an all-new ring model in the Ring Game to improve visibility for vision-impaired players.
Visuals

- • Upgraded the iconic pie model with a higher-quality texture and general fixes.

Known Bugs

- • As of the 2.7.0 update, the ability for Content Packs to include custom battle music for each area has bugged, and sometimes custom textures are applied inconsistently. We’re aware of this bug and a fix will be available in a future update.
April 6, 2021 [ttr-live-v2.8.0b]
- • Over the past few days, we've released several smaller hotfixes to the game. To make it easier for YOU to keep track of, we're going to start adding a letter to game versions that have been hotfixed. Welcome to ttr-live-v2.8.0b!
General
- • Sometimes, the game insists that the 'Server is temporarily unavailable' when you can see people running around. This long-standing issue has been fixed!
- • When in Chip n' Dale's MiniGolf, the Shticker Book's map used to offer you to go "Back to Cog HQ." While Acorn Acres is certainly like no other Playground, it's not a Cog HQ. The button now properly offers to go "Back to Playground."
- • Ever seen your friends teleport around while running in Trolley Games? How about a jittery crane in the C.F.O. Battle? We've improved our smoothing in a bunch of areas around town.
- • Fixed a rare crash related to entering Cog elevators.
- • The Photo Album in your Shticker Book got several improvements to reduce crashing.
- • While Cog Goons and Karts may be two totally different things, neither of them were always cleaning up properly. That ends today!
- • "Stop using deprecated methods!", our log files once said. Those requests have been silenced, making log files easier to read.
- • While dynamic music is nice when jumping in water, it would sometimes leave your music shockingly quiet. Music levels are now more consistent.
- • A certain someone in Loony Labs slipped on multiple banana peels in a row, breaking the Silly Stats page. The damage has been repaired!
Accessibility
- • The recently added auto-jump feature will now jump over small obstacles like the lava in Cashbot Mints.
April 8, 2021 [ttr-live-v2.8.0c]
General
- • Addressed several cases of district reset bugs.
- • Rejoice! Teleporting to friends that are running down a Street while in a different District will no longer send you to the grey. While that's quite the setup, this happened more than you'd think.
- • Teleporting to a friend in your Estate exterior from your house's interior will no longer remove you from the estate. While that's also quite the setup, this also happened more than you'd think!
- • You'll no longer get stuck if you talk to a Shopkeeper within a second of another Toon talking to them.
Trolley
- • Toon Tag, the game that started it all, has gotten some significant improvements to make the gameplay smoother. Other Toons should no longer jitter around, and tagging should feel more consistent.

General
- • Fixed an obscure crash related to switching between Districts.
MiniGolf
- • The Evil Golf Balls have retreated from Toontown, and MiniGolf is now fixed! You should no longer experience physics-defying shenanigans on the MiniGolf courses.

Sellbot Field Offices

- • Defeating The Boiler and powering down the Annex will earn you a few varying types of Cog Remote Controls -- brand new to Toontown! Remote Controls let you seize control of a Cog in battle, causing area-of-effect damage or Toon-Ups!
Sellbot Task Force
- • The main ToonTask line has been expanded! After earning your Bossbot Cog Disguise, visit any Toon HQ Officer to pick up the next ToonTask. Whispering Willow has gotten word around town about your skills...
- • A brand new Hideout has been constructed in the sewers beneath Sellbot HQ! Anyone who proves to the Toon Resistance that they have what it takes can join their ranks and enter this new area.
- • After joining the Resistance, you'll get access to a new Shticker Book page to keep track of your Resistance Rank.
- • Resistance Rank is a new form of progression to Rank-Up and earn rewards by completing ToonTasks in the Hideout!
- • Laff Boosts and dozens of new accessory and clothing options can be earned by Ranking Up!
- • The maximum Laff Points has been raised to 139! A little birdie told us that one more Laff Boost will be available in a future update, bringing the maximum Laff Points to 140.
Battles
- • Introducing a new battle mechanic: Status Effects! Status Effects can apply unique effects to battle members for multiple rounds. Check out the Sellbot Task Force website for a look at some of the effects you may encounter!
- • We’ve rebuilt the internal battle systems from scratch to support all of the new features you’ll find in Sellbot Field Offices, as well as have the flexibility to support future content!
- • You are now able to access your Friends List and open up Toon and Cog Panels during battles. Because of this, the option to "Call a Friend" in battle has been removed.
- • As a result of the above change, the battle timer has been moved to the bottom right of the game window.
- • The battle timer has been increased in all battles to 30 seconds, to allow more time for communication.
- • You can now hover over a teammate's gag choice to see stats about their selection, including the damage it will do. This works for SOS Cards as well!
- • Invasion Double Experience credit is now counted as you use your gags, rather than only being considered if an invasion was active at the end of a Cog Battle or Cog Building.
- • Varying types of Credit Multipliers now show up more consistently in your Battle Menu.

- • Cog Buildings no longer will bring in Cog Reserves in order of their level. Instead, various levels will be mixed together.
- • Made visual improvements to Cog attack names in battle movies.
- • Fixed a long-standing bug that caused Cog name tags and shadows to appear misaligned with the position of the Cog.
- • Patched a long-standing issue that would cause Toons to stop animating when joining battles.
Battle Menu
- • The Cog Battle menu has been re-imagined! We worked hard to preserve the classic feeling of Toontown battles while introducing modern elements and improved usability.
- • Pink Slips and the all-new Cog Remote Controls have been grouped up together alongside SOS Cards and Doodle Tricks in a new unified menu.
- • This new design carries over into the Shticker Book, where "Gags" and "SOS Cards" have been merged into a single "Inventory" page.
Balancing
- • We've balanced many aspects of battles this update. A summary of the changes is listed below, but we recommend checking out toon.town/balancing to see the full reasoning that went into these changes!
- • Decreased Level 12 Cog health very slightly. Level 13+ Cogs use a different formula to determine their health.
- • Decreased healing power of the Pixie Dust: 60 / 70 -> 50 / 60
- • Decreased healing power of the Juggling Cubes: 90 / 120 -> 75 / 105
- • Increased base damage of the Trapdoor: 60 / 70 -> 75 / 85
- • Increased base damage of the Railroad: 195 -> 200
- • Decreased the amount of lure rounds of the Presentation: 15 -> 8
- • Increased base accuracy of the Presentation: 90% -> 95%
- • Increased base damage of the Safe with a new damage range: 60 -> 60 / 70
- • Increased healing amount to Toon-Up SOS: 45 (3 Star), 70 (4 Star), 124 (5 Star) -> 60 (3 Star), 120 (4 Star), 180 (5 Star)
- • Increased damage of Trap SOS: 50 (3 Star), 70 (4 Star) -> 60 (3 Star), 120 (4 Star)
- • Decreased the amount of lure rounds of the 5 Star Lure SOS: 15 -> 5
- • Adjusted the damage of Sound SOS: 40 (3 Star), 50 (4 Star), 80 (5 Star) -> 35 (3 Star), 55 (4 Star), 75 (5 Star)
- • The carrying capacity of Trap Gags has been changed for parity with other gag tracks.
- • Toon-Up Unites have been rebalanced to be in a tighter range to be more fair and desirable across the board: 10, 20, 40, 80, Max -> 20, 35, 50, 65, 80
- • Multiple boss rewards now have lower caps. All Unites now have a cap of 100, while Pink Slips now have a cap of 200. You will not be able to receive any more rewards beyond these caps, but your current reward amounts will not be forcibly taken away until May 31st, 2022.
- • Toon-Up Unites and Gag-Up Unites now have a three minute cooldown that applies to both types of Unites at the same time after using either one. When joining battles, this time-based cooldown converts into a round-based Status Effect, where every minute left on your cooldown adds an additional round to that effect.
- • Toons Always Hit SOS Cards have been replaced with Toon Accuracy Up SOS Cards, which apply a 75% Accuracy Up Status Effect, and cap at the standard 95% maximum accuracy. This effect now only applies to Toons that were in the battle when it was used, but lasts a round longer than it used to on each tier.
- • Cogs Always Miss SOS Cards have been replaced with Cog Accuracy Down SOS Cards, which apply a 75% Accuracy Down Status Effect, and stop at the new standard 5% minimum accuracy. This effect now only applies to Cogs that were in the battle when it was used, but lasts a round longer than it used to on each tier.
- • Single Track Restock SOS Cards now only restock a maximum of 12 Gags.
- • Restock All SOS Cards now only restock a maximum of 45 Gags.
- • Single Track Gag-Up Unites now only restock a maximum of 7 Gags.
- • Gag-Up All Unites now only restock a maximum of 30 Gags.
- • Removed the Lure Stacking Rounds mechanic that allowed the accumulation of Lure rounds being in effect if multiple Lure Gags are used simultaneously.
- • Trap SOS Cards will now only target Cogs that have vacant spots to place Traps -- they will not place Traps on lured or already trapped Cogs.
- • If there are active Trap gags on Cogs, and a Railroad gag is placed in a subsequent round by itself, it will override the previously placed Trap gags rather than fizzling out.
- • Removed the Carryover Damage mechanic from Version 2.0 Cogs. Any excess same-track gag damage will be nullified, respawning the Skelecog in full health.
- • Group Bonus Damage from a Level 7 gag will now only apply to the individual Cogs that were hit by both a Level 1 - 6 gag and a Level 7 gag.
- • The C.E.O. battle now rewards one additional Pink Slip per difficulty level.
Boarding Groups
- • You can now form Boarding Groups for Cog Buildings on streets, as well as the new Sellbot Field Offices! Just stand near the elevator you'd like to enter and look for the arrow on the left side of your screen.
- • You must now start a boarding group through the available menu on the left side of your screen before inviting another player.
- • After careful consideration, we've made a few design changes to Boarding Groups to encourage healthier gameplay and a better experience for new players who don't know how to use them. To form a Boarding Group, you must now stand next to the elevator of the facility you would like to enter. Additionally, to enter the facility, the leader of your Boarding Group must enter the Elevator instead of pressing the "GO" button. We know that some players may be disappointed with this change, but please give it a shot! We believe it will create a much better experience for everyone by making it more apparent which facilities Toons are trying to enter, as well as encourage level exploration in a way that has been lost over the years in Cog HQs.

- • The button to open the toon detail panel is no longer clickable when the toon detail panel is already open.
- • Due to the lengthy amount of time this expansion has been development, there are even MORE changes that we can't even remember! In general, you should notice improved stability, polish, and quality of life features around Toontown.
