Party Down with TEN YEARS of Toontown's Cartoonival!
Posted by Riggy Marole on September 19, 2024 at 2:00 PM
Howdy, Toons! It’s the host-est with the most-est, the blue-haired hare, the guy dat’s had this day marked on his calendar since last September… Riggy Marole! At least, I think it’s the right day. Let me check my massive pocket watch. Hmmm…
Holy SHMOKES!! We’ve been at dis Cartoonival charade for ten whole years! Dat’s almost a century! That must be some kinda special record we broke – y’know, partyin’ for so long. This calls for something special. Nay. Something astronomical!
I’d like to thank my maw and paw, dey told me I could party for ten years, and I didn’t believe ‘em. Look at me now. Of course, it wasn’t just me who made it all possible (but who could blame ya for thinking so). It was all you Toons who kept the loony spirit alive all this time! What with all your cannon firin’ and your pie tossin’, we could go for another ten years! Fifty! Three-thousand! Can you just feel the excitement, folks? Only two-thousand nine-hundred ninety years to go!
Meet Your Host
I know ya know me already, but I introduce myself every year and I’m a rabbit of habit. The name’s Riggy Marole, and I’m somethin’ of a party mastermind. Nobody in Toontown’s got the games I got – fishin’ games, cannon games, dunk tank games, trampoline games, game games. You names it, I gots it set up at the festival grounds. So step on up, grab a friend, and get to playing! The more the merrier! If you’re new, come on up to me, I’ll give youse the grand tour!
Win Prizes!
What good’s a party without party favors? Trick question – it’s NOT a party without favors. And the most favorable centerpiece of dem all, the Cartoonival Tower, has all the favors you can shake a one-legged seltzer bottle at! Yes siree, she’s a ting o’ beauty. Raised her myself, ever since she was just a little plank of wood.
There’s lotsa Token Takers in the Tower and around the Cartoonival Grounds just waiting for Toons to redeem some prime, bee-yoo-tiful prizes with tokens dey earn from playin’ games. These include -- making their curtain calls for the first time, based off your Melodyland favorites -- the new Symphonic Outfit & Tie! Just try not to burst into song when ya redeem this stuff (seriously, I might just upstage ya).
Some of those aforementioned Token Takers told me Cog Promotion Experience Multipliers couldn't be done anymore. However, you can still nab some Gag Experience Multipliers! And now (coming to you LIVE with some other Gag-related news), debuting this Cartoonival, you can use Tokens to purchase some fancy Level 7 gags (provided you have the experience to use 'em). So, what are ya waitin’ for?!
PHEW! Alright, enough about me (as if there is such a ting). I’m gonna get back to hosting dis party now. I’m gonna let these other folks here take the spotlight, but only for a wee bit.
A Lookback
Aaaaaand… that’s a wrap on ten Toontastic years of Toontown Rewritten! Thank you for the spiel, Riggy. And thank you all so much for making this as wacky, zany, and bombastically funny a year as ever during the Toontown RewritTEN celebration!
On September 19, 2013, Toontown’s days were to be over, but this community had other plans and now over 10 years later, we continue to celebrate this day not as one of loss, but one of triumphant rebirth. Without all of you, none of it would be possible. So, sincerely, thank you all. You’ve proven you ARE Toon Enough.
Throughout this year, we’ve also been busy working to keep that joyous spirit thriving as well! But what kinda stuff, you may ask?
- We saw the first ever Cartoonival Cavalcade, where the one and only Riggy Marole took to the Toontown streets to lead a parade that everyone can join!
- Following the declaration of a Toontown fashion emergency, all clothing and eye styles were unlocked for all Toons!
- Under New Management, a major expansion featuring new Cog Supervisors, revised Cog Facilities, and Gag balancing was unleashed!
- We hosted ToonFest: The Great Fanfair at GalaxyCon Oklahoma City!
- And on June 2, 2024, we celebrated Toontown’s 21st Birthday!
Looking Forward (…and RIGHT NOW!)
Wait a minute, there’s more stuff? Yes! We’ve also spent the year making tremendous progress behind the scenes on some exciting projects, including one that is being released today!
- ToonFest is coming to GalaxyCon at Columbus, Ohio later this year, AND to GalaxyCon Animate! at Orlando, Florida in 2025!
- We’ll slowly be peeling back the cloud to discover Clear Coasts, the one-stop sandy, sunshiny, beach-tacular getaway spot for Toons to take it easy.
- Toontown Remastered, a reinvigoration of Toontown’s visuals, audio, and backend is on its way. In fact, it’s so on its way, our upgrades to Donald’s Dreamland and Cashbot HQ are now available in-game! No, really! You can see for yourself!
Thanks again for the marvelous 10th-anniversary celebration, Toons! You make all this possible every day, and it’s a rare privilege and feat we have as a community that we’ve kept Toontown alive and thriving all this time! Toons of the World, Unite!

Riggy Marole my beloved
I’m really happy and grateful for ten years of cartoonival! Excited to see what comes next for all Toons.
Wish you could have kept the merry multipliers for promo, even if reduced to x1.5 instead of x2. Waited for Toonfest even after the new cog facility update so I could continue leveling my cheese suit in BBHQ at a quicker pace cause even with the final fringe change it's just as painful to get Stock Options. I waited 4+ months, just for you to say "nah, son." You could have let us know in advance this was going to happen so those of us waiting it out wouldn't be disappointed on a day that's supposed to be exciting and would have already been given time to accept the change. </3 Other than that single set back, i'm enjoying all the stuff Cartoonival is offering this year. :-) Loving the HD texture revamp and the new DDL Playground, very excited for the upcoming Clear Coasts!
ONE, TWO, THREE, HUP! ONE, TWO, THREE... wait, when the heck is the Cavalcade? Anyways, Darla Dog's gonna love this. Dottie & Dud... not so much.
this party is awesome and it's my very first year participating in this and happy ten years cartoonival
How do I get Toontown Remastered? Also, please can you address the game sever issues, I'm still experiencing connection problems
Hey I just wanna say thank you guys so much for keeping this game alive. I hope it will be around for my kids one day to enjoy.
Absolutely Toontastic! Riggy is funny
No codes for this cartoonival???
Thanks for another fun filled Cartoonival this year, TTR Team!
I'm so excited to check it out! Thank you TTR team!
Woo Hoo! That's so cool! Just so you know, I didn't read this at just this moment, I read it on the 19th, but I forgot to comment. Anyways, I'm going to answer you questions. Not Dudley Dog, you asked when the cavalcade is, but it already came yesterday at Walrus Way! Werecat, don't be so sad, because they DID warn us that they were going to remove them in https://toontownrewritten.com/news/item/900/prepare-to-par-tay-at-the-cartoonival I am a bit sad too, but more grinding equals more chances at getting those sweet, sweet, rare drops! Sheriff Moe Crunchenzap, Toontown Remastered may sound like a new Toontown server, but it's just a project getting added to Rewritten one playground at a time! On the 19th, they revamped Donald's Dreamland, so if you want Remastered... Take a trip to Donald's Dreamland! Harmony Of The Cosmos, I am not sure about this question... Ah, but they'll probably release some codes soon. They did however, release a new outfit based off of the Toony-winning outfit design, Symphonic Outfit & Tie! I may or may not be answering more questions when they come, but... TTFN!
There are no Cartoonival codes this year? :( okay.
I agree with Werecat, I think the promotion exp should've been kept. It's not very encouraging for toons who want to level their suits. I would say that's the primary reason I enjoy cartoonival, on top of the clothing and accessories.
Man, 10 years ago... I remember getting home from school excited to try and join in on Toonfest. Of course, for the first couple of days the servers weren't having it! But those were good times all the same :)
Why are there no codes this year? this is ten years TEN YEARS of cartoonaval and no codes???
Emboss, they might have codes sometime soon! Don't be impatient!
I love Cartoonival! I was so excited this year! Then to my disappointment its was just a copy and paste from last year, on top of that, no new backpack type quest, no new items in the tower just 1 new outfit that could have just been added to the Cattlelog honestly. and i cannot even get the token unite quests because it says i have to finish my other tasks 1st. The only task i have in my tasks is the 4 star, i dont feel that i should have to complete that task to enjoy this event. I was just way too hyped for basically nothing :( hopefully next years will be a little bit different.
Hooray for ten years of Cartoonival!
Anonymous Toon, I feel for you. And the saddest thing is that the token task isn't there isn't because you haven't finished your Toontasks, it's because... I don't know. I tried too! I finished my Toontask just to get the token unites, but it wouldn't pop up! I assumed it was because I hadn't finished the fluffy backpack token task yet (even though I finished it last year), but I tried again and nothing! I reported it to support, but they still haven't responded! Hopefully they'll respond soon.
Oh boy, I'm sure having fun at the Cartoonival! My favorite part's the Cavalcade, in which I like to drive my car! (And disobey the laws of physics* by jumping up and down and spinning around and "zooming around" inside and out of my car.)Thanks for adding in the Symphonic Outfit and congratulations to Prof. Bananas! I wonder if there's gonna be another partnerfest? Looking forward to it! *Not that physics even mean a darn thing in a cartoon world anyway. XD
And Riggy, if ya need more crocs to help out, I'd be happy to help! I always thought I'd make a good carny. "Roll up, roll up!" Heh.
Toontown Rewritten team has doing great back to back!
