Plot
Taz and She-Devil are hanging out romantically at Taz Island, but are suddenly captured by Yosemite Sam and held captive in Yosemite Zoo. She-Devil is moved to a safer area of the zoo, while Taz escapes from his cage to rescue her. Sam has his "Taz Catcher" workers put up wanted posters to help catch Taz. After going through the zoo's locations and destroying all of the wanted posters, Taz escapes and battles Gossamer in a game of Elephant Pong. When Taz wins, Sam retreats and moves She-Devil again. Taz chases after them, reaching the town of "Sam" Francisco. After Taz evades capture again, he is forced to enter a game show called Gladiatoons to win her freedom.
After beating Daffy Duck, the fellow competitor, Taz is instead transported to the Old West. After gaining access to a mine cart, he finds Sam in an explosives warehouse and battles him. Sam blows up the warehouse, causing Taz to hurl into outer space. After landing back on his island, he finds Sam trying to build a theme park over it. Taz catches up to Sam, attempting to destroy the entire island with explosives, in a volcano. Although Taz defeats Sam, Sam escapes with a jetpack. Taz and She-Devil are raised into Sam's blimp, where Taz discovers that it was Tweety's idea to construct 'Tazland A-maze-ment Park' all along. The two battle, where Taz defeats Tweety by opening the blimp's rear cargo door, pushing the bird out. While She-Devil tries to pilot the blimp, Taz accidentally destroys the control panel, causing the craft to crash on the island. She-Devil hands Taz a broom to clean up, much to Taz's annoyance.
Gameplay
Taz: Wanted has four areas, the first three having the same basic blueprint. There are three levels in each area, each level having seven wanted posters of some variety that must be destroyed with some technique. Once all seven posters are destroyed, a scene will show an area of the level in which something happens that will help Taz get to the new area, such as a gate opening or something breaking. In the new area, Taz gets his hands on something and somehow manages to get it and him back to the HUB. Once the three things are acquired for the area, they can be used to enter a boss arena. The only exception for this is the level Taz Land, in which nothing is brought back, and the final area, with only one level and two bosses. Once the boss is defeated Taz is either blown, shipped, or chased to the next area. To travel between areas, a misplaced door is placed in each one which transports you to Planet X with all the other doors Taz can travel through.
