Air Hockey Scramble is a Cartoon Network sports game based on the popular game of air hockey. It offers the player Quick Game and Tournament modes. The player can also unlock 16 special mallet or paddle artwork designs by scoring a specific number of times.
With Quick Game, the player selects their favorite Cartoon Network character as an avatar and another character as their opponent. Popular characters include Craig from "Craig of the Creek," Darwin from "The Amazing World of Gumball," Bugs Bunny from "Looney Tunes Cartoons," and Panda from "We Baby Bears." To unlock every character, they must play a specific number of matches. The player wins if they score six goals before their opponent. With Tournament mode, they select their avatar and then play up to six matches against characters selected by the game.
The player must use a lot of caution during play. The mallet isn't easy to direct because the cursor can slide too far off the table and stop working. The player can also accidentally score a goal for the other character by knocking the puck into their own goal zone.
Air Hockey Scramble also features special boosters. For example, during the player's turn, they can touch a star labeled with a question mark to double the number of pucks or expand the size of the puck.
