This thread illustrates one of the core mechanics of the game perfectly.

Each player and named enemy must have their own personal slam jam theme, and it begins playing whenever they roll a SlamJam(crit), obviously a character would get bonuses so long as their slam theme is playing (should be referred to as an "On fire" bonus) until a different player SlamJams and takes the "On Fire" bonus by playing their own Slam Theme

Dribble
Pass
Shoot
Slam

Long ago, the four styles lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Pass Nation attacked. Only the Jamatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Jamatar, a slambender named Barkley. And although his slambending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Barkley can save the world.....

Well the party was made up of a mish mash of character half of them were your basic D&D party the other half were basicly disney characters.
They awoke in the cupboard not knowing each other and the sound of what seems to be apes above them. They push open the cupboard to find themselves in a canyon to them but it was actually a little boys bedroom that had a western Motif. Above them red orangutans flung poo and grenades at them. They soon escaped out of the cupboard and found themselves on a desk and face to face with a world war two army sergeant with an A1 thompson.

Human rogue/fighter who used a magical sock of pennys.
A Gnomish Fairy Hunter.
A Jinn.
A pixie.
An Greek Style Oracle.
And a Dwarven barbarian.

They quickly found the army sargent wasnt unfreindly and were brought into a mouse hole and taken up a ladder made of nails to an airduct and brought to the homes sealed off attic. Inside was a matropolis of toys that were once innanimate now made real. Among them were Optimus prime, A space marine(The boy stole one of his older brothers models) and one or two other key toys now made real.
Given the parties talents they were given training in modern weapons guns and such as to keep up with the Enemy. The great and Mighty Bey (pronounced Bee)

>>24410258
Outfitted with weapons and told to head the the homes Garage to fight the most dangerous foe at hand Charles Barkley. He was more powerful than the great Bea so therefore had his own mighty fortress. They were taken by Apache Helicopter (this kid had some impressive goddamn toys I tell you) through the houses airducts fighting off drones set out by the enemy. (micro machines driven by those tiny star wars figures that came in the playsets that were heads of various characters)
>>
>>24410321
They made it to the doggy door that went into the garage the family not home at this time due to it being a weekday. Oh I forgot to tell you all why they were fighting for. The Cupboard is a powerful magical artifact that any toy put within is made real but stays the same size. They are fighting over the territory of the desk and the boys room. The great bea wishes to take over the home then the neighborhood then the world with powerful technology from other worlds and Optimus prime and the council he leads wishes to return all of the characters to their own worlds. >>24410321
>>
>>24410392
Now back to the action. They are dropped by the doggy door Vietnam style and the fighter/rogue leads the way with two of the characters covering them from a distance with sniper rifles. They soon find that the gerage is a haven for snipers and take out most of them one of them being Cobra Commander and a few others. But once they get under the old car in the garage they realise its a haven for Xenomorphs who have taken a liking the old wiring and pipes. Making their way across this deathtrap to a tool box against the wall. Barkleys fortress that lead into concrete under the garage but as they moved close they noticed strange markings outside of it. A basketball court to you and me.
>>
>>24410445
Oh god here we go.
>>
>>24410445
As they approach a basket ball bounces from the darkness of the tool box. And almost crushes them being a big bigger then them. Barkley rises from the top of it being in once toy form a Todd Mcfarlane action figure so being much larger than the party being gargantuan size compared to them. He challenged The fighter/rogue to a one and one basketball game.

Well, start with stats. Something like;

STRENGTH
SPEED
SPECIAL

On a scale of 1-10 with a 15 point buy using D20 rolls for success.

Each one of those stats can be used for an ACTION, such as, a STRENGTH ACTION, or a SPEED ACTION.

>In example a SPEED ACTION to race the opponent downcourt would be a dc 10 check, +2 dc for every opponent adjacent to your path, and +2 dc if the opponent has a higher SPEED than you. Success means that your MOVE takes priority over everyone else's.
>REACTION ACTION would give extra actions to anyone provoked by your action, such as the aforementioned defensive player choosing to follow you, get in your way, and block your progress. These are done simultaneously, meaning that if your opponent fails their ACTION, you can stay beside them during their turn, or if your SPEED is high enough, even cut them off.
>This means that a lot can happen in just 6 seconds, its a fast paced game unless you choose a slow and non-provoking strategy of attack.

In a comprehensive rulebook, you may want to simply say that "run" or "sprint" is the key word for a movement based SPEED ACTION.

Combining the above stats you can derive SECONDARY STATS

ENDURANCE is STRENGTH + 1/2 SPECIAL
DODGE is SPEED + 1/2 SPECIAL

You also combine stats using PRIMARY plus 2 for a SECONDARY stat greater than 5 for a JAM ACTION

Such as DUNK (Strength [+2 if SPEED >5])
Or SHOOT (Speed [+2 if STRENGTH >5])
Or OVERRUN (Strength [+2 if SPECIAL >5])

The times when SPECIAL is used as a PRIMARY stat can be expanded upon with POWERs.

TRAITs can offer POWERSs or a stat point in exchange for some negative effect. Limit 1 (maybe 2).

The economy of stat points will keep things from getting out of control, dump stats may be punished if you don't play carefully. You will also have to rely on your whole team unless you enjoy DCs getting jacked by +2 +2 +2 +2.

Barkley fell clutching his face the skin falling away revealing dark brooding chaos black scales and a hundred blinking hateful eyes. He roared in hate and snatched the B-Ball away it bounced gaining speed and smashing into the floor cracking the concrete beneath it. It was deafening like the sound of someone getting their skull smashed in with a Victrola. Godzilla stepped into the court checking the ball with barkley and now it was a two on one with the fighter the the king of monsters vs Barkley.

The Portal ripped open and the fires and the endless abyss began to peer into reality. Barkley began to bring the ball down into the hoop and in one final effort of skill godzilla used his tail to spring the fighter for the ball. He with great luck swatted the ball away from the hoop the chaos dunk beginning to collapse. dragging barkley into the fires of the abyss screaming revenge.

>>24410743
The portal rocked the house to its foundations and they all held on for dear life to not get sucked into it. They saw the skin rip from barkleys face revealing a horrible creature that was not of this world or any other. It roared in hate and spoke to each of them in their minds. "My court will be open for you mortals in the darkest pits and I will be waiting..." The portal slammed closed the b-ball bouncing into our reality harmlessly landing against the wall slightly glittering with dark energy the party afraid to touch it godzilla snatched it up and dunked it one last time and let out a mighty SKREEEORNK in victory and stomped off in true king of the monsters fashion into the proverbial sunset leaving the party stunned and confused battered bruised but alive.

It really doesn't matter which dice number you use, just the ratios. I like d20 system because "NAT 20!" is always a fun filled event to witness, and iconic of the gaming community at large.

You can use DCs for tests not targeting players, SECONDARY STATs for player vs player test DCs, and CONTESTED ROLLs for player vs player ACTIONs (such as grabbing a player, including their ball, and dunking them. Or grappling, or pranks)

Looney toon POWERs can be taken from a list or fabricated at character creation, in general becoming more effective based on SPECIAL.

Optionally, for recurring "seasons" or adventures, you can have VETERAN and PRO rankings, giving +1 and then another +1 to something else if the character "levels up"

Also allow for learning of more POWERs if you want a "level up" type system.

Literally any stated action can be performed, and the GM(referree) can decide whether its a raw STAT check, or assign the action type as a JAM ACTION. Allowing for versatability in inclusing all manner of crazy rules, such as shooting MONSTAR teeth out with yosemite sam if you allow guns on a non-POWER basis.

Meanwhile the rulebook will cover all obvious actions and necessary rules.

I actually rewatched it a few weeks ago. It was still great.

You also have to realize that its a period piece. That movie, while little more than a marketing scheme on the surface, was the epitome of the 90s. Crossovers and crass consumerism and sports stars doing things they shouldn't with just a dash of Bill Murray was what the era was all about. I dont know how else to describe it except that the movie was 90s as fuck.
