Although Super Stars is the semi-successor to the Looney Tunes Golden Collection series, the true successor to the Golden Collection is the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection. However, unlike the Platinum Collection, there are no special features in the Super Stars series. While other volumes were planned, no further releases were made after 2013.Jerry Beck, on Stu Show 11. The Pepe Le Pew: Zee Best of Zee Best and the Sylvester & Hippety Hopper: Marsupial Mayhem DVDs are now the only home media releases from Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment to have a major Looney Tunes character's (and two minor Looney Tunes characters') entire filmography featured.

Notes According to Jerry Beck, the reason the two Bunny and Claude cartoons were included on the DVD was for filler. While the set claims that all the cartoons on the set are "remastered for the first time into pristine, first-run condition," Wagon Heels and Boobs in the Woods were previously released restored on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 5 DVD and the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 1 DVD, respectively. In addition, One Meat Brawl uses an unrestored USA 1995 dubbed version transfer and Ant Pasted uses the 1998 dubbed version transfer, hence the cue marks at the iris out and the closing of the rings. A restored version of One Meat Brawl was released on Looney Tunes Collector's Choice: Volume 2 Blu-ray. On the back of the DVD, photos of Tick Tock Tuckered, Daffy Doodles, and Nothing but the Tooth are shown—however, these cartoon aren't actually included on the DVD. Tick Tock Tuckered was released on Looney Tunes Super Stars' Daffy Duck: Frustrated Fowl. Daffy Doodles appears as an extra on the DVD of the Warner Bros. movie My Reputation, using the 1995 USA dubbed version transfer, and was later released in a restored form on the Looney Tunes Collector's Choice: Volume 1 Blu-ray; Nothing but the Tooth was released on the Looney Tunes Collector's Vault: Volume 3 Blu-ray. The PAL version of the DVD includes One Meat Brawl with the red borders at the opening titles as it was sourced from the 1995 PAL Dubbed Version print. Ant Pasted 1953 English audiotrack on PAL DVD release is played with low-pitched audio.
Sylvester & Hippety Hopper: Marsupial Mayhem
Looney Tunes Super Stars' Sylvester & Hippety Hopper: Marsupial Mayhem is a DVD featuring 18 newly remastered cartoons. It is the final release in the Super Star series, due to poor sales of Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 2 and the depletion of the remastering budget for new-to-DVD Looney Tunes shorts. This release features all 18 of Sylvester's pairings with Hippety Hopper and/or his son, Sylvester Jr. The DVD was released on April 23, 2013.
All cartoons in this collection star Sylvester, and co-star either Hippety Hopper and/or Sylvester Jr. All are directed by Robert McKimson, except for Goldimouse and the Three Cats, which was directed by Friz Freleng.
