So me and some friends beat Teleroboxer... kinda? Not really, but I'll tell you how it went down.

My one friend (OpticalAmbush on NA here) wanted to play VB at my friends house and Teleroboxer was one of the games there to play. So me and Optical got our asses kicked for a bit but then we started to make progress...

I beat the first boxer.
I also beat the second boxer (after a bunch of tries, was about ready to give up) then I tried the next boxer but gave up after one fight and needed a break.
Optical stepped in and beat the third boxer.
Optical also beat 4th boxer (in one try, awesome),
and the 5th boxer as well.
I tried the 6th boxer and was getting my ass kicked hard. Another guy hanging out with us decided to try the VB for the first time in his life, and he beat the boxer within 5 tries I believe. He's a gaming beast.
I fought the 7th "final" boxer and beat him on the 2nd try.

Well.... It turns out you have to beat all the boxers without losing to fight the champ, and once the champ is beat you see the credits. I feel like we can definitely do it the next time we try it. You can manipulate the record by resetting the game during the fight before it goes to the continue screen.

Thought I'd share our Teleroboxer journey of the night. At least we found the proper way of beating this brutal boxing game. I updated the win condition accordingly on the first post. Anyone who wants to give it a shot, feel free.

I tried Mario's Tennis tournament mode on hard and ended up losing in the final round, the A.I. has very few holes in their defense strategy...

Thanks Modern8bit, and thanks for letting me use the VB yesterday! Was a killer time for sure.

Got another one off the list just now. Jack Bros has been beaten.

A pretty solid game! I'd say it's the second best VB game I played so far and will probably remain that way (Warioland being #1). It was a cool concept and was overall really fun to play. You control your character Smash TV style but it has a maze/puzzle type gameplay to it that's very interesting. Your always racing the clock to beat the levels but I found it motivating and it kept me on my toes.

Can't say I'd ever pay the high price tag to own it (maybe the JP version? Not sure how much it is off the top of my head...) but it's certainly worth a play if your looking into some VB games to try out.

There's a 5th stage which is just the mid boss then the final boss but that was easier than the 4th stage boss. The game gets pretty tough.

Keep at it man! On one video I saw for Funky Bowling, he found one sweet spot and nailed the input everytime and bowled a perfect game, 300. I'm sure with enough repetition it'll come easy.

​Didn't think this thread would go anywhere this year but I'm glad to see some interest. If we really can beat these 14 games, I will include the JP and unreleased games to the list and we can knock those out as well. Keep at it folks!

Time to bring this thread up again. Been playing stuff on PC lately but Red Alarm is still nagging in the back of my mind... One of these days I will at least attempt it!

Mario Clash does have an ending if you max out the score (you don't need to play all 99 levels to get it). It lets you keep playing after the ending, so you can still play all the levels.

I got the ending and cleared all the levels (starting at the first one), so you can mark it off as completed.

EDIT: I beat Red Alarm too.

Sweeeeeet man. Thanks for the info and beating what is probably the hardest VB game. Best I could get to was Stage 10 I think.

I will add you for both game completetions and update the completetion requirements accordingly. I'll try to add it now but I'm on my phone so if it doesn't look pretty I'll fix it later.

I don't think it's too bad once you get used to it. Some of the later levels get pretty tough though.

I reached 50 million points on the alien table in Galactic Pinball. If you're only requiring that score on one table, you can mark it off as well.

​Yeah that sounds fine. You saw the credits right? I figured as long as we can see some kind of conclusion or credits for each of the games that'll be good enough for me.

​I'll mark Galactic Pinball down now. Thanks for getting us another step closer!

5 GAMES REMAINING!!!!

Yes, I saw the credits.  I'm not crazy about the last five games, so I'll leave them for someone else.  If you decide to add the Japanese games, I've already completed Insmouse No Yakata and V-Tetris.

Finished 3D Tetris! I've tried and tried to get a decent score in Nester's Funky Bowling, but UNNNGGGHGHHHHHH. Then I tried Teleroboxer. I may still get to the end with that one, but I need more practice, and I'm definitely going to be using the power-off exploit.
