Overall this wasn't that bad of a game. Still need it for the collection so I'm sure I'll pick it up eventually. I know I could do better but only got a little bit of time to play it this week. Impressive scores everyone!

I did one more run to see if the TOOBIN' letters could be turned in twice and I can confirm it can only be turned in once for the million point bonus. I've been trying most of the day to find out, but I haven't had a good run until now. I apologize this being posted so late to the end .

 
Well that definitely points to it being more beneficial to take the bonus then, depending on how far you think you will get.

Also looking forward to Dragon Spirit.

It's been a fun week with a game I grew up with and it makes me feel good to be in contention once in a while too, I'd be lying if I denied that!

I'm unsure when I'll participate next. I'll be skipping Track & Field 2 this week since its going to be hectic here, Thanksgiving included. It's 50/50 if I'll participate with Bomberman, but I'll participate for sure with Dragon Spirit. Dragon Spirit, like Toobin', is a game I received over two decades ago with my first NES, so I want to be in on that one, even if it is my worst genre.

Anyway, great scores this week to everyone and I'll still be watching the scores until the end! ]]> NintendoAge 2014 Weekly Contest Presents: Toobin' http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=138312 2014-11-23T19:49:02 -05.00 bimmy_lee 71 3,224,450 



As i suspected, no chance to play today, so yesterday's game will have to do it.
(Also, had to ponder the diminishing returns of whether it was worth putting in more time to 1-up arnpoly, but since we're probably both locked into the top tier at this point, it probably isn't worth the time to get the point or two of difference ) ]]> NintendoAge 2014 Weekly Contest Presents: Toobin' http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=138312 2014-11-23T17:59:22 -05.00 bimmy_lee 71

Didn't have a lot of time this week. ]]> NintendoAge 2014 Weekly Contest Presents: Toobin' http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=138312 2014-11-23T16:45:38 -05.00 bimmy_lee 71 Originally posted by: arch_8ngel

Here's my final score... I would have loved breaking 300K but I couldn't. Also, where's that damn apostrophe? (I sunk on River Amazon).

Fun game!!!
 

The one in Mississippi is on the 2nd to last set (I think) of 4 trees on the right-hand side.

You need to hit the trees by stopping in the river and targeting them.
Then when the apostrophe appears, quickly get below it and catch it when it goes to fly off the bottom of the screen.
 
The way I figure out where the apostrophe is in that level is that you look for the line of three trees on the right side of the screen that line up in a slight downward slope.  Go further down to where the next set of trees is on the left and it's in the 3rd tree in that section.  I like the strategy to swoop below and grab the apostrophe as it falls down but I have stayed high and grabbed it before it falls.  I bet it's a bit riskier strategy but it worked for me!
