    Boy did I hate this game. I love the hell out of Smash TV(me and my brother beat the game while collecting B.I.N.G.O) and got this game with high anticipation. What a letdown, Insane brutal difficulty, just no fun whatsoever. Ill still pick it up from time to time but put it down pretty quick after it pummels my gamer ego.

    I don't think I've ever got past level 2.
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    Someone went through all the game code and confirmed that there are only three endings. Admittedly, it's possible that the developers stuck a "super best collected all the prizes ending" somewhere else and covered up all the tracks to it in the code just in case someone ever analyzed it, but that's 99% unlikely.

    I find "Smash TV" to be boring compared to "Total Carnage".


    Plus the "Curly" sound when you grab the sneakers is always hilarious.

    Youtube vids of some of these seemingly-impossible things sound like good times too.

    All of it is doable, some things just more difficult than others.

    IIRC there are videos of people playing through the game on one credit. Turmell has always said that he could do it (one of the key reasons the difficulty is so over the top), and apparently he's not alone.

    HG101 now has an article about this game, and so I found myself thinking of this thread again. It seems that someone last year did a pretty thorough writeup about the ending screen:
