    I wish they had you opponent change colors every 3 rounds like in vs Urban Champion.  It makes the game a little more interesting.  I don't think that rom has yet to be dumped though.

     

    BTW you don't get the CHAMPION text until round 172 (if my hex to decimal is correct)!

    Oh man, the sprite change, or palette swap at least, would've been nice. And man, that is a high round that I can't see myself getting to. Or really wanting to play long enough for, hah.

    52!  I keep running out of time.  When that happens the other guy will just wail on you and there's nothing you can do.  The cop even came by and he was still hitting me!  Speaking of the cops, they're so annoying!  Not only does it take an eternity for them to go by, but it eats up so much clock!  Also I swear that guy with the flower pot comes out every 3 seconds on the higher levels.

     

    I always pause it when I die to take the screen shot as I can't stand seeing my opponent get showered in confetti...

    Nice! The cops are annoying. According to the instructions, if time runs out, the cops are supposed to take away the player who has been pushed back the furthest. I haven't run out of time tho. That's hilarious that the guy was hitting you when the cops came by. Also, 😢 for pausing before the opponent gets confetti. Screw that guy anyway. He obviously has the cops in his back pocket...

    I don't think it can be done normally.  You can just run and jump and catch the platform (barely) up until level 5.  Then, as you point out. the platform doesn't move as far so it's impossible unless you wait for a bit and even then it's tricky (I did it once by accident).

    If you did it by accident, it gives me hope it can be replicated :) Before level 5, I always springboarded onto the platform, and I didn't try to rush things (that usually resulted in death). 5 and later, I had to completely change my bottom half of the level strategy. In fact, the egg even drops differently from 5 to 6. I really liked that the screens made you change up your patterns with higher levels, it kept things fresh. I was always pushing to get to the next level b/c I wanted to see what things were different.

    I had the floating on nothing thing happen to me with the Frog one game,I just watched him go till I ran out of time. It was hilarious!😄

    What I didnt know about Frogger was you can stay on a log and ride it through the screen to the other side.

    Is that how it was programmed and do all versions let you do that?

    That's specific to skill 1 & 2 of this version (at least according to the manual). It's the only version I know of that allows for that. Pretty cool to change things up.

    I glanced at that FAQ when I was playing but after the first few holes it didn't help at all so I just winged it.  You have to learn to hook and slice the ball on purpose though, you can't rely on hitting the ball in straight lines the entire game.

    💯 Purposefully using the gauge outside of the "max" is where the real skill comes in. It's also very satisfying when you get a feel for the right club to use.
