I was going to mail it in this week, but somehow got baited by @Gloves into a battle for Doug supremecy. Why it involved this game, I have no idea.

You live on Pizza and Wings!

I'm hanging out with the wife.

Instead of playing 30+ year old videogames? You need to get your priorities in order!

I live a minute away from Dominos and they have $7.99 one topping large pizzas or 8 wings, so it's their fault.

Man, I want to play further into this game now. I'll probably get the cart. It's a cool, weird little game.

EDIT: The pizza contests do get very tedious when you have to keep doing them over and over. Otherwise it's a fun game.

A lot of the later levels have shortcuts to skip them, but honestly they're so difficult it may as well not exist at all.

I know what you mean.  I used to live a few blocks from a local parlor that made a dangerously good me.

An extremely difficult platformer. Sounds like my kind of game.

EDIT: Wait, you mean the shortcuts are difficult?

But I assume the later levels are really hard in general.

The later levels aren't toooooo bad. Adventure Island still takes the cake with that one section, but certainly there's some similar BS platforming. Mostly it's remembering the thing that fucked you 2 minutes ago.

But yeah the bonus shortcuts become insanely difficult to clear, so they end up just costing you a life. If you can clear them though you skip the card game, which means you keep any bonus cards you've collected thus far.

BTW, you guys farmed the fire breather near the end of stage 4, right? I tried to get to him as fast as I could and kept killing him with the super yoyo until I used it all up. It's the only place in the game where you can farm.

I did not farm.  The plot thickens...
