It will be fun to try this one again later with turbo. My hand is sore from slamming the button like crazy to simulate turbo lol.

This was a game I was originally going to allow turbo when I was planning the contest.  I wound up just banning turbo for every game though.  I wanted to prevent runs from taking too long in these contests so one could make multiple attempts in a short period of time.  That's why along with no turbo, all of the rules limit the number of lives that could be used or number of stages that could be played.
