This is basically very slow downhill skiing reskinned.
The NES version of Toobin' is cute and fun but, like most NES ports, it makes me want to try out the arcade version more than anything.
The funniest thing to me about this game is that tubing down a river is, as I understand it, supposed to be a fairly relaxing activity. I mean, you just sit in the tube. Even speedboat tubing looks exciting, and it is, but you're ultimately just sitting there. It's awesome. Meanwhile, our Toobin' protagonist is giving it all he's got just to get down the river. Awesome. I wish him the best.
Also, major shoutout to the digital guitarist doing the soundtrack to this game. Racing down the river, and this dude's absolutely just tearing ass on this guitar solo.

You float down rivers in a tube and throw beer cans at everything that stands in your way. Not much to it but they managed to take a relaxing activity such as tubing and turn it into an absurd and fun arcade game. It’s overall pretty fun but I do wish that when you died it would let you continue where you left off. Even if they removed continues I’d rather that over dying once then having to do the stage all over again.
