(played thru midway arcade treasures: extended play on psp cuz i really just wanted a convenient package of these games but also didn't feel like blowing $20 on arcade origins for xbox)

this one is so unorthodox and tedious in its controls and it's also racist in ways i didn't expect, but also, there's something... satisfying about toobin. the sheer wtf nature of it. the risk and reward system of going under point flags and bumping into the sides to decrease points. the fact that you can just fuck over player 2 or the cpu by throwing cans at them or bumping into them (those last two combine really well - did you miss the point flag? bump into the side and fuck your friend out of a potential 2000 points!). it's unbridled chaos in every sense of the word. secretly needs a beefed-up remake with online multiplayer. i can see this metamorphizing into a new Mario Party: Destroyer of Friendships.

Midway Arcade Treasures was a staple of my childhood. Never really loved this one among the games.
