For everyone who participated in the first retro quiz yesterday, thanks! I hope it was a good time.
Before I reveal the answers, let’s get scoring out of the way. There are four badges you can win depending on the number of questions you answered correctly: 16 or less correct? Sorry, no badge for you. Rank :( 17-19 correct? Bronze Retroid badge. Rank C.
20-22 correct? Silver Retroid badge. Rank B.
23-24 correct? Gold Retroid badge. Rank A.
All 25 correct? This perfect score wins you the coveted Dolphin King badge. Rank S. Congratulations. You are officially awesome.
Keep track of all the badges you win. Besides having the undying respect of me, the person who collects the most Dolphin King badges might just get something sw33t someday (hopefully not my job). So, with that being said, here are the answers to The Great Retro Quiz! .01 - The Virtual Console (NES): 1. c; Master Higgins can collect a skateboard in Adventure Island to help him travel quicker through the level. 2. d; when the holy water hits the ground it causes a burst of flame. 3. c 4. c 5. b 6. d 7. d; in Contra, the famous code does give you 30 lives, but not in Gradius. 8. a 9. b; an eggplant 10. c; leevers are the annoying enemies in the Zelda games that like to burrow under the ground in desert areas. 11. b; while not a swastika at all, Nintendo caught a lot of flack for this close resemblance. 12. c; Error is an infamous character from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. 13. d; Mach Rider rides a motorcycle and American Chopper is a reality show about, just that, motorcycles. 14. d; Prisoner of War = POW, the famous block you can hit to flip all the enemies in Mario Bros. 15. a; the popular code is Justin Bailey. 16. c 17. d 18. a 19. c; this character sprite is pulled directly from the box art of early NES game Soccer. 20. d; the main character in Solomon’s Key is named Dana. 21. d 22. b 23. d 24. b; every playable character in Super Mario Bros. 2 has a specialty; Luigi’s is the ability to jump extra high. 25. b Tune in next week for quiz #2!

I listen to Retroforce every week, keep up the awesomesauce.
(i have to wait til i get home to see how i did)
Oh shoot, thank you! Fixed!
*cue Zelda music: You got the thing!*
The question was, if Justin Timberlake marries a woman and takes her last name, who would he marry to have the same name as a Metroid code.
Ha ha. Read the question again. You have to match Justin Timberlake with Bonnie Bailey (a person I made up) to form Justin Bailey. :)
Oh, wow, how unexpected! I never would have thought I'd win an award *pulls out paper with speech written on it*...
Aw fuck... *Notices the paper just says "speech" on it*.
Actually, I think the white looks cool. :)
I take solace in the fact that I only missed questions I had to guess at.
Guesses made:8, guesses correctly:2
which is 1 in 4. Ironic, isn't it?
