As I mentioned yesterday, the Great Retro Quiz! is going on a little break. I hope you all had as much fun
taking the quizzes as I had putting them together. Any suggestions for the next "season" are more than welcome. Harder questions? New categories? More obscure games?
As for
yesterday's quiz, well, you guys are awesome. Even the people that thought they weren't going to do well received a pretty good score.

13. What is the name of the famous final track that is featured in every single version of Mario Kart?

The red turtle shell serves as a heat-seeking missile of sorts, the lightning bolt shrinks your competition, the Boo steals an item from another racer, and the feather allows your driver to jump higher.

During the awards ceremony at the end of a cup, a giant Cheep Cheep-shaped balloon is popped by the cork coming from the 1st place contestant’s champagne bottle.

WOOOOOOOOO
perfect score!! :)
and chad, i hate to say it, but you are wrong. Lightning cup first made it's appearance in the GBA Mario Kart.
also, is there a way to make these where you actually answer questions, with a submit button, and then it can easily be tallied and people can see scores in ur blog the next day?
PERFECT.
See you next season!
@BlackSheep,
I would LOVE a submit button. That is my dream. I am working on that for Season 2.
Oh, it was the GBA game? Huh. Cool. Thanks for the info. I don't remember that! :)
haha yeah, i'm one of the few that actually REALLY loved the GBA version / actually remember it exists lol
Oh man, I missed 1. O well.
Cant wait for the next Season!!!
Well, I just missed 1, 2, 5, 19.
Cut me some slack it's been awhile.
Argh! I missed one! I completely forgot about Vanilla Lake 2, for some reason I only remembered one. Great quiz as usual though, Chad! <3
i got number 3 wrong!
curses my brain is failing me
I picked a bad time to have to work all day. I can't believe I missed this one! I bet I would have gotten a dolphin badge. I am going to take it now without reading these answers just to see.
Dang, I only got a silver. I'm ashamed.
PERFECT.
Told you so :)
NihonTiger90,
BFF. :)
One wrong :P I still got a gold though so that makes me happy :D
Yay perfect! I failed to perfect DKC which is one of my best game ever but got Gold, which is not that bad.
As far as suggestions... Have you done an Earthbound Retro Quiz yet?
Bronze for me. :OD
Chad, if you're looking for an ally in the fight to have Mario Kart Wii's Rainbow Road named as the best ever then feel free to call on me for support.
