Toss The Turtle is a 2009 online game that is almost Exactly What It Says on the Tin. You shoot a turtle out of a cannon and pepper him with bullets in the hope of getting major distance. Along the way, you can grab cash for upgrades at the shop and ammo for the gun to continue shooting the poor turtle.Also, the land is littered with spikes, Goombas, bombs, gangster hounds, angry suns, flame dudes, small and big birds, street fighting bananas, cars, UFOs, chainsaw-wielding maniacs, and angry ground creatures. That pretty much makes it a Weird and Hilarious American Thing.You can find it on Newgrounds here or on its official website. The artist, Gonzo, has also gone on to create art for another game, Goin' Up.A sequel, Super Toss the Turtle, was released December 22nd 2016 for iOS and Google Play. It includes the same action packed game play, while adding new cannons, guns, power ups, and characters.

 Toss the Turtle (Video Game) / int_5d86966a
comment
Man on Fire: Several of the obstacles set the turtle on fire if it hits them. This not only has no lasting effects, but is actually beneficial (being on fire somehow makes you immune to spikes), and the flames die out after a few seconds. The player can also invoke this by getting a perfect cannon launch, or (in Super) by using the Matches.

Batman Can Breathe in Space: Your turtle can be propelled into space and remain there indefinitely without suffering any ill effects. Other obstacles, like seagulls, can also be seen flying and breathing in space with no issue.

New Game Plus: In Super Toss the Turtle, activating Prestige essentially works like this. You can only activate it after buying every cannon and gun from the store, and once activated, you have to start over from the beginning. In return, you get a permanent 15% cash bonus, and access to the most powerful items in the game.

Made of Iron: It doesn't matter how much abuse the turtle goes through, he just sits up and breathes a sigh of relief when he comes to a stop. Even if you hit the spikes or get crushed, he's still up and about for the next shot, none the worse for wear.

comment
Infinity +1 Sword: The Newgrounds Tank and the Golden Gun. With both of these weapons, you can easily breach the 100-mile mark. In Super Toss the Turtle, the Prestige items count as this instead, with the Golden Gun relegated to Infinity -1 Sword and the Newgrounds Tank much further down the pecking order.

Shout-Out
 Toss the Turtle (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Several, to Super Mario Bros., Street Fighter and Newgrounds' own revered characters. The Newgrounds Tank from the Newgrounds logo. The Golden Gun, with its reputation as one of the more powerful weapons in GoldenEye (1997). The bonus modifier for somehow not hitting any objects is "Boring Life". In some stages there are the remains of Metal Gear Solid's cyborg ninja on the ground. The title image, with the turtle on a cliff looking at a distant city, is reminiscent of Ninja Gaiden. And the title theme is taken directly from Contra. One of the enemies is a Goomba wearing a top hat and monocle. Stomping only one of these gets you the bonus modifier "Weegee". Another enemy is a Banana, who delivers a Shoryuken uppercut when hit. He's even called Bananayuken in the sequel. Hitting enough UFO's gives you a bonus modifier at the end of the level with some bonus cash. The name of the modifier: "War Of The Worlds". Super Toss the Turtle introduces the expies Boe Chong, Clyde M.L Ovalbowl, Bonkers, Fast The Porcupine, Mango, Mighty K, The President, Seymour, and Super Fruitian Kugo.
