Splash Lake kicks by buttons

This was a US only release?  That means 2 of my top 10 TG16 games are US only!

I can't get enough of Splash Lake.  I have mastered this game, beating it front to back several times with all the secret items.

Maybe I will do it again this weekend!

No, Splash Lake was initially released in Japan. I still don't own this game but as I read this topic, I'm getting frustrated.

Splash Lake is definitely an underrated game. I can only imagine how fun the 2 player mode would be.

I bought this when it first came out, idk, for some reason, seeing screenshots in Gamepro, VG&CE, EGM just made my mouth water. I wasn't let down either, love this game.

Them bouncing spring things can be a pain in the arse.

And yes, gets pretty tricky toward the end, a very fun clear.

Splash Lake takes a rather unique concept and puts it together with solid gameplay and an excellent soundtrack. What's more is that it has great replay value... you need to collect all of the secret items (one in each level), and it opens up a whole new world (with more secret items!)... do it again and you get yet ANOTHER new world... which, by the way, cannot be completely cleared in single-player mode... you have to use two players to completely finish the very last level of the game (surviving a timer expiration doesn't count as a complete finish).

Very interesting. I'll have to round someone up for a complete clear.

Maybe my memory is foggy, but I swear I beat this game solo...  what can't you do on the last level with just one player?

haha. Reminds me of the guy from "King of Kong" that could play Tempest with his feet.
