The Theme of the game is that you start out in a Toobin race in colorado and you must make it to the finish line, but apparently you get lost along the way, obstacles like alligators and logs go away with cans. You must pick up cans along the way, either in 6 packs or a single, but some times you have to paddle back to get a 6 pack, also look out for the hippos, you cant make hippos go away, you have to go around them.
The fishermen are an annoyance too, their hooks will make you loose one life. There are also these little Flag things that you have to go through. But each time you bump into the poles the points are halved so be careful. Also if you play with 2 players it seems to get a lot harder, especially if you loose your 3 lives with one player, because then the other players "ghost" seems to pick up the items along the way which can be really annoying. There are also Treasure chests and bonus items lying around, so try to get those but you will have to paddle back too. There are also these turns in the river, like one turn will
lead to south America but one will lead to Africa. And if you play with 2 players, you can bounce off each other, which can really be an annoyance if your trying to go through the flags.
On a good side thought when a fisher men casts his hook, you can Sort of see where his aiming at. And you have a 3 second time to paddle away from where you think hell hit you from. Anyway, over all it was a fun game especially if you play it with a partner, I hope you find it fun
