Toobin' is an action title released in 1988 by Atari Games for arcade platforms. Inspired by the sport of tubing, players steer downriver, gathering collectibles while evading hazards to reach the finish line.
This game was adapted for multiple home systems and computers and has appeared in various compilation releases.
Gameplay
In Toobin', players assume control of either Bif or Jet, distinguished by red or yellow colors, in this vertically scrolling action experience. The goal is to navigate through five distinct rivers before the sequence loops back to the start.
Throughout each river, players encounter numerous obstacles, collect treasure chests to increase their score, pass through checkpoints, and pick up cans that temporarily incapacitate specific threats.
Legacy
Toobin' has been included in several compilation packages such as Midway Arcade Treasures, Arcade Party Pak—which features a remixed soundtrack—and the 2012 release Midway Arcade Origins. Additionally, it is one of 23 arcade titles featured in the Midway Arcade Level Pack for Lego Dimensions, accessible through the hidden Arcade Dock within "Follow The Lego Brick Road". The game is also part of the Arcade1Up Midway Legacy Edition arcade cabinet collection.
