That's a great idea. So even if you lose, you can still feel like you get something out of it.Played a few rounds last night alternating with my wife who isn't very into games. Got to 4 finals but couldn't hold onto the tail for 3 of them. She was getting better, just some trouble with these new fangled two joystick controllers, kept trying to use the D-pad for movement.
One idea we had was on the between round screen as the guys fall on the pegs below, have a full plinko board they go through (maybe with some minimal movement options) to get a chance at some extra currency.
We also played this alternately and had a blast.
