First off, a huge round of applause is necessary for Mr. Topher Cantler for the awesome new Great Retro Quiz! image shown above. He did an incredible job. I get giddy each and every time I look at it. I can’t thank you enough, Toph. Amazing.

In less than 24 hours I will be getting sunburned on thebeachofCancunwith the rest of the Destructoid staff. And what better way to celebrate an exotic tropical vacation than with a quiz all about dolphins?! Yup, you read that right. This week’s quiz is all aboutdolphin appearances in videogames. It’s a dolphin extravaganza!

This may quite possibly be the best quizever(natch), so it has to have a prize, right? Just leave your answers in the comments and whoever gets the most right will win a special souvenir fromCancun! I am not sure what it will be yet — it could be something as small as a fancy shell or as extravagant as a real live Mexican prostitute — but I will make sure I purchase it with love.

you may check mycommunity blogtomorrow morning (4/3) for the correct answers, butI will not be able to grade all the entries until I get back. The winner will not be revealed untilnext week. Just keep that in mind.
