After one round of the girls answering first (25, 50 and 75 points, respectively), followed by one round of the boys answering first (50, 75 and 150 points, respectively), the pair with the highest score received a $1,000 savings bond and got a chance to win up to 20 fabulous kids' prizes in a BonusRound.

8	!!This show provides examples of:
9	* AdBumpers: The show had [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUn5_OUa45g a few with NBC celebrities]], including Uncle Traveling Matt from ''Series/FraggleRock'', and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NiNLZj_dx0 a pair of animated bumpers]] narrated by Creator/CaseyKasem.
10	* TheAnnouncer: Dean Goss, best known as a San Francisco DJ. He was the announcer on ''Series/HighRollers'' during this same season.
11	* BonusRound: The Pick-A-Prize Arcade. Twenty prizes were displayed, 10 each for boys and girls. Before the show, the girl chose six boys' prizes she thought her brother wanted the most; the boy did the same thing with the girls' prizes. Then, each sibling picked six prizes and kept each prize they matched, and won all 20 prizes if they matched 10 prizes total (out of 12 picks). The setup of the round guaranteed that each sibling would win at least two prizes.
12	* ChristmasEpisode: Laurie dressed up as SantaClaus for the Pick-a-Prize Arcade segment, [[InUniverse with the show explaining that Laurie somehow ended up in the Iso-Zone, so he asked Santa to help out]].
13	%% * DieHardOnAnX
14	%% * DoubleTheDollars: Close enough.
15	* GameShowHost: Laurie Faso, a bit actor. This was most likely [[GenderBlenderName his]] best-known work, besides ''Marlo and the Magic Movie Machine''.
16	* NintendoHard: Getting all 20 prizes in the Bonus Round. The kids had to match on 10 picks out of 12.
17	* NonStandardGameOver: If a team was leading by more than 150 when it came time for their final question, Laurie would announce that there was no way they could be caught and declare them the winners right then and there. This happened at least once.
18	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Well, Pink Girl, Yellow Boy: The layout of the Pick-a-Prize Arcade. Girls' prizes on the pink pedestals, boys' prizes on the yellow ones.
19	* RearrangeTheSong: A slightly re-arranged version of the theme would later turn up on ''Series/TreasureMall''.
