  • The Bishop family: A family of school-aged children, one as young as 10 and one as old as 18, managed to make it all the way to Level 10 through tag-teaming. As $500,000 was now a safe level, they decided to take a shot at Supercoin (with the time limit increased to 190 seconds) as the first team to actually elect to do so. Sadly, even with three different players for the challenge, they lost.
  • Speaking of that game, patsdestroy's video of his friends managing to beat a home version of Supercoin was notable enough to be featured on the show itself during an episode featuring viewer videos. Sure it took longer than a minute, but it at least proved that beating Supercoin was plausible.
  • Demonstrating Supercoin for a contestant, the host of the Turkish version managed to beat it in only 17 seconds.
  • The first contestant to beat level 8. The challenge was to remove at least 2 of the 8 dollar bills from below the 8 plastic cups, while making sure the stack of quarters on the cups do not fall, without touching the cups. The contestant completely crushed it, and proceeded to show off by doing all of the others flawlessly, except for two of them. Unfortunately, he lost at the very next level: the infamous "Don't Blow The Joker."
  • The "Last Man Standing" episodes, used a format with ten contestants competing against each other, rather than against the clock. Each round, the slowest contestant would be eliminated with each subsequent round proceeding with the surviving contestants. The first episode using this format, had one of the most intense moments of the show when the final two contestants faced off in Round 9's "Ping Tac Toe", with the winner of that round to win $100,000 for surviving to the final round. The Round's ending was pretty gut-wrenching for both contestants, as they both made Tic Tac Toes, but one was completed a mere second before the other. However, the winning contestant played "Supercoin" in Round 10 to increase his winnings to $1,000,000, but lost.
  • Anybody who beats a game in a fast time more or less will be celebrated, especially if it's a higher level game.
