That pretty much makes it a Weird and Hilarious American Thing.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: The Newgrounds Tank and the Golden Gun. With both of these weapons, you can easily breach the 100-mile mark. In ''Super Toss the Turtle'', the Prestige items count as this instead, with the Golden Gun relegated to InfinityMinusOneSword and the Newgroudns Tank much further down the pecking order.

* MadeOfIron: It doesn't matter how much abuse the turtle goes through, he just sits up and breathes a sigh of relief when he comes to a stop. And even if you hit the spikes, he's still up and about for the next shot, none the worse for wear.

''[[http://www.tosstheturtle.us/ Toss The Turtle]]'' is an online game that is almost ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. You shoot a turtle out of a cannon and pepper him with bullets in the hope of getting major distance. Along the way, you can grab cash for upgrades at the shop and ammo for the gun to continue shooting the poor turtle.
