* Edward Bishop and his family were the first contestants to reach the final level, Supercoin. Sure, they lost, but it's still awesome.
* 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, they lost as well.
