Bonus games with no relation to the main game

The WInners' board Sale format didn't have much to do with the maingame either. The 2001-02 season Squares bonus round(debuted in Nov 2001) didn't have a whole lot to do with the maingame. The Turnabout CHild's Play bonus was the inverse of the maingame, and to a smaller degree so was Hot Streak's endgame.

Well, you certainly beat me to it, that was the first one I came up with. I remember watching it in my youth and trying to figure out why such an interesting serious quiz game had a bonus round that was entirely chance.

Au contraire. I do see a little resemblance: answer questions; one wrong answer and you're done.

How about the HS bonus round used from Nov. 01 until the beginning of the current season?

Well, you can also think of \"Nick Arcade.\" Yes, I do realize that the bonus round still dealt with video games, but while the main game involved playing console games and answering questions, the bonus round was, in a sense, an obstacle course a la \"Double Dare.\" It's definitely very different, and I have seen teams do so well in the front game and then absolutely bomb the bonus game because of its emphasis on physical reactions.
Also, I think \"Remote Control's\" first bonus round might fit here; all the rest of the game has to do with TV; why does the bonus round have to do with figuring out music videos?
Comment at will!
