PUZZLE #232: Compound Crosswords 4

PUZZLE #232
COMPOUND CROSSWORDS 4


Fit the words hinted at by the clues into the nine grids below so that the two words in each grid combine to create a two-word phrase or compound word. There may be multiple possibilities for these phrases, but there's only one way that all the words will fit in all of the grids.

Once each grid is filled out, the pink letters in each grid will spell out the FINAL ANSWER: a title made up of a compound word.


CLUES
* 1982 arcade game where you control a sight organ wearing a hat (yes, really)
* Barenaked Ladies album with the #1 hit "One Week"
* Blue hedgehog loved by a pink hedgehog named Amy Rose
* Country that's home to Istanbul (not Constantinople)
* _____ 'Em Up (tongue-in-cheek action film from 2007)
* Fish that's a lot like a manta ray
* Fountain of _____
* "Informer" rapper
* Laid-back cheetah from Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!
* Liberals' wing
* Like someone who doesn't feel like working
* Mrs. Doubtfire actress Sally
* Multiply by two
* Not yours
* Place one's car in a handicapped space, maybe
* Public bathroom's hand dryer
* Successfully hit the tarmac
* "The quicker picker-upper", according to ads

Apologies in advance for the harder clues that I came up with. Anyways, once you believe you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for two versions you can print out: a .PNG and a link to a .PDF!
