@WeTeX30 Just use the D-pad here, no other controls. U need to time the curves prefectly or otherwise the swirl WILL get to you... and he gets there really soon. Never made it past this level, but hey... I've started playing again recently and one day I will beat this game!

What is everyone talking about regarding saves? How can you save on this game? Every time I play, I die on this level and have to go back to level one!
This is the only level I'm having serious troubles with; it makes me want to pull my god damn hair out. Even with save states I can't do it. This 360 controller may be the only thing stopping me from completing the level.
Oh god I can feel the mind numbing frustration. Every turn has to perfectly flow into the next like a never ending flow of water. One hiccup and you die.
DONT READ THIS CUZ IT ACCUALLY WORKS.YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY FROM THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE.TOMARROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS TO OVER 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS NOW THAT YOU STARTED READING THIS DONT STOP.THIS IS SO SCARY! POST THIS TO FIVE OTHER VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES.WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOU CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS.THIS IS SO SCARY BUT IT REALLY WORKS.
Oh wait, I tried again and this pausing helped me quite fast. :D But this is not cheat, just it slow down game, and game is not so rainbow when it standing. And it helps use correct button fast.
This is not cheat and it shouldn't thought this way. This is just hint that helps look and react. But sure you don't need it. You are champion.
Do you wnat to say we have hard to beat Clinger Winger because new controllers that we use have 8 directions and most time we turn we probably press direction that is never needed in this level, for example up and right?
That's mean we cannot cross because using old D-Pad is easier to press right button turning? :) Yes? This pausing I tried, this didn't work!
I have beated it only one time and this was with several hours saving and loading game, this time I feel I just cannot cross it!
...so exactly how does the level work? (still puzzled after 3 different videos of this) To turn a corner, you push the Dpad in the new direction, but what happens if you're slow to push the new direction?
@TARINunit9 The orb catches up to you. It catches you, you die and start ALL OVER AGAIN from the top of the structure... Imagine how irritating that's gotta be, if it gets you on that final stretch. lol
@TARINunit9 Nope. Basically, there's "perfect" turns- meaning, hit the D-Pad buttons at the right time on a corner to change direction, and possibly gain speed. PRess a wrong button or don't press any at all, and you get a "Slow" turn and the orb gains precious seconds on you. ...Come to think of it, Ever since I played this game I've had a real fondness of racing games, like F-Zero; lol..
this level was the most annoying thing i ever played when i was a kid, but i found the easy way to complete it in the nes original game with the original joypads (year 1995-1996 10-11 years old) press start in each corner an instant BEFORE you make a turn, then press the next direction and so....by this you got more "reflects skills". Try it!
I was so happy when i beat the dark queen for the first time... ;-)
@MasterKnightDH i know its for the nes, i played it. i thought it was also for the wii since it got the other games on it. i hate this stage. the NES one almost made me wana throw the stick. =_=
I played Battletoads incessantly on the NES. I eventually learned and mastered the game. I must admit your technique for killing the clinger winger boss was very interesting.
THe three hardest levels for me were the Rat Race, Clinger Winger and the Terra Tubes.
This make the rat race look like a breeze. I can't imagine ever beating this level. I'm not even going to waste my time. I'm getting a game genie tomorrow.
If you guys are playing this game through an emulator, the pause trick does not work on stage 11. Instead, try to reduce the emulation speed to 50%. It's kinda easy to beat this stage that way.
you make it look so easy. i always get killed by the damn.. thingy! my bro has emulator on his xbox. idk if that's still possible to slow it down like that. i have no prob beating this stage on genesis version, but the nes one is hard. im still on it
Easiest way to beat this level. Pause the game at every turn. While the game is paused, reset your thumb on the correct position on the D-pad and then unpause the game. Do that through the whole course, you'll finally be able to get to the end.
I like being known as one of those guys who can beat this game... but it takes forever to program yourself to be able to beat it with anything resembling ease...
Level 9, by far the worst. I only say that cuz I think I might have beaten it twice! This game still makes me mad to this day. Thank God I gave up trying to beat it. It's actually easier to have 3 way sex than it is to beat this game.
@the1andonlybigh I hear you, I never got the opportunity to try on an NES controller, but I had to resort to the keyboard for the emulator. The xbox just could not cut it.
Yea, thats what i had to do. Lucky you didn't try it on the NES, you would be throwing the controller trying to beat it without saves states, lol. This is one game i never conquered on the NES. Ive even tried recently, i lose all my build up of lives by the time i get to the Tower, and screw up the level.
You corner way faster than the energy ball, but it's faster than you on straight aways... I never die on this level, cept sometimes at the boss fight.
Yea, boy! That's the way a giant toad's supposed to..beat up... a giant... marble...? Wtf-- this game was weird, lmao. but I loved it, it's part of gaming history
@nightofthelivingdon. Agreed. This level is the hardest fuck in Battletoads. I could never get past this level. Had to use Game Genie to skip this bitch. The Tower is nothing compared to this ass.
i made it to this level with 8 lives and all my continues. For some reason i randomly slow down sometimes even if i'm holding the direction down. I'm using the nes/snes duo controller though, which is more like a snes controller..maybe thats it. Either way, i can't wait to try it 100 more times!
I'm reminded of Diabetus' excellent Let's Play of this game.
When he does this level, he does a great job explaining how it works and what you're supposed to do...and puts it to great music.
Incidentally, this is the level that is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE with two players--a bug made player 2's controls not work here, making this a kill screen of sorts.
I've noticed some have trouble with it and some don't. I have a bud that can beat it pretty much any time he tries, but I can't seem to get the timings down.
It's hard because you have to HOLD the directional button and as soon as you turn switch to the other direction and hold it too. The problem is that you need to switch extremely fast, or you will be run over.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sorry BrYaN, but there is no way this level could be done the way shown in the video. You got to have used a cheat code that is not available everywhere. That ball never gets farther from the toad. The farther it can go is from the beginning and the corners should be done fast enough for the ball to not get too close after each turn. But at the end before the fight the ball is, at the most, 2 mm from the toad. I say this because I was able to pass the level after several months.
@EricPR239 nah Eric, every time you turn a tight corner perfectly timed you should gain some distance on the ball for a moment. Usually the ball makes up the distance on straightaways or poorly/averagely turned corners. If you turn enough corners well enough it is possible to carve out a comfortable lead like that for stretches of the race.
i play battletoads on a nesticle emulator, and I cannot for the life of me beat this level. you beat it so easily. I think its tough to make quick turns using the keyboard. Great job man.
I actually found a way to get through it using a keyboard: when you hit a corner, keep pausing it (holding down whatever direction you were going in), and when the bike thing changes direction (the frog won't, that's OK), change direction.
Hello BrYaN5555 woooow, u are a great master of Battletoads!! I play with emulator, do u know how can I get lifes with the keyboard? The tips doesnt function in my case. Thanks!
Not too sure what all this "keyboard" stuff is about, but the best way to get extra lives is on stage 2 from the birds. Hit them enough times and they give you an extra life. Do this on most of the birds in the stage, and you can collect enough lives to see you through the game.
Terra Tubes (lv9) also has a neat thing with the rubber ducks: if you lose all your lives there and get the Continue screen, you get there once again, not getting killed, get the two extra lives and beat the rubber ducks for points to get another 9 lives, retaking the last life if they kill you. it works wonders
I got stuck for almost a year on this level, Couldn't for the life of me get it. I'd reach this point with over 40 lvies in stock from the seccond level and still fail. Would have blister on my fingers by the end. Then one day, I finnaly got it, and now it seems so easy. I guess I just wasn't that good at cornering!
Yeah, it sound like a very good idea to use the NES advantage here. And no, I have any other technique other than memorizing a litlle, and trying to take the corners as soomth as possible...
Best way to beat clinger wingers is to pause as soon the graphics glitch slightly on a corner (there's a weirdass quasi turning glitch animation), hold down the right direction, and unpause. It makes it MUCH easier.
I cannot beat this level for life... I'm playing it on emulator so maybe not having the NES controller is hurting me, like you said.
When, exactly, do you change direction? It looks like the instant just after the toad corners? I usually end up pressing it too soon and slowing down.
I'll admit that I'm pulling my hair out over this stage even now; I remember beating it as a kid, but for the life of me, I just can't do it now. I bet you're right about the NES controller.
Try it with an original NES controller... I was playing with a PS2 controller on emulation the first time and it was really difficult. When I got the original game & playing with an original controller, it was really easier!
Ditto! I remember this level being the bane of my existence back when I was a kid. I would sit there for days trying to beat this level and I never could... I'd be fine up until this level and then that damn ball would always catch up to me.
With an original NES controller, you basically just have to memorize the stage, and press the right direction. No need to be "perfectly" timed. It just take some practice.

the ducks works better: jumps of 5000 points each time you knock it over :3 and they don't die!

I got stuck for almost a year on this level, Couldn't for the life of me get it. I'd reach this point with over 40 lvies in stock from the seccond level and still fail. Would have blister on my fingers by the end. Then one day, I finnaly got it, and now it seems so easy. I guess I just wasn't that good at cornering!

If someone here really want to test themselves on this level, download the Nesticle95 emulator.
This emulator is one of the worst out there,it´s soo difficult to beat this level if you use that emulator.
The sound sucks and the controlls arn´t that good, and ofcourse not to mention there are a bunch of graphic error aswell.
Good luck any way!

No it was not easy, you bastard. It was still difficult.
>>>>>>>>"....with a little practice."
*immediately shatters BrYaN5555's bones with two sledgehammers*
There's no such thing as practice, you idiot!

Very constructive:)
Anyway. Yes it's easier with an original NES controller than a Playstation 2 controller. Didn't test every controller though.

Is there some technique that you use when using the regular controller? I can only beat this level with the NES Advantage.
Lazo089 3 years ago
Yeah, it sound like a very good idea to use the NES advantage here. And no, I have any other technique other than memorizing a litlle, and trying to take the corners as soomth as possible...
BrYaN5555 3 years ago
You are right though. When I first played this level, I was getting wrecked, but now I can beat it without dying with little effort .

Best way to beat clinger wingers is to pause as soon the graphics glitch slightly on a corner (there's a weirdass quasi turning glitch animation), hold down the right direction, and unpause. It makes it MUCH easier.

Yeah, I figured that out myself when I had this game years ago. Also, muting the TV helps so you don't have to hear the music switching all the time.

I cannot beat this level for life... I'm playing it on emulator so maybe not having the NES controller is hurting me, like you said.
When, exactly, do you change direction? It looks like the instant just after the toad corners? I usually end up pressing it too soon and slowing down.

Wow, you smoked that thing. I'm impressed.
I'll admit that I'm pulling my hair out over this stage even now; I remember beating it as a kid, but for the life of me, I just can't do it now. I bet you're right about the NES controller.

does pressing diagonally work?

It doesn't help, but on a NES controller it doesn't hurt your speed that much.

Guess I'll try that index or middle finger over each D-pad directon thing.

that's the way dude, you kept that retro dot out of the screen almost all the stage!

I almost refused to believe what I saw. I'm trying to beat this damned stage right now, and I--after all these years--STILL am struggling with it!

Try it with an original NES controller... I was playing with a PS2 controller on emulation the first time and it was really difficult. When I got the original game & playing with an original controller, it was really easier!
BrYaN5555 4 years ago
Ditto! I remember this level being the bane of my existence back when I was a kid. I would sit there for days trying to beat this level and I never could... I'd be fine up until this level and then that damn ball would always catch up to me.

Ok, I never, ever got this far. Doy uo have to time the turns perfectly, or do you just have to press into the next direction..
Phantom034 4 years ago
With an original NES controller, you basically just have to memorize the stage, and press the right direction. No need to be "perfectly" timed. It just take some practice.
BrYaN5555 4 years ago
There's no need for memorising either, it's pretty slow, and you have to change the direction at the corner anyway.
