What i don't understand is why didn't it catch on more over the years?...i mean they only made a few sequels...this thing has almost every level with a new way to play with the toads...i have to face palm myself to ask why isn't this on the 3D consoles of today?...it would be amazing...
wow...very good videos..since i was kid this game has beeing my life meaning..no i can really try to beat this..yo cant beat this game with good reflexes, you had to just remember every part's.sorry for my really bad english
I feel sorry for the Dark Queen having to climb this thing after she leaves it. You know, I bet that there is a secret elevator on the back of it, and the Toads missed it.
DAMN! This game doesnt give a fuck. It will kick you in the throat with a steel toed boot that has a dog shit on the bottom of it....So now you cant breathe and you have a dog shit all over your neck....That's how hard this game really is...But thanks for posting those walkthroughs. Its been a great help.
Did you know that this game is catalogued as one of the top ten most diffcult games in history???? it´s awesome!!!! all the respect for this hardcore player!!! greeting from Mexico!!
wow, this must have taken years of practice - this game always boggles me, they obviously spent a lot of time and talent on great-looking and interesting levels, then made the game so hard that only 1 in 500 people would ever see them - seems like a waste of effort
Wow... its crazy because when I was like 7 I thought I was such an idiot because I couldn't beat this game. It was one of the hardest games ever. Amazing. Thanks, I needed this.
I'm actually impressed by the smooth, pseudo 3-D effect of the rotating tower that Rare was able to produce, considering that this game was on the NES.
I can only imagine how annoyingly difficult this stage (or rather, this whole game) must be to a first-time player. This guy reached the top in about 7 minutes, didn't screw up once ascending the tower, and only got hit once!
Ahh Nintendo nostalgia. Wow, I never made it past level 7. Im glad I didnt, I wouldve wasted so many more hours for a lame ending. Thanks for posting this, I always wanted to see the other levels. Xbox live this game!
I know other 2 people from my street in Russia where i grew up, they also beat it on 2 player. We spent days and days for like a year playing it with my friend.
That's because he's from Russia. It was the American version that bugged up on the Clinger Winger level. They fixed that on the other foreign releases.
This game is the reason of my anti-social life today. Its nostalgic and fun to watch, but it scare me when i remember how much time I spend on this game. While all my other friends were playing sports I was stuck on that worm or ic or swiming levels. Thinking well, it was not a good time...such a waste of life, i regret this. I wish I could go back in time and not to buy this game. Anyway, nice post, i enjoyed a lot watching this all over again. Thanks.
there was some levels I have never seen before (haha the farthest place ive seen was the RoboManus boss and Ive never beaten him. Still, I never saw the ice and fire world :O )
DTysonator is so awesome for not using warps in this game. 5/5 for all videos.
I personally could make it to the tower but then I'd lose all my lives, usually by those guys that blow you off the side. I was always impressed by the spinning effect in the last level for an NES game.
It's a little bit a shame, that after all that final boss is kinda a let down, but oh well, maybe they were just tired after coding all that other awesome stuff.
With some more pratice, you would beat this game, jemismyfav, I have no doubts about that! Terra Tubes is pretty far into the game, you were more than half way there!
the company that made this also made BK and BT, right? what's up with the top of the tower? rare must have towertops on their minds when they make final bosses...
Not to sound like a dumb ass, but what does BK and BT stand for, GameMasterGuy?
Yeah, the tower is so damn big too! I often remember asking myself, "am I there yet?", it's like the song that never ends, well, not that bad, but you get the point!
hey man, big respect 4 ya... I remember playing that game and my adventure finished with snakes in your part 3 of walking throuugh... I broke lot of joypads
Which ones, GameMasterGuy? Mega Man 3 had a snake like level from what I remember and was released before this game, so Battletoads was probably inspired by that level.
Wow thank you for the kind words, Luiscota1986! I'm not the best at this game by any means, but I'm glad that people like you appreciate the effort that I had put into this game, so thanks again :).
i loved this game as a kid!!! u fuckin rule at this one. it took me forever just to get past the 3rd stage wit the go-carts lol. musics cool in it, graphics r cool, the animations entertaining just an all around really good game for its time- i remember this one the most out of all the games i had for nes- just hearin the music n stuff heheh, thx for postin these man, the ending SUCKED though! whats with the old games and shitty endings, spent hours getting there for 'oh no u won :('
Thank you, lejink, I don't know about being a ruler of this game though lol!
This game was designed to own us all until the end of time, but at least there are people out there willing to prove otherwise!
Despite the overall difficulty, I also enjoy playing Battletoads for some reason, I must love pain! :)
The ending isn't the worst thing that I've seen actually. Check out the ending to Renegade for the NES and then tell me what you think, it's pretty sad!
My god, how many years. I played this game when my grandfather was still alive. He was like 90 years old, blind, and he couldn´t even move. Its funny, now I remember he memorized the music of the wind tunnel level, and always asked me, Paul?, are you playing nintengo?, tututu, tututu, tututu......
Man, thanks for reminding how amazing this game was and is. Like, from all standpoints, audio, level design, challenge, graphics... it should be used as a primer for all video game developers today. Include the fact that they only had the NES limitations to work with and wow, one of the best games ever made.
me and my older brother played this game the moment we bought it and never came to school. we had "other" things to memorize :P
but actually he was the first one to beat it and never played it again. i on the other hand always end up at the last level but that's it, i never had the chance to tap the queen's ass :P
If they want an Olympic event. we've got one hear. play through battletoads.
Anyone who can beat this game without cheating and not getting a single game over should get a gold metal no questions asked. Plus there would be no performance enhancing DQ because the only way to do that would be very noticeable.
YES! I couldn't have beaten this game without the help of these videos. Especially that elevator part where the fans suck you in...I would have never thought to jump high to see a lot more above you..
Anyway, I have to thank you for posting your run :)
Freaking awesome, you should get a medal or something for beating this game. I've had this game for over 10 years now and never beat it, damn rat race always gets me. Hopefully I'll beat this soon.
i bought this when it first came out from k-mart. my brother and i played this game so much and even though he got close to beating it i never did UNTIL - one day i was messing with game genie or something, and got frustrated and hit the nintendo and when i restarted it I was at the final fight here ! but i still didnt beat it i dont think... ANYWAYS - this was awesome to watch
Very good! :) The part videos continues at the beginning fight and at the beginning The Dark Queen Tower. Just like in films. There are title too at the continuing the game. Very good! :)
But how can you play without the cheats? If I play Battle Toads and I try to cross hard places then the player is going to upper. Or you can controll buttons very good? :)
Wow, so that's it? I can't help but feel that was so anti-climactic. For a ruthlessly difficult game like this, I was expecting the final boss to be uber cheap with devastating, screen-filling, OHKO attacks that make you repeat the entire level if you die.
Plus for beating the game, the ending should feature a half-nekked DQ on her knees begging for mercy ala Dr Wily before running away and then the producers give you a new car for the hell they put you through trying to beat their insane game.
it took me damn near 13 years to beet this game... amd its the only 1 i beet my sis could not :D... think i still got it ill have to look it up and see how my skills have droped in the past few years
I apppreciate your sarcasm, JonnoGradian :). Most can reach 999999 rather easily by killing the same enemies over and over again like most games, as you are probably aware of.
If he hadn't made it to 999,999, I would've been puzzled. Sheesh, never mind the difficulty and frustration, 12 levels is insanely *long* for this kind of game. You can make it through without continuing, this...nice achievement really is no big deal.
Hi superdios, I played this game very little as a kid when I received it for my birthday, since I found it to be way too hard by level 3 and felt cheated.
I gave the game away in 1992 and took on the challenge of beating it twelve years later when a friend gave me a copy of the game in a trade.
I practiced many levels with the use of an emulator, memorizing where to go, so that I wouldn't have to play the game for years, since it's all basically trial and error.
It took me over a week to memorize the game and another week to beat the game without using a continue. I played for another week or so and recorded this play through.
My best ever run at this game was eight deaths, but this video was the only play through that I ended up recording and there are ten deaths in total.
I was about to trade Battletoads to a game shop, but wanted to have a lasting memory of it before I did so. This video turned out quite well, so I have no complaints :).
I appreciate your feedback, coldasiice :). This game is pretty evil, but is still somehow fun at times, because of the cool animations and overall variety of gameplay.
Even though I didn't end up breaking any controllers while playing through this game, I did have some rather questionable things to say about it :).
Actually, my reflexes did slow down at times. This was especially apparent in Level 8 where many mistakes were made. I also got very lucky during the third rat race.
Yeah, Level 7 is indeed intimidating, newname42, but I am sure that you could get past this level now. Thanks, I'm glad that you enjoyed this video :).
I'd like to share something with you all here. The first time I actually got to the top of the dark tower I made it with 4 lives left. I managed to kill her on my last life and as she raised up to the platform to do her defeat speach I happened to be standing in the middle. She combo kiced my from full hp to nothing and it was game over. Oh that was my last continue too. Hands down my most frustrating gaming expraince ever. I'm sure the screams could be heard two towns over.
Wow, that sucks, Thomasuwoo! You technically still beat the game though, so you have absolutely nothing to feel bad about. The ending is nothing special as you can see.
Oh yes, frustration was something you had to learn to live with when playing NES games. In Poland 15 years ago even illegal cartridges were expensive as hell, so I had to play one game in a half a year and exchange with my buddies... Prices lowered with time, but only ten-maybe legal Codemasters games were released.
Three months - it took me this long to figure out how to easy-kill Butler in Flinstones... Lay these explosive eggs... ;D
I was feeling the tension from knowing how frustratingly difficult this stage is! I would always get stuck near the end with that white ghost thing...how close I came to finishing this game!!!
Yeah, the final level is definitely frustrating, c1h9o8b0i. Even though I was fortunate enough to make it look easy, it was anything but easy. That being said, it is clearly beatable.
I actually used a poor strategy to get past that final blowing cloud and was lucky that Rash did not get blown away. We all need to have luck at times. :)
No, not all, TheCheezWizz :). Most players probably realized that the Dark Queen was all talk. Most villains are, especially when they do a lot of trash talking between levels.
Fat Gordon from The Adventures of Bayou Billy also comes to mind, but then again, at least he had two cyborg Double Dragon clones to back him up in case he failed.
The Dark Queen was confident that the game would protect her, but when the traps failed to kill off the toads, she had nothing left.
Occasionally, perhaps. Then again, given how long it is to get to this point (and with limited continues, don't forget), I think for most players it'd be more a relief than anything.
I'm glad that you enjoyed this video, Fegisje and that you feel as though the game looks easy with practice! It's definitely beatable, although very unforgiving and unrewarding (short ending as you mentioned).
It just takes one little mistake to die in most of the levels and so luck is often involved. However, as shincyriades pointed out, persistence is a key factor in being able to finish Battletoads. So if you really want to do this, I am sure that you will :).
Thank you very much! After much practice, I would hope that I myself should be able to accomplish this. Daniel T is superb for his persistence! I hope to live up to it with my own Neo Geo vids :). Perhaps after getting a hang of Battletoads, you may be able to do the same, Fegisje!
Thanks, mortalBLAST. Yeah they don't call it the Dark Tower for nothing, it's purely evil lol! I was extremely fortunate to get Rash through this level without dying, it was a fluke.
Is this question being addressed to me, mortalBLAST? If so, yes shincyriades and I are two different people with separate accounts, working together to bring fellow gamers cool/inspirational gaming videos.
Ahh....I played this a long time ago. This was a really good game, despite being near IMPOSSIBLE to beat. I swear, I still have nightmares from the snake level.DX
Yeah, I don't know exactly how I was able to tolerate this game, wespolly.
It does have a certain charm about it, with the cool characters and all, as shincyriades pointed out. However, the extreme difficulty does ruin the experience at first.
It's only once the player becomes a pro that Battletoads actually becomes a fun game. Getting to that point isn't as fun though.
Yeah, I got past the first bike part like ONE time and I got demolished on the next ice level haha! Yeah NES games are mostly all rediculous, I actually just beat Karate Kid a few days ago, it's short but harrrd, haha I felt so acomplished!
Many NES games are over the top in terms of challenge, because a lot of the NES library consists of Arcade ports.
Yes I remember that short and painful game! The Karate Kid has some very frustrating sections. The storm area and final level are probably the most annoying sections lol, the rest is fairly simple. Nice job on finishing it, xXAvatarofGuitarXx!
haha thanks! Yeah, I actually beat the last level on my first try, but the Typhoon level is crazy! I also got to the last level on Double Dragon II, but died! It was terrible. haha, yeah I know what you mean about arcade games, there's a game that came out for the 64, but now on the ps2, called Winback: Covert operations. It's really like an arcade game, and it is real hard.
Wow great job on finishing the last level of The Karate Kid on your first try, xXAvatarofGuitarXx! The first time I got there, Daniel san got trapped between two enemies on a cliff and died a horrible death. I also remember dying because of some woman falling off the final platform when the enemies were being hit a certain way lol.
Well done. I don't think I ever got past that damn snake level when I played the game as a kid. It would probably be easier now with an emulator and the save state function but back in the day all I could hope for was that decent with all the life giving birds. Ending sure is a let down.
Thanks, Nutsaur! Battletoads does require a ton of memorization and if not for emulation I would have never been able to explore and to memorize the majority of the levels. Once I was comfortable enough with all of the levels, I believed that I would be able to finish Battletoads legitimately on the actual console without any cheating. Fortunately, everything went according to plan, despite the unspectacular ending and all lol.
DID HE REALLY JUST DO THIS. OH MY FUCKING GOD.

I only concentrated on the hardest levels, instead of the entire game, hence why a lot of silly/careless deaths took place in level 8.
I'm a pretty persistent gamer, so dying in any game doesn't sit all that well with me, but in Battletoads it's expected, so I allowed it to slide :).

Freaking awesome, you should get a medal or something for beating this game. I've had this game for over 10 years now and never beat it, damn rat race always gets me. Hopefully I'll beat this soon.

Very good! :) The part videos continues at the beginning fight and at the beginning The Dark Queen Tower. Just like in films. There are title too at the continuing the game. Very good! :)
But how can you play without the cheats? If I play Battle Toads and I try to cross hard places then the player is going to upper. Or you can controll buttons very good? :)

this is a pretty impressive-looking level for an NES game

The "looping around tower" effect was also done in Kirby's Adventure.

Wow, so that's it? I can't help but feel that was so anti-climactic. For a ruthlessly difficult game like this, I was expecting the final boss to be uber cheap with devastating, screen-filling, OHKO attacks that make you repeat the entire level if you die.
Plus for beating the game, the ending should feature a half-nekked DQ on her knees begging for mercy ala Dr Wily before running away and then the producers give you a new car for the hell they put you through trying to beat their insane game.

Yeah, the ending is pretty lame, DarkSyde24. At least the Ninja Gaiden series offered endings that were well worth the effort :).

*sigh* if you hadn't made it to 999999. I would have been very, very dissapointed.
*yay for perfectionism*
*hasn't played the game*
JonnoGradian 3 years ago
I apppreciate your sarcasm, JonnoGradian :). Most can reach 999999 rather easily by killing the same enemies over and over again like most games, as you are probably aware of.
DTysonator 3 years ago
Yes, Sarcasm, I'm sure...
*whistles loudly to hides his own stupidity, then scratches his head sheepishly*
ehehehehe
JonnoGradian 3 years ago
If he hadn't made it to 999,999, I would've been puzzled. Sheesh, never mind the difficulty and frustration, 12 levels is insanely *long* for this kind of game. You can make it through without continuing, this...nice achievement really is no big deal.
hawaiidkw 3 years ago
I can get to 999,999 before level 4 ends in the Genesis version >.>
well, 999,990 actually. They won't give you the last 9 points in that one. around 800k of that is from level 2 anyway.
TheCheezWizz 3 years ago
Haha, alright you lot, you've made your point =P
JonnoGradian 3 years ago
DTysonator, how much time did you spend on this to beat this hard game?! :O i tried for years and couldn't pass the bike lvl :( hahah great job!! :D
superdios 3 years ago
Hi superdios, I played this game very little as a kid when I received it for my birthday, since I found it to be way too hard by level 3 and felt cheated.
I gave the game away in 1992 and took on the challenge of beating it twelve years later when a friend gave me a copy of the game in a trade.
I practiced many levels with the use of an emulator, memorizing where to go, so that I wouldn't have to play the game for years, since it's all basically trial and error.
DTysonator 3 years ago
It took me over a week to memorize the game and another week to beat the game without using a continue. I played for another week or so and recorded this play through.
My best ever run at this game was eight deaths, but this video was the only play through that I ended up recording and there are ten deaths in total.
I was about to trade Battletoads to a game shop, but wanted to have a lasting memory of it before I did so. This video turned out quite well, so I have no complaints :).
DTysonator 3 years ago
Thanks for the insight. It shows that even we can achieve Battletoad greatness.
mastercolling 3 years ago
You're welcome, mastercolling, you most certainly can achieve greatest in this challenging game!
DTysonator 3 years ago
I appreciate your feedback, coldasiice :). This game is pretty evil, but is still somehow fun at times, because of the cool animations and overall variety of gameplay.
Even though I didn't end up breaking any controllers while playing through this game, I did have some rather questionable things to say about it :).
Actually, my reflexes did slow down at times. This was especially apparent in Level 8 where many mistakes were made. I also got very lucky during the third rat race.
DTysonator 3 years ago
Yeah, Level 7 is indeed intimidating, newname42, but I am sure that you could get past this level now. Thanks, I'm glad that you enjoyed this video :).
DTysonator 3 years ago
I'd like to share something with you all here. The first time I actually got to the top of the dark tower I made it with 4 lives left. I managed to kill her on my last life and as she raised up to the platform to do her defeat speach I happened to be standing in the middle. She combo kiced my from full hp to nothing and it was game over. Oh that was my last continue too. Hands down my most frustrating gaming expraince ever. I'm sure the screams could be heard two towns over.
Thomasuwoo 3 years ago 2
Wow, that sucks, Thomasuwoo! You technically still beat the game though, so you have absolutely nothing to feel bad about. The ending is nothing special as you can see.
DTysonator 3 years ago
Oh yes, frustration was something you had to learn to live with when playing NES games. In Poland 15 years ago even illegal cartridges were expensive as hell, so I had to play one game in a half a year and exchange with my buddies... Prices lowered with time, but only ten-maybe legal Codemasters games were released.
Three months - it took me this long to figure out how to easy-kill Butler in Flinstones... Lay these explosive eggs... ;D

Nice work for both of you ShinCyriades & DTysonator. Damn this game was hard!
Kreep7Smoke 4 years ago
Thank you, Kreep7Smoke, I'm glad that you enjoyed this :). Battletoads is definitely a hard game, but with practice it can be beaten!
shincyriades and I will continue to do our best to bring cool gaming videos to you the viewer. There are many more games in store :).
DTysonator 3 years ago
I was feeling the tension from knowing how frustratingly difficult this stage is! I would always get stuck near the end with that white ghost thing...how close I came to finishing this game!!!
c1h9o8b0i 4 years ago
Yeah, the final level is definitely frustrating, c1h9o8b0i. Even though I was fortunate enough to make it look easy, it was anything but easy. That being said, it is clearly beatable.
I actually used a poor strategy to get past that final blowing cloud and was lucky that Rash did not get blown away. We all need to have luck at times. :)
DTysonator 4 years ago
isn't it disappointing when the final boss is easier than everything you've already done before?
TheCheezWizz 4 years ago
No, not all, TheCheezWizz :). Most players probably realized that the Dark Queen was all talk. Most villains are, especially when they do a lot of trash talking between levels.
Fat Gordon from The Adventures of Bayou Billy also comes to mind, but then again, at least he had two cyborg Double Dragon clones to back him up in case he failed.
The Dark Queen was confident that the game would protect her, but when the traps failed to kill off the toads, she had nothing left.
DTysonator 4 years ago
Occasionally, perhaps. Then again, given how long it is to get to this point (and with limited continues, don't forget), I think for most players it'd be more a relief than anything.
hawaiidkw 3 years ago
I'm glad that you enjoyed this video, Fegisje and that you feel as though the game looks easy with practice! It's definitely beatable, although very unforgiving and unrewarding (short ending as you mentioned).
It just takes one little mistake to die in most of the levels and so luck is often involved. However, as shincyriades pointed out, persistence is a key factor in being able to finish Battletoads. So if you really want to do this, I am sure that you will :).
DTysonator 4 years ago
Thank you very much! After much practice, I would hope that I myself should be able to accomplish this. Daniel T is superb for his persistence! I hope to live up to it with my own Neo Geo vids :). Perhaps after getting a hang of Battletoads, you may be able to do the same, Fegisje!
shincyriades 4 years ago
I hope you enjoy our other productions, as well as the ones coming soon! We promise to bring even more cool / inspirational ideas ;)
shincyriades 4 years ago
my head hurts after all that damn climbing, is not fair, why sooo long? but anyway good job on beating it
mortalBLAST 4 years ago
Thanks, mortalBLAST. Yeah they don't call it the Dark Tower for nothing, it's purely evil lol! I was extremely fortunate to get Rash through this level without dying, it was a fluke.
DTysonator 4 years ago
is dis another acoount? are you shincyriades?
mortalBLAST 4 years ago
Is this question being addressed to me, mortalBLAST? If so, yes shincyriades and I are two different people with separate accounts, working together to bring fellow gamers cool/inspirational gaming videos.
DTysonator 4 years ago
i see now
mortalBLAST 4 years ago
Yep, very fun, AND very hard, with cool characters. What more can you ask for in a game ^_^
shincyriades 4 years ago
Ahh....I played this a long time ago. This was a really good game, despite being near IMPOSSIBLE to beat. I swear, I still have nightmares from the snake level.DX
wespolly 4 years ago
Yeah, I don't know exactly how I was able to tolerate this game, wespolly.
It does have a certain charm about it, with the cool characters and all, as shincyriades pointed out. However, the extreme difficulty does ruin the experience at first.
It's only once the player becomes a pro that Battletoads actually becomes a fun game. Getting to that point isn't as fun though.
DTysonator 4 years ago
Dude, bravo to Daniel T. Bravo. This is like...impossible looking. Hahaha bravo.
xXAvatarofGuitarXx 4 years ago
Thanks, xXAvatarofGuitarXx! The game definitely seems impossible, but it isn't, trust me ;).
Ikari Warriors, also for the NES, is much worse if you can believe that!
I am sure that if you played Battletoads enough that you would finish it as well. Most of it comes down to memorization and quick reflexes.
DTysonator 4 years ago
Yeah, I got past the first bike part like ONE time and I got demolished on the next ice level haha! Yeah NES games are mostly all rediculous, I actually just beat Karate Kid a few days ago, it's short but harrrd, haha I felt so acomplished!
xXAvatarofGuitarXx 4 years ago
Many NES games are over the top in terms of challenge, because a lot of the NES library consists of Arcade ports.
Yes I remember that short and painful game! The Karate Kid has some very frustrating sections. The storm area and final level are probably the most annoying sections lol, the rest is fairly simple. Nice job on finishing it, xXAvatarofGuitarXx!
DTysonator 4 years ago
haha thanks! Yeah, I actually beat the last level on my first try, but the Typhoon level is crazy! I also got to the last level on Double Dragon II, but died! It was terrible. haha, yeah I know what you mean about arcade games, there's a game that came out for the 64, but now on the ps2, called Winback: Covert operations. It's really like an arcade game, and it is real hard.
xXAvatarofGuitarXx 4 years ago
Wow great job on finishing the last level of The Karate Kid on your first try, xXAvatarofGuitarXx! The first time I got there, Daniel san got trapped between two enemies on a cliff and died a horrible death. I also remember dying because of some woman falling off the final platform when the enemies were being hit a certain way lol.
DTysonator 4 years ago
Heh, the game sure is tough, I'd probably have to use save states for quite a while at first, myself ;^_^
shincyriades 4 years ago
Well done. I don't think I ever got past that damn snake level when I played the game as a kid. It would probably be easier now with an emulator and the save state function but back in the day all I could hope for was that decent with all the life giving birds. Ending sure is a let down.
Nutsaur 4 years ago
Thanks, Nutsaur! Battletoads does require a ton of memorization and if not for emulation I would have never been able to explore and to memorize the majority of the levels. Once I was comfortable enough with all of the levels, I believed that I would be able to finish Battletoads legitimately on the actual console without any cheating. Fortunately, everything went according to plan, despite the unspectacular ending and all lol.
