Battletoads (NES) - Play-through - Part 5

[mydogjudas85]

WTF!!! This is so sick i could never get past the jet bikes in the hyper tunnel i never knew the game was this long im breaking out the nintendo and giving it a go

[p6mkq]

I wonder if this water level inspired creators of jazz jackrabbit

to make dreampipes-also a water level,similar in design...

[p6mkq]

This tube level was hard as hell ,never got past it !

[p6mkq]

Robo manus :D

[Darknightwing]

I remember that i used the warp at the bike stage, and then another one at the snake stage and got straight to the last level...

[TheShepherd82]

burai fighters difficulty is peanuts against that one in battletoads.

[Naru5000]

why don't they just go over the planet and dig when they reach above the Dark Queen's Lair?

[SonsoftheProphets]

5:53 Since when were ducks unfriendly?

[MordvsTheWorld]

@SonsoftheProphets Since when did toads endure mountains of bullshit level design to save their friends?

[shincyriades]

@MordvsTheWorld Since the Battletoads became the best friends in the history of gaming! I think...lol.

[sorokonojkaboris]

i can't belive i got throw that lvl when i was 8 , although genesis version had shortcuts

[numgun]

I admit the level design and art is top of the line and very well thought, but still this difficulty is ridiculous. Rareware, you bastard.

[shocktreatment95]

rubber ducks and electric eels and gears that chase you HAHA

[Thrifty032781]

WTF is with this game? It's sadistic.

[Robocheeseball701]

Gosh, I thought the DKC water levels were difficult. Rareware has some sick bastards! (and I mean that in a good way).

[U581]

congrat my friend

[Bulletproofninja09]

How do you know where that circle is going to go? It's confusing :P

[FCEU100]

Robo Manus can be very evil at times, if he hits you once your pretty much dead.

Great job Daniel!

[Shailoch]

6:42 Pwned lol.

[jimmyboy2021]

lol what are the chances

[mastercolling]

When you go into the water, it vibrates. Classy! I used to have 2 NES because that increased the chances that I could get a cartridge to work. I remember playing this when I was very young, but only got to level 3. It's great to see the ridiculous stuff I would have had to pull off at like 7 to have completed it. I would love to see a Tool Assisted Speedrun of this! You have to practically get to that level anyway!

[mastercolling]

Oh wait, it's always like that.

Howcome those metal discs don't get affected by the spikes? Surely games like this have easy glitches and bugs to exploit.

[FCEU100]

You want to see a tool-assisted speedrun of this game?

Check out my channel, it´s a tas i made recently.

[VenusHeadTrap]

The hardest game I've ever played.

[h1altitude]

Oh no! The evil Rubber Duckie is out to get ya at 5:52!

[bufkinstank]

beat...anyone else notice how the amount of lives he has never goes down?

[gott957]

you get an extra life every 100'000 points but it only shows 5 lifes max

[AlienatedStud]

The staff that designed this game were simply madmen. The company should not have been called RARE back then but RAW.

[Silks]

lol ah yes, the fucking snapping sharks. Of all the things in this game... haha, they pissed me off a ton

[charlesajones77]

For quite a while the Terra Tubes (aka the underwater level) were the bane of my existance. Easily the most outright unfair level in the game. From the gears, where you had to guess which way to go until you had it memorized, to the God damned Hammerhead fish, whch had the annoying habit of appearting out of nowhere just in time to samsh you into the spikes. So many times I ran out of continues on this level and had to start over from the very begginig.

[alexthelizardking]

whoever came up with the terra tubes level probly had the olympics in mind

[JuneLinMilliam]

This guy got some skills, but I am pretty sure my female friend is better at this game lol. She's much faster at every stage and I seen her literally keep Robo Minus airborne by hitting him until he was defeated. I'll see if I can persuade her to do Battltoads videos, which is going to be tough since she's too much into martial arts and not video games.

[syfa84]

Is your female friend into martial arts? cool.

The same here actually, but im doing a walkthrough of this game right now so tell your friend that you can do both those things he! he!

I guess she´s lucking forward to this Saturday, UFC 84.

Good walkthrough shincyriades, this game is not the easiest to take on so congrats.

[DTysonator]

Good luck with your walkthrough, syfa84, I am sure that it's going to be awesome :).

[syfa84]

I have actually already done a walkthrough, but have not uploaded all the parts of the game yet.

I only got Lv1-Lv5, the other parts are on the way.

Check them out if you want, and tell me what you think about my way of beating the sh*t of all birds, pigs, ducks and rats he! he!

By the way i just watched your Gunsmoke play-through,it was great w/h getting hit once.

It´s one of my favorit games.

Keep the good work up my man.

[DTysonator]

Yes I noticed and checked out what you have. So far, so good, I am looking forward to the rest!

Hey thanks, I'm glad that you checked out and appreciated the Gun.Smoke play-through :). I also had fun with that game and would say that that play-through is probably the best video that I have ever done. I really had to dig down deep to pull that off. Of course, the game is so much more fun with all of the weapons though :).

I will do my best to continue challenging the classic games.

[syfa84]

Yeah the gunsmoke play-through was great, i always had problems finish that game w/h getting hit.

So it was amazing i must say.

[DTysonator]

Thanks :), but don't let it fool you into thinking that you can't do this yourself.

You have already finished Battletoads and that is so much harder than Gun.Smoke, so you definitely have what it takes!

[DTysonator]

Yeah, I'm definitely not the best at this game by any means, JuneLinMilliam, so I am sure that your female friend could do better.

I'm usually at my best with games that I love playing. Battletoads was never a favorite of mine, but I did enjoy playing through it at times.

[JuneLinMilliam]

You're better than me at this game, I can't even get pass the darn Turbo Tunnels lol. To bad there isn't a warp portal on the Wookie Hole level.

[DTysonator]

Well if you gave Battletoads more time, I have no doubts that you would finish this game. It's a trial and error game and requires practice and memorization.

[darktail67]

i think i saw a vid where the guy used a warp near the beginning of the bike section, it's at the bottom of the screen, but i didn't notice he'd taken a warp until i saw the screen o.o;

[JuneLinMilliam]

I know there is a warp during the Turbo Tunnel but its NOT at the beginning of it. I just wish there was a warp on the 2nd level: Wookie Hole to skip the Turbo Tunnel.

[darktail67]

yah, when i saw it for the first time i thought it was at the beginning, but i've read it's at #10 wall, but i can't remember from what part -it'd suck if it was at the end, but meh-

[Vertoxxis]

its the 10th wall of the last section (the section that gives no warning and continues to speed up...its hard to catch considering your moving at an ever faster up down rythm and the goal is count to 9 and dont move

[darktail67]

really? why would they place a warp at the final end of the level then? X_x

[LordFunkyFist]

I cannot believe I died on those rubber duckies.

[Kreep7Smoke]

Damn you'r good DTysonator 5stars ;) no doubt

[shincyriades]

Thanks for the love! DTysonator got lots of practice to make this playthrough :)

[DTysonator]

Yeah, thank you for the love, Kreep7Smoke :). A five star rating is a rare thing, so thank you for feeling that way about the video!

I am my own worst critic and would probably give this overall play through a 3/5 or so.

There were a lot of things that could have been done better, but I never bothered playing Battletoads again since this run. There are just so many other games to challenge :).

[jessizz1e]

lol, What's the deal with the rubber ducks?

[paavot]

They are more vicious than they look...

[jessizz2e]

I figured, since they were being avoided. Can you attack them or anything?

[paavot]

Well, it´s risky, but yes, you can hit them. They can´t be killed though, according to my belief.

[benulitron]

how are those robots working in water!!!? lol

[NESgamer190]

Ouch... manus kinda did a number on the gamer. I can't blame the gamer for losing a few lives on him. Curse his pattern. Another thing I hated in this game was the eels... One touch and 3 squares of life gone, so you could tell that the eel tank at about 4:38 was my least favorite part of the stage.

[DTysonator]

lol Rash definitely got squashed there, NESgamer190, but that was actually my fault. I got a bit anxious and should have planned my attacks more wisely.

As for the electric eels, at least they were better than those tiny but deadly sharks though. I hated those enemies and I love sharks lol!

[hawaiidkw]

Sheesh, you're playing at a level I didn't even *imagine* existed in 1991, and you got knocked around by Robo Manus. I don't blame you one bit...going from infinitely patient, calculate steps to slugging it out against a kill-you-in-to-hits boss can't be an easy transition.

[DTysonator]

Well, back in 1991 this game absolutely owned me as a kid, hawaiidkw :). Players who were able to finish Battletoads when it first came out are the true game masters.

Yeah, the transition from quick reflexes to boss battles didn't work in my favor. Even Big Blag nearly squashed Rash at one point lol.

This play-through has it all: the good, the bad and the ugly lol. I'm glad that you appreciate it :).

[mortalBLAST]

dammit u got owned by a minishark

[hawaiidkw]

I know. I could barely believe it myself. Crazy, isn't it? Evade Ultra Cheap Instant Deaths #1-#250, and #251 nails him cold.
