Battletoads & Double Dragon (SNES) - Stage 5

[Ultralism]

David Wise knows his bass lines.

[JackSchitt100]

Game has an amazing soundtrack...video game music..just another lost art of modern day gaming....:(

[Macsimus007]

@JackSchitt100 Yep, the problem with games today is that the music, much like in films, is there to enhance the ambiance and mesh with the background. With games back in the day, the music was in your face and meant to have as much or more of an impression than the game itself. They wanted to create a real connection with the track and the stage or area you were on, giving it a sense of uniqueness the graphics couldn't do alone. Visuals and voice over take president now.

[crazyhand987]

sounds better on 1.5x speed

[monty78134]

Wow

[monty78134]

I didnt think that little kids even knew about this game

[DJCandyManMike]

@monty78134

I didn't even know about it until I was 15. That was when it came out.

[playerx2006]

Best song in the joint

[Kellron50018]

I'm gonna burn this song to a cd and listen to it while driving through the hood.

[JusBLieve]

Boss here sucks ass, music here Kicks ass!

[xValis77x]

David Wise, you are truly a genius. Mad respect.

[boredstudent]

SNES had better sound quality than the Genesis. ENOUGH SPOKEN

[HasufelyArod]

@boredstudent i agree with you but not completely,

because I believe that both are amazing and one of the reasons I love this wonderful videogame, not only because of its playing way and mannerliness,

is its music and the melody from 5th stage is my favourite and I love NES, Genesis and SNES.

.

By the way, did I write what I said correctly?

[hakaru1]

up until yesterday i never made it to this level

[JusBLieve]

@hakaru1 you were stuck on the "astroids" stage, weren't you?

. . . . I HATED stage 4.

[hakaru1]

@JusBLieve naw i wish i always got my ass kicked on the third level...EFFIN ROPPER

[Coltina666]

The best song on this game

[Marthyboy88]

@Coltina666 truer words thou hast not spoken

[ozalisk]

My ringtone

[magafi1984]

Sounds like DK2 music when the guitars enter!! Amazing theme, i always loved this particular tune has kid.

Everyone responding to ryo is a jackass. He's making good humor and you guys can't hear it through your anal walls with your heads so far up your own asses for how great you think you are.

[ZiggyKick921]

Hermione Granger's Fighting Game theme IMO! LOL...

[zolli21]

Tip: Jump kick all bosses....all you need to do lol

[DJCandyManMike]

@zolli21

It takes time doing it that way, but slow and steady does indeed win the race.

[gokunumberone]

@DJCandyManMike dude wut ??! thats the fastest and only way to win the game

[DJCandyManMike]

@gokunumberone

You mean you don't know how to do running attacks?

[gokunumberone]

@DJCandyManMike yea i know how to do it all :D

[DJCandyManMike]

@gokunumberone

There you go then. That's what I mostly do until the attacks where it becomes safer to jump kick. So jump kicking alone isn't the ONLY way to win, although it is definitely the safest method.

[AStrangeDay623]

I love this game in Family Game, bring back a lot of memories of my childhood!!! Y_Y

[SonJazrin]

Hell, compared to the original Battletoads or Battlemaniacs, this game was easy.

[Xavierg67]

@SonJazrin yeah the original is hard as hell. this one i can beat very easily

5 People Does not Know The Meaning Of True Video Game Music

[zomgpirate]

You were always on your last couple of lives if you managed to get past the goddamn asteroids gauntlet. And once you got here, you either were incinerated by the rocket flames, or sodomized by that gay bull.

[gokunumberone]

this is going on my "most epic music" playlist :D :D

[DJCandyManMike]

I beat this game once as a rental, and would love to own it one of these days. Kick ass music in this game! I have the NES version now and appreciate the effort Rare made with it given the hardware they worked with.

[Y0mAMa5957]

I never got this far on my real SNES console.

Thank god for save states on ZSNES emulator lmao!

Great game, lots of memories :)

[jago397]

Lol god dumbass people. Fan boys of snes and fanboys of Sega. I owned both growing up. Genesis is not as good quality wise BUT its style of the music is a littler more funky in its own way. I perfer some tracks on Gen and Some on snes. But fanboys will be fanboys. Yall just cant have an opinion! You gotta say this one is clearly better than that one Just shut the fuck up.

[odin650]

@jago397 Yeah, what you said. (I personally like the original NES version.)

[AskAdamLeague]

I swear to god. This song is legendary in the underground.

[93bendzsi]

This song always reminds me of the summer

[ValisHD]

0:29 - 1:03 THAT WAS FREAKING AWSOME Composition and this is by an american composer. KICK FREAKING AZZ!

[ValisHD]

normally i dont say this but 4 people kept running into the after burners. ^_^

[gladeplugins]

I miss Battletoads. :-(

[wolfgang747]

a part of the song sounds like donkey kong

[Doommaster1994]

It's the same composer, David Wise.

[DJCandyManMike]

@wolfgang747

No surprise there. Rare created Battletoads, and they always made the Donkey Kong Country games.

[xXxIHateNiggersxXx]

i feel like superman when i hear this.

[NitroTitan]

Genesis version is more dancable, I get it.

But the Snes version has amazing atmosphere ^0^

[djmocha7]

even though, i only played the sega version, i prefer the way they did the music here. i love how clean the lead guitar sounds. i hum it all day long

[agetro82]

who knows many times ive listened to this song. and casually, i might add, without playing the game.

[DisgaeaDragoon]

Genisis, Im very happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but Snes had the best remix of this stage of all time, OF ALL TIME!

[orion1360018]

While the sound is vastly superb in the SNES version, gameplay-wise, I have always preferred the Genesis. The animations just seem to embody the feeling of the 'Toads better.

[CycoYoshi]

@NeoSonicStrike

@mistaphill

TELL ME ABOUT IT.

[piwbenzyna]

I think RARE games had best music on SNES (Battletoads, Donkey Kong Country etc.)

[TheSonicbandicootX]

@piwbenzyna yeah! :D

[PsychoticLuke]

You know what would really rock? Double Dragon, Battletoads AND T.M.N.T team up! :D :D :D

[Bendzsi93]

The music is badass

But the game is broken -.- its unbelievable how horrible the gameplay is on SNES compare to the nes or the genesis.

[bgasman]

this is one of my favorite music on Battletoads & Double Dragon on SNES, and bring back memories!

[Akyla0177]

Genesis version sounds 1000x better than this

[nintendo1889x]

@Akyla0177 At least the SPC700 resembles a REAL guitar

[TonyTheBomber]

@Akyla0177 You're a fanboy.

[Akyla0177]

@TonyTheBomber YOU'RE a fanboy.

[TonyTheBomber]

@Akyla0177 All that you can is the transferring the arrows at me? OMG, how those SEGA fanboys stupid are.

[Akyla0177]

@TonyTheBomber Yes the arrow is now pointed at you, fanboy.

[TonyTheBomber]

@Akyla0177 OMFG you're a lot more child than I expected. At least I am 13 and I can be on YouTube, but you're 7 and you must go away from YouTube and don't return for 3-6 years.

[Akyla0177]

@TonyTheBomber ok I'll stay away from youtube and come back after 3-6 years because you said so.

[TonyTheBomber]

@Akyla0177 HA-HA-HA! You've finally admitted that you're 7! So come back when you will at least 10 years old.

[Akyla0177]

@TonyTheBomber Okay, I'll try to remember to reply to your comment again after I turn 10. You have really outsmarted me, I'm impressed.

[GaryGolems]

Ah the epicness of getting to the front of the missile before it explodes and beating the ever loving hell out of anybody that gets in your way. . . .

[jcfegz]

Wow, the SNES / Genesis rivalry is still alive today.

SNES ALL THE WAY!!!11!!

[YungMalThaKid]

this is what modern games are missing the bgm

songs r koo but this is irreplacable

[Hanyou9X]

Apparently every cross platform game with the snes and genesis has to have people complaining about which one is better and if that wasn't bad enough they rate up the comments doing it.... face palm*

And please quit saying the SNES sounds like real music..no..no it doesn't it tries ridiculously hard to but it does not.

I don't play my old game consoles to hear real music in the first place I don't know about everyone else but I want my old video game music.

[rocko5544]

yeahhhhhh this song its amazing!!! Im going to break some faces!!

[rjyljh]

you want to know what really sounds better? listen remix of SongeLeReveur

[fpfarto259]

Four people died in this stage =D

[ryodragoon]

someone actually got this far?

[Zigelhh07]

@ryodragoon after like 10 years, yes, me and my brother finnaly did (without cheats) we died here though

[mcdonaldman56]

@ryodragoon I know lol, i never beat the machine gun guy...

[V3NOMXIII]

@ryodragoon it's easy!

[DJCandyManMike]

@ryodragoon

I hate to break the news to you, but people have beaten this game, and I'm one who has as well. I forgot, though, after all these years how badass this rendition of the song is! DisgaeaDragoon hit the nail squarely on the head!

[bderril]

best song in game

[HipHopJun]

The only reason you guys say the SNES version is better is because you grew up with that version. Quit being fanboys.

[dorourke105]

@HipHopJun Why you gonna make us if we don't?

[HipHopJun]

@dorourke105 Maybe.

[nintendo1889x]

@HipHopJun And people saying the Genesis version is better isn't being a fanboy?

[jasamdomo]

@HipHopJun

It is a FACT that the SNES had a superior sound chip compared to the Genesis.

Not an opinion, a F.A.C.T.

Fucking retard.

[nintendo1889x]

@jasamdomo Couldn't agree more the Sony SPC700 was infinitely superior to the YM2612.

[HipHopJun]

@jasamdomo What are you getting mad about? whiney bitch. It's not a fact. Period.

[jasamdomo]

@HipHopJun

Nintendo S-SMP=nominally clocked at 24.576 MHz

Yamaha YM2612=Genesis games clocked at 7.67 MHz

SNES soundchip is superior to the Genesis soundchip. Not an opinion. A fact.

Now sit down and shut up. Ya dumbass.

[HipHopJun]

@jasamdomo List specs all you want, it's still a personal taste. My first comment was aimed at people putting down Genesis music as if it was something personal. Again, quit being a little bitch about it. Not my fault your mother didn't love you.

[jasamdomo]

@HipHopJun

I had hoped that after I proved to you how wrong you were, you would take it like a man.

Guess I was wrong.

Instead, you fling a half-assed ''your mother didn't love you'' insult my way.

No one is being a butthurt little bitch but you.

[HipHopJun]

@jasamdomo YOU came at me with insults in the first place, genius. Don't insult people you can't handle it on the receiving end. More proof that you are a bitch.

[jasamdomo]

@HipHopJun

I came with insults, yes.

But I also came with facts. Focus on the stuff that matters next time, and don't get butthurt over one or two name calls slipped in. Thanks.

[HipHopJun]

@jasamdomo Except you didn't come with facts.  You came with ignorance. Better tech doesn't necessarily mean better content. 'Xbox vs. PS2' proves this. Don't focus on things you don't understand (personal taste) next time. Thanks.

[jasamdomo]

@HipHopJun

I came with ignorance? You are a fucking moron. I don't regret calling you a retard in the first place.

Look at the specs I put out for you.

And that analogy you put forth fails on every level.

It IS the same content. The same composition. Only on two different systems.

One soundchip has better capabilities, the other doesn't.

Now compare the SNES version to the Genesis version.

Which one is objectively better? Yeah, I thought so.

[HipHopJun]

@jasamdomo Yeah, on a technical standpoint, but that has nothing to do with what I was talking about at the time of my original comment. Which was 6 months ago. Don't get your panties in a twist over it, you imbecile. Keep on nerd raging, your IQ is showing.

[jasamdomo]

@HipHopJun

People say the SNES version is better not because they grew up with it, it's because objectively speaking it IS better, thicko.

And the typical ''but my comment was this and this old'' rubbish.

Also, I lol'd hard at the last two sentences.

Look up 'irony' on google.

[HipHopJun]

@jasamdomo Exactly. You're talking objective. I'm talking SUBJECTIVE. Which was what was being talked about 6 months ago, hence the relevancy of my original comment. The more I need to explain this to you, the more I feel bad for you :(

[jasamdomo]

@HipHopJun

Before you accuse anyone of fanboyism, remind yourself of how stupid you are.

I and many other people like this one because it SOUNDS better, not because it's not on the Genesis.

Why can't you get this simple fact through your head?

We're not fanboys. Got that? FFS

And again, last sentence is sweet sweet irony.

[Namco1707]

@jasamdomo

And look at this pompous douchebag. Get a life, jackass.

And spend less time arguing with Cesar Millan wannabe spics from Rhode Island on the interwebz.

[jasamdomo]

@Namco1707

HipHopJun is from Rhode Island?

[Namco1707]

@HipHopJun ahahahahahhha You just keep getting dumber with every comment you leave.

This is hilarious.

[HipHopJun]

@Namco1707 What does me being from Rhode Island have to do anything, you homo. Lol you had to go to my channel to come up with another insult? I know this is you KaiserBitch.

[Namco1707]

@HipHopJun

You filthy piece of spic twat-meat.

I don't who this KaiserBitch fella is, ese. Fill me in, holmes.

[HipHopJun]

@Namco1707 You know exactly who he is you kraut smelling faggot.

[Namco1707]

@HipHopJun

KaiserBitch, Kaiserbitch...Nope doesn't ring a bell.

Though it seems like he is someone that pissed you off and made you butthurt.

Why you mad?

[Bradsama]

@HipHopJun

That is the most I have laughed in a long time, thank you good sir. Troll harder next time.

[HipHopJun]

@Bradsama You're quite welcome, my good man. I try :)

[jasamdomo]

@HipHopJun

''I try'' LOL

So I destroy you with logic and sound arguments, making you butthurt six ways to Sundays in the process, and you say you're the one trolling? :D

[HipHopJun]

@jasamdomo Back for more timmy? You must really like being made a fool of :)

The only thing that got destroyed was your ego. Which is why you're here when you already failed hard 2 weeks ago xD

[jasamdomo]

@HipHopJun

''You must really like being made a fool of'' LOL

It's funny how delusional one gets when they get butthurt because they got proven wrong. :D

Not only are you retarded and a total fail when it comes to trolling, but you're a vile antisemite as well.

Holla back at meh when you evolve an opposable thumb. XD

[jasamdomo]

@Bradsama

That is the saddest thing I have read all day.

So you scour youtube comments in search for a laugh?

You need a better life bro.

[LgndryThndr]

All the Snes sound tracks sound muffled as fuck, I prefer my crisp genesis version.

[foxyshadis]

@LgndryThndr It's only muffled because of the crappy way it was uploaded, it sounds much better @ 44khz. Give the SPC a listen on Foobar or SNESAmp. Awesome song tho.

[Xavierg67]

Best song in the game, lol that is if u get this far without cheats haha.

[boredstudent]

the Genesis port sounded worst than Chris Klein's god-awful performance as Nash in that Legend of Chun-Li movie

[Wasp1984]

So people only like this one because the guitar sound? That's a dumb reason to prefer this version over the Sega version. I still prefer the Sega version.

[LyfSukz]

@Wasp1984 The guitar sound is part of it, but better sounding percussion, undistorted bass, a more elaborate arrangement, a smoother all-around sound and instruments that actually sound like instruments all make this version preferable.

[TheActionGameMaster]

Sadly, I only made it to level 4. Thank GOODNESS Rare didn't go into developing shmups. Everything in that level was composed of fail- but the rest is unbelievably epic.

[3LeeJennings3]

This theme owns all other game themes...

[boredstudent]

snes had better sound quality than the Genesis. what's ironic is that I had a Genesis

[ScorpionHawk333]

It`s not about perception. Don`t wanna "cover it" with the subjective thing.

Just listen both: SNes has better music software, bigger variant of instruments, great arrangements. Talking about sound quality, you just can`t be subjective.

SNes OWNS this.

Sorry, quality is quality.

[HipHopJun]

@ScorpionHawk333 It's still only an opinion.

[toxicitzi]

nes version ftw :)

/watch?v=Sw2I8KK7bjw&feature=P­layList&p=F259A6CBF9076CEC&pla­ynext_from=PL&index=7

[PQ5]

the music is a little slow playing...

[SmokePropaganda]

this game was the most awesome Battletoads game in my opinion.

Having Billy and Jimmy Lee along for the ride made it that more awesome.

Id love to see the Toads make a modern day 2d sequel. Virtual Console PSN and XBN anyone????

[PsychoJosh]

It's never coming to PSN or VC. If a new toads game is made it's only coming to Xbox 360 because Microsoft owns Rareware.

[SmokePropaganda]

that still would be awesome to see no matter whho bought Rare out Battletoads vs Tmnt anyone?

[Chachuization]

@SmokePropaganda well microsoft owns rare these days so its possible, buts licensing is nintendo -_-

[BassistBill1988]

I had nothing to do with my time so I tabbed out the bass for levels 1, 2, and 6. Maybe sometime I'll do 3, 5, and 7. Who cares about level 4. I hated that stupid podship and those damn UFOs.

[e69alpha]

this version sounds just as good as the gen. this is more space like where as the gen is les like it

[marcomania]

I just listened to it and the genesis is inferior

[ExClUr]

Perception can differ, especially if you're subjective towards one of the consoles.

[DarkIZero]

@marcomania

Lol are you kidding? The Genesis sounds like Gameboy music compared to the SNES sound chip.

[balio]

YEA! FIGHTING BULLS ON A ROCKET!........this is the BEST song for that

[wceagle4life]

I'd love to hear Rush play a cover of this song. And the song from Stage 1, for that matter.

[jcfegz]

You sir, are a visionary.

[jcfegz]

Unfortunately, a Rush cover of these songs would literally tear the world apart

[boredstudent]

yeah. Neal Peart would fucking shred the drums to death with that song

[Cabroni2]

I need a XM (fastracker2) tune of THIS ! !

[CascadedDemise]

THis theme always gets stuck in my head randomly.

[jcfegz]

i FEEL YOU PAIN. Or PLLLEEAAASUUREEE!!!!!

[JosefFritzlReligion]

battletoads beste game ever im crying if never it gives a comeback =(

[marcomania]

awesome solo guitar here this music rocks =)

[synfuldesires89]

whenever they make Super Smash Bros, they should add Zitz, Rash and Pimple :D

[gameshowfreak2007]

and maybe Jimmy and Billy as well and use this music for their level (or a re-mix of it)

[agetro82]

one of my favorite themes.

[SuperRetroGamer]

0:41

[Ashenge]

Cool story, brah. :O

[synfuldesires89]

me and my friends were about to do a cover for this song but instead we did the cover for the 1st level :)

[Ghettoflame1]

I wanna hear it.

[raiku1992]

i never beated the 4th level, so i bever heared this music

[Ghettoflame1]

It's so tough. I only beat it once.

[NeoSonicStrike]

The SNES blows it away!

Sorry Genesis fans, I love the Genesis too but this is better imo!

[Lumpytoast]

The SNES version sounds better, but the Genesis version plays better.

IMO.

[NeoSonicStrike]

I think the SNES game sounds and plays better but you see it a different way.

I can respect that.

Either way, Batttoads & Double Dragon is a badass game.

[Lumpytoast]

Yup, it's a shame Rare stopped making Battletoads games. :(

[SnitchKillers]

More like stop making good games. Conker may have something, Banjo Kazooie was not a real platformer, they also haven't made a Killer Instinct. :(

[Lumpytoast]

Yeah, I really wanna see KI3.

[SnitchKillers]

IMO?

[Lumpytoast]

IMO = In my opinion

[Bendzsi93]

@SnitchKillers EMO
