The game really flexes the muscles on the NES. It was 1991 and most 8bit games had to compete with earlier 16bit monsters this posed a huge Challenge so the developers really had to push the limits of this system and that they did especially on this games. There are certain scenes such as the last boss battle with the Dark queen she looks absolutely amazing with her little pixelated curves lol, all jokes aside this game pulled off a massive feat. Kudos Battle Toads.
It's really impressive how good this game looks. There are very few sprites that look outdated here; They utilized the limited color palette fantastically; everything looks intentional. The only real problem is that the Dark Queen looks like complete ass no matter where she appears. Also, I don't like the filter that was used on whatever emulator this is. But wow, this just shows that graphical power is no where NEAR as important as artistic direction.
Beating this game without warps and a Game Genie is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. It takes a lot of time, but eventually you'll do it.
Well, now you know why it's so hard to reach her; she knows she's no match for you in a fight, so she tries to stop you with every cheap gaming trick known to man, bear, pig, manbearpig, rhinoceros, bull, rat, or toad.
I always wondered why the hardest games always had the stupidest endings. You went through all that hell in Contra, Metroid and all tons of other games....just to fly away in a helicopter or starship before the last boss's base exploded. Then it was "Congratulations! Now go through again on a HARDER difficulty."
I could never beat this...as a kid or an adult. The furthest I ever gotten was to the level with the ball chasing after you. I think its been a while. But you sir I commend you. That last level would of given me so many fits. I counted how many times I would wipe just trying to make it to the top and it would have been plenty good gaming. Who knew the dark queen was easy 🤷♂️
I'm very late in replying, but the way to beat the Clinger Winger is to time the turns with the D-Pad on each corner. The moment the Clinger hits the corner, you press in the direction of the next path. It has to be precise - too late or too soon will slow you down. You are faster than the ball around corners this way, but it always decimates you on the straights - so you need to gain advantage early on. Honestly, it's just reflex timing - practice it enough and the ball will get so far behind it may not even appear on the screen for a few sections. Source: I beat this game when I was 14, back in 1995 on my NES. Took my entire 2 week school vacation, but I have fond memories of it even still now. :) And damn bro, you were just one level away from the final stage too. :(
😆😆😆😆😆😆. My cousins and I never made it past the jet skis floating things. Also weren’t warping …. But damn this game is so hard. Still play it on Computer/NES emulator and it’s still pretty freaking hard…….
I agree, Battletoads should have been made with a more dramatic ending, such as, in addition to the Dark Queen sulking over losing and Professor T Bird praising the toads on a job well done, dialogue from both toads, Pimple, Angelica, a party and celebration, and then that last scene showing how the Dark Queen retreated to recoup her losses. Because Battletoads is a very hard game. Levels that took me months to beat, plus you only get a total of 4 opportunities to win per gameplay.
I find it funny that the NES version of this game has more of a story than the Genesis, but the Genesis kicks ass with the ost. lol I played both versions and I personally have to say that the nes version is originally harder than the genesis. they dumbed it down on genesis.
It doesn't really even seem like your fighting the Dark Queen. Seems more like your fighting a manniquin or statue image of the Dark Queen that's just spinning around and dancing... WTF?
The Dark Queen battle in the SNES Battletoads may actually be even worse. She literally has zero frames of animation. Just a still image that occasionally shoots a little skull icon at you. I bet this OP has a video of it.
No, he just made her look like a pushover. I have seen her infuriate many a quality gamer with her painfully unfair hit detection. Her pattern may be easy to recognize and identify but good luck actually beating her.
@@billny33 And hopefully you're not on your last life if you defeat her, only for her to come up and kill you while she's spinning towards the background because you're standing in the middle of the room.
This level mostly makes up for all the shit that we all went through to beat this game: one of the most impressive things ever done on an NES game. Plus The Dark Queen isn't so hard once you know what you're doing.
😮 Ni en mi mejor época de gamer pude pasar este juego, el cual es considerado uno de los mas difíciles de todos los tiempos hasta la fecha 2023, sigue siéndolo, no se como pudiste pasarlo, todo un PRO 😎💪👌
I wish they made more animations with Dark Queen. Even low end enemies like girls with whips has animation of being punched in stomach and being tossed by hairs.
True. But when you've got some of the stuff that the game throws at you in previous levels, maybe there's no room in the budget for the "Another Castle" plan.
i saw all your videos.. amazing!! very nice job why don't you try a perfect 2 player speedrun .. i wonder if at the very end.. they send 2 ropes instead of 1.. to pick up the other toad. !
They do, but it's actually impossible to do a full normal playthrough of 2P mode. In Stage 11, Zitz will die no matter what in the beginning of the stage. (Which has been fixed in the Rare Replay version) Fortunately, Zitz can join in again in the beginning of Stage 12.
A lot of it is probably tricks to make it look like 3D. For example, the platforms and the yellow Spike Balls that spin around the tower most likely actually move left and right, and the tower itself might be a row of vertical pieces that change depending on how you move, so that it looks as if it is rotating.
They could have at least put an image of the girl and the battletoads partying in the end, or something. Or the girl pushing Darkqueen over the edge of the top of the tower, hence helping the battletoads win. Who reads the lettering from the intro anyways?
Is it me, or does anyone else feel like a. The Dark Queen is a dominatrix, b. she secretly likes it when someone overpowers her, c. she is a dominatrix because no one else has been able to overpower her, and d. she deserves a spanking?
What... What are you? No mere mortal can do this to Battletoads! You shall be praised beyond all!
look up letmesoloher

No one ever talks about this. Thank you!

Lmfao
Damn. Got it down to a science. I remember this took me 3 days to beat as a kid. The level, not the whole game.
bro omfg this game was awsome, u saw the shit it became now?
Very good my friend! This is one of the greatest and most difficult games ever; you rock!

Ah… Clinger Winger.A difficult level, though not impossible if you know what to do.

you are gaming royalty
Classic game, I was never this good though. Always game over at the turbo tunnel.
What did you think of the reboot?
I can tell you how to beat it:
Up, down, up, down, updownupdownupdownupdown...
😆😆😆😆😆😆. My cousins and I never made it past the jet skis floating things. Also weren’t warping …. But damn this game is so hard. Still play it on Computer/NES emulator and it’s still pretty freaking hard…….
Never made it far in the game.. yet it was hyped
I just beat this game for the first time tonight. Thanks for the walkthrough, it really helped!

I did this when I was 11. Very impressive. We should duo sometime. Nobody beats Turbo Tunnel.

One of the hardest games in history, and the final boss is a pushover? Wow, irony's a bitch.

JUEGAZO AMIGO, EN LA INFANCIA

Careful, he's a hero!

Its a shame they made this game for experts only. The graphics are amazing especially in this final stage
fantastic playthrough
FYI: you are the master of the universe,
Awesome. Thanks for uploading it ^^
This is the one I could never beat! I didn't know you had to stay on the thwack sticks while the blow guy exhausted himself!
Súper juego ,pero súper difícil y resulta que ese es el final😲 ,se pasan Nico ,se pasan 😭
you make it look so godamn way!
Самый тяжелый уровень!
Great play through. What a crappy ending for such a hard game.
Dark queen seems surprisingly easy compared to all bosses and all stages.
nice graphics for 8 bit.
i saw all your videos.. amazing!! very nice job
why don't you try a perfect 2 player speedrun .. i wonder if at the very end.. they send 2 ropes instead of 1.. to pick up the other toad. !
They do, but it's actually impossible to do a full normal playthrough of 2P mode. In Stage 11, Zitz will die no matter what in the beginning of the stage. (Which has been fixed in the Rare Replay version) Fortunately, Zitz can join in again in the beginning of Stage 12.
If a ending like this was made today people would be pissed lol
This must've been a nightmare to program back in the early 90s
The final boss is basically "how well can you juggle"?
Man? How you record movie with filter?
How do you record video with the image filter? for me render this video:
/watch?v=Wm1lIqglUXc
It took at least 2 hours...
I still don’t know how they did the effect for this level
A lot of it is probably tricks to make it look like 3D.
For example, the platforms and the yellow Spike Balls that spin around the tower most likely actually move left and right, and the tower itself might be a row of vertical pieces that change depending on how you move, so that it looks as if it is rotating.
Dark Queen is evil. Hot but evil.
it's fucking sexy
This final level goes on for way too long.
The one who will conquist the world
This game was so fun but so damn difficult
I always die on the gold cloud no matter what I do :(
You need to keep jumping.
Never stop until you reach the top
Sooooo... where did the thumbnail image come from?
Jeremy Morton The arcade game
Ahh yeah thanks.
+pollo20x6 did it really? thats fuckin hot.
Dark Queen must be like 4 meters tall.
And what a letdown the ending came to be. They don't even explain who's the girl who appears in the end.
LMAO agreed
If you read the story crawl at the start of the game, you'd know who it is.
they do in the intro
They could have at least put an image of the girl and the battletoads partying in the end, or something. Or the girl pushing Darkqueen over the edge of the top of the tower, hence helping the battletoads win. Who reads the lettering from the intro anyways?
clearly not you, ya dummy. dont complain about something when it is your own fault you cant understand it.
Is it me, or does anyone else feel like a. The Dark Queen is a dominatrix, b. she secretly likes it when someone overpowers her, c. she is a dominatrix because no one else has been able to overpower her, and d. she deserves a spanking?
+Pax Humana So basically a dominatrix who prefers the submissive role?
The only 2% of people whos play this leves knows the hell that is it
Hi! Is it possible to beat the game on an emulator? Also, what controller would you suggest using?
Xbox one controller only not one dual shock and not xbox 360 controller
I see. Not so much of a fan of Xbox controllers, but we'll see.
This is as far as I have gotten.
Эх, обновили бы франшизу в современном то игромире с его возможностями
But not to a plumber or turtle. It looks like she never tried an evil lair fake-out or cloning of any sort.
Worst. Ending. Ever.
Ike but honestly with this being as ball busting hard as it is, no ending would justify it.
"LOL." - Mass Effect 3 players
doesn't matter. Just seeing that screen made you one of the best players ever. Few who played this game ever got to see it (legitimately)
Yeah, who's the yellow bitch anyway ?
Who is that girl, comes after dark queen loss? I cant remember any word about her in conversations between levels
It is princess Angelica.
She is actually mentioned in the opening scene, when the game says "One day Pimple and princess Angelica were out cruisin'".
We need a Battletoad with God of War 3's gore level!
Nice graphics
Here dialogue after losing was so corny & cheesy. Lol
The funny thing is there's no checkpoints if you fail you start the level all over
No, in this level three checkpoints
Este. Es. El. Juego. Más. Arrecho y difícil. Del mundo. Jamás. Lo termine. Termine. Aburriendo me. De lo. Difícil q. Era
No wonder nobody could beat this game
Is it weird that I can beat both versions with no problem?
Look how big pimple is look strong
Ok let's see you do it with two players...
Lo hace parecer tan facil
eu achei essa fase mais facil do que as outras
dark queen is having a seizure...
UNTIL THE NEXT TIME... LOL
All this struggle for an easy final boss and anticlimatic ending
Hard game, stupid ending. Just like Silver Surfer, Super C, Life Force, 1942, Adventures of Dino-Riki.
jue
Wow... That's so bad.
Bot! :D
What an amazingly bad and badly animated final fight.
