Item Description
Few games in the NES library hit as hard, literally, as Battletoads. Rare built it in 1991 as an answer to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles craze, then pushed every idea further than it needed to go. The Dark Queen has kidnapped Pimple and Princess Angelica, and it falls to Rash and Zitz, guided by Professor T. Bird, to drop onto Ragnarok's World and tear through her forces to get them back.
What set Battletoads apart from other brawlers was how often it reinvented itself. Ragnarok Canyon opens as a beat-'em-up against axe-swinging Psyko-Pigs, with a Walker boss whose boulders you hurl back at it. Wookie Hole lowers you down a crater on a Turbo Cable while ravens try to snip the line. Turbo Tunnel throws you onto a Speed Bike at reckless speed, Surf City puts you on a board bouncing over logs and whirlpools, and later stages bring tower climbs, a frantic race against a rat called Giblet and a maze chase on a unicycle-style vehicle. Hidden warp points even let skilled players skip ahead.
Every punch has a punchline. Smash Hits morph the toads' bodies at the moment of impact: fists balloon into the Kiss-My-Fist, heads sprout ram horns for the Battletoad Butt, and a buried enemy can be booted off the screen with the Big Bad Boot. That variety comes with a reputation. Battletoads is famous as one of the hardest games ever made, Turbo Tunnel alone has humbled generations of players, and two-player co-op is notorious because the toads can knock each other out as easily as the enemies.
It also looked and sounded spectacular for the hardware, with a pounding soundtrack from Rare's David Wise and Mark Knight, and it won seven Nintendo Power Awards in 1991. The toads went on to a crossover with Double Dragon, a spot in the Rare Replay collection and a modern revival, but this NES cartridge is where the legend started: brash, inventive and ready to test anyone who thinks they have quick reflexes.

About the game
Battletoads is the first game of the Battletoads series. The game is a platform scrolling beat 'em up, with varying elements of racing, climbing and vehicle-based obstacle courses. Players start with three lives each time the game is started, which get replenished every time the player continues after getting defeated. The game contains no saving system or password features. The player has a maximum of six hit points that can be replenished by eating flies. It is by some considered to be one of the hardest games of all time, and it have previously been listed at 8th place in IGN's "Top 10 Most Difficult Games to Beat."
