Item Description

Ask anyone who played Battletoads as a kid about the Turbo Tunnel and watch their expression change. Rare's 1991 beat-'em-up earned a reputation as one of the hardest games of its generation, and this Genesis port, developed by Arc System Works, brings that legendary gauntlet to Sega's console. Rash and Zitz set out with Professor T. Bird to rescue their fellow toad Pimple and Princess Angelica from the Dark Queen, and every level throws something new at them.

Battletoads is less one game than a dozen stitched together. It opens as a brawler in Ragnarok's Canyon, where the toads' fists swell to giant size and their boots grow into enormous kicks for the finishing blow, then keeps changing genres. You rappel down a deep shaft fighting off enemies on the way, race speeder bikes past the Turbo Tunnel's walls and ramps, surf, climb the coils of giant snakes and outrun a rat in a race to defuse a bomb. Each stage is a new set of rules to learn, and memorization matters as much as reflexes.

On Sega's hardware the game looks great, with parallax scrolling added to some stages, and it keeps the original's sense of humor: exaggerated animations make every knockout land like a cartoon punchline. Purists will point out that the Turbo Tunnel runs a touch faster and smoother on the NES, but the Genesis port is very much its own way to experience the game. Two players can team up, and in Battletoads co-op has always been as much about survival as cooperation.

This was Rare at its most mischievous, a game built to test players and reward the ones stubborn enough to push through. The Genesis cartridge is the way to take on that challenge with a Sega pad in your hands, and to find out just how far you can get before the Turbo Tunnel claims you.
