Item Description

Some crossovers feel like a dare, and this is one of them. When the Dark Queen returns with a giant spaceship called the Colossus and an alliance with the Shadow Warriors of Double Dragon, the Battletoads call in Billy and Jimmy Lee to even the odds. Battletoads & Double Dragon: The Ultimate Team was built by Rare on its own Battletoads engine and published by Tradewest in 1993, and it plays like a victory lap for both franchises on the NES.

Five fighters are available, and for the first time in the series all three toads, Rash, Zitz and Pimple, are playable alongside the Lee brothers. The toads bring their famous Smash Hits, finishing blows that morph fists and feet into cartoonishly oversized weapons with names like Kiss-My-Fist and Big Bad Foot, while Billy and Jimmy bring spin kicks, knee drops and elbow drops. New moves let fighters hang from the edges of platforms and kick off enemies, though anyone hanging there risks having an enemy stomp on their fingers.

The seven levels move fast. You start on the tail of the Colossus, battle through its interior corridors and base, then switch to a small spacecraft to destroy the ship from outside while the Dark Queen hurls asteroids, mines and UFOs your way. The finale chases the villains to their escape craft and builds to showdowns with the Shadow Boss and the Dark Queen. Two-player mode comes in two flavors: one where partners can hit each other and one where they can't, a mercy fans of the original game will appreciate. Like the earlier Battletoads, it allows only three continues and no passwords, so the challenge is real.

It looked remarkable for the hardware too, with pseudo-3D scrolling and effects that were unusually sophisticated for the NES. Nintendo Power rated it the second-best NES game of 1993 and nominated it in five award categories. It was left out of Rare Replay, and only the Super NES port has reached Nintendo's online service, so the NES cartridge is the way to play this team-up as it first appeared: a loud, late-era brawler that throws two of the era's toughest beat-'em-up crews into the same spaceship.
