Item Description

Picture the pitch in 1993: Rare's wisecracking amphibians and the most famous brothers in beat-'em-ups, side by side against a common enemy. Battletoads & Double Dragon: The Ultimate Team makes good on it. The Dark Queen has joined forces with the Shadow Boss, the villain of the original NES Double Dragon, and their plan to conquer Earth begins with a colossal rat-shaped warship bursting out of the moon. Rash, Zitz and Pimple team up with Billy and Jimmy Lee to take it apart from the outside in.

Any of the five heroes is yours to choose, and the crossover is mostly about the fun of seeing them share a screen, though the Lee brothers bring their trademark jump kick along. The structure is pure Battletoads. The opening stage drops you onto the tail of the Dark Queen's ship and introduces a new hanging move as you clamber across the hull. Later levels take you inside for a fresh Turbo Tunnel run, through a gauntlet of dangerous machinery and cable rides, into an Asteroids-style space shooter that ends in a head-on duel with the ship itself, and finally along the length of a rocket, dodging flaming exhaust while battling General Slaughter three times over.

Rare developed every version of the game, and the Genesis cartridge has a strong case for being the pick of them. Its redrawn 16-bit sprites are a clear step up from the 8-bit releases, and Hardcore Gaming 101 singles it out as the version that sounds best and feels closest to the NES game's punchy handling. Two-player co-op comes in two flavors: Mode A lets partners hit each other in true Battletoads fashion, while Mode B switches friendly fire off for players who would like to stay on speaking terms.

It is also hard, in the way only Rare's Battletoads games are hard. Some bosses seem untouchable until you discover the trick to beating them, and the game asks for practice and patience across its five punishing levels. That challenge, plus the sheer novelty of a crossover nobody saw coming, is the appeal: a short, loud, gleefully over-the-top brawler that brings two of the NES era's favorite fighting franchises together on the console where the team-up plays at its best.
