Battletoads

A brawler-platformer about three toads on a rescue mission, remembered for its brutal speed stages.

Rare · 2–4 hrs

Difficulty

A beat-em-up that keeps turning into a different game: bikes, snakes, clambering. Two players can kill each other. The turbo tunnel is fair once you memorize it, which is not the same as easy.

Tips

  • Start here

    Smash the first grunt for the punch upgrade

    A few hits on the first enemy unlocks the bigger smash. In the tunnel, look at the next wall, not the toad. Don't play two-player until you can finish the rat race solo.

  • Advanced

    The snake and the bikes are memory

    There is no improvising the turbo tunnel. Count the gaps. On the snakes, jump at the head, not the coil. A continue is a teacher, not a shame.
