One more little tip for the turbo tunnels. When the hover pods come, there is a safe zone in the bottom left corner. Just one less thing you need to worry about but during the section.

Check out my comic, The Scientists. It's like a "Genius-centric 'Goonies' that can turn thriller at any moment".

can someone explain the battletoad prank call phenomenon and where it came from??
Heres what I know quite a few year ago, when I was working at GameStop...
Basically that. I heard Anonymous started it. And the original idea was to call the store in Pawn Stars.

Surprised more people haven't participated. I guess the difficulty drove away a lot of folks. :/

It looks like there were 25 players at the end, so that's not too bad. Battletoads is extremely frustrating/difficult and relies a lot on being able to memorize the levels, so it takes a lot of practice for anyone that isn't already familiar with the game going in.
 

Doug summed it up well here.  In all the years we have been playing Battletoads, participation is usually a little lower than normal due to the difficulty of the game.

"Wait...Bimmy and Jimmy??  How'd they make a mistake like this!?  Bimmy isn't even a real name!"

Beware the Bimmy Marsh!

Yeah, I've beaten the game before and I just didn't have the time to put into it this past week. It's a really tough game, but it's worth revisiting for anyone that wants to take a shot at beating it.
