5. ToxieRules - 133
6. gutsman - 123
 

I'm going to have to make up a lot of ground to get a score like that with me barely playing like I have been most of the time.  I would have 119 with participation scores the rest of the way.  I'd be happy with Top 5 overall!

The Rockers dude looks like Ziggy Stardust. If you use him you can pretend it's a David Bowie game.

OK. I am definitely not posting a score for this one. Didn't have time today, and Saturday makes 3 years that I was deemed free of cancer.
I will likely spend Friday night, Saturday and most of Sunday in debauchery, celebrating that.  
No time for video games this weekend.

This is great news Bea.
I'm overjoyed for your good health.

Battletoads' own ice stage is less frustrating than this, haha.

Got to the last part of the jungle last night and kept slipping off due to carelessness. Gonna post a pic here from work at breaktime on an emulator, to at least get my participation this week, in case I can't get back to it at home.

Sucked it up this morning after spending 20 minutes trying to get my NES to play the game. I'm on vacation after work today, so no more updates from me 'till Wednesday.

I'm up to over 10 runs this morning, all ending at 6-2. Sheesh. I don't want to submit a score until I at least get to 6-4.

EDIT: Here's my contribution; 47,300 6-4. Had to fight the Maniacs in 6-2 twice, but pretty solid overall. Managed to get through 6-3 in one shot!

Stage 2

I had never played this game, and I think it's decent.  I don't think I'll get anymore time with it this weekend though, so this is all I've got.

I didn't have high expectations for this one but I'm pleasantly surprised. This is the closest thing to the Battletoads experience I've played so far (platforming mixed with beat em up, the feeling of being able to continue indefinitely to make slow but steady progress for practice, tricky moves that require precision).

I still haven't beat 3-2 but that shouldn't be too long. Hopefully I can make it to 6-4 and then actually start working on lowering my score.

Well good luck.  5-1, 5-2,and 6-2 are all significantly harder than 3-2.  Stupid platforming.

I'm on 5-2 now (continue practice run - not a real run). It's not too bad, but I can't figure out how to beat the boss without running out of time. It's like I'm not getting enough hits in. The platforming is challenging and sometimes straight up cheap (latter part of 5-1 especially) so I'm sure it will be frustrating once I'm actually putting in a real run.
