Yeah and he's got this shitty wind mechanic that makes you blow off the stage..........

For the first section if you lose your whackin stick you are FUCKED.

Bootsy's vids are like the college course in NES we never had. His stuff is invaluable IMHO. I can't wait to get to that level.

OUCH! MBD i kinda feel bad about posting that! but I'm sure you'll get a way better score when all is said and done. I do not feel bad, however, for this footageof JamesBlowbot and Stitchardhead meeting up last week:

 


Holy shit I'm dying over here!

I'm terrible at this game. Never made it past the turbo tunnels. Can't wait to do an easier game like Silver Surfer or something, lol.

Well, just aced the game. 1 death on Volkmire. 1 on Intruder Excluder. 2 on Robo Bitch. 4 on Terra Tubes. 0 on rat race. And then the rat glitches. I had to have 20+ lives left. And I can no death clinger winger and can beat that boss reasonably easy.

Un-godamm-believable.

And I knew better too. I didn't headbutt the Rat on the last section, and you're dead if you don't. Dont' even try. Yet I still did, and then punched him before the final gate like an idiot instead of just letting him win. Fucking worst bug in the history of video games.

Honestly, in my entire life (video game related) that is the most pissed off I have ever gotten at a video game.......I ripped it out of the NES and just glared at it.

I wanted to blow it up.

That being said... I'm itching for another go. Not going to because my son will wake up any minute now. But that's a sign of a fun game. I have only played a fraction of the NES library, but I have played most of the heavy hitters and Battletoads is easily momving up into the top 5

Did you know you can kill the rat which prematurely ends the stage so you don't have to worry about the glitch? I've never played Rat Race so I don't know how difficult this is to pull off.

No, news to me. Doesn't seem especially hard unless the Rat has to fall in that exact spot, which would be random

Hmm, what are the judge's opinions on beating Rat Race via glitch?

Technically you beat 90% of the stage but you skip a boss fight.

I have "never" pulled that glitch off by the way, never tried too many times but it isn't easy as far as I know.

Yeah I don't know what the hell I was thinking when I said that................as much as I would want the glitch to be allowed, I don't think it should be.

This may prove to be invaluable, sir. Thank you!

Making it to Terra Tubes within about 20 minutes steady again now. I'm kicking all sorts of ass in Intruder Excluder; I'm beating Robo Manus within two lives now. That's not something I was doing last summer when I started my quest to complete this beast.

If it prevents a game breaking glitch then I think maybe it should be allowed. But it's up to the mods.

Yeah, the only thing that sucks is that it forces you to reset.....it is debatable.

It also lets you skip some of the most challenging sections of the game

Hey there he is!!

Do you think the rat race glitch should be allowed?

I am still going with no....you get to skip the second, third rat race and the boss.....not to mention all the lives you could potentially lose.

It just adds to the challenge of an already challenging game.

Its never been accurately documented to the best of my knowledge, but as best as I can infer based on my repeated observations, it happens when the rat is visible on the screen as you pass through the 3rd gate. (In other words, you can't have a photo finish... you have to have a substantial lead)
