That was the last pic I took. I fell off the edge a little after that.

119,500

That's okay, I can verify that it is your setup.

Thanks also Love the comic. Thats exactly how I died the first time

88,500 (Level 2)

I haven't had much time to play lately, but I am making certain I get a participation for each game!

This is my second try. I haven't played this game since I was a kid. Man, the memories! I have said it before, I LOVE games by Rare Ltd!

Woohoo im on a roll 385,000 lvl 5 I believe

218,650 (Level 3)

level 3  190,600

Final score for my last submission is 574,500 fire zone

Game complete (759,050)

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

Managed a small improvement (made it to level 5 - see post on page 2).

I had to end my attempt with lives remaining. I don't think this causes any issue because it appears anybody else who made it to level 5 made it farther than me so there is no question about who performed better according to the rules (most progress wins).

If there is a problem, the judges can decide whether to use this score or my previously posted one (which also appears at the bottom of page 2, in a quoted post from the scorekeeper).

See y'all next week in RAMPART!

317, 350 Level 4 second checkpoint

score updated in original post. Loving my new TV, but alas, no 'real' progress except for a lower score

I managed to beat it once, on my last life. Tried over and over again with no luck. I must think to much.

119,300
Level 3

Thanks for tip. I think it helped me beat it. As I mentioned above to gutsman004, I was able to do it once and no luck since, I guess can't figure for the life on me why its always the last block. I am not giving up in this game yet.

can someone explain the battletoad prank call phenomenon and where it came from??

I would have liked to give it a try, but didn't have a chance to play.  I'm not terribly familiar with it though, so I'd probably only get a participation point anyway.  I've beaten stage 3 on the Genesis version, but I've heard some people say that it's tougher on NES.

It took me hundreds of plays before I was able to master it. I still die at leaste once everytime I get to that point.  You can do it.    Btw a new best for me. Made it to level 7 in less then a half hour YAY

Heres what I know quite a few year ago, when I was working at GameStop (before they completely sucked) between I want to say 2005 and 2008 stores started receiving calls from customers want to preorder Battletoads for a current generation system. Upper boss people said be nice explain there is no such title to preorder ect. All the calls we got were from young kids trying to be funny. I remember it spreading on the internet, everyone needs to do it. If I recall correctly I was told it had to do with the show "Pawn Stars". But I didn't really give a damn, I had more importanting gaming to do, then to worry about what young kids do for pranks. I could be completely wrong, anyone feel free to correct me. But I hope that helps a little.

Congrats!!! Do you die at the race or at the last block?

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.

Most of the time I hit the last block but then others I will miss one of the many platforms at the end & fall to my doom
