Oh...so close to beating the game, on my very last continue I finally reached the Dark Queen, but I got too greedy with my attacks, it was my undoing, ugh, wanted victory so bad, but too bad, not this game. But hey, now I am really confident, this one will be beaten very soon.

1st death score 502450. Damn mines.


1st continue score 999999. Nice, I maxed the score out.


Ah, finally the big bad bitch herself.


Oh no! I lost.


Yep, game over for me, but soon, it'll be game over for her. I'll be back.

uggh, would have done probably 150k more in this one run, but i died stupidly

You guys are good at racking up score.

The score is all in level 2

yup. on my best run (which i DIDNT get my best score) I got 520k in level 2 alone. those birds are money.

I've been able to rack 635,xxx points after level 2. Most of the points were available in level 2, with the crows stuff.
On my hghest score, I think I racked about 580,000 points after level 2.

Robbie, looks like we died at the same place for the same stupid reason. It was the first time I saw the rat jumping right on my weapon when the battle begin. I think I would have been able to roll the score if it wasn't of this. Ah well.... that was still a very interesting gaming week. Awesome and challenging game.

Who was using the crow's beak to rack point in level 2?
I largely preffered the kick technique, and I was always annoyed cause I was grabbing a beak from time to time by error and just couldn't drop it.

I hate this game. Next.

Shoot us the next contest Nesrulers.
I think I played about 7 hours of Battletoads today, give me something to chill out, I wanna play for fun now!

i used the beak in my attempts. it felt like it gave longer reach and i wouldn't have to move either (so in parts, i could just stand still and get 25k on one bird)

i also got pretty good at getting 100,500 in level 1 O_o

I coulda been a contenda!

Died on the fire level again, right at the finish line.



Yeah, Level 2 is where the points are at... I spent a lot of time practicing racking up points with the crows. I thought maybe I was the only one with that technique

Awesome!
From my raw calcul, I thought that a whole 100,000 was the maximum possible. My best was 98,500.

^ the trick that broke 100k for me was in the weapons, if you pick up one and head butt the rest, that's 6k. Then kick, smash everything else.

Lol! I discovered this as well.

Were you grabbing the first two pigs to kick them on the floor for a substantial 500? Cause I was not.

i was indeed. the first one you could kick once for 500. the second one you could smash down twice and kick twice, then smash one final time.

Edit, whoops that was for the dragon.

for the pigs - yes. i would punch once, throw them, kick, and then kill.

Haha, great technique.
I died several times for being too anal about punching enemies with the perfect technique to rack points. That was pretty stupid considering all the racking was mainly in level 2.

^ i would reset at the end of level 1 if i didn't have at least 90k, but you're right. it didn't really matter at all compared to level 2

man this was fun!
haha!
Almost the 1st of the year
Prizes time

Yeah, I know, level 2, points galore, but I suck at hitting things here, most I ever had for points by the time I got to level 3 was just a little over 200000 points. If I'm lucky I was able to continuously hit a crow enough to get a 1up from it, but most of the time I could juggle crows somewhere between 2-6 times before either missing or having to give up to avoid a hit from another crow.

Wow. I was playing the Japanese version of Battletoads on emulator, and if this is the real thing, boy, their version is a piece of cake, took almost all of the challenge out of it, so easy that I would think almost anyone could beat it. I'm not very good at controlling using a keyboard and I got all the way to the Gargantuan Ducts, only stage I skipped was the ice cavern because I accidentally used the warp in the turbo tunnel. The whole thing is a friggin' joke. The turbo tunnel, many of the walls have been removed, also the part where you have to manually jump across the multiple platforms, they give you ramps, plus it feels slower too. Bosses take less hits, Big Blag went down quick, same goes for Robo-Manus later. The snake pit, many of the spikes have been removed, also, no fast moving snakes, all of them slither across the screen at the same pace. The fire zone, those logs that you have to carefully jump to, not there, instead just more solid ground platforms, screen scrolls slower when riding on the jet, the force beams have larger gaps so fitting through is effortless, especially for the last checkpoint, so easy. In the vertical shaft, some of the gas guns and fans have been removed as well as a few other enemies, even a couple of the electrical shifting floors have been changed to just regular moving floors. The parts in the pipe stage where the gear chases you, most or all spikes have been removed, so outrunning it is just a matter of going the right way, but very little hazard other than taking too long and letting the gear catch up to you, and many other parts of the stage have less spikes too. If I were playing this using a controller, I'd have had it beaten long ago many times over, only reason I lost all my lives here was because I suck at moving uses the arrow keys, I wouldn't stand a chance on our Battletoads this way. Guess the game was considered too hard for them, they got a lame kiddie version of the game, kinda like Ninja Gaiden III, that one when I had played it was a joke too. But having played the Japanese version of Battletoads, makes me think, what could've been really nice is if the Battletoads that we all know so well actually had two difficulties, an easy mode, what they got, and hard mode, our version, would've been very player friendly for everyone, for beginners and pros, of coarse I still would be playing the harder version, only because the easy one is just too easy that it wouldn't even feel like a major accomplishment.
