Awesome.  Yeah, it's a fun game, gets really tough later, working angles and drawing out the gunmen is key to getting through anything from the ninja level on.

Yeah, the ramps. The second one I can never land. If you hit it going normal speed you only make it like half way. If I push forward I come close but for whatever reason fall off the bottom of the screen and die. I dunno.
I mean, this doesn't make sense to me, no offense.  You can only hit it going normal speed, it just automatically takes you up in the air.  Just hit it, don't push anything.  There's nothing else to say, it automatically jumps for you, if you move around too much you'll hit the pit.

I didn't have too much trouble with the game until the last bosses. I managed to beat the game in one sitting, but it's pretty harsh that if you kill the first final boss and die on the second one, it makes you fight them both all over again especially if you used up all of your high powered ammo on the first guy.

Do you mock me, sir?

I pretty much agree 100% although you could have at least warned me that there were two last bosses and that trying to kill them both with the standard weapon would be so hard that I'd end up with carpal tunnel syndrome.

Hahahaha, this game does that to you, especially if you lose your super guns and have to go regular.  I can mimic the machine gun with my thumb.  Had to save that surprise for you.

Nothing quite says "Surprise!" like the resulting arthritis of the thumb from NES related button mashing!

Nice job, Guil. That was some crazy bird kicking!

I was thinking that the same numbers would be needed to max out by the end of stage 4 on one life. 790-800k really ought to do it. That would need to be a near-perfect run though.

Idea for a future Battletoads contest: Force people to warp from stage 1 to stage 3. I'd be interested to see if anyone could max out the score on one life without the bird level.
Thats a neat idea for sure, Parpunk proposed it in the beginning of the week and I thought it was a nice way to play points while skipping the stage where you can get too much points.

Nice to see you back here Tom
I feared you would skip a few contests for whatever reasons after you decided to skip Ninja Gaiden. I don't want to be the guy that wins only when Tom is away

 


I'm still playing battletoads and recorded my last run.
I used the warps and skipped level 1,2,4 and 7.
My score was just above 600.000 after i beat the game.


I think that even with point pressing and beating level 4 and 7 you çan't max out the score on one life without the bird level.
Unless you farm points.
