Yeah...uhh...no. It has some glitches, but the gameplays core is not in any way broken. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=82246 2012-08-22T21:15:12 -05.00 Zing 17 Originally posted by: blastocystosis

Who says they'd be playing just the first two levels? The 3rd level really is not that hard. I've seen videos of people no deathing the two player mode as well. It's one of the best multiplayer games on the NES, so I agree with the poll.
How do they no-death it with the glitch?

I will say that if what you folks post is true, then I strike-out the word "impossible" from my post. The kids who voted in this poll still believe that replaying the first two levels of Battletoads forever is more fun than any other two player game released in 1991 for any system (SCAT, Tiny Toons, any number of Game Boy link games, and so on), which is just funny to me.

It's actually interesting that the game won several of the Nester awards that year, despite the likely fact that not a single voter progressed past level 3. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=82246 2012-08-22T10:41:43 -05.00 Zing 17 Originally posted by: Paul

I dont' believe there is a glitch, I'm pretty sure at this campout or the last, two of the guys sat down and beat 2 player Battletoads.

Paging Mog, I know you remember.
See the video I edited in above. There is a glitch, but if you have enough continues, first player could work passed it alone and have the second player use the continue to progress once you reach the next level. Or so that's how I understand it.

I dunno why, but I think that tidbit is pretty cool! I'm still not sure if I would call it broken, however. (I consider the word "broken" being "doesn't work at all"). On one hand, if I understand what occurs correctly, you can still beat the game under normal circumstances that the game allows, you just have to use a continue. On the other hand, if you want to beat the game on co-op and without using continues, it's impossible, so in a sense, it is still broken. Interesting. At any rate, it's still severely flawed, but do-able to highly skilled players.

Though obviously no one knows, part of me thinks that very few reached that far on co-op to even take that into consideration in their voting. Perhaps there's some that did and didn't care due to the fact that you can use a continue (even though they're limited). *shrug*

Edit: I like this thread, I learned something new.

I've never tested this myself, but I believe the reason Battletoads multiplayer is broken is because a glitch occurs on stage 11 (Clinger Winger bikes) when both players are alive. I forget the specifics, but the level is unpassable until one of the players runs out of lives.
This is what I was wondering about.  The whole 'you can hit each other' isn't broken, it was designed that way.  I actually like that about the multiplayer.

I've never made it past the turbo bikes multiplayer, so I wasn't sure if there was an actual bug later on in the game.

For the contest - I bet no one made it that far in multiplayer either!
