@@jeremykrause9443 I think that's what makes it so cool, variety. Battletoads can be a beatemup, a platformer, a reflex racing game... whatever is needed to keep the game fun.
This game just reeks of Saturday morning cartoon nostalgia and I love it for that! Plus even decades later, I still laugh pretty hard at Billy/Jimmy's reaction to the bosses approaching XD
When ever I played this game as a kid I needed a Snickers, a can of Coca Cola and a bag of Doritos. My mom wouldn’t hear from me for hours. Those were the days.
I played this game so much as a kid, absolute banger of a SNES game. Took me years to finally beat it, I was so damn proud of myself. Dave Wise knocked it out of the goddamn park with this soundtrack! These songs still get stuck in my head to this day.
I’ve been looking for this game for 20+ years. I’ve spent hours searching. It’s so awesome to hear the music and see the gameplay. I was always stuck on the spaceship. Takes me back to my huge wooden TV, sitting on the floor playing this while all my sisters were half watching.
I was always more of a fan of Double Dragon myself, but this was still a pretty fun game to play through, and nowhere near as hair-pullingly frustrating as the other Battletoads games were. I absolutely love this game's soundtrack!
rcblazer Seriously, this one can be really fun because you don't have to be God to finish it. And totally agree with the soundtrack, but I think David Wise doing music all but guarantees it'll be great.
Clearly, Battletoads Double Dragon is the best Battletoads game because it's difficulty is toned down compared to the first game on NES which required insanely perfect precision and memory
Agreed. We had this one but not Battlemaniacs and looking back, im happy we didn't lol. Battlemaniacs looks prettier but this is a much more solid game👌
.. ..that music.. ....THAT MUSIC!!!! This game was my introduction to the "Battletoads"!! Used to play this all the time at my friends house with his buddy on the "Genesis" when I was in grade school.. .. ..I was so jealous!! xD XD(all three of us took turns in 2-player mode in per stage or per "Game Over".. .. ..Yup!! I'm a 90's kid) My friend and his buddy would always debate over who gets to play as "Jimmy"... .. and I don't blame 'em.. .."Jimmy" ROCKS!! "Rareware" needs to do another "Battletoads" crossover like this again with another game property.. .. .. .. ..by the way, this my sound cliché but, do you have a favorite "Battletoad"??
Billy's the exact same as Jimmy, as are all the 'toads. There are only 2 character archetypes in this game. Zitz is my favorite 'toad; he absolutely crushes in the best 'toads game ever (coin-op). Best smash hits -- all hi-tech & "smarty-like". Morgan Ziegler, baybee! A true leader.
I believe I have them all, NES, GB, SNES, and Genesis carts, got them before they went up in price. Probably the only game where I got all the ports, and within 6 months too.
Yep, because of that part you're hanging from the ceiling over a death pit and you get zapped off. If I didn't lose all my lives there the asteroids level finished me off!
Bro it took me like 3 years to finally beat this game!! Toughest one for me first was the third boss, then the meteor, after that it got easy for me lol
@@TheDickHead115 i was only 4 and half year old when my father bringed this game, at the age of 5 I already finished it....my father finished it in only 3 months
I recently noticed that in classsic games (almost) all soundtracks when Dark Queen is the final boss is almost the same (same rythm,same structure and same shame easy dificulty of hers) Why Microsoft? why you ruined Battletoads with that bad 2020 childish reboot???
It's a bit less substantial than Battletoads was, but the difficulty level is *far* lower here, the music is awesome per Rare's standard, and it's a blast with a buddy.
Some stuff might get harder compared to NES or Genesis (especially Genesis) but the overall game for me in terms of difficulty the SNES port is 2nd place (based on hardest to easiest, excluding the GB port) feels about right overall between easy and hard (and great music), Genesis for me is the easiest version and the NES the hardest (but also amazing at the same time, heck the game original release was on the NES in the 1st place and showed some stuff the console had to offer in terms of graphics), and compared to the original Battletoads, is not as punishing as said game (but still applies the fact that if one player loses all lives, both players are sent back to either the start of the current stage or any of it's checkpoints, stage 6 and 7 are the shortest anyway), and the Dark Queen boss fight is kinda anti-climatic on the SNES and Genesis (despite on the Genesis the Queen being able to do her NES version shenanigans, but since she moves almost as slow as the SNES version... maybe even slower than the SNES version, you really need to have bad luck for that to happen).
WOW!! I’ve been looking for the title of this game for YEARS. After so many attempts I saw a thread about forgotten SNES games and recognized one of the characters. Time to play again.
SUPER NES was such a big step up from Nintendo. Those were some fine graphics that opened up a world of new gaming experiences such as MK, STREET FIGHTER, EARTHWORM JIM, KILLER INSTINCT, DUKE NUKEM 3D, STARFOX, ETC
Only in this game can you say "Turbo Tunnel" and "piss-easy" simultaneously. Also, unlike in the original game, the PCs have every right to only be scared by bosses.
had so much fun with this game. remeber playing this with my brother. he was trying to run and kick the enemies but ended up kick my ass and then i fell off the spacechip, and this game made us tired of laughing. miss those days.
The first 22 minutes watching him absolutely kick ass without taking any hits. Then that freaking spaceship level. Even he had to have unlimited lives to beat it.
I always loved how the bad guys came up on the elevators like they were going to their shitty office job. "Goddammit...another one of these assholes breached the shop *SIGH* I swear if Linda packs me that damn tuna casserole again.."
This version has good music and worst sounds (such as kicks and surrounds). Furthermore sounds such as jumping, crawling, arriving elevator, rising press, electricity etc etc... were simply cut out in this port. Considering all the advanced of SNES it's at least strange.
In my adulthood its amazing how I understand how important strategy and timing is. But when I was a kid, I thought it was all ego and fly by the seat of my pants. Now with 3 kids, I know how to win, but don't have the time. Such is life.
This game rocks in either version, each of it have it pros and cons. A very good crossover, the dark queen is hot and linda lash too. NES and genesis ending is better, but i still love all versions.
I don't remember much about this game but I do remember Abobo knocking my ass around like a ragdoll on the first level. I beat him several times but it never felt like it got any easier.
The original version of this game is the NES version, which was released a half year before the other versions. The second version is the Sega Genesis (MD, literally “Mega Drive”) version. The third version is this version, the SNES version. The last version is the Gameboy (GB) version, the only version that prohibits multiplayer. Based on my experience, as far as difficulty is concerned, the Gameboy version is for novices, as it basically allows the player to land easily preemptive attacks. The NES and MD versions are for casuals. The SNES version (this version) is for experts (or hardcore gamers). If you face two flying ‘Bots, in the GB, NES, and MD versions, one stands idle while you shake down the other, but in the SNES version, one ‘Bot will shoot while you try to take out the other. When you’re clinging to the bottom in the first stage, in the SNES version, those aliens will stomp you. In the other versions, they don’t bother to attack you. When you attack a buried enemy, you have less range in the SNES version than in other versions.
On the space level, you can hold down a button, the shoot button I think, but maybe a different one, but it gives you a reticle for locking on and firing homing missiles. Use them for the UFO's up until the grey one to kill them easier.
22:30 reeks a combination of Solar Jetman's jetpod gameplay with its final stage filled with asteroids to shoot down. I feel like this was programmed with that game in mind.
I remember playing this when i was like 8 years old with my cousins. I dont ever remember getting past the asteroid level so its nice seeing how it ends
There are works of fiction that absolutely personify an era they’re in.
This game (Especially the soundtrack) was the Nineties distilled into a game.
Two of the most iconic beat 'em up game franchises in history...together in one game.
Not sure if Battletoads counts as a pure beat em up game. Lots of levels involve quick timing and instincts rather than just fighting through.
@@jeremykrause9443 I think that's what makes it so cool, variety. Battletoads can be a beatemup, a platformer, a reflex racing game... whatever is needed to keep the game fun.
@@jeremykrause9443platfom and beat em up
What about Joe & Mac...the various Ninja Turtles games...c'mon now
It's on NINTENDO SWITCH NOW
This game just reeks of Saturday morning cartoon nostalgia and I love it for that! Plus even decades later, I still laugh pretty hard at Billy/Jimmy's reaction to the bosses approaching XD
Kinda brings the Arcade Caveman Ninja & SNES Donkey Kong games to mind, they reacted the same way to the level bosses too.
When ever I played this game as a kid I needed a Snickers, a can of Coca Cola and a bag of Doritos. My mom wouldn’t hear from me for hours. Those were the days.
Fuckin A' right!
Could never past this game. Kept us suuper busy
Holy childhood ))
Agreed
A Pepsi 2Liter, gummi bears and Kit Kat for me.
I played this game so much as a kid, absolute banger of a SNES game. Took me years to finally beat it, I was so damn proud of myself.
Dave Wise knocked it out of the goddamn park with this soundtrack! These songs still get stuck in my head to this day.
Friend let me borrow it beat it in a few days when I was 11
Dave the wise man is the best composer
One of the most underrated games ever.
i know it's kind of off topic but does anyone know of a good website to watch newly released series online?
@Brixton Kaysen Flixportal :P
@Antonio Chris thank you, signed up and it seems to work =) I appreciate it!
@Brixton Kaysen you are welcome xD
Loved playing this game! This music was awesome too
I’ve been looking for this game for 20+ years. I’ve spent hours searching. It’s so awesome to hear the music and see the gameplay. I was always stuck on the spaceship. Takes me back to my huge wooden TV, sitting on the floor playing this while all my sisters were half watching.
Welcome back to the Nintendo Switch, BATTLETOADS/DOUBLE DRAGON!
this game has aged well :D
My first game played ,I was 6 back then 😊
I loved the opening intro to this game, especially because Dark Queen had dat ass.
NomnomJawsnomnom really lol😂
lol
2:08
Yes she do got a nice butt.
Battletoads & Double Dragon (1993) was the best game of my childhood. The graphics and gameplay are far ahead of their time.
I was always more of a fan of Double Dragon myself, but this was still a pretty fun game to play through, and nowhere near as hair-pullingly frustrating as the other Battletoads games were. I absolutely love this game's soundtrack!
rcblazer Seriously, this one can be really fun because you don't have to be God to finish it. And totally agree with the soundtrack, but I think David Wise doing music all but guarantees it'll be great.
Аррпукпррррр
An underrated musical score, for sure...
The Toads by the end of the game: “It was all down to team work!!”
Jimmy: “Am I a joke to you?”
When I was a kid I used to laugh my ass off at the scared animation the characters make before a boss appears.
Same though!! I have such great memories of me and my cousins laughing so hard at that
Me Too! Dude I was laughing real hard
Same 😂
It was funniest on the NES version.
@@PaloJaurezNES much better than SNES
That stage 3 theme is 🔥🔥🔥
That guitar sample is dope. The SNES had the Sony sound chip which allowed it to record live instruments opposed to a synthesizer like the Genesis.
That's why I prefer the SNES over the Genesis and NES Versions, you actually get the good music that the makers intended
If you’re talking about the music 🎶 on level 2, then I totally agree. I’ve always loved that tune!
A trilha sonora desse jogo é uma das melhores da história dos jogos! Nostalgia pura!!
Clearly, Battletoads Double Dragon is the best Battletoads game because it's difficulty is toned down compared to the first game on NES which required insanely perfect precision and memory
Agreed. We had this one but not Battlemaniacs and looking back, im happy we didn't lol. Battlemaniacs looks prettier but this is a much more solid game👌
This is the only one I remember playing. Maybe it's just because I was a little kid, but I still sucked lmao.
Is that true? That the difficulty is toned down in this one? If that's the case then I might buy it
.. ..that music.. ....THAT MUSIC!!!!
This game was my introduction to the "Battletoads"!!
Used to play this all the time at my friends house with his buddy on the "Genesis" when I was in grade school.. .. ..I was so jealous!! xD XD(all three of us took turns in 2-player mode in per stage or per "Game Over".. .. ..Yup!! I'm a 90's kid)

Rash
Pimple, no matter what entry of the Battletoads. Always Pimple, have many great fights and memories kicking butts with friends!

Rash was the man.... and I always teamed up with my older brother and he played always as Jimmy Lee because he was the best Dragon
I would always play as Jimmy and my cousin would play as rash when we were little
the music and sound fx for this game were flawless
I have recently done a full remake on my channel taking the best elements from snes AND genesis, feel free to let me know what you think :)
i've played nearly every port of this game. loved them all.
nes was the best port for me tbh
ditto. was the first one i played. :D
maxacorn The NES version was the original! :) This, the GB and the MD versions were ports of it
I believe I have them all, NES, GB, SNES, and Genesis carts, got them before they went up in price. Probably the only game where I got all the ports, and within 6 months too.
One of the best game soundtracks ever!
I agree dude fucking great!
That game is sucks I can't even beat the game.
Nes Version better
Idk how as a kid I couldn’t get past the level where you grab the women by their hair and simultaneously punch them in the face
Same, dude. Took me a TH-cam video years later to see the other stages. Good Times though
Lol same this Game was so hard
Yep, because of that part you're hanging from the ceiling over a death pit and you get zapped off.
If I didn't lose all my lives there the asteroids level finished me off!
@@KingPBJamesI LOVE how everyone had the same frustrations 😂.
I could never get past the rope part in level 3
I would always play this one with my friend when I spent the night at his house. Good times!
Who’s here in 2021 watching this gem. Man the nostalgia!
I dont remember this game being that easy when I was kid .
Bro it took me like 3 years to finally beat this game!! Toughest one for me first was the third boss, then the meteor, after that it got easy for me lol
@@TheDickHead115 i was only 4 and half year old when my father bringed this game, at the age of 5 I already finished it....my father finished it in only 3 months
I highly doubt t you beat this game at the age of 5.
Yeah im gonna have to call bs on that too lol@cherokeefit4248
Soundtrack in this version is awesome, especially stages 1,3,5 and final one! Genesis didn't stand a chance)
I recently noticed that in classsic games (almost) all soundtracks when Dark Queen is the final boss is almost the same (same rythm,same structure and same shame easy dificulty of hers)
Why Microsoft? why you ruined Battletoads with that bad 2020 childish reboot???
I had this game for Genesis lol.
I love how Bimmy and Jimmy and the Battletoads are in one game.
Ha! Ha! Bimmy and Jimmy. AVGN DD3!
I always loved the music from 5-1. It's just so 90's and awesome!
The soundtrack on this game was so good. I have two of the stage themes in my music playlist. 😎
I really like the scene 5 song
I swear this game and f-zero had the best in game music of my childhood.
6:43 "Even I could beat Abobo" Yeah, Sure...
It's a bit less substantial than Battletoads was, but the difficulty level is *far* lower here, the music is awesome per Rare's standard, and it's a blast with a buddy.
Yeah, the music is really good.
that awesome move at 4:29 hahahaha
NintendoComplete oh yeah

I still rember playing this with my best school friend just after school at his house with his buddy's wow miss these days,,,,,,,,
This game was my freaking childhood. Also, anybody else agree that this game had the most kick butt music ever invented in a game? It's so dope dude.
One of the best snes games ever to play with friends
This game has some really good music.
He is the same person who did the donkey kong games music
I have recently done a full remake on my channel taking the best elements from snes AND genesis, feel free to let me know what you think :)
... and bad sounds compared to the nes version
God, I fricking love this rock tune in the beginning...
Always remembered that music from Level 2-1.
I have recently done a full remake on my channel taking the best elements from snes AND genesis, feel free to let me know what you think :)
Bro, this is one of my favorite beat 'em ups. Played this game all the time on SNES with my younger brother.
WOW!! I’ve been looking for the title of this game for YEARS. After so many attempts I saw a thread about forgotten SNES games and recognized one of the characters. Time to play again.
I had The Ultimate Team version of this game on my first console and it quickly became my favourite game ever!
I love the way everyone looks when they're getting the sh*t beat out of them. Especially the guy's throwing dynamite. 🤣
thanks you. Nostalgie! love this game. come back childhood :]
I remember renting this from 20/20 video and playing it with my brother for hours. Such a classic game in my eyes.
One of the best game ost’s❤
Epic intro with awesome artwork really sells it !
My childhood, re downloaded it and couldnt even get past the first goddamn level with my little brother
Recuerdo el super intro de este juego, lo mejor, el juego en comparacion deja mucho que desear, gracias por subirlo
"The 'copter heads up into space" Wait, what?
And Marvel thought they were doing the biggest crossover of all time, lol.
The Battletoads vs Double Dragon OST is making me feel super nostalgic. Haven't heard any other TH-camrs using Battletoads OST before
The Dark Queen's stage theme is 🔥🔥🔥🔥.
The whole game bad*ss.
She is pretty hot too (its a pity she was ruined on the reboot)
Our Dark Queen forever will be that hot black-dressed villainess
SUPER NES was such a big step up from Nintendo. Those were some fine graphics that opened up a world of new gaming experiences such as MK, STREET FIGHTER, EARTHWORM JIM, KILLER INSTINCT, DUKE NUKEM 3D, STARFOX, ETC
one of the best (if not the best outright) crossovers ever made in the history of gaming :D
I'm from the future playing this game on Nintendo Switch Online
Only in this game can you say "Turbo Tunnel" and "piss-easy" simultaneously. Also, unlike in the original game, the PCs have every right to only be scared by bosses.
Thee crossover of epic proportions!
had so much fun with this game. remeber playing this with my brother. he was trying to run and kick the enemies but ended up kick my ass and then i fell off the spacechip, and this game made us tired of laughing. miss those days.
Best theme song for any video game
Man this brings back memories!!!
This was such a fun game back then!!! I lost a ton of sleep due to playing this game!!
The punch sounds were funny XD
Great game. Tough as nails though. Never was able to beat any of the Battletoads games
The first 22 minutes watching him absolutely kick ass without taking any hits. Then that freaking spaceship level. Even he had to have unlimited lives to beat it.
One of my favrite snes game it was soo cool.. so many times i played this
The music on this game is great!!!
This brings back so much memories 😢 I had this on the genesis
I always loved how the bad guys came up on the elevators like they were going to their shitty office job. "Goddammit...another one of these assholes breached the shop *SIGH* I swear if Linda packs me that damn tuna casserole again.."
Fave character was the green toad. Used to love making the big foot move 😂 this is my top 3 snes games for sure!
Dave Wise composed this?!
Yeah, it's also a much better soundtrack than Battlemaniacs
I'll be darned
the_randomizer Yeah, he's a pretty amazing guy like that
As long as it wasn't the Dave Wise who scripted the pilot.
This version has good music and worst sounds (such as kicks and surrounds). Furthermore sounds such as jumping, crawling, arriving elevator, rising press, electricity etc etc... were simply cut out in this port. Considering all the advanced of SNES it's at least strange.
BEST SOUNDTRACK
In my adulthood its amazing how I understand how important strategy and timing is. But when I was a kid, I thought it was all ego and fly by the seat of my pants. Now with 3 kids, I know how to win, but don't have the time. Such is life.
On summer break, my cousin and I tried beating this almost every day and we finally did it before going back to school. Good times
Fire game and Music too !!! Огонь игра и Музыка тоже !!!
This game rocks in either version, each of it have it pros and cons. A very good crossover, the dark queen is hot and linda lash too. NES and genesis ending is better, but i still love all versions.
One of the few games that I have all versions for, NES, Gameboy, SNES, and Genesis.
The crossover nobody saw coming
7:54 *the nostalgia OMG* 😭😭
It's coming to the Nintendo switch 😎
I don't remember much about this game but I do remember Abobo knocking my ass around like a ragdoll on the first level. I beat him several times but it never felt like it got any easier.
I own this when i was a kid. Very addictive and funny games
The original version of this game is the NES version, which was released a half year before the other versions. The second version is the Sega Genesis (MD, literally “Mega Drive”) version. The third version is this version, the SNES version. The last version is the Gameboy (GB) version, the only version that prohibits multiplayer.
Based on my experience, as far as difficulty is concerned, the Gameboy version is for novices, as it basically allows the player to land easily preemptive attacks. The NES and MD versions are for casuals. The SNES version (this version) is for experts (or hardcore gamers).
If you face two flying ‘Bots, in the GB, NES, and MD versions, one stands idle while you shake down the other, but in the SNES version, one ‘Bot will shoot while you try to take out the other. When you’re clinging to the bottom in the first stage, in the SNES version, those aliens will stomp you. In the other versions, they don’t bother to attack you. When you attack a buried enemy, you have less range in the SNES version than in other versions.
I used to call those road block things at 13:03 hamburgers as a kid..
im here because I suddenly remembered this game and its my childhood
On the space level, you can hold down a button, the shoot button I think, but maybe a different one, but it gives you a reticle for locking on and firing homing missiles. Use them for the UFO's up until the grey one to kill them easier.
Hey how did you get 100 percent of the game of battleToad double dragon on snes.
Prof: this big ship is a piece of cake
Jimmy: I lost about 5 lives to defeat it 🤣🤣🤣
37:59 that is exactly the face i would make to when seeing that dime piece
22:30 reeks a combination of Solar Jetman's jetpod gameplay with its final stage filled with asteroids to shoot down. I feel like this was programmed with that game in mind.
I have searched for this game for like 10 years thinking it was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game
can i use your gameplay as the background of my video? I leave your channel in the description.
This are the days wen you use to go to your friend he house and play together!!
I've played this game dozens of times and never considered for even a moment being one of the Double Dragon guys. 'Toads all the way.
What a banger this game was
To quote Ren and Stimpy, "Memories"... However, the twins would have been my last choice over 3 mutated toads.
You’re legendary to be able to beat this game in one credit. This game is awesome but it’s unforgiving. Like the nes and snes game battletoads
I remember playing this when i was like 8 years old with my cousins. I dont ever remember getting past the asteroid level so its nice seeing how it ends
I think developer Software Creations provided technical assistance for both Battlemaniacs and the SNES version of Battletoads/Double Dragon.
The game's awesome !
