Almost 4 hours? I definitely know what I'll be doing for the next 4 hours, I'll be here listening to your beautiful voice. Don't tell Erin. It's just Mike and Jessie.
A few tips for your next playthrough: Nibbly-Pibblies (the balls) fill you up more depending on color. As Rattle (the orange snake), purple ones fill you the least, orange fill you double, while the yellow (fast) ones fill you triple. You need 4 purples-worth for Rattle to grow an extra segment. You need 4 segments for the Level 1 scale, 5 segments for the levels between 2-9 that have scales, and 6 segments for the Level 10 scale. 9:34 Use the shark to get this 1-UP (You'll need as many lives as you can get). 22:30 Don't bother eating any Nibbly-Pibblies on Level 4, you can just lure the final anvil to land on the scale and open the door for you instead. 58:56 Do whatever you can to get the snake-head! It is an extra continue (in other words, three extra lives). Even if you die to get it, you still get two extra lives. 58:31 Also the platforms in Level 7 spell out "Nintendo GameBoy", check it out! 1:35:05 In the Level 8 swimming section be careful not to despawn so many Nibbly-Pibblies, prioritize the ones that fill you up more (and remember, black ones are just yellow ones after a couple of licks).
This is literally the most fun i've had all week, you're the best Mike! i can always rely on these archives for something entertaining to watch during these dark times. btw you should seriously play the Genesis version one day for a stream.
Dude, use your tongue repeatedly on the water. It fights the current. That way you won't fall. Well, and press up. As a kid I kept getting stuck at the ice level at the end. Of course before the internet I had no idea I was that close to the end.
Oh shit man...I haven`t seen this game since I was a kid playing it on me nes. Brought back so many memories, I completely forgot about it, this is why I follow you guys, thanks a lot man !
Snake Rattle n Roll is a fun Rare game on NES! My cousin had it, and I use to borrow it from him here and there. Another fun Rare NES game is Cobra Triangle. Its like RC Pro AM in a boat. Except it isn't races with laps, its more levels that you have to make it from point A to point B, and power up your boat along the way. I owned it as a kid, and it took me a long time to be able to beat it!
Battletoads is a popular hard game, like Contra. They are many hard games out there for NES, some of them also are made by RARE. A good way to determine difficulty is look at TMR's NES Mania videos and see what games took him the longest, excluding RPG's. I believe he had major challenges with beating Cobra Triangle and Bump 'n' Jump.
Saw this at my dad's friend house 3 hours away from where we live. That Rare collection and cuphead was the sole reason for getting an xbox one. Works nice as a streaming box to hear youtube while gaming or watching twitch when playing in our fall guy crew. Just got 7 wins in fallguys.
@@rezterralico4369 Back then i got stuck in that level so many times, losing who knows how many lives. I managed only once to reach "final" level once (Well it seems it was actually second last level because this game seems to have 11 levels and final level is boss fight) but with last life i died pretty soon... Never once again reaching that level. Actually, today was my first time watching last level of this game and what was ending by checking someone's video and that's how i found out there was one more level...
You can use the tongue while in the water to move better. You can eat the black fish, you just have to hit them multiple times. Always go for the continues (easier when you know to use tongue in water). Tongue should also help on the tricky slopes in the last levels. You have one more stage at the top of the mountain. If you play the Sega version, you have additional levels, and they are even harder. Also, the fish level is the BEST place to rack up points for continues for the last level. You should eat every last fish and push the time limit as close as you can. You should be doing this in every stage if you feel you need continues for the last level. You get a lot of bonus points for eating extras.
@@mikematei It's been forever since I last played it, but from what I can recall, the tongue basically keep you from sliding out of control by reducing your momentum when you repeatedly press it, which is really helpful on the later stages. I could possibly be wrong on this since it's been so long, but I do know it helps with the water. I used to play this game all the time back in the day, as well as the Sega version, since it had more stages (but the music sounds better on NES).
I was more involved with writing the old episodes. I think around kid kool i started to taper off helping with that so I don’t know the later ones quite as well. However, I have always helped make the game choices and still do to this day. Check out the video about the Amiga CD 32 on Cinemassacre Plays. That goes a bit more into detail on my help with one of the newer ones. But basically once I started streaming more I decided to focus on that because I really enjoy streaming.
Brilliant! One of my favourites from childhood, a birthday present, I did eventually beat it but I mostly got to the moon or last level and died. It's a great two player game too
@Ben DC4L It's called Sneaky Snakes, only played it for a few minutes some years ago so I dunno. It's a side-scroller but the gameplay is the same (eating balls).
hey mike i hope you read this, i have a question. there was a video i watched on the Cinemassacre website called batman games but it was a video by you. it was a while ago but i can’t find it anywhere and i’ve been wanting to see it again. the video was great. thanks if anybody else reads this and knows what i’m talking about.
This game is definitely in the Top 10 for music on NES. Level 2's tune is so good. Also Mike: on the fish level (Level 8), you can hit the black fish with your tongue three times to turn them yellow so they can be eaten. Would save you from the "all gone" deaths on that stage.
Loved this game as a kid. Licking feet, toilet seats, and tons of balls was so much fun. the kind of game SO hard that you never really considered it beatable.
Man those Toys 'R' Us video game shelfs of the mid 80's to mid 90's were epic! Rows of damn games. Was so crazy back then. I still rememeber looking at game titles and my pops bought me yoshi's cookies of all things in 1993 when I was 8 years old. I was like this game blows.. I would of rather had Kirby's dreamland or something.
It was great watching you improve on each play through and learn more about the game. You should try to get the big snake heads, they're extra continues. I had to go back and play this, like you said the last level is hell, especially after ice foot, you climb ice stairs and then must leap into a door floating on the wall, took me about 8 lifes. With more continues I think you could do it, I just finished it. At the end it says see you soon, Snakes in Space, but the game was never released
Played this game as a child, borrowed it from another kid in the neighborhood. I want this on my switch so bad, Nintendo gotta do something with the license issues.
I just started watching this video and if i know Mike i know he's gonna love the music for this game, lol. He's a sucker for these catchy NES jiggles :P UPDATE: Well that didn't take long, a few mins in and he's already loving it LOL Mike your a nut!! You got me paying attention to video game music now..lol
This is a great game. I used to play it with a buddy years ago. When I start posting videos I will have to buy me another copy of that game. And yes Robert Picardo is awesome in Voyager.
Yeah. If a game isn't made to support analog controllers, then using one will work like a regular controller, with pushing a stick to a certain point just registering as pressing a direction on a d-pad.
Loved this game as a kid. The closer you get to the end the crazier the stages get. The very precise jumps in the later stages were always my downfall.
@@heyhonpuds i Know And i'd Like To See NINTENDO Release A NEW GameBoy And To REMASTER MOST Of The Video Game's, Like Football, Wrestling, Racing And To Release NEW Video Game's Too And i've Seen The NEW Anologue Console That Was Meant To Play OLD Handheld Console Video Game's, But You Have To Buy The Seperate Add - On's, The SEGA Game Gear, The NINTENDO GameBoy, The ATARI LYNX, They Should Do The Add - On's To For The SEGA MASTER SYSTEM, The SEGA MEGA DRIVE, The NINTENDO NES, The NINTENDO SNES, You Know With It Being Cartridge Based 🙂.
Hilarious stream, too bad I missed it live I could've given you a few tips, like jumping on water to get across currents, and you can eat the black fish you gotta hit 'em 3 times then they become green ones.
911 operator: What's the address of the emergency?
Caller: My neighbor Mike is playing Rare games again.
Almost 4 hours? I definitely know what I'll be doing for the next 4 hours, I'll be here listening to your beautiful voice. Don't tell Erin.
It's just Mike and Jessie.
This is a game Nintendo switch should have on the online NES. Perfect for two joycon play. Loved this game back in the day.

This game has a legendary soundtrack. Was always my favorite part of the game.

As a kid I kept getting stuck at the ice level at the end. Of course before the internet I had no idea I was that close to the end.
Omg..blast from the past..i used to play this game alot with my friend😊 ty for this vid🌠
the more I watch Mike game, the more I'm convinced he's the actual angry video game nerd.
10:13 lol, this game has elongating snakes, balls and manholes.
We all automatically like the music, it's David Wise.
Based and Wise-pilled.
Thanks for adding the full thing here :D
"Which game is it that reverses your controls?" Mike asks while wearing an X-Men shirt.
Or toejam and earl
I always thought it was a snorkel you get to go up the waterfall. I mean he gets little goggles and it looks like maybe a breathing tube.
Oh shit man...I haven`t seen this game since I was a kid playing it on me nes.
Brought back so many memories, I completely forgot about it, this is why I follow you guys, thanks a lot man !
Snake...? Snake!? SNAAAKE!!!
One of my favorite games as a kid. This needs a modern reboot
Snake rattle n roll my favorite underrated rare Nintendo nes game
when player and character are one 31:08
Strangely enough, 27 months is the total length of time that Zelda hasn't been under a curse throughout her life.
This game doesn't get near enough love. Played it alot as a kid, multiplayer is awesome! I have it in the box.
Damn this game hits me hard in the nostalgia

Spend years of your childhood playing this frustrating ass game and see just how much you still like the music.
"Lift me up!" Had me dying laughing.
This is 1 of my favorite NES games. I think it was the 1st game I ever beat. This is a GREAT game.
What a classic game loved this as a kid if you do the first level fast enough you get to the space rocket at the end
Gotga love the childhood kick back games. Great rock n roll soundtrack too. NES had a lot of capabilities that I dont think were fully explored.
Battletoads is a popular hard game, like Contra. They are many hard games out there for NES, some of them also are made by RARE. A good way to determine difficulty is look at TMR's NES Mania videos and see what games took him the longest, excluding RPG's. I believe he had major challenges with beating Cobra Triangle and Bump 'n' Jump.
2:46:45 'Going to be useless if you're tongue isn't long enough' LMFAO, yep, that's she said Mike, HAHAHA!!
When I think of hard games this is one of the ones that first come to mind. But it's just so damn charming and fun to play.
Still have this classic, good Coop fun.
Saw this at my dad's friend house 3 hours away from where we live. That Rare collection and cuphead was the
sole reason for getting an xbox one. Works nice as a streaming box to hear youtube while gaming or watching twitch when playing in our fall guy crew. Just got 7 wins in fallguys.
One of the first games I remember renting and loved it lol
10 years from now Mike will be a full time Elvis impersonator.
He's an Elvis IMPERSONATOR? Are you sure.....?
Good game, very challenging! I came close to beating this when I was a kid, haven't gone back to it
Don't know if James is still looking for it but there's a couple of episodes of Hey! Spring of trivia on youtube.
@ 25:00 was it crash test dummies you were thinking about that reverses controls? Seen it on the AVGN episode
This game is probably harder than Battletoads, yeah. But I still think Cobra Triangle is Rare's hardest NES game, that one is insane.
👍
I used to love this game.
This game always reminds me of Rare Replay on Xbox One 🙃😎
Someday the Space Needle in Seattle will fall and Elvis will somehow make a presence. Conspiracy aside, I like this game.
I remember this game, last time i played this game was like about 15 years ago. I never beat this game but i managed to reach last level.
Well then why the fuck are you telling us, get to the end or nothing punk.
That ice level is total ass hard. Nice man.
@@rezterralico4369 Back then i got stuck in that level so many times, losing who knows how many lives.

As a snake.......you know your life's gone to hell when the toilet seat is out to get you.

Wow, I played this game as a kid and never got that far but I never realized how brutal it was.
Snakes, Snakes I don't know any Snakes Sound like a Snake
My fav game of all time...
thank you for playing this great game! One I had from childhood and this brings back great memories. Your awesome Mike, love you and the nerd!
Hey Mike what do you think about the new AVGN episodes I noticed you never quote them like you do the old ones

@@mikematei Right on thanks man. I hope you're able to write more in the future, those old episodes are classic.
One of my all time favorite games.
The game that reverses your controls that I think you were thinking of was the K rool battle from DKC2
57:32 - 🐓
3:01:02 - 👽
I was thinking of thinking of this game months ago since I played it often but could never remember the name of it.
This is my childhood love that music haha
Brilliant! One of my favourites from childhood, a birthday present, I did eventually beat it but I mostly got to the moon or last level and died. It's a great two player game too
There actually is a sequel to this on Game Boy
@Ben DC4L It's called Sneaky Snakes, only played it for a few minutes some years ago so I dunno. It's a side-scroller but the gameplay is the same (eating balls).

G1 Smokescreen is my favorite too Mike. I found Cobra Triangle by Rare impossible as well. Could never beat the iceberg stage
This game is definitely in the Top 10 for music on NES. Level 2's tune is so good. Also Mike: on the fish level (Level 8), you can hit the black fish with your tongue three times to turn them yellow so they can be eaten. Would save you from the "all gone" deaths on that stage.
Loved this game as a kid. Licking feet, toilet seats, and tons of balls was so much fun. the kind of game SO hard that you never really considered it beatable.
Fast forward to 2020, licking feet, toilet seats and balls has given the world covid. No but seriously thank you for the laugh
I've been holding off giving this a proper play on Rare Replay. Your recent playthrough of Battletoads inspired me to beat it for the first time
"just keep licking balls so your snake gets bigger."
Okay
We tried to finish it many times. Why don't you use the Rocket in level 1 to warp zone directly ?
Does 2 players mode make the game harder in a way ?
"You lick the balls to make your snake longer."
Mike matei-2020
Love this game!!!
This was a catchy title to come across when scanning the Toys R Us shelves in 1989
Man those Toys 'R' Us video game shelfs of the mid 80's to mid 90's were epic! Rows of damn games. Was so crazy back then.

@@mikematei Castle of Dragon is a Hard Ass NES Game
Played this game as a child, borrowed it from another kid in the neighborhood. I want this on my switch so bad, Nintendo gotta do something with the license issues.
Cobra Kai on Canadian Netflicks now. Can't wait to bing it tomorrow.
Why not try and complete Solstice for NES? That was a classic one in my book but hard as all nails too.
Key to conquering Solstice is making a map.
Not sure of difficulty rating but street fighter 2010, total recall, home alone, and zombie ate my neighbors, are a few I've never beat as a kid.
Snake rattle n roll is my favorite underrated nes game made by rare my favorite gaming Developers
Snake rattle n roll has one the best into theme soundtrack
You are a man of good taste. This was one of my favourites as a kid.
@@heyhonpuds thank you homie and indeed is a awesome new game
I mean old school nes game

Hey Mike, are you planning on doing a playthrough of the new Battletoads game?
This is a great game. I used to play it with a buddy years ago. When I start posting videos I will have to buy me another copy of that game. And yes Robert Picardo is awesome in Voyager.
@3:40:43 Wen you can't hold it anymore lol
This game is harder to beat than Battletoads.
The only easy nes game i know is kirby lol
And even that compared to games nowadays isn’t a pushover
James and Mike 2020!
Earthbound was the game your thinking of that reverses your controls when you get the mushroom status
Rare needs to reboot this game!
I was thinking about trying this game with a analog stick , see if it makes it any easier to judge jumps. But probably not.
Yeah. If a game isn't made to support analog controllers, then using one will work like a regular controller, with pushing a stick to a certain point just registering as pressing a direction on a d-pad.
I feel like I've played this before...and it was the Sega Mega Drive version I had played instead of the NES version!
There was a Sega Genesis version?🤔
@@travismcdowell8352 Yes there was and it had a level on the moon.
I had this growing up
Love watching you always.. please play Star tropics some day
