Everyone's talking about how hard this game is, but can we just talk about how fucking amazing these graphics for the NES are?! These are on Kirby Adventure's levels of colorful and detailed. (Both also have parallax scrolling too!)
lol yeah, pros who cheat, sorry but tool assist is just a "nicer way". i'd love to get my hands on a cartridge of this and an old nes to see if i can do it for real.
This game is only hard until you memorize everything. Only 3 moments in this game are "random", fireballs + missles in volkmires, and the mines in surf city.
It's fun how this game is considered one of the toughest games ever, yet so many people have so many good memories related to it. I was one of the many who never completed the game, but I had so much fun with it. The Turbo Tunnel was hell with friends, but really fun to play too. Something about Battletoads was very special, while being difficult it was still entertaining. Props to Rare for another great game.
The graphics for this game on the NES where ground breaking for the time. This game pushes the system to its limits. Some of cutscenes between Stages look like early 16 bit . But all Flashy graphics and bells and whistles aside this game ranks a 20 on a scale from 1-10 in terms of difficulty. I remember playing this game at my step cousins house in Long Island and could never beat the turbo tunnel.
I remember being in grade school and beating this game. I told my friends and they all thought I was flat out lying. No one had ever made it pasted the Turbo Tunnel, not even my old brother. I Studied this game for weeks to master it, my bother made me play though for him to prove I wasn’t lying. Now for Ghost & Goblins, fuck that game. My brother did master Ninja Gaiden. Something I could never do, until the NES classic came out. After damn near 3 decades I finally beat that damn game!
@doshemekluta i used savestates, its just that i used an emulator that can rerecord, it would record the input of what i do, then i play back the input and record the playback, this was also the first time i beat the game, and got past the level after the snake pit
@Sneep29 actually this was my first time getting past the ice zone, usually i would go through the time warp on the hoverthings but since its a longplay i got to do every level, it was also the first time i beat the game
NES limitations has nothing to do with this, BattleToads was released 3 years after Ninja Gaiden 1 and a year after Astyanax and it still had far worse looking ending. Being a NES game is definitely not an excuse.
How is Ninja Gaiden and Astyanax an Excuse for that? Try to remake Battletoads and Give it a Well done Ending with Just limited to do it with *8 Bits* in Ages where the Technology Wasn't so Advanced like Today.
Turbo Tunnel wasn't super hard, it was just the introduction to the game difficulty spike. It intimidated a lot of players, and they never moved past it. I think it was brilliant to put it at the start of the game. Imagine if it was near the end? You got to it, you died. Restarted, got back to it, died again. Eventually, you had it down. I played this game for the first time in fifteen years a few days ago, my fingers still remembered how to get through the Turbo Tunnel.
I remember this game actually has warp zones in certain levels. You have to do certain things to make the white dots appear then jump in the white dots.
Excellent job my man... That's what i call a real great player. I've really enyioed watching your style. It took me several months for do it! Greetings from Peru.
This was my all-time favorite NES game! It is a very hard game indeed, but it’s a game repetition & practice. Bet I had over 100 hours before I finally beat the game. Thanks for the memories.
@Nevermooorik lol, when i was little i got to that part so much i did that part in this video off of memory, especially the last part where it goes by really fast, i memorized where the teleport is also which i didnt do in this video for the purpose of the longplay
I love Turbo Tunnel. Lately I've been playing and taking the stage 1 warp just so I can mess around in Turbo Tunnel, jumping the tall barriers, maybe clearing it, maybe having to continue and start over. Something about that level's just a lot of fun for me.
BATTLETOADS for NES - It´s a hard wicked game. The MOST hard game I have ever played. Let me tell something, then i was around 13 years old, i played this game for the first time, and could not clear the third level. Now, 18 years later, i bought this game, and made the third level. Have been stocked so far at ELEVATOR SHAFT; the boss. he is hard to beat....but as it says, this is only the beginning!!
I totally agree on the Turbo Tunnels. That level is all just memorization and getting the rhythm down and keeping calm. That's really all it is. As for Volkmire's Inferno. The walls that beep and charge at you at an insanely fast speed, the last two tend to get me a lot cuz of the perfect timing you need. It's like if you move too early, you get hit by the wall you're going through to reach the last wall. Move too late by just a bit, and you slam into the last wall and die.
Well... I think the ninja turtles didnt age well. Battletoads on the other hand did. Some months ago, there was a new battletoads game that got released
What pisses me off is that after years without an entry in the Battletoads series, Microsoft/Rare decides to put Rash in Killer Instinct as dlc and rereleases two of the past games in a Rare collection. Not like these beat em ups would actually sell though in an industry dominated by first person shooters and adult/realistic games. I miss this era of gaming..
Back in 1991, there was a device called _Game Action Replay_, and, connected between the NES and the game, this device allowed save states to almost any game. The beauty of this device was if you ever mess up, you press a couple of buttons and you pick up almost *exactly* where you left off. It didn't offer special powers like Game Genie, it just helped you immensely where if you mess up, you didn't have to go back all the way to the beginning of the stage, it puts you right at the moment before you died, where you can keep trying *until you get it right.* What does this have to do with Battletoads, you might ask? Well, Battletoads is one of the hardest games ever made, so the GAR device was like a *godsend* to people like me who try our damnedest, but still hated going all the way back to the beginning to beat the level. I could never beat that game without the GAR device. If you can, praise to you! Battletoads was that damn hard!
Let me remind the noobs who do not know. This is the hardest NES game created. I was working on making a similar video however after seeing this mans work, I quit lol. Nice rush, done in a fraction of the time it would have taken me. Here is a true prodigy. I'd like to see the self proclaimed call of duty noobs I mean prodigies try this and get past even the third or fourth level. Nicely done. And to think I was playing this when I was five... WTF
the most nightmareish levels for me were the snake world and bike race with that saw.... the bike level was mostly done by a psychopath since even slighest mistake and it was over... personaly I liked the skuter level with fast moving walls xD
Remember when my friend bought this game when it came out... Such a great game and characters, but man this was way too hard! Biggest flaw still was in 2player mode where players could harm/hurt each others... Only barely made it to the ice stage, but i only played this on 2player mode so i guess that counts as achievement.
The first level was so harmless and fun. How quickly things changed in this game xD. Not that it will matter at the end of my life, but I'm happy to say I did beat this, once.

never managed to pass the half of it, maybe ill give it a shoot now again
The first 2 levels of this game sure were fun...
...
...
NSturm451 same here. I couldn’t get past those high speed jet things.
I hate level 2, but the turbo tunnel is easy for me
a random guy how?!-
@@westter8164 same bro
Yup, I ended at the snakes too. Hah! only over half the game left.
I never made it pass the snakes but I can say I threw my control at least a million times saying "man they cheating" playn this shit. good ol days.
never played this nes game but it looks impossible ._. especially that tunnel level
turbo tunnel is not so hard
@Miles Goodison-Fearon yeah, compared to that one, Turbo Tunnel seems like child's play.
Volkmires Inferno is hell.
In my opinion the hardest stage in the game.
Same as the last stage. It goes on forever
Even the long play guys can't beat this without losing a man or two! This goes to show how hard this game actually is!! Even for the pros!!
***** Its okay man! This game will make you drank heavily!
lol yeah, pros who cheat, sorry but tool assist is just a "nicer way". i'd love to get my hands on a cartridge of this and an old nes to see if i can do it for real.
This game is only hard until you memorize everything. Only 3 moments in this game are "random", fireballs + missles in volkmires, and the mines in surf city.
I think this game still hold the title as the most difficult console game ever made.
This is the hardest game in the world
No, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
nope silversurfer
There are harder games than this but this is one of those, where you actually tried to make the effort to do so.
But yeah, this is well-known and it's like rally without a map reader.
Try playing the Ninja Gaiden Series.
The world of Longplays makes these impossible games look so easy! lol
+SuperMarioKid64 you mean chuck norris makes these games look so easy
+Jyothi Murthy that meme has been long dead brother.
chuckobscure what you means for tool-assisted?
They get a really annoying person to help them play the game.
@@electricalblood5112 tool assisted as in cheating. Letting a computer play the game for you.
The level design of this game is just brilliant :o So much variety and innovation...too bad the game is so friggin' difficult!
the game is incredibly cool
A 8-bit masterpiece without any doubt. Even with his glitches.
Well yeah, difficult is a very big understatement
Beating the third level for the first time was one of the most amazing moments of my young life.
The tower is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in an NES game.

And that go's to show you should never under estate the hardware capabilities of said console
I am pretty sure that my childhood copy of this game only had the first three levels programmed in it, as I never got to see past them....
I had a love-hate relationship with this game so hard and excruciating, but yet so fun and epic
me too. i never bought the cartridge, we had a video store that would rent it, wish i had bought it and could play it on my 50" tv now, lol.

At least it not like ghosts and goblins

actually this was my first time getting past the ice zone, usually i would go through the time warp on the hoverthings but since its a longplay i got to do every level, it was also the first time i beat the game
All that suffering for such a brief ending :,(
*IT'S A NES GAME!!!*
How is that an excuse?
NES Capacity Is limited.
It's a Done Right Game or a It's a Done Right Ending.
NES limitations has nothing to do with this, BattleToads was released 3 years after Ninja Gaiden 1 and a year after Astyanax and it still had far worse looking ending. Being a NES game is definitely not an excuse.

It's funny, I never got past the racing level (like many, many others). The Ice Level I haven't even seen before!
Great game.
My all time favorite.
Took me 2-3 months to learn.
I can finaly beat it, each time i play it
When I finally beat this game I went outside and did a backflip.
Did you beat it by now? 🤪
Turbo Tunnel wasn't super hard, it was just the introduction to the game difficulty spike. It intimidated a lot of players, and they never moved past it. I think it was brilliant to put it at the start of the game. Imagine if it was near the end?
You got to it, you died. Restarted, got back to it, died again. Eventually, you had it down. I played this game for the first time in fifteen years a few days ago, my fingers still remembered how to get through the Turbo Tunnel.
Hmm, i wonder how many sanities have been molested by this game...
Kluorpivhlander P. The reason why I never played further than the 2st stage.
Alexander Freeman
You mean 2nd?
The difficulty of this game is intense, especially having to go through the Turbo Tunnel stage.
What is the point of a health bar when just about everything in the later levels kills you instantly?
No point, just badly designed game. :)
I once made it to the Elevator Shaft. I was so stunned, nervous and impressed with the level design I couldn't play properly xD
I remember this game actually has warp zones in certain levels. You have to do certain things to make the white dots appear then jump in the white dots.
12:08, 30:55, 33:00, 34:19, 36:25 Even World of Longplays loses lives at Battletoads. It's rather comforting seeing a real human do a run.
51:45 That was the perfect oppurtunity to peck the Dark Queen.
This is one of the greatest video games ever created
Excellent job my man... That's what i call a real great player. I've really enyioed watching your style. It took me several months for do it! Greetings from Peru.
Whoever played in childhood grew up prepared for life!
This player is a machine! This game was so difficult. Great game...
Whoever played this game before release and said "hmmm, this is good for the children. "was a bloody sadist if i ever met one
@sonofafitch85
the racing stage is my favorite, it took me a few hours but i memorized it several years ago when i was like 10
This was my all-time favorite NES game! It is a very hard game indeed, but it’s a game repetition & practice. Bet I had over 100 hours before I finally beat the game. Thanks for the memories.
This brought me back to being 10
How can a game so stupidly difficult still be so awesome and so much damn fun?
Looking back at this game, I can't believe I made it all the way to the snake pit. This game is brutal :)
Snake Pit isnt that hard of a stage.
Did you passed it by now?
@@Silvester2K No, planning on buying the game and give it another go,,,still afraid though 😂
The ice and swimming levels slightly remind me of Donkey Kong Country. I wouldn't be surprised if Battletoads influenced DKC, both being by RARE.
Also when either Battletoad encounters a boss with a shocked look reminds me of Diddy's Kong Quest with Diddy and Dixie doing the same thing.
The amount of NES controllers that must have broken - or been broken - in the hands of players trying to finish this game was certainly large.
This game is something newer generations will never know about.
This must of taken years of frustration
Epic gameplay. Wonderful music. Amazing graphics. Hilarious animations. And a nice-looking main antagonist. :)
Wow, I remember this and other games. When life was much more different.
Battletoads by a long shot. Especially in multiplayer.
Imagine trying to beat the third rat race, and keep both of the players from going off-screen.
I love battletoads they're like teenage mutant ninja turtles but different
Shane Moore Reminds me of double dragon but toads...
Wild Bill funny you mention that because the BattleToads had a crossover with Double Dragon.
no shit
Rumour has it that battletoads were born of a failed attempt at drawinig a teenage mutant ninja turtle.
arguably the best game in nes history
This game is by far the toughest one ever
There were harder NES games I'm sure but one was really tough..
cool, i never got to level "plan c", but glad i finaly saw what's after. awesome playing dude !
Talk about trashing the Turbo Tunnel! That was a joy to watch, seeing it done in one shot like that.
Dat trippy ball chasing you
One of the best games I played growing up.....hell I still do play this Bad ass fucking game!!.

There needs to be a Battletoads Remastered from WayForward, the same developers of DuckTales Remastered.
And Contra 4, another amazing game, and the ultimate/greatest Contra game if you ask me.
The game is already on Rare Replay
A new Battletoads was announced Xbox's e3 conference this year
@@MetaHog122 I'm not sure if it would be a remake or a all-new kind, but I hope it will be great. And with Easter eggs.

Same as Ninja Gaiden, The Mario Games and many other classics :D
The BattleToads should deserve more respect nowadays because I actually like the Toads more than the Ninja Turtles.
Well... I think the ninja turtles didnt age well.
Battletoads on the other hand did.

back in the day i was stuck at snake world, but man fire world look like hell to pass it
That big boot gets me every time. Fucking LOL!!!!!!
I always got stuck at the end tower, had no idea what the hell to do when the big cloud thing showed up on the side and blew smoke rings all over.
If you died only 6 times playing this game through than you are an expert. I needed at least 100 tries to beat this one.

Epic maneuvering in turbo tunnel, dude.
Always loved how satisfying the punching and kicking sounds are. How are the bosses so damn easy when the levels are hard as shit?
This amazing original nes game 😍
Beating this game should be on every gamer who has been around since the 80's list. This and beating Mike Tyson were my two big feats.
