    Great vid as usual. Some excellent tips. I told u I was struggling with the inferno hence why I chose to skip it but your hanging low strat makes for a much easier time. Great tip. The steelbeaks I couldn't work out a timing for they are a nightmare tho I first one is an excellent place to farm an extra life as u get 5000 points each time and he infinitely respawns, you just stay behind him. If u die u get the 1up anyway

      Thanks, man! I didn't think the Inferno was too bad, but the second half of the Snakes is a nightmare. That's the more compelling reason to use the warp, IMO.
      Cool tip about the Steelbeaks! Those guys don't look dangerous, but will totally wreck your day.

    There is a shortcut in the 4th snake pit room you missed. It skips the final hardest part! When you’re on the 4th snake (yellow and red) ride it to the top of the screen. Wait until near the end of the snake and then jump way over to the right. It takes you right to the exit!

    I'm 40 and haven't played this game since I was around ten, yet the instant you got to the speeder bike section, a combo of music and colors gave me a sense memory panic attack. I remember this game made me think I was bad at video games. New games come with limited edition skins, NES games came with ptsd and a failure complex.

    Battletoads isn't just a game that you can learn about and then beat. It legitimately takes a great deal of concentration and fantastic hand-eye coordination. Great game, but I was lousy at it growing up. After beating the bikes, I remember thinking the game wouldn't get any tougher--and it definitely did.

  • @georgieramone

    I think I have PTSD from playing Battletoads back in the early 90's. Such a brutal game. Watching this play-through though I realize just how impressive this game is from a technical stand point. The graphics are phenomenal and the gameplay itself (as brutal as it is) has tons of variety and creative ideas. The music rocks too. Truly one of the greatest games of the 8-bit era.

In a wellness & gaming effort, I tackled NG, Contra, Battletoads, and Ghosts N Goblins while jogging behind our homemade NES bike lol.

    I beat this game multiple times as a kid both with and without warping. This is what happens when you are poor and have more time than money. It took me forever to get past chapter 11 cause I couldn’t figure out how to gain separation on the curves. I never did figure it out. I played it so much I eventually did it by just instinct with timing when to turn. For chapter 8 you can safely destroy all those stupid gassers with stick or ram attack. Makes it way easier climbing up the shaft. Great video on truly one of the hardest NES games ever made. I bought it for the colorful cover and thought I was going to get a TMNT arcade beat em up clone except with hilarious toads. Then was sodomized by the Turbo Tunnel and realized what I had gotten myself into buying the game. Thanks for the memories. 😅

The most memorable section for me was the pipe system. I remember playing that one for about 3hrs because I kept dying and respawning before a 1UP. Most rewarding game to beat that I’ve ever played because of how challenging it is.

    *tip*: in Clinger Winger if you can't do it try to pause the game just after you hit a corner everytime it will make the level be a breeze. When you hit a corner if you are not inhumanly fast to change the direction quickly (or memorize it losing most of your hearts) the game will register that you are pushing the pad the wrong way, so with the pause button you take away that.

    A couple notes not mentioned.
    10:12 When collecting 1UPS, look for the 1up shadow before jumping. Jump and place your shadow over the 1UP shadow to make sure you get it. Same for anything using a sudo 3D world such as the enemies, floating walls or ramps.
    At 36:25 those fans can be destroyed with the stick if you still have it. The yellow gassers can be busted too. It gives you a nice breather where you don't need to worry about anything.
    46:03 When racing the giblet, you can hit him to turn him around. When the hole is at the side, I like to headbutt the giblet over the hole where he will hit the wall, turn around and land on the platform again forcing him to run all the way back and forth again as you fall down the hole. Run to the next hole and repeat. As long as you keep doing it, it will keep the giblet with you instead of it getting ahead.

    • @ViceCommando
      @ViceCommando 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      This was exactly what I was looking for.
      One extra thing I might add, is that you can make small skip in level 4. When you go under the walls the shell is pounding up, the game spawns the next set ahead of you, despawning the ones you just passed. Backtracking and with a careful jump down in the pit where the exit is, you can get to exit the level sooner. Prevents you getting squashed in the end by another set of walls and a spiky shell in a tricky spot.

    I have just stumbled upon this channel of yours and started going through your videos and I have to say that this content is just amazing.
    Like, it is right up my alley.
    It reminds me a bit of those old "How to Beat" type of VHS tapes from the 80/90s but these are way more thorough and actually take you through the whole thing while revealing all kinds of cool trivia along the way. It's kinda surreal.
    Had these videos been released back when I was a kid, I can tell it's the kind of stuff I would have watched on repeat, even if I had never played the games in question.
    This will definitely be one of the channels I'll keep a closer look at in the future.
    As for Battletoads, I didn't own it myself back in the day but I did have a friend who had it and we would sometimes play it but like you said in your video, like many other kids we could never get past the Turbo Tunnel part.
    It's crazy to think that developers back then would purposely create so many cool levels and technically impressive gimmick, only to make the early game so cruelly hard that many players would be lucky to even see half of it.
    One funny piece of trivia I recently learned of was that just before you kick enemies with your big boot, the game will pause for a second. I always thought that was just solely for dramatic effect but it is in fact the game loading a sound sample to play for the kick.
    Fantastic video, mate. And gosh darn impressive to see deathless run with a maxed-out score to boot.
    Maybe one day I'll be able to at least complete it too. One can dream xD
    Can't wait to see what game you'll be tackling next.
    If I may suggest a really great, yet underappreciated game, I would pick Ufouria: The Saga from Sunsoft. It's a really cool Metroidvania kinda game. I recently worked on a hack for it, so I've had to go through it a couple of times as a result and it's definitely the kind of game where a guide could be handy on your first go.
    Either that or Bionic Commando :)

    • @UCanBeatVideoGames
      @UCanBeatVideoGames  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks a lot, Captain N! I really appreciate all of the kind words.

      I really like Uforia, I played through for the first time last year. I'll definitely put it on my list.
      And I'll let you in on a secret. Bionic Commando is the next video.

    • @captainnintendo

      ​@@UCanBeatVideoGames
      That's awesome!
      Bionic Commando is another game where I recently worked on a large translation hack and uncovered a lot of cool stuff in the code.
      The most interesting thing about the game is probably the differences between the US and Japanese versions.
      And I'm not just referring the censoring of the Nazi symbols and story. There are in fact a bunch of gameplay and secret-based changes. Like a super-secret hidden room that'll grant you the ability to activate a shield at any time (if I remember correctly)
      However, that whole room was removed from the western version.
      There was also a hostage you could interrogate and in the Japanese version, if you attacked him 100 times with your bionic arm, he would give you all the items in the game early on. This was also removed.
      There are a whole bunch of little subtle changes like these.
      In one of the early neutral areas in the game, you can also swing under some barriers blocking you with a well executed swing by grabbing the ground under them and swing right under. It'll give you a special message in the Japanese version from the soldier on the other side. Not so in the western version, although, you can still perform the swing.
      I believe the Japanese version was also more picky about you having to use specific weapons to destroy the various barriers in the game, where the US version will let you use a bigger range in most cases.
      But I digress and apologize for this wall of random localization trivia.
      I will look forward to seeing the upcoming video :)

    • @UCanBeatVideoGames
      @UCanBeatVideoGames  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I definitely picked up the Japanese version after reading a bit about the differences. I understand why they got rid of all the Swastikas, but I was very surprised at all the changes to the game itself. I have no idea why they made some of these changes - it seems like they put a lot of effort into changing stuff. It's fascinating.

  • @youwish1135
    @youwish1135 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Yeah the Rat falls directly onto the bomb after the first one in the PAL one so you cant exploit the trick. Personally I quite like the level now I have it memorized tho one extra tip I think is slightly quicker is to jump forward when your on the white moving girders ie the ones with the Holes in that move left to right. Since your slower when on those because of their movement, you gain a few milliseconds by jumping. I think they may have fixed Sergeant Slaughter too cos that ram stun lock thing doesnt work. At least didnt for me. He always jumps up and squashes you if you ram him the first time. Also great work with the Clinger boss, you completely make him a bitch. I tried to utilise that pick strat but I always screwed it up and found a ram and run approach the safest for me.

    That speeder bike level will go down in history as one of the hardest levels of all time. Even I hadn't beaten it in almost 30 years. I loved when they crossed over with Double Dragon. Great game, and full of humor and action. Good to see Battletoads getting some love. Haven't tried the new incarnation yet. Looks fun though.

      Maybe not "One of the hardest levels of all time", but definitely "One of the hardest EARLY levels of all time". This felt more like a level 10 than 3!

      Might not look like it, but the buzz ball level make the Turbo Tunnel feel like a tutorial. Every level except the surf city is harder than that one IMO.

    I was able to beat this game when I was in high school. I did it a few times, but I never beat it warpless. I did beat every level individually.
    The first level and first half of level three were really cool brawlers. After that, it was obstacle avoidance with one insta-death race. I wore out the start button on that one, since my timing was fairly awful. It gave me the chance to move my finger to the next direction.
    Beating stage 3 for the first time was a huge milestone.

Had fun nonetheless. Had a bad day at work the next day, though, lol. Thanks for the tips.

    Theres actually a quicker and easier way to finish the 4th room of Karnath's Lair (stage 6). If you climb the yellow-pink snake to the top, when he moves right, you can run and jump to the right over the spikes at the top and fall into the exit.

    • @youkai3785
      @youkai3785 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      On Clinger-Winger, don't be afraid to use a controller with a slow motion feature (rapid pause/unpause), or if you're using a regular controller, pause RIGHT as you hit a corner, hit the button for the direction you're about to turn into, unpause, and you'll go that much faster.

    Awesome guide! I had such a great time trying to figure out all of these as a kid, brings back memories! BTW, stage 6 doesn't have to be the hardest; room 4 can be made much easier when riding the 4th snake (pink and yellow) to the top; stay there as long as possible, then jump over the spikes to the right, catching the front part of the snake and leading straight into the Out hole. When doing it this way, I feel this level is much easier compared to, say, Clinger Winger.

    21 for the Dark Queen
    23 for General Slaughter
    13 for Buzz Ball
    These hits are measured by head-butt and stick hits.
    Another tip for Clinger-Winger when riding the wheel for long sections: If one has a good/quick eye in noticing, there is an arrow on the ground on the longer sections not too far before a corner when changing directions. (at least for most of them)

    Bucky O' Hare actually predates the Turtles by nearly 10 years. Larry Hama (of GI JOE fame) created it in the mid-70's and the comic launched in 1977. The cartoon was created in the wake of the Turtles' success and a new set of comics launched. But Bucky was far from a Turtles imitator.

    I've mastered the game up to Rat Race back then when I had this game, but unfortunately I wasn't able to deal with Clinger-Winger. I would simply lose speed and after a couple months I eventually gave up without even knowing I was almost reaching the final stage.
