![[TAS] NES Totally Rad by Bag of Magic Food in 12:07.57](/img/n.gif)
Those bosses look unbelievable for an NES.
Like, I was gonna say the same thing dude!!
The artwork is definitely nice, but they're just using a standard trick, faking a huge boss by drawing it on the background layer. There's nothing particularly special about these bosses on a technical level. The Mega Man series, in particular, LOVED doing this.
Incredible really
@Samantha Beaner No, it's definitely still an NES game. Pretty fun, actually.
Hell no.
"I'm like, totally being kidnapped or something!" Never gets old.
"They're like, stealing me or something!" gets me every time. ^^
"I'd kinda like my dad back, you know?"
"That's totally understandable."
This game has the best dialogue.
Sounds straight out of a Beavis and Butthead episode
And you didn't mention the bitchin parallax scrolling which is like totally rad
Hey it was pretty easy don't bitch about it lover
Tubular
Narly
He's to drunk to notice the parallax and how colorful this game is. I think one of the top 5 most graphical game on NES.

Buddy of mine rented this game back in the day. I remember playing it with him and us getting very frustrated. Ultimately we enjoyed it and it sort of stayed in my memory for years until I picked it up in the early 2000's. Cool to see you feature it. Also, this is a case for "localization gone mad" as the Famicom version (called Magic John) has much more cutesy protagonists and none of the American slang or jargon.
The 90s were 30 years ago. The same as 80s were to the 50s. Think about that.
Totally miss the 90s, dude.
21 years
Totally.

I kind of wish this game had been successful enough to become a franchise. Imagine games with the title “Totally Rad“ coming out to this day!
Totally Rad 2: Utterly Bodacious (credit @Ryan G.)
Super Totally Rad
Totally Rad vs. Bubsy
Totally Rad 64
Totally Rad: The Movie: The Game
And so on. Do you think they'd be up to one or two gritty reboots by now?
@Google's Evil lmao
Isn't there a Rad Something Something game that came out last year?
Hu actually the name is just "RAD". Yes all caps and just that word, or is it an acronym in this case?
I mean, Sunset Overdrive SHOULD have been called something with "Rad" in the title. It played off all the late 80's and 90's tropes of being totally radical, rude and crude. All the main character needed was sunglasses and a skateboard (although you rode the rails like a like in Tony Hawk games).
The sequel "Utterly Bodacious" was cancelled...
Damn, that's gnarly :/
Totally Tubular, Mondo Bodacious, Really Radical, Crap
Good thing we have "Udderly Bodacious", the cow farming sim.
@@Radeo well done sir👏
That's bradd(bad but more rad) man
Total length of video: 295 secs.
Total length of "SNES Drunk": 3.5 secs.
1.19% of the video was spent listening to "SNES Drunk."
I come for these comments!
Scans of the instruction manual exist online. It is written in the same style as the in-game dialogue - even the mundane content. You have to admire that dedication.
Yep, seeing the manual is the main reason I want to play the game.
That's gnarly
I remember that. Stuff like telling you how to turn on the system and put the game in is like telling you how to breathe.
Just like real life! I can't charge my arm cannon while jumping either.
All I can think of is the webcomic, Kid Radd, which took HEAVY inspiration from this.
I was thinking that too. The hero sprite looked so similar to Kid that I was expecting the villain to be his brother instead of aliens.
SNES Drunk Plays "Athena" for NES...I dare you!
I played this on an nes emulator on windows 95 when I was 9. I've been searching for it for years never could remember the title.
Thank you so much SnesDrunk this shits hella nostalgic.
I discovered your channel yesterday, I watched several videos, and I really like it! Awesome content with variety, it's really well done. A nice discover. I'm gonna enjoy to follow the new videos.
Love the SNES Drunk videos. Favourite one was when the whole video was the prolonged intro for all the trolls and haters. Then at the end, the ending was you saying, “not really!” Haha
Yep
Check out my friends review from 3 years ago: th-cam.com/video/6nK7Q8GLzvM/w-d-xo.html
There was a very cool site that listed the differences between this version and the Japanese version, Magic John, but I'm not sure it's around anymore... To be fair, the Japanese version was wholly unremarkable in terms of dialogues, so nobody would've ever remembered about this game, if not for the localized changes.
I remember that site.
The rad project. Wikipedia article for the game links to it but it seems to have been dead for quite a while. Wayback machine has it though. Im assuming that adding the direct link will get my comment auto blocked. Will reply to myself and try to add it anyway.
web.archive.org/web/20110529044324/www.flammie.net/vse/things/rad/index.htm
Glad I'm not the only person who went looking for this site after watching this video!
To be unfair, nobody remembers it with the localized changes.
For some reason I was not notified of any of your videos for the last several months, but I was thinking about your videos and your channel and did a search and found this and I am happy to see it
I actually had some trading cards of bosses from this game when I was a kid. I had no idea what they were from but I definitely remember having cards of the fish and corn bosses. Thank you for solving a 20-something year old mystery I forgot I had.
How is it that we are just finding out today you were the voice of Otto Mann? Gnarly Dude!
Dan from Console Wars did a pretty good job on it during one of their episodes. It was totally rad!
Great review! Short, sweet, and to the point!
I wanna thank you for posting, and have a great rest of your day.
Hi SnesDrunk. thank for the videos. I discovered the channel just a few months ago and been catching up the time lost. They are entertaining but also go to the point.
Another sugestion for your endless list of NES action platfformers "werewolf the last warrior" Oddly as it sounds NES was not very popular in my country and this was one of the few titles I could play on an actual NES back in the 90.
DUDE! 3:12 That's the cousin of Eddy from Iron Maiden!
Had this one as a kid, so lots of love and nostalgia for it and think it's pretty underrated. It does have its quirks, and you gave it a fair go. I always thought the transformation mechanic was cool as shit (and all your animal forms LOOK cool as shit). Too easy to cheese the levels by just turning into bird man, but nice to have for kids. Weird you singled out the lion's invincible jump out over the wings though, as it's balanced pretty well with the short-range attack.
I think the difficulty is spot on too. Challenging but not impossible. The enemies in the caverns are bullet sponges though, which is tedious.
This is one of those games I remember playing at a friend's house as a kid and I couldn't remember the name of it after I got older. Thanks for the vid!
3:52 - great voice man - took me by surprise and had to laugh really hard
Omg I’ve been looking for this game! I had this and played this as a kid but forgot its name and everything! Thank you!
This was one of my favorite NES games when I was a kid. I loved to run around in the fish-guy form, because he tossed "throwing stars", or at least that what I thought they were. Good times.
This was a game I saw advertised everywhere as a kid. I even saw it all the time as a rental at my local video store but I never once bothered to give it a go. I totally forgot all about it but still vaguely remember the box cover.
And so, now my curiosity is satisfied. After like, 35 years almost.
I wanna thank you for making this video and hope you have a great rest of your day
Amazing Otto impression!
That was a nice Otto impression at 0:35.
One of my favorites from my childhood.
Well about to go work a 14 hour shift so the rest of my days shot lol
Damn, respect and gl man ✌👍
14 hours???!! May the vitamin of caffeine fuel you
Much love brother I just came home from my 12 hr and thankfully I can unwind with some SNESDrunk
I can't believe I've never seen this game! it looks like something I'd like to play. Thanks for the video!
I like your Otto Mann impression. Spot on. 👍
One of the few NES Yellow Boxes (I know Bucky O'Hare was another)!
Also, the jumping animation and some of the platforms really reminded me of the 1st NES TMNT game.
ABSOLUTELY LOVED this game when I was young. Rented it constantly. Couldn't have clicked this vid faster!
You need to start subtitling these as NESdrunk
SNES drunk = reads the dialogue with Otto's voice from the Simpsons
Me = reads the dialogue with Bill and Ted's voices
My childhood classic. Loved the music, atmosphere and gameplay
Have a great rest of YOUR day!
Use to play this all the time. Need to get ot for my nes. Love this game
I always watch these when I wake up in the morning lol its almost a routine. 👍
OMG YOU SIR ARE A LEGEND!
I remember this game from my childhood...
In the last 20 years I tried to ask here and there, never to find the name.
THANK YOU SIR!
If you imagine the limited amount of games you had at the time, this game looks amazing
A review of The Adventures of Rad Gravity would compliment this review. It also was released post-1980s when the use of "Rad" was past its prime.
If you give it a chance Rad Gravity is an awesome game.
I got this one at a pawn shop back around 2000. The title was amusing and caught my attention. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's a good game. It's very similar to Mega Man. The graphics and cutscenes definitely stand out in this one.
Tha k you for covering this one!
One of the first nes games i played, and i still love it too this day
A lot to unpack here: 'Totally Rad' sounds like a skateboarding game where everyone chews bubble gum, wears sunglasses and basecaps and carries a boombox with them. But sure, it's about a wizard. That would have been my second guess.
The jump reminds me of Super Metroid, the charge shot and the small helmet-like enemies remind me of Megaman X.
Choosing your magic form reminded me of doing my taxes.
Overall it seems like a quick and not-so-bothersome playthrough. Aaand some sprites look amazing!
Would like to see you review Little Samson.
I know its an "Everyone should play" kind of game. But still.
It's my all time fave NES game and I would love to see your perspective.
It’s an expensive game, for better or for worse. You have to play it anyway you can.
This game is sooo nostalgic!! Used to play it for hours back in the day (never finished though)
Love the vids. Im gunna have to send you a few bucks, dude you are the only one who tells me to have a good day, every day.
i love this game. still have it from when i got it as a kid
I woke up yesterday and beat Totally Rad for the millionth time yesterday. Kinda a routine since I was a kid. I love it and it's a super underrated game. Anyone not familiar with the library of the NES I would suggest you play Solstice on the NES. One of the best video games ever created, warning though it is extremely hard and unforgiving.
So, I thought you stopped making videos for like 5 months and I got really sad, then I realized that TH-cam no longer had me subscribed to you or Sega Lord X. And I was happy again.
Never heard of this one but that pixel art looks totally neato!
I had this game as a kid, I love to play it!
Totally tubular video mehn! Righteous review!
I never would've considered playing this game based on the name or boxart either. So thanks for making this video!
Your "rad dude" voice is great
I really liked this game as a kid.
This game is a blast! The “corn Mohawk” boss is totally crazy. My fav title name for sure. Hidden gem
The backgrounds look cool!
I rented this game like, more than 20 years ago! and I could not remember how was it called, thanks!!
I rented this back in the day, and enjoyed it. I even discovered a 1up cheat in the water level--you can max out your lives by standing in a certain spot and shooting the same spawning enemy over and over.
This is done of the best pixel art I've ever seen. Hot damn.
The music in this game was good but haunting it stays with you i can remember it from over 25 years ago
I remember this as a kid in 1995 a friend bought this and we played it through within a short time. It was unique style with good graphics but it was a little to easy to beat and all this suits and clear screen weapons were very overpowered also the boss fights were easy. But it feelt despite all like a good game. The cutscenes were indeed good and the ending also. All in all, it was fun to play, but it could be more challenging and with more levels
I think I played this last when I was like 6. I remember loving this game.
I loved this game as a kid. Still remember the music.
Brings back memories of the webcomic Kid Radd, which was inspired by Totally Radical.
Damn, with those boss designs: I didn't even know the NES actually CAN display THAT MANY COLORS ALL AT ONCE!
You get a new mic? Your sound is on POINT, man.
Your levels have been perfect for a good while, but the last.fm videos I feel like the sound is 'crisper', if you will 🤙
I love seeing games like this for the first time. I always go to the cutting room floor wiki to check if it was a japanese game that got americanized and indeed, this was also the case. It was called Magic John in Japan.
Explains why the magician is so weird looking compared to the other dudes.
This is one of the werdeist localization in the Nes history they change all the dialogue and main characters to more"cool and radical"(I don't think thats this things and slangs are cool probably because i am brazillian and are diferent slangs)...its a decent game pretty good video Snes drunk(sorry my bad english)
This was one of my favorites back in the day...despite never making it past the first level and having to learn everything by brute force due to not having the manual and being a dumb kid.
Also, that "cool dude" voice was getting pretty Macho Man by the end, brother.
They spin jump like Samus in regular form :D
I bought this game At a place called Steel Collectibles in Kennsaw GA, i saw it and thought it was the most early 90s of a title that could exist so I bought it
You do an excellent impression of Maury the Hormone Monster.
I think this is the game that inspired the webcomic "Kid Radd" which was incredible.
Hell yeah, dude! How'd you get Otto to give you some VO's? That's cool, man.
Looks like a great looking colourful game! I clicked on this mistaking it for another game, a character with a big head and dark hair, might have 'rad' in the title.
Can’t believe I missed this John & Joan Cusack vehicle
The boss graphics look amazing for the NES. Wow I would like to play this even if for just a while.
There's a really good web comic inspired in this game, Kidd Rad, really well done and finished
Man! I could not remember the name of this game but thanks to you I remember!
One of my fav Famicom game. Totally rad, dude
This game reminds me a bit of Commander Keen that I used to play on MS-DOS as a kid.
Think you summed this game up perfectly: Not nearly as good as the best of the NES, but definitely a game NES lovers should try out. Really a great looking game.
One of my favorite NES games
never heard of this game.. im going to play. thanks for the tip
damn this game is beautiful and the soundtrack real cool. I remember my colleagues at school getting super excited over this.
I always wanted this game when I was a kid and never got it, got to play it "anyway I could" later on. Solid.....kinda werid....would love to see you do Clash at demonhead, just so someone can explain to me what the hell is going on there !
th-cam.com/video/DKMopYhwJnA/w-d-xo.html
Oh yeah....I forgot that I forgot about this
It's like if Clash At Demonhead had a 16bit spiritual successor.
Oh hey, I've got this one. Guess I'll have to try it.
I've seen this game cartridge so many times at my local flea market and never bought it. I think I'll give it a shot.
