Super proud to say I've beat this game ...not proud that I had to use save states lol. I'm pumped to see you beat this one in part 2 (yes thats a vote for part 2 lol)!
Your patience is astounding. Me and my friend had the same birthday as kids, and he came to spend the night. I got Battletoads and we played for hours just trying to get past the Turbo Tunnel stage. Frustrated, we took solace in the fact that he also got a game. TMNT. Worst birthday ever. We ended up just playing battle mode in SMB3 and Base Wars like we always did.
Herpes is my favorite Battletoad. This is a great example of a game that is simultaneously brilliant and extremely frustrating. NES-era Rare at its finest.
I have beaten this game on sega genesis with broken d-pad when i was a kid. My thumbs were literally bleeding back then, because of the broken d-pad. That’s how much i loved this game. If you don’t have a good d-pad you’ll have a hard time on stage 11. Maybe on stage 10 too, if i remember correctly. Where you’ll race with a rat kangaroo hybrid thingy. Game will be easy if you collect enough lives from crows on stage 2.
Thanks for playing this one! It means a lot that you care about what your fans want to see :) If you enjoyed it enough, you should play Battletoads in Battlemaniacs. That's the one I remember most
Awesome job! Part 2 would be amazing. You're going to find combat easier if you dash at enemies and attack to do headbutts (that's how you generally deal with guys like the stage 5 miniboss or the snowmen).
I've always liked Ryu but I think one huge reason is that his editing of his videos has no excess BS. I happened across a super popular YTer playing a Lego game and literally every 10 seconds there was an extreme closeup of his face with a sound effect or the camera tilted or even when there was no expression.. it was like he had a quota of closeups to meet. Ryu is just a cool dude with skill
10:00 no, jumping over them is exactly what you want to do. The most consistent way I found, where I practically never get hit by them, is the following: stay at the top, jump over the first two robots , wait a little and then jump over the rest. 🙃 Edit: I have to say you are picking up on potential strategies and patterns very quickly, I am having a blast watching you play! 😄
This was one of my favorite videos from you, and honesty from VG creators in general. I was dying laughing. Never watching a runthrough of this game prior to this made it that much more enjoyable. What a ridiculous friggen game! Gonna go watch Pt 2 now
When you decided to fight the Snowman and He punched you(12:42) .... that entire sequence had me Laughing uncontrollably .... I am Still Laughing now lol .....let me replay that again .... this game brings me back .... I had a group of friends and we got together one weekend and vowed not to do anything til that game was Completed ... we all had levels that we were best at and we beat this game together and we all took credit and eventually we all were able to beat this game ....what a campaign......
You know what's crazy is trying to do this with two people. It's one thing to worry about your own reactions but when someone regularly ruins everything by slamming into stuff...it makes you want to kill them. And yes, I was that person. I can't believe my husband married me after the hell I put him through with this game. Also, you have my vote for part 2!!
2P was hilarious. Especially if your friend accidentally head-butted you or something & you punch him back to make things square - it'd start an all-out war and you both would end up kicking the shit out of each other (in the game, that is!) :D
Ryu: let me knows if you guys want a part 2 Litterally everyone : PLEASE WE WANT A PART TWO PLS FOR THE LOVE OF THE TOAD GODS Ryu: Hey guys another super mario maker expert no skip here YAHOOO

I forgot what a challenge in a game looks like until I started playing this again. Gameplay: th-cam.com/video/nrzNQqprcu4/w-d-xo.html
To this day, I still haven't finished this game. I was 14 years old when I first played this on my NES. I'm waiting to give this game another try if it gets released on the Nintendo Switch Online.
It never ceases to amaze me how good you are at/how far you get in your first attempts at these super hard games. My best friend had battletoads as a kid, and we never made it passed the turbo tunnel(playing 2 player probably didn't help much either.)
Ryu mentioned AVGN. Its like a deity fondly tips the proverbial hat in the direction of another deity. There's a lesson to learn there for all of us. Love the channel Ryu!🍻
I could never get past the 3rd level as a kid, but going back to the game as an adult I was actually able to beat the entire game without using a continue. Its really nice to see that I've truly developed and gotten better as a gamer over the years. I could pass the 3rd level on my first try, once I got the hang of it, pretty much every time. Some of the levels later on are actually quite a bit harder. Pro Tip: The second level is ample for gaining extra lives by juggling the crows.
Oooh, played countless hours of this as a kid. My cousin was a wiz at Battletoads, and he consistently got us through the speed bike area (I never made it past the first check point lol!). He was also evidently a pro at getting the warp at the end of the bike race because, although I'm sure we racked up countless hours of 'toads play over the years, I do not recall EVER seeing that ice stage. For me, it went speeder bikes -> surfing -> snakes -> end. I wonder if my cousin is still good at this game; this video gave me some hard nostalgia... I should call him up. :)
Never played this game myself but I love the classic AVGN episode and saw also a really detailed playthrough of this game in the channel. While I agree that it's one of the hardest games on NES, it always felt a bit unfair to me since you have to memorize every part of the game to be ever able to beat it. Then again, I guess that's the spirit of most hard NES games. The latter half of the game is absolutely insane, but from what I have seen I'm absolutely sure you can beat it and another episode or a live stream would be splendid! :-)
The developers of this game sure had a mean streak. I never got as far as the hoverboard section only ever got to the snowmen. I wanted to love this game, but it was so dam hard.
He tried to kill that polar bear and he killed himself trying hahahahah idk why I picture in my head the battle between Parker and Osborn hahahah it was so hilarious xD
I would honestly LOVE to see another episode of this. In fact, I'd like to see you complete all of the games in this series. Also, I'd like to bring light to Golgo:13 for this series. Always struggled with it as a kid. Hard and Confusing as fuck. - Gracen
Wow. Never seen this much of this game. Also shout out to you continuing after that game over. I would have had a long thought about whether or not it was worth the stress for a video lol
@VADER well, that's what you get for thinking apparently lol. The reason many of these old NES games are as hard as they are is the game was intended for, or ported from, an arcade platform. Arcade games are designed to be extremely hard so people would keep plugging quarters into the machine to continue, therefore it would take practice, pattern recognition and memorization more than skill to complete. It also added play value as you had to keep trying to get further and eventually complete. I'm not sure if they made a battletoads arcade version specifically, but many of the old NES games were of similar difficulty ranges because that's what developers were used to.
This is a awesome new series! So many super difficult games, especially on NES such as Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, and Punch Out. When you get to Genesis, I recommend Xmen or Altered Beast.
You should play Ghost n Goblins. It is reallly really difficult. And when you think you have beaten it it tells you to play it one more time for the real ending.
Fun video. Yes, do a part two. I've been on search finding the hardest NES games. Of the more known ones Ghost N Goblins and Ninja Gaiden(especially the third one) are good ones to do. Of the more really hard ones, do Ikari Warriors without the ABBA code, Starship Hector, later levels of Q*Bert or Mutant Virus.
Best game on the NES hands down. Double-tap left or right to run & then hit b-button to enable the ram head-butt or power boot if they're already down. In 2nd level you can go to the side of the cavern to turn yourself into the wrecking ball & then hit b button to go crashing over to the other side & destroy anything in your way.
good sh*t (turbo tunnel part mainly )) seeing somebody going though it 1st time ) its hilarious ) done well tho ,big time gamer experience sure helped immensely. also the snowman part ,when he threw that snowball up the ramp ) 👌
You should do one of these things for Bucky O'Hare. Notoriously difficult NES game and also considered to be among the best the platform has to offer. Very fun but challenging game. Really pushed the gear limits of what they could get into an NES game similar to this one.

Just letting you know that I would like a part 2

Nick Raleigh Yes!
Definitely! Also the game seems actually good except for the trolliest level design ever. Such as 21:09 :D
Y.E.S.

Super proud to say I've beat this game
...not proud that I had to use save states lol. I'm pumped to see you beat this one in part 2 (yes thats a vote for part 2 lol)!
i got bad news for you, that means it doesn't count and you've never beaten this game ;) guess that means you have to play it again...
Well, I've beaten Battletoads w/ Game Genie before. Does that count? ;P
Looks like we know what you two need to race next...
DGR vs Ryukahr Battletoads speedrun?
How did you legit beat Clinger Winger? I can't do it. Insanely hard.
Gotta do a Part 2 now, we need to know how it all turns out!
th-cam.com/video/f3H-Yk1V3KA/w-d-xo.html

17:09 : "Dude, this level never ends!"
*Moves 2 inches to the right. OH!!
heres a vote for part two ryu.
ye all wanna see him die much more times
So many amazing memories playing brutal NES games like this one!
I vote for a *PART 2*
I have beaten this game on sega genesis with broken d-pad when i was a kid. My thumbs were literally bleeding back then, because of the broken d-pad. That’s how much i loved this game.

If you enjoyed it enough, you should play Battletoads in Battlemaniacs. That's the one I remember most
Jaxon Roller Of course he cares for his fans!
Do a part 2
This reply is dedicated to all of us who never got past the Turbo Tunnels.
R.I.P keep practicing
one of my favorite games of my childhood, it feels the older i get the games from back in the days feel doubble as hard as when i was young.
YES! Part 2 plz :-)
Awesome job! Part 2 would be amazing. You're going to find combat easier if you dash at enemies and attack to do headbutts (that's how you generally deal with guys like the stage 5 miniboss or the snowmen).

So much respect for you making it THAT far. Look forward to seeing the rest. Good luck man, you got this.

My blood pressure and anxiety spike at the thumbnail. Lifelong trauma, gotta love them old games

Honestly, for as challenging as it is, Battletoads is still a super inventive platformer even in 2018! Definitely hyped for a Part 2!
Please do a part 2! This series is really fun, and I hope it isn’t too stressful to make. Keep up the great work!
Ryu: let me knows if you guys want a part 2
Litterally everyone : PLEASE WE WANT A PART TWO PLS FOR THE LOVE OF THE TOAD GODS

will it?? gosh I hope so cuz ima fuck this game up
@@cesarflores1145 Go for it!! Like a BOSS!! 😎💪🏆
This just reminds me how people complain about games like Dark Souls now, but we had to deal with this growing up. Great video.
I would also be down for a Twitch stream of Battletoads. 10/10 would watch
highly likely
It never ceases to amaze me how good you are at/how far you get in your first attempts at these super hard games.
My best friend had battletoads as a kid, and we never made it passed the turbo tunnel(playing 2 player probably didn't help much either.)

Enjoyed this, glad you were able to do well. Part two for the Toads, please!
8:45 the face you’ll make when you realize that the turbo tunnel has nothing on Clinger Wringer and it’s only a warmup
I only know one person who ever passed this game...and this was in the 90s....safe to say this guy was a game guru
The warp in the turbo tunnels almost feels like a dev exit.
Oooh, played countless hours of this as a kid. My cousin was a wiz at Battletoads, and he consistently got us through the speed bike area (I never made it past the first check point lol!). He was also evidently a pro at getting the warp at the end of the bike race because, although I'm sure we racked up countless hours of 'toads play over the years, I do not recall EVER seeing that ice stage. For me, it went speeder bikes -> surfing -> snakes -> end. I wonder if my cousin is still good at this game; this video gave me some hard nostalgia... I should call him up. :)
I found my new favorite channel. Seeing you slowly conqure such near impossible games makes me feel like I am watching something slowly develop.
Never played this game myself but I love the classic AVGN episode and saw also a really detailed playthrough of this game in the channel. While I agree that it's one of the hardest games on NES, it always felt a bit unfair to me since you have to memorize every part of the game to be ever able to beat it.

The latter half of the game is absolutely insane, but from what I have seen I'm absolutely sure you can beat it and another episode or a live stream would be splendid! :-)
You just did the final stretch of the turbo tunnell first try. You are probably the only human being on earth to do that.
I am speechless.
The developers of this game sure had a mean streak. I never got as far as the hoverboard section only ever got to the snowmen. I wanted to love this game, but it was so dam hard.
Hahaha! I see Ryu playing one of the hardest NES classics of all time, then I press like before starting watching :)
He tried to kill that polar bear and he killed himself trying hahahahah
idk why I picture in my head the battle between Parker and Osborn hahahah it was so hilarious xD
This was one of my favorite games as a kid. I don't think I ever beat it. Great video. Keep it up.
Yes! Was hoping this game was going to make it into this series. And don't stop now, the fun is just beginning. Part 2!
I would honestly LOVE to see another episode of this.
In fact, I'd like to see you complete all of the games in this series.
Also, I'd like to bring light to Golgo:13 for this series. Always struggled with it as a kid. Hard and Confusing as fuck.
- Gracen
Yes please to part 2. This game actually looks really great and I wanna see more of it
Part 2 please👍. I liked how you threw the ice cube at the snowman and realized it didn’t even hurt him haha
BRAVO! YOU just made it 1/2 way through the HARDEST NES Game Hands down :) You are a true gamer Beast :)
I never played this game in my life, but I am impressed how innovative this game is. Fun combat, interesting platforming and game hard as fuck.
This game is so intense and such a blast when you get good at it
Honestly dude, I give you props for making it past the turbo tunnel, good job man!
I’m obsessed with your channel and I just found it yesterday
Wow. Never seen this much of this game. Also shout out to you continuing after that game over. I would have had a long thought about whether or not it was worth the stress for a video lol
I feel like this game was never playtested by the devs. A lot of these things are beyond normal human reaction time.
@VADER ya know... could be
@VADER well, that's what you get for thinking apparently lol. The reason many of these old NES games are as hard as they are is the game was intended for, or ported from, an arcade platform.

Snowman used FALCON PUNCH.
It was super effective!
Ryukahr has blacked out.
Definitely need a part 2! I'd like to suggest Bart vs The Space Mutants for a future episode
Everything is satisfying with Ryu's UMPH! sound
Took me down memory lane with this one!!!
Of course you have to complete the game. Ehhehe. Everybody complete just the turbo tunnel. Greetings from Chile
You should play Ghost n Goblins. It is reallly really difficult. And when you think you have beaten it it tells you to play it one more time for the real ending.
Erik Underland I had a real love/hate relationship with G&G, loved playing the game, hated how trolly the ending was when I finally got it.
Wouldn't call it really difficult but it does require full attention
Definitely another battle toads Ryu, that sht was pretty epic lol we all think you can beat this and send that evil witch lady packin! Two thumbs up
Snowman hit him with that big show punch . I felt that throu the screen .
It's definitly a great game to watch, please make a part 2. :-D!
I used to play this game when I was a kid. I could never get past that first boss with the red screen lol
I've never clicked play so quickly on a video before in my life!
ikr
he'd better upload the next part wuick
Never?
This was one of my fav games growing up
never getting tired of that snowman mega punching ryukahr 😂😂😂😂
I laughed so hard i cried....at work hahaha
Battletoads in Battlemaniacs was awesome especially the guitar theme
Definitely, a part 2 is needed.
Fun video. Yes, do a part two.
I've been on search finding the hardest NES games. Of the more known ones Ghost N Goblins and Ninja Gaiden(especially the third one) are good ones to do. Of the more really hard ones, do Ikari Warriors without the ABBA code, Starship Hector, later levels of Q*Bert or Mutant Virus.
Hell yeah do a part two. I very rarely can catch you on twitch, it'd be great on TH-cam
Great Video! You put on a demonstration of platforming prowess. Please finish the game! Part 2 for Ryu!
Best game on the NES hands down.
Double-tap left or right to run & then hit b-button to enable the ram head-butt or power boot if they're already down.
In 2nd level you can go to the side of the cavern to turn yourself into the wrecking ball & then hit b button to go crashing over to the other side & destroy anything in your way.
Amazing game, so many good (and bad) memories. Good luck beating it tho. More than 2 videos needed for sure.
Yes!!! Battletoads!!! You must beat this game, Ryukahr. You can do it!!! :D
Greetings from Mexico. :D
A part 2 would be awesome! I loved this game as a kid, and I don’t know how many times I’ve beaten it. Bet there’s a warp in the snake pit.
good to know someone can pick up that game and has a chance of 100% it that day
i remember playing this as a kid but never made it past the turbo tunnel its insane how hard it got.
This video was glorious! I'd LOVE to see the first double dragon playthrough!
Dat music when you pause, it's soo good
Definitely a part 2.
P.S. You look like Curtis Axel with the beard and hat
good sh*t (turbo tunnel part mainly )) seeing somebody going though it 1st time ) its hilarious ) done well tho ,big time gamer experience sure helped immensely. also the snowman part ,when he threw that snowball up the ramp ) 👌
Great video, definitely more battle toads.
OMFG !!!! i played this game like crazy back in the days !!
this serie is amazing.
part 2 for sure!
You should do one of these things for Bucky O'Hare. Notoriously difficult NES game and also considered to be among the best the platform has to offer. Very fun but challenging game. Really pushed the gear limits of what they could get into an NES game similar to this one.
Best series ever.
Omfg i spat my lunch everywhere when you got mega punched holy shit 😂😂😂😂
Love this series dude! Super fun to watch.
Bro you beasted the turbo tunnel. Well done!
Sick beats on the pause screen!
Also, I definitely want a part 2.
Please a part 2. I remember playing this game when I was a kid. please and thank you
I gotta say I love this old school series
I'm definitely looking forward to a part two bro, keep up the great work xD
Dude haven’t even watched it yet but I’m gonna throw a like ur way! Bold move to play this game lol
That pause menu music brings back so many memories of me thinking "fuck this game" lol
I'm really enjoying this retro nostalgia... hope it keeps going :-)
+1 for part 2
Yes. You must finish battletoads homie!!!! I forgot about this game. Classic
