I would have played the gam with you. :'(

GOOD NEWS - Battletoads is in Rare Replay with a rewind feature! It lets you go back a few seconds at any time in your playthrough. ALSO, there's an infinite turbo tunnel... If that's your thing.

Apparently no one noticed the "Very Easy" difficulty rating.

Balrog you probably see me commenting a lot on your videos. I can't sing your praises enough. I enjoy the cheesy humour, I love the game choices and I also think that you are by far one of the most in depth reviewers on KZfaq. You are the best Hidden Blocker and deserve tonnes more subscribers. Much love dude.

There's a warp on level 3 which skips that surfing level... Then there's a warp on snakes and the snow level... Basically, you can skip a lot of the game. Still impossible to beat

What's the canon with Wario? Is Froakie the new Wario now?

My voice layered over itself that many times is just... symphonic. Great video man! As an employee of GameStop I kinda' hate this game already, but now I can really hate it on a... tangentially personal level. Hurray~

I couldn't help but laugh when Wallid said snakes wasn't too hard, I hope SuperJeenius never watches this XD

I actually find this game amazing, sure its brutal. But the music just says. HEY, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOUR GOING? YOU ARE FINISHING THIS GAME! Hell, Battletoads was in Shovel Knight and my god it was awesome.

Probably the most comprehensive review of Battletoads I've seen so far. Keep it up, Balrog!

Yep. Wookey Hole. Somewhere up in Somerset. Still need to go visit that place. (Considering I actually live here in the UK). It's a set of Caves with other attractions added.

Balrog you were one of the first channels I started watching you and BrutalMoose are my favorite and your reviews are some of the best on Nintendo and retro games keep making great content like this P.S. I'd love for u to respond to this

I love your dedication for these reviews!

@8:00 In level 7 you can also fly at the bottom of the screen and only avoid the falling rockets (because the upward ones won't hit you there for some reason)

(Emperor Palpatine Voice) Glad to see you've improved since we last saw each other...

+Balrog OK another week, another episode to watch and OH SHOOT!...your battle toads episode...OH BOY HERE WE GO! After video: Nice video, and I think you discribed the levels really well, and I was going to ask on who voiced the game employey caller from the beginning, and the fact that you gave scores for both with and WITHOUT cheats is interesting....and I forgot that part when you asked a bunch of people to play battletoads with you....love it!...with the exception of the "BEEP you" line. Plus your post credit scene was interesting, I NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE TILL NOW!....So it was interesting to see. Well that's all for this week, and I'll see you here next week for your pac man review which is the review that actually mentions Wario at long last. See ya!

that was probably the definitive review of Battletoads, good job :) (also, I beat the game with no cheats and I still love the game even though it's kinda broken)

Beat this game as a kid (8 years old i think) with no cheats, even found all warp zones which made it easier (didn't mention that Balog) but once i beat it like that i made it trough all the levels as well. Still it is a really hard game, you NEED to memorize levels and in the racing like levels it comes to muscle memory. Anyway anyone looking for a good challenge play it, it's one of my favorite NES games for sure and i think most people just give up too fast on it.

I'm glad super hard games were made just so entertaining reviews like this could exist.

I love how Wallid still has his Hoenn Tears. What a brave man.

Pretty sure SuperJeenius would go ballistic if he heard you say level 6 was easy...

Thanks for showing us all the awesomeness that is Battletoads. I never will attempt to play it though, too bad in this day and age they can't just "patch" a digital version so everyone could enjoy it the way it "should" be.

I loved this game, never could beat it though. I had the turbo tunnel down pat, but after that it was all down hill for me. The warp points were extremely handy.

8:52 NO! Level 8 and 9 are tougher than the Turbo Tunnel. They are rightfully as late in the game as they are.

5:58 hahaha Awesome! Much love bro keep up great work

2:58 LOL! the hoverbikes stage is indeed pure evil lol

16:02 Difficulity: Very easy. o_o

Very nice review! I won't say co-op is impossible though, just stage 11. Zitz can join back in at the dialogue segment before stage 12 and finish the game with Rash. I actually did a co-op speedrun at AGDQ 2015 with the guy at 2:26, you should check it out sometime. Yes we died a few times. =P

I wish this uploaded like 10 minutes earlier. Oh well, at least I have something to look forward to after work, other than not being miserable.

A new video?! Is this madness?

I almost beat the Genesis version when I was a kid. The trick was to keep hitting the crows in level 2 so that they pump out extra lives. That's how I was able to last so long. You should try that technique Balrog.

I think a remake of this would be awesome. Something that fixes all the problems with this game and offers fair and fun difficulty ala DKC Tropical Freeze.

7:20 SuperJeenius would like a word with you...

Ahh, look at all of those people giving eyes of distain to you in the Hotel Room. I remember when that didn't happen :P

6:12 WAS THAT CADDICARUS!

I loved Battletoads as a kid. I even had the cartoon on VHS which contained not only the pilot, but also the un-aired subsequent episodes. I'm gonna have to find a functional VCR so I can relive that magic.

How did you record the screen to you FC Twin?

ive been waiting since you showed it on twitter, its about time

RFC + Zurachi OTP

9:34 insert fanfic story about Balrog and froakie.

when he pulled up that pacman game i literally said "oh noooooooooooooooooooo" out loud at my computer

Heheh, I love how Josh just holds Zurachi

You are doing gods work my man. I would rather swerve into oncoming traffic than try to beat this game.

I love Battletoads. The fun I have with the game as a whole outweighs how much I dislike the surfboard level, or Volkmire's Inferno. It's gotten to the point that I'm good enough at the game where I saw you say it was the hardest game you'd ever played and I had to remind myself that it's a hard game. Maybe you should play IWBTG again, though, refresh your memory on that. Or don't, because sanity. Great review, pretty much mirrors my thoughts on the individual levels (except Turbo Tunnel, even the first time I played it I didn't think it was hard at all).

I have a few questions about the turbo tunnel. 1) If you hold down/up, do you fall off the platform and die, or just stay in one place? 2) Can I beat it if I have a reaction time of under 0.150?

Where did u get battle toads

not gonna lie, i laughed for at least 10 minutes at the "Froakie, do you want to play with me" keep it up man, love your videos, too bad i discovered you AFTER SGC :

9:34 Looks like Walid is having a good time with frokie

Im pretty amazed I was able to reach level 11 Clinger Winger as a 10 year old with only 3 continues, I might have even beaten it if I knew what to do, unfortunately by the time I got that far I was always down to my last couple of lives so never got the chance to figure it out.

I miss your old intro. Like, your most recent one is good, but this one feels really nostalgic.

Hi! Who composed the intro theme? It's awesome!

6:16 Froakie's like "Dude, hell no man."

Even with infinite continues, I applaud you for beating this. I've never even seen past the third level before seeing this video.

hey Balrog, where did you get that chansey to your right???

Nice review, can't wait to see the pacman one. On a different subject. Wait you beated F-Zero GX? Review please! My urge for F-Zero needs something until the first screenshots of Fast Racing Neo in september....

15:52 Difficulty: Very easy. I just KNEW you were gonna put that rating!! XD

I've made it to the surfing level, using save states.

The ending theme for this video was awesome. What is it?

I noticed you sneakily listing the difficulty as Very Easy ;D

To me Level 9 Terra Tubes was always the hardest. I only ever beat it once. Also I never had that much trouble with Level 3 Turbo Tunnel and I always skipped the ice level and volkmire's inferno.

The way you censored Caddy LOL

In level 8, there's a glitch where you can get stuck in limbo because once you kill the boss he flies off the screen and you're just stuck there.

Balrog is my most favorite reviewer!

OMG you bought it at SGC! :D

Great episode! Can't wait to see Pacman.

3:10 "And a princess angelica" So there are more princess angelicas?

Josh and Zurachi, my OTP.

They had some good ideas but nobody ever got to even see them!!! This is the only review I've seen that goes over the entire game.

Holy SHIT Wallid what even was the check on sound? Lmfao

Was that the Retsutalk end sound?

Oh,dear Battletoads...[gets flashbacks of the tv pilot]

Its rather strange that people give battle toads so much credit when it clearly suffers from bad level design and bad programming no matter how well made and polished it was otherwise, I suppose it was the retro last of us in that respect albeit for different reasons.

OMG I LOVE FIGHTFROGS!

This was uploaded on my birthday

I like that he puts "Very Easy" as the difficulty.

6:02 weird..that looks exactly like my hotel room at sgc...

R.I.P Wario, now we only have Froakie. Oh wait you can review Megaman V and bring him back to life.

Man i want the Battletoads for Killer Instinct. and perhaps even the black domina queen

Jeez, I bought an FC twin a year ago, and it ruined my Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Never using the dam thing again. Anyways, Nice Review! A sick part of me really wants to get BattleToads - J

WALLIDTOADS

3:50 I know a game in which an echidna's fist grows 3 times it's size.

What game is this?

16:07 it's a trap! If a reviewer teases their next game with "how bad could it be?" all hope is lost! *Grab the children and get to the bunker!*

And Caddy made everything awkward again, this time he beat a record with just two words.

There is a game where you play as a toad where its foot grows it is called ( insert battle toad game here except "battletoads")

Was that a cs188 reference at 2:47?!

6:12 Hi caddicarus.

Level 8 - 12 is where Battletoads finally gets brutal. Level 9 was my most hated level because of the spikes and the rubber duckies. Level 8 isn't too bad until the 2nd checkpoint and the boss is the hardest boss in the game. Level 10 wasn't too bad although the last section was hard, it wasn't too difficult compared to Terra Tubes. Level 11 wasn't too bad either but it was one of the more tougher levels in the game. Level 12 is the longest level in the game and it barely had any checkpoints. Just hope and pray that you were not on your last continue because if that happens, you'll have to do the whole game all over again which is fucking bullshit.

+BalrogTheMaster Difficulty - VERY EASY? Really? WHY DO YOU TEASE US WITH YOUR HELLISH JOKES!

Great game but very difficult, I never finished it. Level 3 was not that difficult, I've never understood why a lot of people had problems with it. However, level 6 (Snake pit) was impossible for me if not for the warp. For me the harderst level was lv 9 Terra Tubes, it took me a lot of years to beat it. Level 10 I passed it without much difficulty but then lv 11 kicked my ass and lost all my continues :(

Good on ya mate nice work

Holy shit Balrog did you just censor a swear with an 8 bit sound

02:30 No wonder, when Tails Doll is present... xD

Do you have an F-ZERO GX review?

Wow i have that same color of fc twin

I'm a masochist gamer(i got some people calling me insane as well) and i can't pass trough the third stage

When I was a kid I had this game on sega. I didn't know it was this hard. I was just playing it over and over again to the point I doing speed runs. But I did hear that the sega version is easier than the nintendo.

Man, I wonder what a new Battletoads game on the Xbox One would be like... oh god, I don't even want to know. This game looks brutal but a great review none-the-less!

Crazy Kanaan is on it again

holy shit you beat all those games, you have my respect
