Hard to believe this is an NES game. These devs showed their obvious mastery of the platform here. They did an absolutely beautiful job with the all the cool parallax, color, and just how well it plays. Not to mention the characters are all unique. Bravo Rare, Bravo

I appreciate the history lesson you give on each game before the tutorial. Depending on my experience with the game that is the most interesting part of the video for me. Always look forward to seeing your videos. Great work!

16:50 The strategy used for taking out the left ryders is definitely a good safe strategy. I noticed, however, for the right ryders that you still used kicks to beat them. Instead, do a dash towards them and ram into their bikes. This knocks them off faster and will give more time for the pod bonus section "Collection Time" in the notes in the top-left.

The ultimate team! A well-made classic beat-em-up. The faux 3D effects that Rare crafted certainly made a unique look for the company's games.

The puppy (Mance) is getting bigger!!! Looking forward to the two of them tackling some couch coop.

When I was a kid, seeing these 2 teams come together was freaking awesome. I'm shocked that other crossovers didn't happen. I've beaten the SNES version both solo and with a friend. Awesome video man!

This is my favorite game on the NES, one of the greatest and most underrated titles. Cant wait to watch! Thanks man!

The NES version is the one I have. Level 4 was the furthest I ever made it. Thanks to UCanBeatVideoGames I'll get further, or maybe even win the next time I try! Love this channel

It’s uncanny how similar this port is to the SNES version. Regardless of the console, this is still one of my favorite games from that era.

One of my fave games on the nes. I think it’s on the easy side though, except for the shooter stage where is easy to lose lives, and maybe the long stage 3. We do things differently, for example I try to get the maximum points from enemies, so when I know the enemy is on the floor and that’s it’s their last HP left, instead of the final attack that would give you 1000 points, I do a running attack (knee drop) so I’ll get 5000 points instead. Edit: best example are the hands. The hands need to be attacked three times with regular attacks, or just one knee drop. I keep the knee drop for the third attack, that way I get a total of 7000 points. Also, not mentioned in the video: -in the bike stage, if you double tap to the right, the bike would slide/dash forward to the right, if you double tap and press attack, you’ll slide and attack and that attack is one hit one kill on the bikers in front of you. -if you run and press jump at the moment you get into the bike, you’ll take a very big offscreen jump. This also works on the first battletoads. (Useless trick, but a curiosity). -you can hit some of the yellow arrows on the cable areas on stage 3, for some extra points. -on stage 2 the guys in the window throwing dinamites if you are at the door, you can throw and pick immediately the same dinamite (it will explode but you still will be able to grab it, so essentially you can do beat the guy using the same one dinamite. Don’t remember if this works also on the window guys in the rocket stage). -in the missile/rocket stage on the windows with the three guys throwing dinamite, if you time it right, you can carry a dinamite and throw to the two rats coming for you.

How many takes did it take to say “Bimmy and Jimmy” without laughing? That was perfect.

A pleasure watching your videos. It reminds me of old school game magazine tutorials and guides. Will await your next video and hoping to see you get to your 100k subscriber count.

The Mr. Show reference was amazing! Well done, again!!

your intro was perfect as a child I borrowed from a friend thinking I was playing the next installment of Double dragon and immediately realized the lee bros mechanics in this game where extremely broken and nothing like DD. It should have definitely been called Battletoads 2 featuring the lee bros. On a side note another game on the nes featuring the lee bros was a game called Super spike volley ball.

I tried finding this game for two years when I was a kid. Nobody in my area carried it. Glad to see some were able to find it and enjoy it's offerings! Awesome video, awesome gaming skills, awesome narration!

I love the history lesson intros most. One of these days a really obscure title will appear on this channel and it's going to be great to see people learn about a game they had no idea existed.

Bro after every video you make i literally pull out the mini nes move the rom over and beat them. Your channel is true to its name

this game has some of the best animation and graphics of anything I've ever seen on the NES.

Watching Billy do Battletoads attacks is much more bizarre than I had expected.

Man I love this game ! Thank you (U Can Beat Video Games ) for bringing me back to my childhood memories! And no, this game wasn’t easy. Also, Rash came out in Killer Instinct loved him in that game

Excellent choice, as a kid I thought this was just Battletoads with the Double Dragons boys added, don't know why I thought this

I loved Battletoads so much when I was a kid, I must’ve rented it over 100 times. I have never been able to beat it. I didn’t know this game was on the NES, I use to rent it for the SNES. Having Bimmy and Jimmy in the same game as the Battletoads was so awesome at the time.

Gosh, I remember when my grandparents rented this for me...I sucked at it until I chose either Billy or Jimmy and just kept doing the dash attack 😂 Thank you again for your hard work! Also... Super Metroid 😏

Your videos are always a treat. Thank you so much for this walk-through.

Heeyyy good morning YCBVG!!! Thank you so much for all of the entertainment!!!

What a cross over... Toads and Dragons. ^^ This game is visual pretty detailed. If only I had a Turbo Controller for my life. ;-)

I would definitely love to see a Battletoads and Ninja Turtles mashup. Or a Ninja Turtles and Double Dragon mashup. I think that would be sweet.

I rented this from a Blockbuster back in the early 1990s. Definitely one of the more underrated NES games.

I remember when I first seen this game at a movie/game rental store. As a kid in the 90's it blew my mind away and had to ask my parents to rent it for me. It's such a fun game. I'll always and forever remember the ship flying part.

A co-op franchise vid while I have COVID, it's exactly what I need!

Awesome! Another great in-depth review. Will we be getting a Secret of Mana or Beyond Oasis vid anytime soon?

I just love the "but what if I told you..." Part of your videos

UCBVG your awesome man thanks for all your work!

I beat the snes one a bunch but never got to play the nes one ...thank you SOOOO MUCH for this

Thanks for the video! I didn't get far each time I rented it on the NES as a child, but got a little farther on the SNES version at my friend's house. I'd like a Turok and Land Before Time mash-up, because after the first Land Before Time movie I got tired of those dinosaurs.

Puppy is getting big , fast!

"other than kingdom hearts you don't see mashups like this very often" True. One of the all-time great mashups was Aliens VS Predator for the Arcade.

That feeling when the Rare theme hits is pure love, then the hard rocking main theme song. This game is just awesome as hell and the NES version is my favorite of the all the battle toads and double dragon series as well as the SNES and Genesis version. The only complaint was Jimmy Jee's color.

Great run! I prefer the original Battletoads, but appreciate the creativity of the ultimate team. Is Solar Jetman in the foreseeable future?

I needed this video so badly, I've beaten every version of this game except the nes one. Thank you

The art style of this game is incredible

Thanks for doing this game! Man, Battletoads had so much creativity and style, every level was its own self-contained episode in some grand adventure. Pay attention to the sprite animations and you can really see the love the developers put into this game. This crossover with Double Dragon blew my mind! Now, how about a game where the Battletoads meet TMNT? Hmm, maybe that only happened in my playroom as a kid...

The "Professor of video games" educating us with one more gem of a game 🙌

The character animations were superb! I can’t believe this is an NES title. Loved this walkthrough and all of the information that you provide in these videos.

Battletoads & Double Dragon... pretty much all the stuff covered on the NES version works on SNES and Genesis, Game Boy is... weird, but this was my entry-point to the Battletoads series. By the way, once I was able to play all versions, I play the GB version the least (haven't really played it seriously), followed by the SNES version and finally tied the NES and Sega Genesis (I feel the SNES version being the hardest, followed by the NES and finally the Genesis version when it comes to hardest to easiest for me). Edit: I didn't know the game had the equivalent of the Toad code from the 1st Battletoads... how curions (not that I really needed it when I got extremely used to the game). Something you didn't mention in Stage 2 is at the bikers segment of the ride if you beat the bikers very fast you can get more pods and potentially more 1-ups in the process, if they leave (or you take too long) you can get no pods for score or 1-ups. Roper on stage 3... I think they named Wily "Roper" by mistake (not if that matters anyway). Back when I played the game for the 1st time, I wasn't able to beat stage 4 and didn't knew about the stage select cheats, but about in 2000 or 2002 I was able to beat the game... by the way, speaking of stage 4 the last set of mines can also be destroyed (but not a good idea due to how fast they move and that if they hit you is instant-"ded" so... not worth the trouble), also... if you're about to die in stage 4, you can kill yourself with the missiles you can launch and get 1000 points for that in case you need score (yeah, that's stupid, but the game allows it). At least on the NES version, the Dark Queen can cheese you when she moves fast... so... the more lives you have, the easier the fight goes in the long run.

The punch Linda animation is hilarious.

I literally was playing this as I got the notification of all the secrets on your channel thank you so much and the snes Empire Strikes Back was a great help

Kudos for the Mr Show Blowing up the Moon clip

I absolutely love ur videos pls never stop making them they are what make my weekends special I even rewatch the older ones there that good!!

Thank you for posting! Nostalgic Fun!

The message the bird gave about the Dark Queen if you used the cheat code was funny as hell.

This is like Saturday Morning Cartoons to me look forward to these videos every weekend keep it up Bravo!!

This game was amazing. I played it so much with my buddy.

Wow. Either I completely forgot or somehow never heard of this game. Glad to hear it's not as brutal as the original, but I'm still guessing this week's walkthrough will be a "watch only" for me. Please never stop making videos. Also who is that adorable addition to the team?!

I absolutely love this channel. It reminds me of those old VHS tapes of "game secrets" and 900# tip lines. Thank you for this.

So while it wasn't the NES Version the SNES version is still near and dear to me..my best friend and I used to play it all the way through college which was sadly over 10 years ago but we only ever made it to the Dark Queen without cheats ONE TIME! it's a very special game due to my friend and i trying over and over again over the years...interesting to see the NES Version cuz I'm so used to it on SNES..in fact I've never even seen the genesis version...great job again man! Freaking love your content.

Awesome intro! How did I completely miss this game growing up? All this time I thought it was just a knockoff. Which trips me up, because I really liked both franchises.

Hell yeah!! Thanks YCBV!!! Been waiting for this one!!

Thank you for this! I could never beat the asteroids like level so I will try your tips, didn't even know about the homing missiles! Hopefully the cheats won't be necessary😁 excellent narration and secrets😊

It's truly asto astonishing how good this is!

Not sure if it works for the NES version, as I owned the Sega version, but in level 3, whenever you initiate a rope section, the arrow the shows the direction to go, which flies off screen, can be hit if you're quick enough, netting you a small boost in points. For example, at 22:09, you could jump in the air and hit the flying arrow. It's a very small boost in points, but if you're trying to rack as many as possible for extra lives, just thought it'd be worth mentioning. Love the channel, great nostalgia trips!

Heh, I was hoping you'd play as a Battletoad, but that was pretty awesome. I didn't know about that Big Blag trick, and especially the Homing Missile trick in Level 4! I'll have to try this game again, still have both!

Ha I JUST secured an actual cart copy of this in Feb! AWESOME that you did this one this week.

Kudos to you for using a clip from the greatest TV show of all time Mr Show

I totally forgot this game even existed. Also, you have River City Ransom that game was so much fun to play as a teen.

The NES version was the best IMO and I love RARE's music in the 8 bit days.

I never got to play this, but seeing it in motion; This game very impressive visually with all the tricks they pulled off. Rare was one helluva company back in the day.

Hey, you got your Double Dragon on my Battletoads! Nah, you've got your Battletoads on my Double Dragon!

This game looked so good for NES game. the set pieces were large and the bosses are as well.

You had me at the Mr. Show clip 🤣

I didn't know that battletoads and double dragon the ultimate team was released on the NES I always thought it was released on the SNES, and the Sega Genises and awesome play through and thanks for all the tips and strategies to help beat the game

One of my childhood favourites

Love your video’s I’m requesting this again……..WILLOW thanks man keep up the great work

it's kinda insane the NES version might be the best version of this game

You are the NES master guide! Thank you! :)

Good walkthrough! This guide will help players lead the "Ultimate Team" to victory!

Mashups i'd like to see...? Would "Metal Gear + Bionic Commando" be crazy like a fox, or too far outside the box...? Also, "Legend of Zelda + Startropics" sounds like a funny yet interesting idea to me. :) "Metroid + Contra"...? Too nuts?

Love the clip from Mr. Show!

There is another way to kill abobo in 2 hits with billy, do a dash kick and as soon as it hits do another dash attack and billy will do the knee smash for an instakill.

HA! The Mr. Show clip was fantastic.

It's fun trying to figure out how the graphic tricks were pulled off. They take a lot of advantage of the fact that the NES sprites don't flicker so long as there are no more than 8 on one scan line. So, tall, vertical shapes are easy to do. The level intro callouts appear at the top of the screen, away from the action and there's no competition for sprite rendering. Some of the scrolling tricks are _probably_ done by changing tile definitions using character RAM instead of ROM, I think.

This is what I've waited for!! I had this on sega genesis but after the space ship fight I couldn't progress.. recently been thinking of trying to beat this after 30+years

I would love to see more SNES games on your channel

I always enjoyed this game. More actual combat and less tedious "speeder" stages that the OG Battletoads was full of.

Cant wait for Saturday each week for a new episode! Would love to see Willow done in depth.

Love your videos, man, thanks for all you do!

Always a treat to watch (any) of your mellow chill playtroughs. IF you take requests... Not sure if you do, To see an Addams Family (SNES or SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis UCBVG would be most welcome. Such a great platformer with somehow hard to master controls. I never beat the game though in the past. Anyway. Keep it up. CHeers.

I loved the SNES version and managed to work the game down to a system where I could win each time in the same timeframe. so uh, the game is kind of beatable if you know the enemy patterns. Lots of boss juggling (and you can jump kick The Dark Queen's fire form if you're a Lee)

I love the animation as you pummel the absolute crap out of the lindas lol

One of my favourite NES games of all time! This version is way better than the 16 bit Mega Drive or SNES versions.

Love this game still have my copy with box and manual

4:45: ...with some bosses requiring lightning-quick reflexes!" (*Cut to the Battletoads repeatedly kicking Psycho Mannis' insulin pump*)

I knew there were differences between the Toads and the Dragons attacks but I had no idea there were differences within each group (jump heights etc). Do you have a list of the differences?

Good memories with this game.

You can recycle the dynamite if you try to grab it quick when is about to enter the door and still dmg the doorman

My favorite game on the nes as a kid!

I see you got a new dog you can beat. Awesome. I think GI Joe and Transformers would be an awesome mashup. Thank you brother

Took 45 mins to beat this game in my childhood. But with countless tries.

I loved this game for some reason and I could never explain it to my friends

For those wondering, here are the differences between the character within each group: I could be wrong, but as far as I can tell, it's just jump height and speed. Billy jumps much higher, but it takes longer for the jump to start, as in there is a slight pause after you press A. I did some testing, and of the Toads zitz jumps the fastest but lowest, pimple jumps the highest but slowest, and rash is in the middle. The differences between the Toads are less significant than with the Dragons
