FreezingInfernos plays Battletoads - Part 1 of 6


Frezno has Battletoads.

Get ready for one of the most difficult games of all time! Pimple and Princess Angelica have both been captured by the Dark Queen, and the Battletoads have to beat the Queen to get them back!

Level 1 - Ragnarok's Canyon


Beating enemies up is simple enough. Get close to them and mash the B button over and over until Rash's (or Zit's, for Player 2) fist becomes cartoonishly enlarged on the final blow.

The gold robots are really interesting. Keep punching them to get them to lean further back and land the final blow. You'll be close to doing just a little more damage to break them. The head and one of the legs can be used as weapons, and if you pick up the leg and whack robot parts, you'll be able to destroy them for points.

When you see flies, use the B button to try to catch them with your tongue. They never appear simultaneously with enemies, so don't worry about losing health until after you get them.

Wait for the red dragons to swoop down before you hit them, so you don't take unnecessary damage. You can also ride on one through what's left of the level if you can get it on the ground somehow.

There's a 1-Up just before the boss battle, so be sure to line yourself up before you go down the pit. You've only got one shot at it.

The boss is a robot. You'll be looking at it through it's visor, but you'll still be playing as one of the Battletoads. Stay away from the crosshairs, especially when the boss is shooting its lasers. Pick up the rock with the B button, then press B to toss it at the robot. The robot goes down after three hits.

Level 2 - Wookie Hole


Birds, toad-eating plants and laser-shooting robots all want you dead as you rappel down a mile-deep chasm.

To do the wrecking ball attack, stand to the side and wait, then repeatedly tap B. You'll become a green wrecking ball that sails clear to the other side of the chasm, taking out anything in your path. This works especially well on the laser-shooting robots, as it lets you take them out in a mere two hits.

The birds that fly around can give you a blade weapon that you can work with when you defeat it. Just touch the blade as it's in the air and you'll have a much powerful weapon to work with. You'll stand in place as you use it, but you have much more control over your Battletoad, which makes this a weapon to go for.

Just don't let those birds near the rope you're rappelling down from. If it snaps, it's instant death.

The birds can also be struck repeatedly after they're dead. If you can continuously strike them and keep them on the screen long enough, you can get more and more points, and ultimately, more extra lives.

Avoid the electrical barriers that slowly extend to the other side of the chasm as you dodge past them. Stay close to the bottom of the screen (but not too close) and you should be able to get past these barriers before they reach the other side of the chasm and become unavoidable.
