Professor T. Bird flies the team to her world. Each level changes the rules. Ragnarok's Canyon is a scrolling brawl, Wookie Hole drops you down a cavern on a cable, Surf City puts you on a jet surfboard, and Karnath's Lair has you riding giant snakes past spike walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Turbo Tunnel and two-player chaos\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStage three, the Turbo Tunnel, is why so many players remember this cartridge. The speeder bikes pick up speed until walls and ramps come at you faster than you can read them, and the only way through is learning the pattern. Two players can team up for the whole game, but the toads can hit each other, so co-op takes coordination. A few hidden warps let skilled players skip ahead, and continues run out quickly on the later stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat to look for in a used cartridge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe listing covers the loose cartridge unless the title says otherwise, and the photo is representative. Check that the front label is readable and that the edge connector pins look bright rather than dark or dusty. NES cartridges can be sensitive to dirty contacts, so a gentle contact wipe helps on older consoles. Battletoads has no save feature, so there is no internal battery to think about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:details --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-facts\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGame\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBattletoads\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlatform\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNES\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePhysical format\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCartridge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGame style\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAction beat-em-up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRelease\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1991\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePlayers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 to 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTradewest\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre-owned, individual cosmetic condition varies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBox, manual and accessories\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConfirm individual item contents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this game\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow does Battletoads play on NES?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt mixes side-scrolling brawling with vehicle and obstacle stages. You punch and kick through enemies, then switch to speeder bikes, cable descents, surfboards and snake climbs. Timing and memorization matter more than button mashing, and the difficulty climbs quickly after the first two levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWill this cartridge work on my console?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt plays on the original front-loading NES, the top-loading NES-101 and other consoles that accept 72-pin NES cartridges. It is a US cartridge, so it will not fit a Japanese Famicom without an adapter.
