I remember playing this with my friends on first grade school, we only get 5 coins at the time every other day, it took us till 4th grade to beat the game, it was awesome
This was my favorite Battletoads game. I like how it uses the game mechanics from Battlemaniacs. It's also the only game that was never released to a home console, the only Battletoads game that has a high level of Blood and violence and it's the only game that allows you to play all three BattleToads simultaneously!!
Battletoads Arcade Games in 1994 0:00 Characters Player 3 Rash 1. Zitz 2. Pimple 3. Double Dragon & Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Main villain from an evil the Dark Queen and to her army of space mutants. Are but with back quality I wanna Battletoads in 1994 get seems most play the video games.
Honestly only 1 of the players seems skilled, the other 2 made this look a bit less coordinated and random than it typically actually is during gameplay.
@@JuanMendoza-qd5lm This is being played on netplay, not even dedicated online, so they get a lot of lag on their end, it's super apparent on the videos with minigames, one person just dominates every time. Plus I'm assuming the 1 player you mention is aaronmunroe, who has played almost every beat 'em up out there, let's cut the others some slack.
2020 is alright, but it's not anywhere near BT: Arcade. 2020 has a lot of self aware humor but it's missing some charm here and there. The visuals take some getting used to and a lot of the designs that aren't the toads themselves look.....different....
@@Motolmang I hate everything about the new BT. They did to it, what they've done to everything from my generation. They've taken all the seriousness out of it, and tried to replace that tone with overly silly "humor". They refuse to have anything with a mature tone these days. It disappoints me to no end.
@@Motolmang Yeah, to an extent... The Nintendo port basically just dropped the blood, and replaced it with particle effects/sparkles. However, the Dark queen still looked like a grown woman, and the Toads limbs never turned into comedic weapon types. The games still had a bit of a grittier tone to them. Now days, EVERYTHING has to be sunshine and rainbows! This was Microsoft's chance to bring that dark gritty arcade feel back to the franchise, and possibly expand upon it, but instead, all they've done, is insure that I'll never play this game.
@@EXmugen Iunno man, I kinda like the over the top cartoon-ish feel of the battletoads. The whole shape shifting limb weapons is a great catch for me. And I just like the absurdity of the franchise as a whole. I think 2020 did a decent job capturing some of that humor while also making fun of itself. Yeah I really think some of the designs could have been better (Dark queen hiding all that thicc for one) and the color palate was a bit much at points but I still think it was a decent game regardless.
I was legit scared fighting it. I dunno, something about how it preys on you at the background, then pulls it's teeth out for you to see and then lunges at you.
Good ol' Karnath. Still to this day, the most intimidating boss I've experienced in gaming. I was 13 when I first played this in the arcade, and he gave me nightmares
90's arcade experience was just a different gravy, so glad I got to grow up with this era of games. Remember when a kid or group of kids would be really far in a game like this and everyone would crowd around the machine out of excitement that they might beat it? Good times lol.
When I was young. I remember going to the laundromat after school with my brother with a pocket full of quarters and we would play this game till we were out. Good times.
This is one of the best beat em ups of all time. For me, it's the one I have most fond memories of. If they ever did make a new battletoads game, I'd like it to be more like this, with 2d art and hyperviolent, with you actually feeling the impact of every smashing strike.
I always adored how this game felt like a mix of an edgy Adult Swim cartoon with Looney Toons logic, and I wish the rest of the series followed suit instead of that crap we got in 2020
Don't you just hate it when the arcade version of a classic video game is so much cooler than the console versions but you end up finding out how much cooler than the console versions it was over 2 decades too late? God, I'd kill (figuratively speaking) to get back the old days of the box arcade era that i missed out on.
This is honestly the best Battletoads game in series imo. I love the graphic sprites, the sound design and soundtrack is incredible and the game plays very well. I'm sad that it never got an official home console release but at least Rare Replay gave everyone the opportunity to play it at home consoles even though it took them long enough! After watching E3, I was really pleasantly surprised to see this franchise come back so I can't wait for new game next year. Rare!, Microsoft! TAKE MY MONEY!!!
I wish it got a REAL home console release, no infinite lives, fair but challenging, and a Dark Queen final boss along with the snake fight being after the jetpack level (not after the winter hell level). On Rare Replay it's just an emulation of the Arcade game with infinite credits, and unfair enemies since the game was meant to take your quarters.
There was also supposed to be a big pig boss dressed up as Santa in the snow level, and you’d have to save the real Santa after you beat him. Not to mention the brain level from the GameBoy game was supposed to be in this one.
Incredible! I've always been a fan of Battletoads. The one from the NES, battlemaniacs and dounle dragon gamescwere all I knew. I have never known about this game until now. I never even knew the humor was this dark and the game had this much blood. I would kill to play this! I'd rather this than that Battletoads from the Gamescom conference anyday.
I heard somewhere that there WAS plans for a SNES port but it never came to be. It has actually gotten a port, It's in that one collection full of Rareware games on the Xbox.
There was also supposed to be a GameBoy port. There’s like 2 seconds of footage online. An SNES port, unfinished or not, might be out there somewhere, in an archive or in some random guy’s hands. It’ll probably be a while till we find out tho.
It was due to a lack of interest afterwards due to the arcade cabs getting low sales. Which also results in the arcade cabinets being super rare nowadays.
At-home consoles and games like Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat, etc. began growing higher in popularity in the early 90s. I personally believe that this game was just unfortunately too late to the party. It got nothing but great reviews, but the arcade age in America began declining at that time.
Sheesh out of the 8 planned stages only 5 were finished, the rocket rider, star glider and brain chase were cut including a boss, now when you see the Karnath's boss arena, there seems to be a liquid underneath him and a spine with bloody veins in it, this was supposed to be the original mid-boss of stage 3, (the "cave" pit), it was a stomach with blood in it, which after beating Karnath led to brain chase
Guys. It's incredible. I still went through battle toads on the NES without losing lives, it was very, well, very difficult ... Several months of training ... How much time did I lose
Just Imagine if this game was put onto console. And then many years later in 2019 they make an announcement that this version of battletoads is being remastered and coming back onto Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo switch. That would be nice. ☺️
Nintendo Switch and Xbox only mainly not on PS4 because Sony don’t have no rights to have IPs for Rareware to port one of there games on PlayStation consoles
All they need to do is take this game, add in speeder bikes and snakes platform and other variety of minigames and u literally will have the best BT game ever. They drop the ball with the new one
@@marcoantonioarmijomedrano4302 This game has a very mysterious developmental story behind it, but it’s speculated that they worked on this right after the release of the NES original, EA just sat on it for two years and let the game flop.
After you kill an enemy with the 3 punches and the "Fatality" while is on the ground, there is one animation of the character celebrating. Zitz is my favorite 😂 😂
Battletoads Arcade is a coin-operated, scrolling beat 'em up arcade game. Up to three players, as the Battletoads (Rash, Pimple, and Zitz), punch and kick oncoming enemies through six levels to save their alternate universe from the Dark Queen. Arcade was the first Battletoads game to feature three-player cooperative multiplayer. Players control their characters with eight-directional joysticks and two buttons (attack and jump). Characters can run if the player pushes the joystick twice in the same direction. The Toads vary in fighting style: Rash is nimble, Pimple is burly, and Zitz is a balance of the two. As customary for the series, the Toads can knock enemies off-screen such that they appear to fly towards the players, breaking the fourth wall. The Toads can also eat flies to regenerate health. Each Toad has its own signature exaggerated power and attack, in which their limbs turn into objects such as axes and drills. Enemies include aliens, mutant rodents, and snowmen. Each level has a unique theme, such as a "Christmas grotto", and a boss fight finale. Some bosses, such as General Slaughter, return from previous games. Some levels differ in presentation and gameplay. Some levels are Double Dragon-style 2.5D brawlers, while others are strictly two-dimensional. In one level, the Toads wear jetpacks and descend a tunnel, and in the final level, the Toads shoot enemies from a vehicle. Players can also destroy a spaceship in a Street Fighter II-style bonus stage. Battletoads Arcade is displayed in standard definition raster graphics in horizontal orientation with either mono or stereo sound within an upright arcade cabinet. Rare took greater liberties with violence and gore in Battletoads Arcade since the product was not destined for home consoles. It was Rare's first game to use the 3D graphics technology later implemented in Donkey Kong Country and Killer Instinct. Despite being finished, the game remained unreleased "for ages", according to Rare's George Andreas, who had worked on the game. Although the game playtested and sold well and appeared financially viable, the publisher hesitated to release it. The game proved unsuccessful in the arcades, Rare had finished and tested handheld Game Boy port of Battletoads Arcade, but it was callenced following the arcade's game poor sales. A Super NES port was also planned and canceled, likely due to the arcade game's mediocre reception. Rare's Brendan Gunn had worked on the port and said that the team had nearly finished the first level before the project was scrapped. He figured that the decision may have been linked to mediocre sales but was not sure. Super Battletoads, as the arcade game was also known, was the planned title for the two ports. received its first console release when it was emulated for the Xbox One as part of the 2015 Rare Replay compilation of 30 games from Rare's 30-year history. In the Rare Replay version, additional features include a setting for unlimited continues, the ability to "rewind" time (and replay a section), and the opportunity to save game progress at any time. Battletoads Arcade's poor performance led to a 26-year franchise hiatus that ended with the 2020 series reboot. In the mid-2000s, Rare began to plan a possible sequel but ultimately decided that there was no original direction for the game apart from its past and did not want to repeat the failed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot. The arcade game's failure also led Rare to set low expectations for future arcade releases. Battletoads Arcade later influenced the cooperative play mode in the 2011 Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One and Kotaku recognized Battletoads Arcade among the 16-bit era beat 'em ups with the best graphics. This game makes the arcade versions of TMNT: Turtles in Time and The Simpsons Arcade game look like a fair and well-balanced game in comparision. The arcade games of Konami and Sega and praised its humor, combat, and character. They added that Battletoads Arcade was a swan song for the series, with numerous references to moments and levels from previous games. For example, the first stage atop the Dark Queen's ship was similar to the opening of Battletoads/Double Dragon: The Ultimate Team and the jetpack level was reminiscent of the "Wookie Hole" level in the original Battletoads. They called its console cancellation "a tragedy".
Yeah, I could never get passed the snake boss at the arcades. Those one hit kills are super cheap! Must have wasted like $15 dollars getting stuck there and never beat it because of it
This is on Rare Replay. I feel bad for anyone that doesn't get to check out that collection. I would almost say it's worth having an Xbox One for alone.
Hey just came watching this 90s arcade and I like it better than the 2020 Battletoads. That actually makes me wanna play it. I wish the company could've done better and make it more like THIS.
hey! did you know that the arcade isn't the first time that battletoads had blood? in battletoads in battlemaniacs, when pimple gets hit in the second stage, you might see blood coming out of his face, oh and in stage 5, when he gets sawed, you see some gore of his body parts being cut off.

A beatable arcade game? Surprising
This Feels like the coolest Saturday morning Cartoon that never existed, right??
Hope that whatever Microsoft does for their upcoming new Battletoads that they can make it great
It’s on rare replay for Xbox one
Holy hell. That snake guy would've been a coin eating machine on an arcade machine.
Karnath always had annoying stages.
zagorith14 take it from me he was
He was. I can confirm. My run at the arcade would usually end there
The music on his stage was cool tho that’s what made the second stage my favorite
BUT,toads is not easy to be devoured.
This game makes the arcade version of TMNT: Turtles in Time look like a fair and well-balanced game in comparison.

Although the game playtested and sold well and appeared financially viable, the publisher hesitated to release it. The game proved unsuccessful in the arcades, Rare had finished and tested handheld Game Boy port of Battletoads Arcade, but it was callenced following the arcade's game poor sales. A Super NES port was also planned and canceled, likely due to the arcade game's mediocre reception. Rare's Brendan Gunn had worked on the port and said that the team had nearly finished the first level before the project was scrapped. He figured that the decision may have been linked to mediocre sales but was not sure. Super Battletoads, as the arcade game was also known, was the planned title for the two ports. received its first console release when it was emulated for the Xbox One as part of the 2015 Rare Replay compilation of 30 games from Rare's 30-year history. In the Rare Replay version, additional features include a setting for unlimited continues, the ability to "rewind" time (and replay a section), and the opportunity to save game progress at any time. Battletoads Arcade's poor performance led to a 26-year franchise hiatus that ended with the 2020 series reboot. In the mid-2000s, Rare began to plan a possible sequel but ultimately decided that there was no original direction for the game apart from its past and did not want to repeat the failed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot. The arcade game's failure also led Rare to set low expectations for future arcade releases. Battletoads Arcade later influenced the cooperative play mode in the 2011 Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One and Kotaku recognized Battletoads Arcade among the 16-bit era beat 'em ups with the best graphics.
This game makes the arcade versions of TMNT: Turtles in Time and The Simpsons Arcade game look like a fair and well-balanced game in comparision.
The arcade games of Konami and Sega and praised its humor, combat, and character. They added that Battletoads Arcade was a swan song for the series, with numerous references to moments and levels from previous games. For example, the first stage atop the Dark Queen's ship was similar to the opening of Battletoads/Double Dragon: The Ultimate Team and the jetpack level was reminiscent of the "Wookie Hole" level in the original Battletoads. They called its console cancellation "a tragedy".
The 2020 remastered version should had the shredders Revenge art style
Apparently Rash made his way into Killer Instinct for Xbox One!
Yikes, I can't believe this had blood.
3:00 ooooo I love that part boot kick 9:41 karath sound 17:47 the toads aaaaaaaaah
Big horns and big boots and big fists 🔥🔥🔥 am down for a remaster of battletoads🙏🙏🙏🙏
Why isn't the new game this cool?
They beat up the bad guys so brutally I almost feel sorry for them.
Nah.
I love level 3 only for the continuous blows to the testicles that they give to the wolves XD
Wait, these guys fight pig aliens? Sounds like they and Duke Nukem have a common enemy!
@Artuurs Z.
Oh. Well, either way, both parties fight pig-like humanoids.
Yeah, I could never get passed the snake boss at the arcades. Those one hit kills are super cheap! Must have wasted like $15 dollars getting stuck there and never beat it because of it
good child hood moments that kids now a dayz will never knw
So much cooler than the reboot
I came back from Battle Toads E3 announcement:
3 player couch co-op and a BRAND NEW GAME!!! GameStop will take preorders of Battle Toads soon!!!!
@@Eienlanzer I checked the new trailer, and it went in a different direction. Nothing can beat the arcade original.
This is on Rare Replay. I feel bad for anyone that doesn't get to check out that collection. I would almost say it's worth having an Xbox One for alone.
This is way more fun than Battletoads in Battlemaniacs or the NES version or the crossover with Double Dragon!! Is the best Battletoads game!!
My son and I have beaten this game on rare replay countless times. So great!
This is what I expected Battlemaniacs to be, a straight beat em up... Then I got to level 3 and no further. I'll have to try this someday.
This would've been a great successor to Battlemaniacs on the SNES!
42:37 The reboot has the same type of humor.
Yeah I watched it to the end. Was awesome! Shame I couldn't play it in my country.
Six years ago of this gameplay and the nuts grab in 11:37 still really hilarious XD
Love those two rats who take big shits before coming out to face you. XD
Dark Queen is one of the hottest villains :3
TMNT , battle toads, street sharks,and swat Kat's should team up in a game like this.
VirusEffect X
All those plus Biker Mice from Mars, Mighty Ducks, Sonic...
Have you seen the game Sonic Adventure Revolution?
Hey! At least my mom allowed me to play games that are Bloody
10:30 Damn the Dark Queen reminds me of 90s porn star Rocki Roads👍
Fuck yeah!!!))
Awesome game especially the blood and decapitations and more blood I was expecting it on the 2019 game
Rash. The small, quick agile one
Pimple. The big, slow but powerful one.
Zits. The best or both worlds with speed and power.
The Rash player got carried so hard.
Очень хорошее прохождение, спасибо)
I see that game on the Pisonet Cafe on the public market
Hey just came watching this 90s arcade and I like it better than the 2020 Battletoads. That actually makes me wanna play it. I wish the company could've done better and make it more like THIS.
The newer battletoads just had to flop hard. Why can’t it be like this?
Great playthrough guys.
The Dark Queen is 6 feet tall but 126 lbs? Dang, she is severely underweight.
@@anthonymccall3064 She is the Queen of Lower Back Pain.
Supermodel material...
@@anthonymccall3064 They're fakes.
@@angrytheclown801 😂
hey! did you know that the arcade isn't the first time that battletoads had blood?
in battletoads in battlemaniacs, when pimple gets hit in the second stage, you might see blood coming out of his face, oh and in stage 5, when he gets sawed, you see some gore of his body parts being cut off.
MAD, BAD, CRAZY TOADS!!!!
So who's here after the new "battletoads" were released? The final boss is a QTE event, A QTE EVENT for fuck's sake!
PFFT.... yeah............ like srsly........ Beat em up!? NAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, lets just shove a QTE as a final boss... ugh....
The QTE was cool tho
Great time work guys you really backed each other especially fighting Hannah.
3:44 Donkey Kong vibes!
I only beat it when my creepy uncle gave me enough quarters. He had his uses. Who was the user, and who was the used?
What'd you guys use to netplay with?
I think I used MAME++ 0.132 for this one, but the more common MAME++ 0.119 works just as well for this game.
