In fact, most of the game is relatively easy, and I set out to try and beat it. I’m not sure what my problem was when I was younger. I picked up a cart as an adult, and this time I found that stage to be pretty easy. I never managed to get past stage 5 with the rolling rock, and gave it back to my friend. I remember being so happy that there was another entire Battletoads game, and it was almost as good as the NES one. I also remember borrowing a friend’s copy of Battletoads on Gameboy.

I managed to beat it once as a kid, a feat I haven’t been able to replicate as an adult without save states. The graphics and sound were amazing, and all the different play styles made me feel like I got many games in one.

Rash, Zitz and Pimple are returning at last to Morph Attack their way through an all-new action-packed adventure of choreographed chaos, and couch co-op may never be the same again. 1-3 players take control of the Battletoads and team up to storm through wild and The Battletoads are Back.
