Goated Toad 'em up
This review is for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis version
This was one my favorite games as a kid. Me and my brother used to rent it from Block Buster until we eventually got a copy used, I think as a hand-me-down from a neighbor who got an N64. I don't think I ever got passed the second level, but always enjoyed it.
Lately I've been trying to beat it on my RG-Arc emulation handheld when I can't sleep and it's been kicking my ass, but some save state practice helped me get towards the end of the game. I surprised myself on a flight the other day and ended up 1cc the entire thing. Sadly I had no WiFi so I didn't get the retroachievement 😅
I know this is partially nostalgia goggles but I genuinely think this is a great game. Unlike standard beat 'em ups, there's a lot of variety in the gameplay and the combat is surprisingly deep. The music slaps, the graphics work great, despite being a bit simple for '94, and the game is challenging but beatable.
Parts of the game feel unfair, but you eventually learn tricks to navigate all these issues (except for the shmup level which basically requires a turbo button). …

Parts of the game feel unfair, but you eventually learn tricks to navigate all these issues (except for the shmup level which basically requires a turbo button). There is a surprising amount of depth for a combat system with just a punch and a jump button.
I highly recommend this if you like beat em ups! I haven't played the other Battletoads games but this one is apparently easier. I quickly tried the NES port and that is really impressive for the hardware. It's essentially the same core gameplay as the SNES and Genesis games.

And if so, will the Dark Queen and the Shadow boss stay long enough for you to settle the score?The gameplay is as follows.in this game consisting of 7 sections, you are trying to kill enemies and cross the section.The music of the game is beautiful.If you are not too obsessed with graphics and you like retro games, this game is for you.My rating for the game: 10/10 (y) Good games to everyone 🙂

Although the music is still incredible after all these years...the simple-mechanics are fun enough. The cheap bosses and stuck in the loops of enemies make this kind of tiresome if you don't have a game genie to implement infinite lives! Whoever beat this game legitimately and solo single player you have my props!
