Welcome to my world! I'm Ultrajeff, and this is my review for Super Battletoads A.K.A. Battletoads(Arcade). In this game, you play as the meanest, greenest, trail-blazing turbo-tilted toads the universe has ever seen! They are of course Rash, Zitz, and Pimple. Game-play Up to three players can join in on the brutality, as the turbulent toads mash through six levels. You can move in eight directions, and are given two action buttons (Attacking and Jumping). Rash is the shade-wearing "toadally" radical green toad. He has the fastest running speed, and his attacks consist of axes, boots, maces, and claws. Zits is the bluish-green slimy scientist toad. He's a mix between Rash's speed and Pimple's Power, and his repertoire includes drills, cleats, saw blades, and bulldozers. Last but not least, there is Pimple, the big bad brother of all toads! He is both the strongest and slowest toad, and his masonry favors helmets, hammers, anvils, and bullhorns. The three can run, jump, fight, and do all sorts of things!
Story:The plot is similar to the previous games, mostly consisting of the Toads' never ending fights with the Dark Queen and her cronies The Summary: She's returned and sent her minions to actively combat you. You have to battle them all, as well as their numerous minions. GraphicsThe game is well-animated, with several animations depicting blood, humor, fear, anger, overconfidence and more . The characters run and fight smoothly, as well as the numerous enemies.
Comparison This game is much easier then its warty predecessors. It lacks many of the frantic platforming and racing stages, though this game is not without severe challenge. It offers some variety in comparison to its numerous coin-catching rivals, as not all stages consist of beating every enemy mercilessly. Overall, its more accessible to the average gamer.
Level Design The levels mostly consist of beating all the baddies, but like the NES original, has quite a few variations, such as shooting and flying levels. There are also weapons, and you are scored based on how many enemies you have slaughtered. However, the game is very difficult, as enemies could bum-rush you and obstacles can flatten your chances of victory. (I'd strongly recommend a second player and tons of credits). Levels switch between straightforward beating action and being novelty themed (Using jet packs to descend a tunnel, using guns in a shooter-like chaotic level).
Music & Sound The game's music is absolutely delightful. It can be inspiring, intense, frantic and awesome. It features music from David Wise, Rare's original and most prominent composer, and he doesn't disappoint. It's definitely worth listening to more than once. In the end, Super Battletoads is a bucket full of fun! Give it a go!
