Battletoads (Arcade) - Playthrough
3It's been a long time since I did a playthrough video, but now I'm doing a game that I have played before when I did a gameplay video, back on my old channel. That game is: Battletoads for the Arcade. This game was developed by Rare and published by Electronic Arts, it was released in 1994. Battletoads Arcade can also be found in a compilation pack titled: Rare Replay, which was only released for the Xbox One in 2015. Battletoads Arcade, also known as Super Battletoads or just Battletoads, is a scrolling beat 'em up game and it's the fifth game in the Battletoads series. For this playthrough: I'm going to play as Rash. 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. Overall, Battletoads for the Arcade is a fantastic beat 'em up brawler, because the arcade version has blood, weaponry, gore and large breasts for the villainess (although blood could be turned off from the game's DIP switches). I really enjoy the music in this one, same goes for the gameplay and graphics. If you haven't played the arcade or the other versions that came out earlier, like the NES one in 1991 for example. I highly recommend to give this game a try, because it's a blast to play! I hope you enjoy this playthrough of Battletoads for the Arcade and thanks for watching!
