Played this some last night. Nicely designed challenge, @BeaIank. Its challenging but should be doable to get through both levels without dying. But per usual, I got caught up point racking, which adds a LOT of challenge. Between racking and the points you can get on the bike things, there is way more room for score differentials than most beat em up challenges

This was their answer to all the people who were saying "Why can't all of Battletoads just be like level 1?". Unfortunately its nowhere near as good as beat'em ups just get kind of boring after a while, even though they did try to put in a lot of zaniness like hammering guys through the floor and punching Abobo into outer space.

And this' why I made it so that you only have to get to 3-1.
This game gets old very, very fast.

Great score! I just hope I can finish in the top 5 or I'm probably going to have to win the Yie Ar Kung Fu contest to win the beat em up championship.

Thanx, yer sittin' pretty with back to back wins at the moment...

I actually like level 3 quite a bit.  For a moment I was surprised you don't have us playing it as well, but only a moment...  For me it's that ridiculous level 4 that gets old fast - Pew!, pew!!, pew!!

I love a good beat em up, but the beat em up action is not the best part of Battletoads.

It sounds like you got a bad rom.

Went and got another ROM from a different source and... Same issue. 

Is anyone else using the Analogue NT Mini Noir? This is the first time experienced a game straight up not working on it, and it sucks cuz I could totally kick ass at this. 😞

Well, you have to make it to levels 3, 4, and 5 to see it really extend itself.

It's definitely not the outrageous series of ideas you see in Battletiads though.
