Play Battletoads (USA, Europe) Online

Battletoads for the Game Boy came out in 1991, developed by Rare and published by Tradewest. It was one of the many side-scrolling action games on the system, but it stood out for its strange humor and punishing difficulty.

You control one of the Battletoads, brawling through levels filled with alien enemies. The main goal is to rescue your friend Pimple from the Dark Queen. You punch, kick, and use exaggerated special moves to clear each screen. The game is known for its sudden shifts in gameplay, like the infamous turbo tunnel where you dodge barriers at high speed. It's relentlessly hard, demanding precise timing and memorization. Playing it feels like a constant test of reflexes and patience.
