Developer: Rare Publisher: Tradewest Platform: NES Released in US: June 1993 Released in EU: 1993 This game has a hidden level select. This game has a bugs page This game has a prerelease article

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

To do: Finish unused enemy types. And add info on stage 3-1's unused area.

Just a Battletoads game (essentially Battletoads 3) with the Double Dragon cast tossed in. And many frustrations removed...

Level Selects

This game has not one, but two such menus:

Enter B, A, Down, B, Up, Down at the player select and listen for a sound. Then, select a character. This will also start the game with 5 lives.

Or, enter Down, Up, Up, Down, A, B, B, A for all seven levels available and 10 lives.

Be warned, completing the game after using these codes will result in a "bad" ending.

Unused Music

Like its predecessor, the music data for this game hides an unused track.

Track #12 of the common NSF. Possibly a variation on the siren that plays at the end of Level 3-3 when falling down the garbage chute.

Interestingly, this track was used as background noise on the Warp Zone screens of the Genesis version, much like the normal siren noise is used in this one.

Unused Enemy Types

To do: Replace these GIFs with better ones (or preferably videos, due to their sheer size). Also, how can these behaviors be seen in-game?

Linda Lash

A much more aggressive Linda Lash variant than the one normally seen in-game. It is nearly impossible to defeat without taking damage.

Bikers

Normally, landing a combo on the bike-riding enemies will send them flying offscreen for good. However, if their health is increased, they will instead launch straight up into the air and slowly drift back down. (It's entirely possible that this behavior is not intentional, due to how goofy it looks.)
