Kami68k (2 pts) 17. BrianC (1 pts) 18. HeckYesIDid (1 pts) Tips mojofltr: On Stage 2, kill a bird and hit it repeatedly while it is falling. Eventually you'll receive an extra life for each hit. MetalSlime23 If I pick up the stick from the leg thingy (don't know it's name), I can headbut the bottle on the first one and the stick and the bottle on the second one, worth 2000 points each. If you hit the enemies with the stick it is worth 750 points, but if you headbut them the first time (1000 points) and then run up and kick them with the big shoe before they get up (5000 points), this is worth the same amount of points you'd get without the weapon, and obviosly having the weapon makes better defense.

uosipa llamxew Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 (edited) Stage 3 - 199050 I used to be able to do the speeder-bikes with my eyes closed. Today, I'm way out of practice! tip: On Stage 2, kill a bird and hit it repeatedly while it is falling. Eventually you'll receive an extra life for each hit. (Gamepro published my tip in the 1991 Addams Family issue. If anyone has a copy that they wouldn't mind scanning, I'd be very grateful!)

uosipa llamxew Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Stage ? - 397450 I made it to the stage with the big snakes. I was so close to passing the second room, but I didn't realize the exit was coming up and jumped late... to my death on the spikes below.

vdub_bobby Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Stupid speed-bike stage. Lost all my lives (six!) on that stage. 322,100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Stupid speed-bike stage. Lost all my lives (six!) on that stage. Didn't get past that yet either. There's one slalom part at the end, that starts slowly and gets faster and faster, were I always blow it. There's some particle storm on the bottom lane, should I possibly try hitting that?

If you do it's a warp zone that skips you ahead a copuple of levels. To this day I have ONLY been able to hit this, and never actually complete the level.

uosipa llamxew Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 (edited) There is also a warp zone on the very first stage, although I forget which stage it warps you to. (Stage 3?) ... That last run on the speeder-bikes can be tough. You have to get into a groove, quickly pressing UP, DOWN, UP, DOWN, etc. You want to keep it as tight as you can; If you go too far in either direction, you'll hit the obstactle ahead. Don't be surprised that you'll have to make a couple jumps after you get through. ... I believe that you receive more points for killing enemies if you don't use a weapon. I prefer using a weapon, because I always get my butt kicked if I don't. ... I just played again without picking up any weapons. I'm certain that I had more points than usual, but I also lost more lives along the way, eventually 'croaking' completely on Stage 4.

vdub_bobby Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 (edited) Videos of speedruns: 24-minute completion w/ warps 36 minutes w/o warps. http://speeddemosarchive.com/Battletoads.html Might pick up some tips. Also: tip for extra points on the rope level (level 2): you can keep hitting the birds (after they're dead) for lots of points.

Cybergoth Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hey, look at this! I'm riding on a dragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub_bobby Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hey, look at this! I'm riding on a dragon This game is all kinds of cool; I had totally forgotten about that until I did it by accident yesterday! I don't think you get any points for killing anyone with the dragon, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 No, it's a pretty useless gag Phew... so I accidently hit the warp in the speeding scene. Coming next is a surfboard scene even harder... this is getting frustrating. They should've focused more on the Golden Axe scenes I think.

uosipa llamxew Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hmm, I thought the surfboard scene was easier than the speeder-bike scene. Of course, I may have just gotten lucky yesterday. The game has a lot of variety. You might master one stage, but kill yourself off trying to work out the gameplay of the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
