Playable with up to three players, the colorful animation featured during the action isn’t just a way of giving the gameplay a pretty face. Uto and Pia, known collectively as the Topians, are a pair of almost all-powerful geometric beings who use their incredible abilities to rule over the galaxy, so this trio of has-been heroes and a washed up villainess set out to somehow take down these galactic overlords and get involved in many unusual situations along the way to such a lofty goal. Looking for a way to become relevant again, the toads learn the location of their old nemesis the Dark Queen, but as they head off to beat her up because that’s just what heroes do to villains, they instead end up joining forces with her against an even greater threat. After spending 26 years in a virtual world meant to make them feel like heroes, they find adjusting to the mundane life in the real world a poor fit, a set of minigames letting the player see how awfully the toads integrate into galactic society. Right out of the gate the game actually does a bit of both, the story’s start revealing that the Battletoads, Rash, Zitz, and Pimple, have spent the past 26 years since their last game Battletoads Arcade in a simulation.

While it started off simple with it’s beat ’em up action, soon this game about muscular cartoon toads revealed itself to be an absolutely brutal genre mix which required memorization to overcome its unfair difficulty and proved to actually be impossible if played in two-player. Back in 1991, an NES game known simply as Battletoads found its way into the households of many a child.
