[edit] Confusing, unorganized article
This article is a mess. This is supposed to be the page for the series in general right? But the articles focuses mainly on the NES version and mentions things specific to that version only. Shaolin Samurai 05:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Heights and weights
A source that shows these characters' weights, not just their heights, conflicts the one used here by making Pimple and Rash taller... But they do include weight... I found that data in a japanese page searching Zitz' and Rash's weight... I did not understood what it said so I can't say it's official in any way but at it list it's more precise... So if someone could give full official info... It would be great.
Difficulty aside, it is, in the opinion of this humble contributor, one of those rare games that is pure fun, and quite possibly the best NES game ever.
This doesn't seem encyclopedic at all, true as the statement may be. Any other thoughts?--Benfergy 03:52, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
I appreciate that he at least tried to maintain the NPOV, but this certainly doesn't need to be here for the reader's edification. --Charles M. Reed 18:31, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Difficulty of ports
The Genesis port of this game is, while still very hard, much easier than the NES version; the difficulty was obviously altered intentionally. I feel that this is worth noting in the article, but since it is based on my own playing experiences, it is original research. Anyone know if Sega required that the Genesis port's difficulty be toned down to allow it, or what else the reason for this is? --Graue 21:47, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
I added a mention anyway, as it's fairly obviously easier. --Graue 15:34, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] 2D and 3D
A third of the levels is three-dimensional. The game should be classified as 3D, don't you think? previous comment by 66.250.54.139
None of the levels are actually 3D. --Pagrashtak 01:20, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Arcade Verson
The Arcade Verson had good music useing the bsmt 2000 sound chip. --JoeTheDragon
[edit] connection to anthrax?
WAS THE THEME SONG IN THE INTRO THE SAME SONG DONE BY ANTHRAX ON FISTFUL OF METAL?!?!!? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.44.38.213 (talk • contribs) 04:36, 20 February 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Where's article on Dark Queen?
Some minor bosses have their own.
[edit] Super Smash Brothers Brawl
Is it possible for the 'toads to be in it?
- Although anything's possible with the right licensing agreements, it's highly unlikely. Smash Bros. primarily features Nintendo creations only. Snake is simply in there because Kojima volunteered it. So don't hold your breath. -Jacquismo 03:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Rare split from Nintendo and went with Microsoft. Nintendo did get to hold onto some games Rare produced using Nintendo licensed characters, but I don't think they retained the Toads. You'd be more likely to see a new BT game show up on the X-box. Hewinsj 06:49, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Why Japanese?
Why the game's name in Japanese given if Rare is a UK based company? It's a bit misleading.
Yeah, I don't get why that has to be done on every video game, particularly if it's from UK/US companies.--4.244.33.90 19:53, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
-- I think it should be removed, since it wasn't made in Japan. It makes as much sense as sticking other languages' names on it. Torte 12:05, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] article can include memorable game quotes
The dialogue in the game is quite good. The quotes are noteworthy. How about including these?
- How are any quotes from the game noteworthy? I can't remember a single quote of the dialogue from any game in the series. Unless it's had an effect on popular culture somehow or there's some widely-used quote lurking on the Internet, there's no need for any game dialogue here. It's more important at this point to actually make this into a good article first before adding more fluff. -Jacquismo 03:40, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] About the Clinger-Wingers glitch (player 2 dies on level 11)
The glitch is fairly well known. Information can be found here (and it can be verified in the accompanying movie). Player 2 does not move on that level, and because the level is a race away from a spinning spiral thing whose name I am not aware of at all, he will die. I'm going to remove the citation needed notice. Curtmack 01:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
I find it hard to believe that such a glitch exists. I have a real NES and the Battletoads cartridge. My brothers and I were able to consistently get up to level 11, and we've never had this problem. We live in Australia, so it'd be a PAL version I guess. Perhaps the glitch is only in NTSC versions? Ong elvin 03:41, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Is this Battletoads?
Nope, i'm pretty sure it's KOTOR.
- In before Doom 3.
[edit] Horrible Article combines too many games into one
This article combines far too many games into one, and should be split by each unique game. Battletoads (NES, Genesis) should be given a different page than Battletoads (GB), or Battletoads (SNES). You wouldn't combine "Super Mario Land" and "Super Mario Bros" into one page, would you? Combining different games with the same title makes just about as much sense.--Dwedit 09:33, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps we need to pull out some of the information in this article, and just make one for the full series and then leave the NES-specific information here? Or make this article the series article and make a new one for the NES game. -Jacquismo 03:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hmm
What game is this?
- A played-out catchphrase used by those who can't come up with something witty of their own. In Soviet Russia, all your base are belong to Cowboy Neal when God kills a kitten. You're the man now, dog. -Jacquismo 22:33, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Virtual Console section
Why is there any need for this section? You could pretty much add this for any NES/SNES/N64 game of any kind of popularity. It contributes absolutely no information to the real article, which is already bloated. If no one has any objections, I'm going to delete it in a few days. -Jacquismo 22:33, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
