Battletoads in Battlemaniacs (SNES) speed run in  

I never was able to finish this game when I was a kid. Now I know how this game ends. Thank you very much. This game is definitely one of the hardest games I ever played.

This game invented the INSANE MODE of difficulty for today's games

How were we ever supposed to beat this as kids?

This game was created by Satan himself, the first level is the Hell itself with lava sea and demonic pigs, then there is the Devil's Throat, and you have to go down there, the chess board is to give you dizziness... after years of training you can MAYBE pass half of it.

Three words: THE. FUCKING. SNAKES. Also, this game had a pretty awesome soundtrack.

Congrats! That level with the jetsky or whatever it is is so funking hard!

Unbelievably fast walkthrough! Thank you, TheSuperSNES.

You made light of the hardest game ever created on this planet. You are the true king of our kingdom. /kneel

That bike level, took years away from me. Memorised the whole start of it to then learn today the ‘impossible jump’ has a ramp in the floor to get back up 😢 Kudos for completing

HARDEST FUCKING GAME

love this game. music is so awesome

Originally the game was developed in order to drive people to the madness

If an enemy is on the ground and you do a "dash attack" near him, it will always be a finisher (either the boot with Pimple or the sweep kick with Rash). All of the other powerful attacks I do are either just from the enemy having low health or from the enemy being a boss (you always hit with powerful attacks on bosses).

Wow man. Full respect to you. Ive never beat this bike level. You rekt my whole childhood with that xD

It's so fast and very professionally. Respect

Nice work and thank you for not putting yourself in the video and just playing the game!

ugh..i loved this game...but that bike level...SO DAMN HARD...i never beat it...after like 1,000 tries i could never beat that bike level

For me, the hardest game one the snes.

I see. Interesting. I seems to work a little bit like the warp zones from the NES version, I didn't know something like that could happen in the SNES game. Thanks for the answer, and congratulations for the awesome speedrun!

Tbh, I'm simply impressed that you beat the Turbo Tunnel

Awesome to finally know what came after those M"Fn snakes!

Holy...i had this game when i was a teenager...never could finish...it was amazing difficult. And this guy beat it in 20 minutes.

I remember getting this game for Christmas; Me and my brother use to play battletoads a lot, never beaten the nes version but I managed to beat this game. The only gripe I have about this game was the fact it had more race stages and less action stages. (NTM turbo tunnel, karnnath's lair, coaster stage, and rate race.) Good job on the speedrun. Btw, I saw your race on the battletoads nes game, congrats.

The last boss quote seems like the same quote of the enemies when you beat them in the first Street Fighter game.

Didn't knew we could jump single plataforms in Stage 4

I did the early level end glitch on the snake level once when I was a kid and could never repeat it. My brother's never believed me.

amazing run pj this game is really good but i just wish it have more levels and a better combat

1:29 very nice tactic. RU-vid's timing must be off. You first hit start at 0:10, and the ship gets the final hit at 20:17, which would be 20:07. But, this is a very impressive run. I had been speedrunning this as well comming up with times of 20:20 but knowing it could be better. And this is better. good run.

This game was so FUN! Even if I couldn't beat it when I was as mall child I still loved playing it for the bike level

Nice work! Now that I've seen it beaten, I can't believe how short this game is! The original had more levels ffs.

the bikes level is a REAL test for candidates to be real pilots of sukhoi su35 actually.

Brings back so many memories

How'd you jump To the rocks on the bike level as I've always just fell through. Also what happened to zits. He was never found?

I never beat the game, always lost my lives on the last boss, and I never knew about the infinite lives cheat when I was younger. I can't believe they made a friggin' Street Fighter 1 reference at the end. "WHAT GREAT STRENGTH!"

That's freaking amazing. Nobody's gonna beat that!

tellement de souvenirs ! j'avais fini le jeu à la belle époque de la snes, mais je me souvenais pas qu'il était aussi dur !

Rat race was near-flawless. Only erred on one platform. What a joy to watch.

this is awesome gameplay , respekt , thx ) ) )

The level after the snakes is impossible. That's where it stopped for me. Such precision.

+TheSuperSNES can you tell me when did you start and stop the timer?

I always played with my brother when I was a kid, the bike level was my fav, I also use to love booting my brothers player on purpose off the cliff at the first level was so much fun. I never went past the snake level...the ice part of the snake level I got stuck on...now that I see there was a bike chasing you after that...looked so difficult! The last boss looked easy tbh...

NES Battletoads is one of my favorite games, so when this came out I of course snapped it up. I have to say, watching this run, and remembering back, I think the NES Battletoads was a richer, more varied game than this is. Awesome run though, PJ.

One of the best soundtracks ever

excellent, i thought s/he eas going to do the bad ending to not waste time in this speedrun. Incredible, what precision with the missiles

Haha, I know what you mean. I'm always playing Battletoads, but I haven't been trying for a run in a long long time. Warpless is especially mean because of all the autoscrollers at the start. Maybe some day I'll try that run again seriously, but who knows.

Bodyguard: "Welcome to the Salty Spittoon, how tough are ya?" Me: "I can make it all the way past the the Snake Ladder level in Battletoads In Battlemaniacs." Bodyguard: "Right this way, sorry to keep you waiting."

Nice to see you getting a good run. Accept!

What an awesome run! Have you ever done this co-op? I never could find anyone to beat this with.

Queen- "Ahh we lost the first time. Make everything look nice and polished with the same basic level designs, but make it hard as f*ck." This is like the second Death Star to a whole new level. Love the game, but child me lost patience. Made it exclusively a rental when I wanted a challenge. (Miss you BB)

I just managet to win battletoads for the first time! Finally i have no more nightmares of this unfinished game anymore.

Hardest game ever. I never finished it - so great to see that it´s possible. And I thought twenty years ago, I was a good player :D

Para mim esse é, sem dúvida, um dos jogos mais difíceis de jogar. parabéns por esse feito grandioso!!!!!!!!

the fourth level was so damn hard because it goes ever faster,,, made me crazy

Respect!

6:35, that the song, please tell me guys?

hey, so i'm not sure you know like every game out there, but I had a question if you know a game, it might be on the pc, but it was an old ass game, back in the SNES Sega genesis time, and the game was a music type game. There were like little bugs that would walk over colored blocks, and they would make a sound corresponding to the color of the block, and what kind of instrument it was, and there were some cool ass songs that were made from it, and in awesome shapes, like I know there was that surfer song with a picture of someone surfing a wave. Like I said, idk if you know all kinds of games well, but I just wanna know what the hell that game was called. It was kind of a big part of my childhood.

Yooo that POD run was OD! 😂 now I remember why I never beat this game, just watching it frustrated me 🤬.

How am I doing what? I don't think I did anything unusual on that stage. Haha. I'm glad you enjoyed the run!

LOL never seen the levels beyond lvl 3... They were just a myth to me. BUT THEY DO EXCIST!

Damn that snake level got me. How did u know where to jump down towards the top? Crazy! I mustve tried beating snake level 200 times!

I never knew this game was so short. No wonder they had to make it that difficult. Still love it though.

i got to the thing after the snakes where you have to press up down right left really quickly but only twice and i was on my last legs then. i was never able to finish this game when i was young.

so its just a bunch of minigames, i was hoping for the "arcade type" of the first level, at some point after when i was a kid

Mirá lo que es esa dificultad papá.

wow dude ur to good. and dam this game is so hard like super hard. even as a kid could not beat the bike level ever. and now today im 30 years old and i stll can.t bike the bike level lol. thats all i can get up to. i even tryed again today and i still got owned in the bike level.

Childhood memories !

Why did that snake level finish early???

How are you getting the powerful attacks nearly all the time? I played this a lot as a kid, never beat the second level, heh.

Maestro!

This game is fuc***** hard! It was my first SNES game, coz these game came with my console. Is so frustrating....

Hahaha watching this I feel like I'm playing, I could do all the input, no bullshit ^_^ This game is so awesome, the music and levels design is pure genius! This speedrun is in the limits, I could do it in a similar time, maybe save a few seconds xD, but I don't think it could be done so much better than this. Yeah I know... vote me down, vote me down... whatever =)

I would guess it has something to do with the snake's head touching the exit at that point. It could be that tail -1 is somehow equal to the head in the programming (since you're on the tile where the tail was on its last frame, you are tail -1). It could also have nothing to do with that, though.

so impressive

I didn't get what was your final move on Level 4 part 4 (the icy section). How the hell did you exit the stage without actually reaching the exit? Mindblowing job, by the way!

So this game basically only has one beat em up style stage!?

Merry Christmas, P.J.! This speedrun is really impressive, as a kid I resigned at the third level that I could beat only once in uncountable attempts. So momentarily I'm trying this game (casual, not a speedrun). What's freaking me out is one jump in the fourth part of the snake level. When two snakes are going for the "roof" you have to make three jumps (at 13:40). I just can't do the last jump. Either I hit the spike to my left or the spike above my head. Thanks to an emulator I tried this jump hundreds of times, but it seems just random if I make it or not. Additionally I don't see a cue where to jump exactly. May I ask you how you got consistent at this jump?

WTF perfect player !

lol thge speeder stage is so fucking redicolous, how any human being is supposet to beat that

why the snake lv end in 13:50???? #TheSuperSNES

👍mui bien!!

Oh man this is nuts. I can't even beat the hovercraft stage!

thhat music

This is someone who played this game a whole lot of times.

Hey are you still playing Battletoads NES? I've been practicing the last few months, and I'm trying to get a sub-30min warpless run to fill that SDA slot, but I swear that game has a mind of its own. :/

Damn I never even made it to the snake level as a kid. Ehh, maybe once. This is impressive

did you skipped the space level? O.o

I still have nightmares of the turbo tunnel

i played this game hard when i was younger and i worked my way to getting past the snake level but then the next level just shut me down.

You could freaking jump over the tall cement blocks in the obstacle race stage?! What!!

I've beaten this game so many times only to be able destroy that UFO arrrgh,those rockets are a pain.

I'm honestly not sure how it works. If you just stand still on the snake's tail there, the level will end when you fall. I don't know if it works in any other places or not, but this is the one I accidentally found. Haha. Thanks!

Never got past level 2 as a kid. LOL I rented this game from Blockbuster back when it still existed.

I can't believe I beat this game if I did try these days I don't think I would ever do it

Hahaha, I don't doubt you! Anybody who can play Actraiser 2 like you can definitely run this game. It's not a terribly hard game. ^_^ This run can be improved by ~5-7 seconds with a perfect level 2, a perfect second bonus level, and slightly better Rat Race. I'm not interested in trying though. Haha.

Savestate much?

QUE JUEGAZO DE LO MAS ORIGINAL Y DIVERTIDO QUE PUDE JUGAR

I'd like to show you my progress if you're interested. I have a bunch of new minor tricks (and two fairly major ones) that I thought you might be interested in seeing, assuming you haven't learned most or all of them already since last year. It's a pretty long list, so should I send a PM?

This and the Simpsons were favourite games as a kid. Could never beat Battletoads though

man such great memories when i played this game and the game is not hard... it wasnt hard when i was 9 and played it with my 10yr old cousin

Very yes
