Yeah, some games, like “Super Mario Bros.,” had that iconic little sound when you paused the game, but “Battletoads” has this simple, yet addicting beat that makes you want to stomp your feet, clap your hands, or both. Most importantly of all, however, is the fact that very few, if any, games had music anywhere near as good as “Battletoads” did during the moment you paused the game. The level music in this game is this mix of funky, upbeat, grinding chip tune goodness that also makes use of some darker, grittier tones as the game progresses, while still keeping its roots firmly planted in the idea of giving the player a good time as they go through the game.
Titles like the “ Donkey Kong Country” series, “ Killer Instinct,” and “ Banjo-Kazooie” come to mind, among others, but before all of these classics came to life, “Battletoads” was there first to let us know that, in music alone, Rare was a company that would be a huge part of our video game history. The amount of praise Rare, the company behind this title, has received for many of its game soundtracks cannot be understated. Without any further ado, it’s time to go on a romp with Zitz and Rash! Today, Turn to Channel 3 readers, we are going to take another look at “ Battletoads.”īefore I begin, I’d like to take a moment and say that this is going to be extra special for me today because this was the game my cousin Ron and I played as kids, and then, a few years ago, got to introduce to some of the younger members of the family, playing it on the same television we played it on way back when. Spawning several Internet memes and, more notably, infuriating Gamestop employees due to frequent prank phone calls with it as the punch line, this game has become sort of a tongue in cheek part of the retro gaming community. Despite this, it has retained a cult following for many, many years, long after the last game in the franchise’s history debuted.
However, it is not as popular as the “ Super Mario Bros.” or “ The Legend of Zelda” games on the same console. To paraphrase one of the lines from the classic “ Rocky” films, the following NES game and subject of today’s Turn to Channel 3 does not need an introduction anywhere in the civilized world.
