Thanks to whichever guy told me in a battletoads thread a while ago to use excessive pausing to get past Clinger Winger's vehicle section.

>The Dark Queen would later get a game of her very own, when Battletoads: The Dark Queen was released for the Super Nintendo CD in February 1996. The game, though significantly easier than previous Battletoads titles, was an intriguing look at the past and present of this beloved villainess. The game was somewhat unique in that it switched back and forth between the Dark Queen's past and her present, with levels alternating between them. In the past, we see the Dark Queen's origins as a young apprentice sorceress named Vixariel. In these stages, the young Dark Queen completes a series of tasks but we soon discover that she plans on betraying her master and stealing his immortality. In the present stages, the Dark Queen is once again plotting to conquer the universe, and you must gather components to build a massive machine that will drain the universe of its life energy. As the Dark Queen ventures forth to gather the components, she slaughters all who oppose her in a series of levels that make you truly feel the Queen's evil power.
