Okay, I'll be humiliatingly honest here...

As a kid, I couldn't get past level 2. Yes, that's the truth, I couldn't even beat that level. I probably last played it on the NES in...1995? 1996? So I was 10 or 11. Yes, it's really embarrassing, but I couldn't do it. I did, however, love those first two levels.

Anyway, only within the last few weeks did I download the ROM for it (my carts got lost a long time ago...) and only NOW can I get to stage three. But you know what? You are absolutely right. I simply haven't done it yet. I showed myself I could get to stage three without losing any lives; next I beat level 3 using all continues, then get better from there. Thanks for the pep talk, anon.

Like with everything in the game, it's all memorization. There's also a trick where if you headbut the Rat enough times, he DIES and you go to the boss of the level right away.
I have honestly beat Battletoads legitematly back in the day. A friend and I spent our entire fucking summer playing that game. Sleeping over at each other's place every weekend practically.

Though this is using warps. Before the issue of Nintendo Power came out featuring those cheats, we were chipping away at the Fire Zone. After the warps came out? Fuck that place and FUCK THE SNAKE PIT. It was my friend who had that level memorized. There were some levels we were just better at and left it to that person so they could master it rather than wasting lives with both of us trying to learn a stage.

That one was fucking awful. The absolute WORST was the last level; You shoot up the level vertically on a nearly unstoppable jetpack. Hitting the ceiling is akin to a one-hit death, and getting hit by the lasers that shoot around in the tunnels aren't much better.

It's pure fucking memorization, you can't even see far enough up the screen to tell where you're going.

No, but admittedly I haven't exactly tried that hard.
I played it for a bit. Eventually got to the last of the "race" sections in level 3 (I think), at which point it startsto run so fast it's almost physically impossible to move fast enough to dodge the walls. Even using savestates, I found it impossible to finish it without hitting the warp.

I might have continued playing it for the lulz after that, but frankly even before it gets retardedly difficult, the game is at best highly mediocre. It's like they couldn't decide on a playstyle and just made it a mishmash of different styles in different sections without even bothering to playtest it to make sure it was actually reasonably beatable.

I've seen speedrunners beat it, so I know it can be done, but considering how many actually good NES games there are, I don't see the point of wasting my time on this particular one.

The SNES version sounds kind of weird, very removed from the older chiptunish NES one. The Genesis version is more of a balance between those two types of extremes

Turbo Tunnel is purely memorization. Once you know it, you know it.

Oh you poor sod. You didn't know about warp zones? They make your life so much easier. But they won't skip you past Turbo Tunnel. Not before the very end of the stage.

Without warp zones I found that Fire Zone was a lot worse than Turbo Tunnel...

The real cockblocks in Battletoads are Rat Race, Clinger, and Garg Ducts. Queens Tower is not bad with patience, but those 3 are straight memorization blocks.

Clinger Winger and Rat Race are agony. Turbo Tunnel feels like a leisurely stroll in comparison.
