When I was a kid I went to my neighbor's house all the time to play this on his genesis. I remember the game being incredibly hard. I don't think we ever got past the 3rd level before we ran out of lives. I usually played as Pimple. He usually played as one of the double dragon characters.
I must've played through the NES version about a hundred times by now, and I really dig the soundtrack; David Wise had some great tunes on the system. This takes things in a very different direction, and it's great, too!
oh man i played this game for hours and hours and hours... one of best games and best soundtracks. man i miss being a kid, i used to play so many games and not worry about anything
AVGN Season 4 Jaguar episode brought me here. I played the hell outta the SNES version and recognized the song, but I had no idea they put the game on Genesis, too. The music is so different.
This is one of my favorite games of all-time. It's one of the rare games to be released on NES, SNES and Sega. It was the last game I got for NES before they stopped making them. The NES version is definitely the hardest of the 3 and was the perfect game for me to end that system with. I think the Sega version is the best version all the way around - music, graphics, gameplay. As in most cases, the Sega version had gritty, dark graphics and heavier sounding music whereas the SNES version sounded too polished and looked bright and cartoonish. It's kinda like Beavis & Butt-Head for Sega and SNES: the Sega version looked more like the first 2 seasons whereas SNES looked more like season 3 forward. The SNES version is by far the easiest of the 3.
1:40 You can see the nuances of David Wise's musical style, it's got the same key signature and vibe as the character screen tune he made for WWF Wrestlemania Challenge
Everyone seem to prefer the SNES version when it comes to the soundtrack! i definately prefer the genesis version! it reminds me of Rock n Roll racing for the Genesis.
It really depends on the song. I like the introduction and stage 2 a bit better on the gens, and I like stage 5 better on the SNES. Stage 1 and 3 sound good on both imo.
@Trapster2 Yeah I'm not sure why the drums in this are so flat, Genesis clearly had great drum capabilities like as you mentioned in Sonic. It's the only thing lacking in this otherwise great soundtrack.
benjamin zuniga carreno Even then, FM is capable of more, like Thunder Force 4. The drums sound like they're emulating the NES noise channel, which might be the case if it used the same sound driver from the Snake Rattle n Roll port. Besides, Sonic doesn't really have good PCM drum quality as let's say... Alien 3 or Mortal Kombat.
Impressionante como ainda tem quem prefira o som (abafado e porcamente digitalizado) do SNES! Mega Drive/Genesis só peca um pouco na digitalização de vozes, mas no resto, torna qualquer jogo muito mais instigante de jogar. Foda!!
A soundtrack da versão do Snes humilha essa do Mega Drive. Não adianta nada não soar abafado se o som é pior. Credo, essas batidas estridentes parecendo arame estragam tudo.
The aesthetic of this battletoads soundtrack is a lot more interesting than the other Battletoads game on the Genesis imo; it really sounds like Rare themselves were using in-house sound tech for their game instead of SMPS like they were using in OG Battletoads
Yeah same here. Though to be fair, this game uses a custom sound driver and whoever programmed it didn't do such a good job IMO. Makes me wonder why they didn't just use the sound driver they used in the original Battletoads, David Wise could have made better sounding music if he had better tools to do so.
@@sonikku1011 David Wise made it. It was likely meant for the Snake Rattle n Roll port, which did a great job translating the NES soundtrack over. The patches here are likely leftovers from that game and are this time translating a SNES OST, where it's not doing as well
Actually, I wonder if this game uses the same sound driver from that Snake Rattle n Roll Mega Drive port, which explains the drums sounding like they're emulating the NES noise channel.
Love this game. Still wonder how could they let it pass with all the cruelty going on in the game x3 Genesis was much more allowing in this, but the same game was released on NES! I was stunned.
I know this video is several years old, but I think that unused track listed is the game over theme that plays when you choose not to continue. It's been ages since I played the game though, so I could be remembering it wrongly.
I wish the snare drum on this soundtrack was replaced with the snare sample sound from either the Fatal Fury or Robo vs. Terminator. This snare sounds like a dry paint brush was used in place of an actual drum stick to play the kit.
Sad that the music doesn't sound as good as the super nes version. What confused me is that Yuzo Koshiro figured out how to make the music sound soo good on the genesis in his games streets of rage, revenge of shinobi and so forth. Other composers couldn't do the same for it.
The Drums in this version are pathetic compared to what the Genesis is capable of (Even FM wise) I guess Dave didnt have full mastery of the soundchip as he did with SNES cause his SNES OSTs are phenomenal
***** I havent actually played the game, i'm not talking about gameplay bro, purely from an Audio perspective. The instruments are actually quite good in this version, it doesnt seem to use the Generic GEMS sound driver that alot of western Genesis games use. The drums/Percussion are very weak in this game and could definately be better. See games like Gauntlet IV and Two Crude Dudes to see what I mean when it comes to good FM drum samples.
***** Yeah I think the SNES got the better soundtrack overall on this one but that's not enough to keep me from uploading it :) I think this soundtrack would have been better with PCM drums.
DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL I'm glad that you did, the more I listen to it the more I'm warming to it. Its just frustrating when something as minor as instrument choice holds a soundtrack back, in this case its feeble and tinny drums. But I do still like it lol. Hope I didnt offend any battle toaders with my critique :)
You can definitely still tell it's David Wise though. I think that's why it's a jazzier sounding soundtrack than the SNES--to compensate for those tinny, brushy drums.
Inside the Ship got butchered compared to the NES and SNES versions. This soundtrack feels like Wise in general didn't know what to do without the limitations of the NES or the instrumentation of the SNES. Those poor drums...
***** Open Space's drums are so dominant though the song has a very different feel. More driven compared to the SNES version, that focuses more on how vast space is.
***** Open Space's drums are so dominant though the song has a very different feel. More driven compared to the SNES version, that focuses more on how vast space is.
***** I respectfully disagree! Well I definitely agree the SNES got the better treatment overall, I think Inside the Ship / Roper, the brushier thinner drums actually work pretty well. But to each his own!
+Chad Serrant But Genesis battletoads which came out a few years before this had fine percussion i just think he didn't try at all to program powerful drums as he has shown to be able to do on Genesis hardware in the past.
+E Oyibo (edge) It's likely that the original Battletoads' soundtrack was ported by a Japanese dev, rather than being programmed by Wise himself, as it uses the SMPS sound engine which seemed to be exclusively used by Japanese developers. *Edited to add:* Former Sega developer Hikoshi Hashimoto takes credit for sound programming in the Genesis version of Battletoads on his personal web site (hikoshi.sakura.ne.jp/prof/).
+DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL Ive got an unmodded Model 1 and i like the sounds just fine. If just use a mod chip for these, i might as well listen to an emulated Genesis with all the enhancements.

This needs to be in Rare Replay!
Mackenzie Dinkins Agreed.
It's a shame it wasn't. For me this is my most nostalgic childhood rare game.

Is that a compliment or...
Fun fact:
Man, who made music for Rock n Roll racing also recorded music for Spider Man Maximum carnage. Sounds good.
Me too, it sounds much more cool and badass.
Which was also vastly superior on SNES, as well.
Its not some of the best tunes the Genesis has put out. Its aight though.
I like this music to much I listen to it from SNES, genesis , and some remixes

David wise kicks ass
I was drawing characters on a classes in a school with a friend ^^
Omg this sounds amazing! Idk why but the SEGA version definitely stands out to be the best sounding! 😍😎
I agree. The snes guitar sound gets old. Genesis is more gritty and catchy.

Genesis version is way superior over the SNES synthetizer, there is no space to discuss about. Ratship at 14:36 is the major proof.
