Battletoads 4 Player Race - Part 5
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- The battered and bruised players of the Battletoads race keep marching on towards their goal: The ability to turn off the game.
Apologies if NCS' footage seems a bit off compared to his commentary, his footage seems to be desyncing every episode. I've tried to hide it, but it might be a bit more noticeable this episode.

This drives me crazy because I can almost always beat the Rat Race in 3 tries or less now.
On my last playthrough, I beat it on the first try. I hate to brag, but why am I so good at Battletoads?? It's a really fun game
@NintendoCapriSun That's amazing!
@mrcoolj90 Wow! In 1 try? You must've played the game a lot to be that good. As for the game being fun...most casual gamers would say its not but I (who's also a casual gamer) think it varies from person to person. I've never played it and I don't think I ever will. I know I would be terrible and I just wouldn't have the patience for it.
Same here. It takes a lot of practice honestly. Once you know the tricks; and realize the game makes you auto sprint while racing; it becomes much easier to manage.
It's Terror Tubes that still trips me up; due to it's weird as hell spawns.
That's the sound of progress my friend...
17:00 Tim: I like Rat Race
Jon: Really? Never heard of someone liking it
Achievement unlocked: Stockholm Syndrome
Battletoads breaks people
I felt so bad for Jon watching him during this part and the last one, when he's been stuck on Clinger Winger for ages while everyone else struggles to make slight progress now and then. And then finally someone else beats the level before him for the ultimate gut punch. Oh Battletoads, you're such a cruel and twisted game, yet still so much fun to watch and suffer through.
@offbeatturok0 Each video has used the music from a game featuring the Battletoads.
Part 1 - Battletoads for NES (The game we're playing)
Part 2 - Battletoads & Double Dragon for SNES
Part 3 - Battletoads in Battlemaniacs for SNES
Part 4 - Super Battletoads for Arcade
Part 5 - Battletoads for Game Boy
Since I've pretty much covered every Battletoads game at this point, Part 6 might just be a mix tape of all the songs I've liked from the games.
I think Jon should've given himself another award. "Master of the Close Call" with the subtitle "So close…..". Because seriously, he gets so close to the end of a level without beating it at least three times.
Why does that matter? I was talking about achievements, not places.
That's okay, no problem. Have a great day!
I find it funny how Pcull44444 was able to get past Rat Race and Clinger Winger much faster than Jon, but as soon as he gets to The Revolution he loses all of that momentum and that he gained.
the tables turned
It's partly because he had no idea what to do, while Jon did. If they'd been on equal footing, I think Pcull might've won.
He did say he's not good at that stage, their abilities are about even otherwise
Literally, if Jon didn't get cheated out of his first win in this stage, this series would be one episode shorter.
Greeny55Five to be fair, that's a glitch normally found in the game. I wouldn't say that he was "cheated" because that implies it only happened to him.
That being said, it's shitty programming anyhow. I also feel like they might've continued the race for the other three if Jon finished earlier, to be fair.
I don't think you can call a glitch shitty programming, because it's 100% not intended to be there. But it is quite bad
That wasn't the only time Jon died at the very end of a level. Remember the third rat in Rat Race? Jon made it to the bomb and was winding up his kick but the rat still beat him by a split second. I feel bad really. Jon would've finished a lot earlier if it wasn't for Rat Race and Clinger-Winger.
"Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck"

Oh god, I should not be laughing this hard at 3 AM.
FUCKLETOADS!
How the hell did this get 30 likes, oh my god xD

At 97 likes now
It's happened, guys. This dumbass comment is now at the 100 like threshold. Un. Be. Lieveable.
If I counted correctly, there are 74 turns in Clinger Winger. THAT is absurd, considering you need to be nearly perfect.
Is it wrong for me to like games/levels of games like that?
jejeakle Not wrong, just seems a bit masochistic to me.
Not trying to be.
Yep, it's 74. DAS CRAZY.
World's Strongest Midget game designers back in the day, they really wanted people to do this with nothing but precision timing
3:09 I happened to be watching Proton Jon's screen then, and I had this great sense of empathy right then, even let out a little "No!" on his behalf.
And then I started laughing. Thank you, schadenfreude.
"Hear that sound?"
Havel The Rock "Thats a soul being killed."
"Damn it, it happened again!"
Man, every time I watch Jon in a Let's Play, I always wait for that "Screw you" moment that inevitably happens to him.
At 3:10 my immediate response is "THERE it is!"
I'm somewhat disappointed, that no one thought to follow up
"I hate my life" "I hate your life too" with
"If I had a life I'd hate it'
9:21 - 9:30
In all honesty, shoving Battletoads up your ass would probably be less painful than shoving it in your NES and playing it. It would certainly be over faster...
WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE!?
Man, clinger winger drives me up the wall
Booo....
...you should be ashamed of yourself for that one
You know, Tim actually has a really nice singing voice.
8:15 That achievement reminds me of a certain other video game moment...
"Hello! This is the part where I kill you!"
+Y'boi Jelly XX=20 I'm pretty sure
That part was *HILARIOUS*! XD
SkywardPrimeGalaxy I wish I could play Portal 2 again. Fucking cheap ass xbox 360 controllers.
@OneWithTheNight The character limit on the achievement made that one tricky to display, but that's supposed to point out who got death # 1000 between all four players, not that Jake had died 1000 times.
I come back to watch this series a few times a year since it came out. Never gets old. It'd be so fun if these 4 came back and ran it with no warps just to see how they've progressed as gamers in the years since.
25:33
PCull: "Back in my day, we didn't have infinite lives I FELL OFF"
I loved that. XD
Jon slips into second place but they are on the same level, I can't wait to see if he climbs back to the first spot. This is bringing back well... nightmares i would say fond memories but nothing about this game makes me look back in a happy way. Thanks for uploading these i look forward to more.
3:08 Jon's genuine anguish pains me every time
For the record, this is one of the most entertaining series of videos I have seen
"Fuck fuck fuck, fuck fuck! Fuck, fuck fuck fuck..."

Achievement Unlocked!

Silly Superjeenius, your suffering isn't boring. It's HILARIOUS!
Battletoads: the only game where you live in mortal fear because of a disco ball.
Every time I watch one of these videos, I get to the end and start screaming "No! Keep playing! Must watch more!!"
Keep it up. You guys are awesome.
It's been four years, but still: This looks like the US version, given that the US version is SUBSTANTIALLY harder than the JP version. It's almost crazy that anyone beat Clinger Winger because the speed is 1.5 times faster in the US version than the JP version, making it nearly impossible. If you wanna know the differences, go to The Cutting Room Floor's page on Battletoads.
Really? Never knew that. This may be one of the few times that the JP version is easier than the US version.
I know another instance with Donkey Kong Country's Blackout Basement.
+SoulHero7 As I understand it, Ninja Gaiden 3 is also harder in the western localization than the original Japanese version.
+SoulHero7 Castlevania 3: Dracula's Revenge is significantly harder in the US.
Yet they keep Super Mario Bros. 2 out of Westerners...
TTHIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SERIES IVE SEEN IN A WHILE
Anyone else find it weird that SuperJeenius has made the most progress in this game and race so far, and he is still in last place, considering he was the one that took the least amount of warps? Pretty weird.
But look at his death count compared to everyone else's... that says a lot about it too
The answer is snakes
I've always been interested in trying Battletoads, and not just for its notoriety. It's got the style of good ol' Rareware, not to mention a bunch of creative ideas going for it, as far as platformers go. But moments like having the end of Clinger Winger basically give Jon the middle finger make me think thrice before approaching it. It says something when the audience feels just as crushed by the game's sheer mercilessness, especially mere pixels from victory.
This is a game that plays you.
"muchos faros?" You mean 'many lighthouses?"
LOVE this 4 Player guys! Can't wait for episode 6.
Tim's so slow at catching on to game objectives/mechanics sometimes, bless his heart.
If Patrick is having this much trouble with the first segment of the revolution, I can't wait to see the rest of it!
13:49 "If it can be punched... Do it."
I lol'd at Tim not hitting the rat, then realised that he hasn't played this game before and can't see everyone's elses screen. A little part of me died in sympathy for him.
So by the end they each have a stage that fucked them over more than the others.
Jon's is Clinger-Winger
Patrick's is Revolution
Jake's is Snake Pit
And Tim's is Rat Race, if only because he didn't know he could hit the rat
It always makes me sad watching it again when Tim reaches the third rat because I know he makes no progress from then on JUST BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW HE HAD TO PUNCH AHH!!!
Biff Manly Also it's funny that Tim got screwed over by Rat Race even though he was the only one that "liked" the stage.
Obviously this doesn't include terra tubes, which EVERYONE struggled with for a good while... but Jake spent more time in intruder excluder than the snake pit (isn't it called karnath's lair or something like that...?) even though he had a brutal time with those snakes
Sometimes I have to skip back and re-watch and concentrate on a different persons screen. God we need more parts of this NOW!
Battletoads Episode 5: Of Duckies and Disco Balls
I love how SuperJeenius has more achievements than anyone. Who knew failing was so awesome? :D
Patrick understands?! Either he's insane or he's a bloody genius.
In memory of Super Jeenius's soul...
In memory of ProtonJon's soul...
In memory of PCull's sanity... Wait, that was nonexistant to begin with.
5:17
All right. Now to the right. That's right. Now back to the left again. That's right. Now to the right. That's right. Now back to the left again. That's right. Now to the right....WHAT!? -NCS
This part always gets me XD
Tim forgot his rights and his lefts, he held up his hands to see which one made the L and then he died
One of my favorite, if not my absolute fav, moment from this race! I always look forward to it, thank you for the timestamp :D
@@Cosplaybuddygiraffes No problem!
We don't watch you guys because you're funny or entertaining. We watch you guys because we like you as people. You're interesting, etc. It feels like hanging out. Ergo, this is not the worst video on youtube even slightly.
Water wheels? Well, they're these things that spin around and around... #BadPuns
Boo! **throws tomatoes**
That pun was nearly as *Terra* ble as Terra Tubes.
Tim came out pretty unscathed... he even did ANOTHER Battletoads race with Argon Matrix, which he won in less time than this race took. AND he enjoyed it! Either Stockholm Syndrome, or he's just an awesome exception to the Battletoads rule.
Am I the only one who thinks ProtonJon and SuperJeenius sound really similar?
Yes.
Michael Fucello Not as much as Superjeenius and Joshjepson.
@@dxg5659 But you knew that already
All five of these parts are just brilliant videos. Sadistically hilarious.
Gene Wilder is Willy Wonka
Johnny Depp is Willy Wonker
Almost done! Jon has some catching up to do if he wants to win....
23:40 My favorite part.
Listen closely for @NintendoCapriSun who says "And Patrick makes a COME BACK."
I know there are not many games as horrifically annoying at this, but please PLEASE do something like this again! The four of you are perfect together, bouncing your commentary off each other!
RIP Gene WIlder
Listening to epic songs + Battletoads = Mind blown with epicness
what does Patty say that Jake says he isnt allowed to say on the internet at roughly 24:00
Endar T. Sounds to me like he said, "Last night was so kinky." Not sure, though.
+dude071297 I think it was soapy
Ultimate Pielord Doesn't make sense. What about that can't you say on the internet?
All of it when you want to avoid fanfic sites
Oh last night was so beefy... still not sure if he was actually joking
I honestly can't get over the way that Tim says, "DUDE!!!!!!!"
What does Tim say at 8:33 before beat boxing?
Watching ProtonJon try to beat Clipper Winger is more nerve-racking than most Dexter season finales.
F*ck Counter: 192
Does that include the txt ones
Yes. And the ones with ed, and ing.
Achievement Unlocked:
*Fuck*
Fuck
oh yeah, WHATS THE SWEAR COUNTER!
It's over 9000!
OMG I BEAT CLINGER WINGER 1 TRY!!!!
OMG I BEAT BATTLETOADS 1 TRY!!!!
***** I'm sure.
LaserTrapGamer I'm saying that because it's highly improbable that he beat one of, if not the, hardest levels in the game.
No, I find it easy unless I'm the second player in which it is actually impossible to complete. It is fairly unlikely but not REALLY unlikely.
LaserTrapGamer Hmm. The way he said that definitely sounded fake, anyway.
I actually cheered out aloud when pcull passed Jon. I'm loving this lp.
I like how everyone went from happy to annoyed to frustrated to depressed to singing to more depressed.
@TheShepardSaga Yes, any damage you've done on bosses stay on the bosses when you die. The only time it doesn't is when you have to use a continue, so in the case of this race, it doesn't matter.
Jon I really like that you added achievement it makes everything more interesting :D
One thing I love about Patrick here. When all else fails.
.
.
Start beat-boxing to the invisible background music
Zitz (your character) runs automagically on Rat Race once the rat shows his face. That said, I can't help but snicker when they complain about "all the double-tapping."
I like how Tim didn't get rid of the bomb then next time he missed the kick xD I cracked up so hard!
For future reference, you DO NOT have to double tap on Rat Race. Your character will run automically as soon as the rat is fully spawned. Of course, you can run before this. Trust me, it saves your hands.
I'm cheering ProtonJon like I'm his coach while he is at the spinnywheel of death race.
subtle pieces in the music like the sudden jingle when pcull took the lead, make this even better :B
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! That song at 20:24 was really cool but I couldn't find it! I found it because of you!! THANK YOU!!
I'm pretty sure Jon has officially moved new Battletoads episodes to Tuesdays.
@OneWithTheNight I liked American Wasteland, but I never got around to finishing it. All I remember is rebuilding the park, and that's it.
As for the group achievements, I'd have liked to do more, but it can be tricky. As it was for the 1000 deaths achievement, I had to watch everyone's footage at the same time to see who died when, and this was after watching the video 4 times to get everyone's stats. That's 2 1/2 hours already (Three hours if you count in writing down everything).
Proton, you should give yourself another award for being in the same level for practically the entire video. XD This was great though. Now it's back to being a real race in the next vid.
i think 317k people disagree with jake about this being boring. if they only knew at the time of recording how many people were going to enjoy this i wonder if it would have made any difference or not.
I'm reasonably sure that, had SuperJeenius gotten the warp at the snake stage, he would have given Pcull and Jon a good edge in competition.
@BigMaij Well that sort of bothered me a bit. I thought I really bothered you. I was giving you props for keeping up with this. I tried and stopped around Video 4.
I feel so sorry for Proton Jon, being stuck there for so long and losing the lead when he should have been passed there ages ago. Sad times :(
Having played this game (And made a let's play response to this series) I feel every bit of pain these guys feel when they're losing.
This has been a close race guys, but I think I can predict a winner.
It looks like SuperJeenius has won the award for GREATEST RAGE.
@HyperSora80 No idea. Think it had something to do with the Skype call. I couldn't edit it out, so I had to leave it in.
dammit. jon added this to a playlist, and it showed up in my subs box.
i was all pumped thinking the new part was out :(
Hear that sound?
That's a soul being killed.
The set up to that was a classic ProtonJon moment.
S.J: "Feel Jon's pain, he's been on Clinger Winger for EVER"
Jon: "Not any more mother f***** "
I cant be on the only one who thought that was the best part. (Besides the singing)
5:17 Tim being blindsided right near the end is another great moment.
28:19 Patrick expecting a checkpoint and not getting one.
@therogerempire I was going to claim that the amount of videos he's uploaded doesn't have anything to do with his right to question a sporadic upload schedule... But then I realized that you're right. Anyone who's made at least one video would know that it doesn't take 45 seconds to produce half an hour of content, so your point is valid!
Wait, the next one is the finale?
THANK YOU!!!! MY HAND IS CRAMPING UP FROM ALL THESE TALLY MARKS!
Part 5 Sayings Counters:
SJ: 77 F***s, 14 Whats, 57 Ohs, 11 Shits, 57 Nos
PC4: 111 F***s (Achievements Off the Air: Too Much for UA-cam, From The Top: Get 111 in a Stat), 25 Whats, 215 Ohs (Achievement I am O: 200+ Makes Me So), 82 Shits, 107 Nos
NCS: 9 F***s, 19 Whats, 21 Shits, 50 Nos
PJ: 17 F***s, 15 Whats, 20 Ohs, 14 Shits, 42 Nos
Only one more and then it's over!
Ooooooooo NintendoCapriSun with the Earthbound reference
I don't know why but I find it funny how Pcull said Kylie Minogue.
That moment when you start to realize Tim's not punching the Rat on Rat Race.
@rickhh1 Okay, yeah, I misread that. Thought he was referring to PCULL getting it and not me. I'd be getting the achievement when I start the stage and PCULL dies.
"At this point I don't know whether I'm happy or sad you didn't pull it off."
Battletoads. Kills all of your emotions except anger.
@ProtonJonSA Sadly, some people don't get how much work goes into a video... in particular one like this (where you are watching each video for statting purposes, likely several times each for accuracy). We who know how much work it takes appreciate the extra effort when we see it, well done sir!
@Spyrothedragon4 This series was recorded a long time ago, and we can't see each other's screens, so we all have no idea that Tim isn't attacking the rat.
I wonder if 3:08 or the Kaizo Trap destroyed more of Jon's soul?
@World1Level2 As it stands though, Tim actually got the most achievements this episode.
this is not boring at all, best shti ever
I like how ClingerWinger is so hard beating it is an achievement
@OneWithTheNight When you get to that point, everything kind of starts to blur together. That's how I ended up missing achievements last episode.
oh got the ending was so awesome, it got so intense. Who will win, find out next time on another exciting episode of Battletoads 4 Player Race :D
