History YMMV / Battletoads

** From the genesis version, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ni_GAnlYO4&feature=related Ragnarok's Canyon]].

* ThatOneLevel: The most infamous level is the Turbo Tunnel, the third stage of the game, which is when the difficulty goes through the roof. Of course, once you finally manage to get through it, some of the later stages turn out to be be ''[[ItGotWorse even harder]]''. Another major (but less-known due to it being so far in the game) level is ''Clinger-Winger'', level 11. It qualifies for two reasons: First, due to a bug, it is ''impossible'' to win when playing two players in the NTSC NES release (it was fixed in the PAL NES release as well as in the Genesis remake), meaning it is impossible to win the game unless you're playing solo (or wait for the other player to lose all their lives so you can continue on by yourself). The other reason is that it's essentially the aforementioned Turbo Tunnel (there is very little room for error), only made ''even harder'', with absolutely no check points to boot. Oh, and you have to fight a boss at the end. Fortunately, they don't make you go all the way back to the beginning if you die to the boss.

* LesYay: Some viewers found a strong homoerotic subtext the scene where the Dark Queen grabs Princess Angelica, who tries to tries to push her away even though the Dark Queen is grabbing her closer.

* Earworm: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoR8OlXXiZA The pause music from the NES game.]]

** When someone on [[ImageBoards 4Chan]] asks for the name of an anime, the common response is a combination of BokuNoPico, BibleBlack, and {{Battletoads}}, leading to such titles as Boku no Bibletoads.

** [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes The Snake Level]]. Giant snakes come out of the tunnels in the level, and you need them to climb to the top of each portion of the stage to advance. It becomes [[HarderThanHard stupidly hard]], even with a {{guide|DangIt}}, because in the later segments you must drop from one snake to the next, and it must be timed perfectly or you will miss the next snake and land either on SpikesOfDoom or into a {{Bottomless Pit|s}} (I can't remember which).

* ExcusePlot: SaveThePrincess and its variations amount to what resembles plot in these games. Not that what plot there is particularly matters much.

* PortingDisaster: The {{Amiga}} version and its CD 32 offshot, though the remixed music of the later is pretty kickin'.

* FetishFuel: Most of the characters, both in their [[FurryFandom species]] and in their ([[{{Stripperiffic}} sort of]]) [[HellBentForLeather outfits]].
