How this amazing effect in Battletoads on the NES was created: The Battletoads cartridge has a special memory that lets the game change the graphics of individual tiles while you’re playing. For the purple vertical stripes, it only needs a few simple tiles. Every frame (or every other frame),... show more

Too bad no one ever made it this far to see it 😆

Is really close the end

looks like Nebulus

It's a bit opposite of "special chip". the cartridge is very barebones, using a glue logic chip as a mapper and 8KB RAM instead of a fancy MMC3 with a big VROM chip It's NES programming on very hard, but the programmers were monsters, doing things like atari like CPU cycle timing

Well you are professional about it ! 😮

I did wrote an NES emulator once, and battletoads was a challenge to run It requires the CPU and PPU timing to be PERFECT or it will just hang as soon you get to the first level. It does a lot of MMC3 like-effects without the MMC3, just using precise timing for everything

Sisu, you don't know how many frustrating child nights I've had trying to beat this pain in the ASS 😅. Even pulled out the game genie too 😅 . But did Finnish it 😅

I know the game is terrible pain 😂

This generation will never know 😅

This game!!! this motherf...er game!! I have PTSD! haha

Sorry I hope you enjoy the science haha

Rare just sold their souls to the Devil and one day he came to collect, which is why they're now on Microsoft 😂

Very impressive for the hardware limitations back then. Too bad not many people have made it far enough to see it due to how brutally difficult the game as a whole is. Seriously, the turbo tunnel & the rat race are the worst parts. 😱

the battletoads remake on xbox one sucked to me it didnt have the charm of the gensis and nes versions

In the '80s we had Nebulus.

The texhnique is known as Color Cyling, or Palette Cyclying. Heres a documentary on how it works 👍💖 Amazing technique forever

Oh very nice mr drum!

Yep great game

Tougher than a $3.00 steak haha

I enjoyed it on the mega drive. good times

See the previous game experience Nebulus or Tower Toppler. Very early version of essentially the same effect. Very cool.

Love this breakdown. The way Battletoads gets those moving purple stripes out of a handful of tiles is such a clever use of the NES hardware. Thanks for showing how it works!

Yes is very interesting!

I saw Link here. Whatś doing Link here? But its toad. Too much ocarina today ....

Battletoads was one of the first games I ever played that had the double tap dash function. Then you can headbutt. That first Battletoads was one of the best games ever. Super hard, but so fun once you get the hang of it.

Pretty insane that they hid this on a level 99% will never reach.

When I could finish this game as a kid, I was the king of the hill for a while hahaha. Lots of muscular memory and subsecond-latency-reaction to beat it!

We all lament how hard this game is, but yeah, really fun and a technical masterpiece for the time.

I am sure some one probably make the easier hack 😂

It's absolutely magic what they were able to accomplish with the graphics back then.

Challenging, creative, & one mean son ov va bi@%#. Loved the variety in levels. Limits on hardware really forced makers to push creativity to next super level. Jet level was the hardest. You can hit bounce birds in 2nd level over & over to load on lives. help to maybe survive

Classic

I love this game but it is os hard in coop

This level used to drive me nuts

That's really dope

Great game 🙂❤️

They did the same thing with those rotating tower rooms in Kirby's Adventure.
