The original Battletoads Bible.

Are you kidding us? Scan that! PDF now! 😅

🤫

I need to see every page of this thing. that's amazing.

Ok!

Out of curiosity, did Killer Instinct get the same treatment?

OUTASIGHT!!!! That is so cool Kev!!! What are the chances of this being available in some form in print? I understand if it's not a possibility but wow that would be awesome! Thanks for sharing! TOADS RULE!

I doubt it !

This (Rash) was one of the coolest Character adds to the new Killer Instinct.

It looks like they forgot to deliver this extremely important book to Dlala Studios and Rare Limited. 😒

There are a couple of pages at the back which refer to it, but its history and I think the book really wanted to focus more on the new style.

I really wish they used this kind of art for the 2020 game...

More of this please! You can't get a better a history lesson than direct from the people who were around at the time!

Ok!

@dantemendes More please! :-) Thanks so much for these insights!

@yalltitanup Omg amazing . My favorite game ever

@yalltitanup Really! You must love a hard time!

Rare Replay was my first exposure to the classic Battletoads, and your intention to design the 'Toads to be badass fun dudes translated to the games perfectly, Kev. Lanky webbed fingers crossed you visit the baddies next! 🐀👸🏻🐗

@St1ka @MattMcMuscles

The gaming for my childhood was great because of these games... (my favorite being snes)... thank you for this! 🤝

You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed them!

@NinjaTanooki @GaladriustheM

this is fucken awesome

I totally forgot about the Ultimate Warrior! Also cool that all 3 actors that provided inspiration are Canadians ;)

I got to meet him at a CES show when I was working on the wrestling games. He was super cool. I also met Andre the giant!

So awesome!

Podouken Podcast did a Battletoads episode not long ago. You should give it a listen! They believe in preservation

Thank you!

Absolute pleasure! Fantastic game

@DirdeeD

This is sooo cool to see! I loved the old Battletoads games and was so disappointed at the new one and its terrible art style. We need a reboot with THIS art style and music by David Wise!

That would be SALAMANDOS then! 😉

Battletoads was incredibly hard but very fun.

🥲

So Rash is a mix of the ultimate warrior and bruce lee

👍👍

@dantemendes @RetroCoreYakumo

The weapons were so cool!

this is insane, I painted tshirts of your designs when i was kid

Really? Wow! Cool!!!

I definitely want to see more especially now that I know you designed the Donkey Kong I've known up until Bananza.

❤️❤️❤️🙏

Any hope to see scans? Concept art?

Have some concepts but no scans just video

@dantemendes Give us more!

Awesome

Toadally!

Would you show us the materials about the Dark Queen?

Yes I will!

Preservation of retro gaming related materials is an important aspect. May your creativity and resourcefulness be praised.

the COOLEST

I love it!

This is dope and insightful

Oh my God, are there more guides like this for other games?

There were, but only a few copies made. We had several projects in binders like this - Flipside, WARHOGS, and Johnny Blastoff / Kremling Armada!
