It was subsequently ported to the Mega Drive, Game Gear, and Amiga CD32, and released with some changes for the Game Boy in 1993 in the form of Battletoads in Ragnarok's World. In the game, three space humanoid toad warriors are known as the Battletoads - Rash and Zitz - embark on a mission to defeat the evil Dark Queen on her planet and rescue their kidnapped friends, Pimple, and Princess Angelica.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Great graphics for 1991.
 * 2) Challenging levels with tons of variety.
 * 3) The toads can attack plenty of foes in the beat 'em up levels, using weapons as well as beating them up the old fashioned way.
 * 4) Cartoony details, such as the Toads' faces when they are shocked.
 * 5) Great soundtrack.
 * 6) The game is one of the first few video games to have a female antagonist.
 * 7) The Genesis version offers improved graphics thanks to the 16-bit hardware, as well as better music and controls.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The difficulty is way too unforgiving, and may sometimes be due to poor level design.
 * 2) You and the second player in multiplayer share continues, forcing you to use them sparingly. You can also harm each other.
 * 3) The NES version suffers from poor controls and sluggish movements.
 * 4) The Amiga CD32 port is awful.
 * 5) The game gear port missing some levels.
