And in the penultimate stage, Zitz straps on a jet pack and flies high to the tip-top while avoiding barricades, laser beams, and enemies during the flight under a 99-second time limit. Stage six has Zitz rappelling down the bottomless chasm, dodging birds, spikes, and Saturn Toadtraps. Stage four has Zitz hitting the waves on a jet-ski, dodging logs and rafting Rats.
The speeder bike is armed with a laser cannon, allowing Zitz to shoot down incoming enemies and also battle Scuzz the Rat who appears piloting the Rat Rocket at the end, and must be shot down with extreme prejudice. In the second stage, Zitz must pilot a speeder bike through a deadly obstacle course. Vehicle stages also return in this game and put a stronger emphasis on memorisation and speed. In stage eight, Zitz must keep balance and avoid obstacles as he runs around circular platforms in which there's a pseudo 3D effect of running around the platforms. Stage five poses a foot-race in a zig-zagging path in which Zitz must escape from a constantly rolling Brain-Damage Boulder while minding the sudden turns and not stopping. In the third stage in the dark caverns of Armagedda, Zitz must use the vines to swing across large gaps. There are also many obstacles during the levels that involve skills outside of fighting. When fighting them, Zitz is capable of unleashing powerful Smash Hits to finish off weakened enemies, and there's also other "over-the-top" finishing combos that can also be found in this release. Zitz' mission begins on Armagedda's surface, where Psyko-Pigs and rat-piloted UFOs roam about to destroy intruders. This is also one of the two Battletoads games in which the 'Toads do not have to confront the Dark Queen herself, although she still taunts the player in cutscenes before the levels in a similar fashion to other games in the series.įrom the first stage, Zitz takes on some side-scrolling action levels resembling those found in the original game, with similar but improved graphics and enemies. However, there are many differences in the levels and they range in difficulty when encountering enemies or obstacles.Īlmost every stage finishes with a battle against a boss, including known boss characters in the series like General Slaughter, Scuzz, Big Blag, General Vermin and Robo-Manus, who is this game's final boss. As in the case of the original Battletoads, the Game Boy game is also notoriously difficult to beat, requiring fast reflexes, memorization of obstacles, and patience.
The gameplay is a mix of side-scrolling fighting and various vehicle races, ranking up to eight stages (nine if to also include the final showdown). Zitz is given three lives and three continues to complete the game, after which he must start over.
The player controls Zitz and it is only a single-player game.
