They were once ordinary joes, but a crazy turn of events has turned Morgan, Dave, and George into the Battletoads, bad bad and crazy dudes out to save an alternate universe from the Dark Queen and her nigh-invincible forces.
You can choose from any of the three Toads: Rash a lean and fast fighter, Zitz a smart and balanced toad, or Pimple a big, bad powerhouse. Each has his own fighting style as well as his own repertoire of big-time Smash Hits that will be used to eliminate enemies.
This game can appear to be just a beat-'em-up at first, but almost every level is different. Some levels are two and a half dimensional, like Double Dragon, and others are just two dimentional, giving you the ability to duck. One level has you hovering down a tunnel with a jet pack. On the last level, you ride in a hovering cruiser and fire at enemies with four different types of guns and a special weapon.
At various points in the stages, flies will appear. Just face them and attack, and your toad will snake out with his tongue and gobble them up to help regain lost health.

After you knock down an enemy, you can finish him off quickly if you walk up to him while hes down, then push down and attack. Your character will smash the enemy, or drill into his head, depending on which toad you are.

The game can be set up for two or three players by using a DIP switch. Stereo or Mono sound can also be selected through a DIP switch. A service switch can be wired from the JAMMA connector that allows you to change the game settings without using the DIP switches. For stereo sound, the other speaker is wired from JAMMA pin 11. The game can be set for blood or no blood by using a DIP switch.PBattletoads is one of the few arcade games to feature the TMS34020 CPU IRevolution XI is probably the only other to date. Also, it interestingly features the BSMT2000, a Data East digital sound chip used primarily in pinball machines.
The manual says that DIP switch 2 should be set on for stereo and off for mono, but this is backwards. If only one speaker is connected and DIP switch 2 is off, only half of the sounds will be heard.
