Meanwhile, on board the spaceship Vulture, Professor T. Bird and the Battletoads - Rash, Zitz and Pimple - are escorting the Princess Angelica back to her home planet, where her father, the Terran Emperor, awaits her safe arrival. Along the way, Pimple, the biggest Battletoad, takes Angelica out for a cruise in the Toadster to a nearby Leisure Station. Pimple and Angelica burn space, but the Dark Queen ambushes them before they can get there. Luckily, Pimple manages to send out a distress signal before the Toadster is gobbled up and carried away to Ragnarok's World, the Dark Queen's planet... So, there's the situation, 'toad: the Dark Queen's kidnapped the Princess Angelica and your best buddy Pimple - what're ya gonna do about it?! You're gonna get real MAD, that's what you're gonna do - and then you're gonna get EVEN! Professor Bird's gonna set you down on Ragnarok, but from there it's up to you. You've got a long way to go, 'toad, thru ice and fire and nightmares so terrible you don't even want to imagine 'em - thru a monstrous Gargantua and ultimately to the Tower of Shadows, where the Dark Queen awaits you. Have you got the guts, 'toad? We'll soon see, one way or another... --- [PAGE 3] CONTROLLING THE ACTION Up Down Left Right Double-click left or right to run and to access smash hits (along with Button B) Select = Select Players Start = Start Game/Pause Game Button A = Jump Button B = Action --- [PAGE 4] HOW TO PLAY As soon as the spaceship Vulture lowers the Battletoads down to Ragnarok's World, your 'toadally awesome rescue mission begins. So hit the ground running. Awaiting your arrival are endless canyons, dark holes, a terrifying tunnel, an arctic cavern, a scalding inferno and much more! Each filled with monstrous baddies and dangerous obstacles. --- [PAGE 5] Baddies are the Dark Queen's army of menacing villians, and they're gonna try and stop you from reaching the Tower of Shadows, where she holds Pimple and Angelica captive. Obstacles are the deadly weapons which she has carefully hidden to catch you completely off guard. Advancing to the next level requires defeating all of the baddies in your current level and avoiding all of the obstacles. --- [PAGE 6] But be careful, they like to hit back. And if you're hit too many times, you're as good as gone, 'toad! 'Cuz each Battletoad has a limited life span. Luckily, you have a series of mega-powerful punches, slams and kicks at your disposal, which only a Battletoad can activate. Also, certain objects may be picked up along the way and used as weapons. For a little extra energy, try munching on some nice, juicy flies. --- [PAGE 7] While most of your fighting will be done on 'toad-foot, certain levels require expert racing skills. In these areas, check out the high performance Speed Bike, Jet Turbo and Space Board! Once you finally reach the Tower of Shadows, the ultimate showdown begins. Here the Dark Queen will use every means possible to keep you from getting your hands on Pimple and Angelica. And the surprises she has in store are enough to make your green skin crawl. --- [PAGE 8] BADDIES *Dark Queen* - She commands her evil forces from the Tower of Shadows.

Don't let him get you cornered. --- [PAGE 10] *Boss Walker* - Stay out of sight or this witless Walker will cook your green but and send it leapin'. *Big Blag* - The undisputed chief of the Dark Queen's rodent army - first he's gonna GNASH ya, then he's gonna CHOMP ya, then he's gonna SPIT YOUSE OUT an' STOMP ya! *Psyko-Pigs* - Wielding battle axes, these swine will give you a major headache unless you make pork chops out of them first. *Sentry-Drones* - The experts at 'toad-termination.

Watch out for its beak, it packs one heck of a peck! --- [PAGE 12] *General Slaughter* - One of the Dark Queen's least intelligent commanders. He always uses his head, if only as a weapon.

Get ready for a vigorous game of dodge ball. *Spike Ball* - Revolving around the dreaded Tower of Shadows, this orb has been known to really stick-it to intruders. *Snotball* - You'll need more than a tissue to clean-up this goo since it clings to the roof and floor, waitin' to slime you. --- [PAGE 14] *Snowballs* - A blizzard that's guaranteed to send a cold shiver down your 'toad-spine. *Ice Spikes* - Unless you're fast on your green feet, these falling frozen daggers make you feel like a pin cushion. *Retro-Blasters* - Smash out of walls and fire lethal bolts of energy. Short-circuit them by using the BT Bashing Ball. *Electro Zap* - With 2,000 volts of 'toad-frying electricity between them, they glide across the screen at shocking speed. *Swellcheeks* - A rather windy individual guarding the Tower. Hang on, or you'll become a sky-divin' 'toad. --- [PAGE 15] Also featuring the following: *Logs* - Floating along the river at rapid speed, this treacherous timber can't wait to smash your Space Board and turn you into tiny 'toad-bits. *Whirlpools* - If these swift, swirlers suck you into their wake, your chances of survival will go right down the drain. *Spikeback* - Stumble onto their spike-covered armor and you'll surely get the point. *Mines* - Bob along the river, waiting to sink your chances of getting past. *Meteorites* - A storm of fiery rocks headed your way. Get that Jet Turbo movin'! *Missiles* - An explosive barrage that comes at you from all sides. Avoid them, or you're 'toadst. --- [PAGE 16] *Buzzball* - The only way to shake loose of this humongous ball of killer static cling is to out-leap it to the finish. *Shadow Clouds* - Lurking in the shadows of the awesome Tower, they roll in to put an end to your mission. *Electro-Gaps* - These electrifying little gaps between platforms can be a real shocker. --- [PAGE 17] Turbo Thwack Battletoad Butt Swingin' Size Thirteens BT Bashing Ball Jawbuster Nuclear Knuckles Kiss-My-Fist Big Bad Boot --- [PAGE 18] SCOREBOARD Lives are heartily highlighted.
