Battletoads

Up to three players fight as Battletoads with aliens and mutated rodents through six levels to save the universe from the Dark Queen. The game also includes vertical and bonus levels. Each Toad has its own special attack and, as is usual in the series, players can push their opponents onto the screen to break through the fourth wall. As Battletoads Arcade was not intended for home consoles, Rare took more liberties with violence and bloodshed. It was the first game from Rare to use the 3D graphics technology previously used in Donkey Kong Country and Killer Instinct. Although the game played well and seemed financially viable, the publisher was reluctant to release it. A port for the Super Nintendo was in the works, but was canceled. The game made its console debut in 2015 when it was emulated for the Xbox One in Rare Replay, a compilation of games from Rare's history.
