THE STORY

'TOADNAPPED!

While partying on Lost Vega, a deep-space leisure station,
the three Battletoads - Zitz, Rash and Pimple, get pleasantly
side-tracked by a Thallian Thorax Dancer. Unfortunately, the
dancer isn't what she appears to be - and soon reveals herself
as the evil Dark Queen!

The 'toads fight valiantly against overwhelming odds, but are
are eventually overpowered. Yet, all is not lost! Although Rash
and Pimple are taken prisoner, Zitz makes it to the Toadster
and burns space back to the Vulture and Professor T. Bird, the
Battletoads' mentor.

Rash and Pimple are taken away in the Gargantua to the planet
Armagedda, but luckily Zitz and the Professor are hot on their trail...

So, there's the situation, Zitz: the Dark Queen's 'toadnapped
your best buddies - 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 Armagedda, but from
then on it's up to you. You've got a long way to go, Zitz - into
caverns, across swamps and even through the belly of the
dreaded Wurm. And ultimately, of course, you're gonna have to
defeat the terrible, the towering, the truly 'toadsplatting
Robo-Manus mutant!

Have you got what it takes to be a bona-fide Battletoad? We'll
soon see, one way or another...

HOW TO PLAY

As soon as Zitz sets 'toadfoot on Armagedda, the awesome action
begins! There's no time for plannin' - just get your green hide motorvatin'!

Don't expect a friendly welcome on Armagedda - its eerie mountains,
dark chasms and stinkin' swamps are full of treacherous obstacles
and are crawling with the Dark Queen's mutant horde. Before you
can get to the Gargantua and re- lease Rash and Pimple, you're
gonna have to zap each beastly baddy and overcome every
troublesome trap they've set for you.

Luckily, you've got a 'toadally awesome arsenal at your disposal - a
cool, green head, a cornucopia of punches, slams and kicks! Couple
these with weapons picked up along the way and there's no excuse
for backin' down from the bad guys!

Although you're a real fast mover and your fist and feet'll get you
around most obstacles, on several levels you're gonna need-to-speed,
'toad - so jump on a Jet Ski, strap on a Jet Pack or leap on a Turbo
Wing and burn space to your buddies!

Once you've battled your way to the top of the Gargantua, you've
got a date with fate, 'toad - 'cuz the Robo-Manus mutant is headin'
straight for ya', and he's looking meaner than a Zilldan Brackvurst
with a toothache.

And that's mean, 'toad!

So, let's do it! Let's get mad an' bad an' crazy, 'toad - let's EAT!
