Battletoads Stage 3 Chasm "Turbo Tunnels" Nes

2008-10-20T05:03:00.000-07:00

When an avid 12 year old gamer says "You must be on speed to beat this stage" you know this stage is difficult. The map calls this stage "Chasm". Stage 3 is actually called Turbo Tunnels. It is split into two main parts. The first part is on foot and the second part is on bikes through Turbo Tunnel insanity. It's possible to warp to this stage from Stage 1 at the very beginning. The alternative is the Game Genie Code LAXAALAA. If the code begins you on a pause screen just press start button.

In the very last bike part there is a warp to Stage 5 on the 10th wall if you run head on into it. It's where it goes the fastest. Sometimes people hit it by sheer coincidence and warp not knowing it but the chances of that aren't likely. The best advice is don't blink or mess up at all.

Battletoads Stage 6 Karnath's Lair "Snake Pit" Nes

2008-10-19T14:28:00.001-07:00

Another difficult stage brought to you by Battletoads Nes. It's not as difficult as Stage 3 "The Turbo Tunnels" but it's still up there. The Game Genie code to start on this stage is TAXAALAA since heck who can get here. The code will usually take you to a pause screen so hit start to begin. The overall agreement is don't screw up and hit the spikes.

The name on the map states Snake Pit but below under level it's called Karnath's Lair. So technically it could be either name. The warp is located at the very beginning of the second area on the bottom right next to the floor of spikes. Don't hit the spikes when jumping but be quick. It takes you to Stage 8 Intruder Excluder. Finally Stage 6 was easier in future Famicom Battletoads release because of more flexible controls and lives.

Maniac Mansion Nes World Record

2008-10-19T05:17:00.000-07:00

This is a speed run of the Nes game Maniac Mansion in 9 minutes and 14 seconds. Note they didn't look through the telescope or put the hampster in the microwave *pause*... It's Tool Assisted.

The ending is something to behold no spoilers needed. This game was a jewel for the year 1987. Did I forget to mention it was made by Lucasfilm Games. Today known as LucasArts. All sequels were a disappointment needless to say. Enjoy!

Endless Attack "Maze of Death" Mega Man 9 Wii Ware

2008-10-16T10:41:00.000-07:00

This stage is said to be 3000 screens long off one health bar for Mega Man to survive. So it's impossible more or less. Save your power ups because it's the same loop with slight alterations. Restore Rush Jet primarily so you don't get in a pinch. The soundtrack is entitled "Maze of Death" fitting enough for the Endless Attack of Mega Man 9 Wii Ware. For 300 Wii Points or equivalence of 3 US Dollars. The Top 10 Mega Man 9 Endless Attack Players are featured as the best Supposedly...

Imagine trying this with Proto Man's vitality. Oh I forgot to mention you have to fight the same horrific boss fights in between every 30 stages. So you better remember all the bosses correct weaknesses (yeah that's the catch). All Specials are given from the start minus Beat, E Tanks, and other power ups of that variety. Good Luck on getting on the Top 10 Endless Attack list.

Also do not get the 1-up in the Heat Man (Mega Man 2) remake stage. The 1-up will kill you (knock Mega Man in the lava!). Remember there are no second chances in Endless Attack Mode. Shoot hornets at them if you want.

Note: You can not charge up your Mega Buster and you can not slide in original Mega Man fashion. This is the best way available for Mega Man veterans to test their skills on a worldwide scale. You would be surprised how far some people can make it. 100 screens... 200 screens.

See Proto Man Mode.

Proto Man Mode Mega Man 9 Wii Ware

2008-10-15T18:42:00.000-07:00

For 200 Wii Points you can download Proto Man Mode (Mega Man 9) Wii Ware. Proto Man has no story prior to Mega Man 9 but anyone that remembers Mega Man 3 can fill in the details. He was Dr. Light's first robot who disguised himself as Break Man in his encounters with Mega Man before the Wily stages (MM3). Here are some highlights of the rogue robot master in Mega Man 9 (Wii Ware).

Proto Man has less vitality than Mega Man in this remake and a slightly different arsenal of moves (including Rush). It's well worth the 2 dollars even if you beat the normal version of the game already. The overall consensus is Proto Man is more badass than Mega Man in any Capcom game.

See Endless Attack Mode.

Play Tetris (Game Boy) Level 9 Height 5 and Win!

2008-10-14T06:26:00.000-07:00

This feat can only be done by the best Game Boy players out there. Start up Tetris either on the classic grey Game Boy or computer emulator/rom (not condoned by us). Select Type-B Tetris mode. Now set it for Level 9 with a handicap height of 5. This is the hardest mode the Tetris Game Boy game has to offer. It is advised to start on a lower height to practice the speed. Once you think you are fast enough you can set it to the max. Play fast and turn correctly is all I can say. One mistake can end a great run. B-Type Mode is complete when you make 25 lines.

Title screen 1-player mode.

Select Level on the left and
Height on the right. Max it.

This is an average starting screen with 5 high.

If you beat it on max setting you get to see the full orchestra.

Also an ending with a rocket launch. How exciting!

This makes 9-5 seem a lot easier than it is. It could end up taking a few hours to a whole day completing. Unless you are a closet fan with both Tengen and Nintendo Tetris Nes copies. Well good luck on honing your Tetris skills.

Type-C music also took the cake in this game.

Heat Man's Stage Mega Man 2

2008-10-10T15:36:00.000-07:00

This is the most difficult of the first 8 boss stages followed second by Quick Man's stage. It is only difficult because of the disappearing blocks over lava then an endless pit. Never and I must repeat Never touch the lava unless you are momentarily invincible from getting hit. A player can complete Heat Man's stage after getting Bubble Lead from Bubble Man. It's recommended to do after you get Rush Jet if you aren't good with the disappearing blocks like in Mega Man 1. Here's Heat Man's stage.

Don't let him knock you into the lava.

Kind of tricky jumps right from the start.

These jumps shouldn't be that bad as long as your patient.

Similar to Ice Man's stage from the original.

Time the jumps right to proceed.

Don't bother with the crash walls.

The 1-up is more or less a trap to be stranded.

A giant robot walker blocks the path.

He has an easy pattern. Just jump over him and
fire walls to release an onslaught of Bubble Lead.

Heat Man can move across the screen in a fast skinny fire ball. Try to dodge or jump over it. Then try to hit an accurate Bubble Lead shot. It should not take more than 3-4 on either mode. Once you beat Heat Man you are rewarded with one of the strongest/coolest looking abilities in the game, The Atomic Fire. It can also be charged like a prehistoric charged Mega Buster except redish-orange.

Bubble Man's Stage Mega Man 2

2008-10-10T04:48:00.000-07:00

The only underwater stage out of the original 8 bosses in Mega Man 2. It's not the hardest water/underwater stage in the Mega Man series. Frog Man (Mega Man 4) and Wave Man (Mega Man 5) are more difficult.

The big frog spits out baby frogs.

Precise jumping. The platforms drop after a second or two.

The whale spits out several shrimp robots.

Jump through the opening without touching the spikes.

More frog machines. Don't bother with the baby frogs.

Crabs falling from the sky. Don't jump
when they're falling over an endless pit.

At the end of the stage you submerge again.

Bubble Man is the only underwater
boss fight with spikes on the ceiling.

Metal Man can be defeated easily with Metal Blade or the Mega Buster. There is not much to this boss fight besides not jumping high enough to touch the spikes. His bubbles are easy to avoid plus don't deal that much damage. Mega Man should not need any Energy Tanks for this fight save them. It's a stage most Mega Man veterans are already familiar.

Quick Man's Stage Mega Man 2

2008-10-09T20:55:00.000-07:00

After Flash Man you should usually fight Quick Man since his weakness is the Time-stopper ability. It is a difficult stage for the first few times but gets easier once you know better. Just be quick on the d-pad and jump button. There are 1-ups and E Tanks located in various locations of the stage.

Sometimes the power ups aren't worth losing a life for. Especially for the health and special icons. Drop and move as fast as you can. This really is not the stage to many any mistakes on. It's comparable to Heat Man's stage in difficulty. If you have never played this stage before you will see why. Enjoy Quick Man's stage.

Check your Rush Adapters to get the 1-up man.

Drop... fast.

Keep dropping try to stay right.

The rewards of taking the right path.

Who turned out the lights?

The torch robot keeps the room lit.

Once again maybe better not to get.

Encounter with a giant robot walker.

After enduring the stage you finally meet Quick Man.

If you didn't use the Time-Stopper during the stage use it now. He is tough fighting with the bare Mega Buster but sometimes you must make due. Make use of all Energy Tanks in this possibly long boss fight. Heck if this doesn't challenge you on normal try difficult. You will need the best of luck fighting Quick Man.

Crash Man's Stage Mega Man 2

2008-10-09T05:20:00.000-07:00

Crash Man's stage is perfect to do right after beating Air Man's stage since his only weakness is the Air Shooter. The stage is long between all the ladders, enemies and moving platforms. Later in the Wily stages those platforms will have solid objects plus the enemies. It becomes very tricky.

This might be the longest stage in the game just because of all the climbing. When climbing ladders use Metal Blades to hit enemies in an up-right and up-left direction. It becomes very useful so you don't get knock off. A positive note is there are no endless pits to lose a life at.

Ladders on the first two screens right off the bat.

A moving platform puzzle. Not as
difficult as the Dr. Wily stages later.

A more intricate path for the moving platform.
Shoot down the enemies so they don't hit you.

That doesn't scratch the surface for climbing yet.

As you watch it can from evening...

to starry night. Don't bother with the health icon.

Definitely needed for the fight with Crash Man.

A 1-up will come in handy as well.

Expect versatile moves and a lot of explosions
from Crash Man. His Crash Bombs can hurt a lot.

Use Air Shooter on him and he should be no problem. Don't waste the Air Shooter when you don't need to because it is very limited on how many times you can use it. When it runs out resort to the Mega Buster and the Energy Tank you found. Good Luck!

Air Man's Stage Mega Man 2

2008-10-08T17:20:00.000-07:00

Once you defeat Wood Man you can enter Air Man's stage. The only reason for that is because his main Achilles’ heel is the Leaf Shield. His stage can be a pain if you don't time the jumps correctly and waste lives falling because of careless mistakes. The best advice for this stage is to shoot the down enemies as soon as you see them or else they will knock you off the stage.

Lose a man easy by getting knocked
off the stage by a rising drill. Use edge.

Enemies come out where the drills are located and new
platforms don't appear until you're close enough. Above

Mega Man takes to the skies minus Rush Jet.

Shoot down other air riders.

A resting spot and technical halfway mark.

More crazy air contraptions.

Don't let the egg hatch or
you'll face these baby birds.

Air Man's attacks are like puzzles.
Find an opening in the Air Shooter.

Use the Leaf Shield gained by Wood Man on Air Man. Other than that use your Mega Buster, Energy Tanks and luck. His Air Shooter is one of the most difficult moves to avoid in the game but that also makes that a great move at your disposal. Except when you get the Air Shooter it's kind of watered down but still just as powerful. Practice his "Air Puzzle Shots" and you should have no problem defeating Air Man.

Wood Man's Stage Mega Man 2

2008-10-08T16:21:00.000-07:00

Wood Man's stage has a lot of enemies and can be lengthy if you don't know what your doing. Challenging between the bats, kangaroos, fire spitting dogs, monkeys and running birds especially so on the difficult setting. Metal Blade can be helpful on this stage with it's versatile range. With 2 men it should be no problem making it through this stage.

Bats reveal themselves when close enough.

Note the kangaroos jumping range.

Fire spitting dog can be tamed with Atomic Fire.

Bats and other enemies can knock you off ladders.

Even mechanical monkeys as well.

Weird positioned kangaroos. Jump over him.

Let them jump over you or you jump over them.

Leaves come raining down on his command.

To defeat Wood Man easily use Metal Blade or Atomic Fire. Metal Blade is more effective but Atomic Fire can be charged. Either way once you defeat him you receive Leaf Shield. It can be used defensively as a shield and offensively as a projectile.

Flash Man's Stage Mega Man 2

2008-10-08T13:41:00.000-07:00

Flash Man's stage is one of the most memorable Mega Man stages in the series. It doesn't have anything that stands out besides looking cool. It is an easy stage overall with a few Crash Bomb walls.

The walls alternate different colors.

Take the lower paths.

These robots have an arch shot.

Don't bother with the Crash Bomb walls.

One of Wily's giant robot walkers.

Jump over him and take the right fall.

A giant robot walker and Energy Tank at the end.

With the special ability - Time Stopper.
Freezing his opponents to shoot them.

He is weak to Metal Man's Metal Blade. If you don't have Metal Blade you could always go with the standard Mega Buster. Don't forget about stocked Energy Tanks.

Metal Man's Stage Mega Man 2

2008-10-08T11:37:00.000-07:00

This is intended to be the first stage of Mega Man with no prior abilities or Rush Adapters. Since there are a few opportunities to get Energy Tanks throughout the stage.

At the very beginning of the stage is an Energy Tank.

Spikes being lowered by machines.
Heavy Damage on Difficult setting.

Drills coming out of the floors and ceiling.

A needed Rush Adapter needed for a 1-up.

These are impossible to avoid. Shoot them down.

Another Rush Adapter needed for the E Tank.

Dodge the unpredictable spring machines.

Metal Man shoots a barrage of Metal Blades.
He can also change the direction of the floor.

Metal Man does not attack unless two
events. You attack him or come near him.

Metal Man is weak to the Mega Buster since it is designed to be the first Boss of the game. He is also weak slightly to Quick Boomerangs. This fight should not be that difficult. Once you win Mega Man is rewarded with the Metal Blade ability. It can be shot in different directions if held with up-right/up-left etc...

New Punch-Out! Game Wii Trailer

2008-10-07T14:34:00.000-07:00

The first released trailer features Glass Joe, Von Kaiser, and King Hippo. It's a new twist on an old game. Who knows maybe we'll see Mr. Dream as well. Here it is.

Same music as well. More trailers and information on Punch-Out! to come...

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out Dream Title Bout

2008-10-06T14:30:00.000-07:00

This is the final fight of the original version of Punch-Out. After you beat Super Macho Man you automatically proceed to this Dream Bout. He is exactly the same as Mr. Dream as far as moves, speed, and health. Other than that they are graphically different in sprites, pictures, and description text. If you made it this far without the password you show promise for this match. For everyone else the password is 007-373-5963. The final test of Mike Tyson's Punch-Out.

At the end of his contract Nintendo used Mr. Dream as his replacement. All around the time Mike Tyson lost the title to James Douglas. Nintendo could use no reference to him in any Street Fighter game as Balrog. In Japan switched from Mike Bison to M. Bison. One reason why Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! is worth more than Punch-Out!.

From Catskill New York.

Brace yourself.

"The strongest uppercut designed in the game."

With enough determination, practice,
and patients he will fall at least once.

He flashes before he punches.

By some miracle you manage to win.

You were tough, Mac!
I've never seen such
finger speed before."

To those of you who worked your way up from Glass Joe to Mike Tyson Congratulation on completely beating the classic video game Mike Tyson's Punch-Out.

At the end it tells your win-loss record.

Super Macho Man Punch-Out World Circuit Title Bout

2008-10-06T11:51:00.000-07:00

If you managed to defeat Mr. Sandman there are only two fights left. You must go toe to toe with World Title holder Super Macho Man. His appearance was so acclaimed in Punch-Out that he made a second in Super Punch-Out (still as World Title holder). In both games his normal punches and specials are devastating. There is no way to comprehend his strength/speed except by boxing him. Here is the second to last fight in the game.

From Hollywood, California.

Ranked stronger than Mr. Sandman and Soda Popinski.

Be extra careful as you only have 15 hearts to start.

Super Macho Man's standard uppercut.

His swinging punch special is as fast as powerful.

Later in the match his special has multiple punches.

Wait and dodge. Don't dodge early or it could be costly.

He keeps swinging specials.

Now win the Dream Bout next and join the elite.

The new W.V.B.A World Circuit Champion.

Enter either Mr. Dream or Mike Tyson.

Finally onto the Main Event of Punch-Out. The Legendary Dream Bout with Mr. Dream or Mike Tyson. They have the exact same moves except different pre-fight background and sprites (character images).

Mr. Sandman Punch-Out World Circuit

2008-10-06T05:28:00.000-07:00

After the warm up match with Don Flamenco you should be ready for a real fight. The next bout is against #1 ranked Mr. Sandman. He is equal in difficulty to Soda Popinski. Don't let that fool you because he has his own set of difficult to read moves. If you are struggling just replay the match and look for patterns/openings. Note he also appears in Super Punch-Out.

From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Raw power with average speed.

He looks like a maniac punching.

Dodge if you don't know to block high or low.

Another Sandman candid.

Mr. Sandman defenseless.

First and third uppercuts in combo.

Second uppercut in combo.

It won't be easy getting a KO.

Easier said than done TKO. "Not a Pushover."

After this fight Lil Mac will be ranked #1 for Super Macho Man's World Title. It's a difficult road ahead. Be sharp on your Nes controller/keyboard and you'll have a chance at World Title victory. To these elite Punch-Out players keep at it.

Don Flamenco Punch-Out World Circuit Rematch

2008-10-05T15:12:00.000-07:00

This is a match that is perplexing from the start. How did Don Flamenco beat Bald Bull and Soda Popinski to be ranked #2 for the World Circuit Title? It's more or less an easy match before Mr. Sandman. You'll need to give your fingers a break from the onslaught of fights before. Here's the World Circuit trained Don Flamenco.

Same song and dance as well as rose intro.

Don't stockpile stars. Use them effectively.

Don Flamenco gets winded.

Like before "TKO" Mario.

Finally moving onto the most difficult boxers Punch-Out has to offer (Mr. Sandman, Super Macho Man and Mike Tyson/Mr. Dream). Everything before now was just a warm up. Practice up and Good Luck making it through these fights starting with Mr. Sandman.

Bald Bull Punch-Out World Circuit Rematch

2008-10-05T14:49:00.000-07:00

If you managed to beat Soda Popinski you should have no problem with Bald Bull this time around. He still has the same weakness for his Bull Charge but can dish out and take more damage. This should be an easy match as long as you look for his pattern.

The only difference is you hold the Major Title.

Same amount of hearts as last time.

Get your uppercuts while you can.

Same moves as last fight but overall tougher.

Just dodge his Bull Charge like before.

Moving onto another rematch from the Major Circuit, Don Flamenco. He managed to move from the very bottom of the Major Circuit to #2 contender in the World Circuit. One of the unknown mysteries of Punch-Out. A lighter match to catch your breath.

Soda Popinski Punch-Out World Circuit

2008-10-05T06:20:00.000-07:00

After defeating Piston Honda for the second time you proceed to Soda Popinski ranked #4. He is one of the most difficult boxers with the amount of hearts given. Each of his standard uppercuts take away 3 hearts. So watch your hearts so you don't run out of stamina.

From Moscow, U.S.S.R.

An undeserved sense of accomplishment.

Quick powerful uppercuts.

Disoriented Soda Popinski.

Some Punch-Out fans think he's drinking a bottle.

Slowly knock away at his health.

A powerful connect.

Lil Mac turns pink when out of hearts.

"I'm gonna make you feel punch drunk!"

After a grueling battle a victor is decided.

If you managed to beat Soda Popinski you get a rematch with Bald Bull. Just like all other rematches it will prove more difficult overall. A Doc Mac quote "Dancin' like a fly, bite like a mosquito." Good Luck if you made it this stage of the game.

Piston Honda Punch-Out World Circuit Rematch

2008-10-04T15:43:00.000-07:00

After beating Bald Bull (Major Circuit Champion) and advancing to the World Circuit you will have to face Piston Honda again. He proves to be a lot more formidable than the Minor Circuit Title Bout. His special might prove devastating this time around. Here is a look at the Piston Honda rematch.

He was 26-1 last fight. That's a statement.

This time you only have 20 stamina hearts.

Duck/Dodge his special.

Got to stay quick on your feet.

He will fall within time guaranteed.

Moving up the World Circuit to next contender Soda Popinski. He will prove to be a most challenging adversary.

Bald Bull Punch-Out Major Circuit Title Bout

2008-10-04T12:48:00.001-07:00

If you managed to beat Great Tiger for the #1 contender position then you have earned the rights to fight Bald Bull. You must Rematch Bald Bull in the World Circuit later after Soda Popinski. He is a popular boxer that returned in Super Punch-Out. Here is the original Bald Bull.

Bald Bull from Istanbul, Turkey.

Lil Mac's first fight with Bald Bull.

Dodge quick left and rights.

Then get a quick hit when off guard.

He will start doing uppercuts eventually.

Hit combos when his eyes are flashing.

Don't take too many of his powerful attacks.

He should go down easily knowing his pattern.

Doc Mac hints at Bald Bull's weakness.

Bald Bull will jump back to the ropes.

He will then charge. Punch him low right before he punches.

"We have a new Major Circuit Champion!"

Now holding both Minor and Major Circuit Titles Lil Mac now moves onto fight Piston Honda in the World Circuit. Note that this fight with Piston Honda is slightly more difficult than in the Minor Circuit. Good Luck in all World Circuit matches!
