Battletoads' SatAM flavors and chex mix in a game with sober difficulty, little filler and - uh, Bimmy and Jimmy are here too. Unironically their best game.

Cutting the insane bullshit out of the formula reveals how barebones the core Battletoads experience is, but the game's fun and smooth enough for that to be fine. Dash-attacking enemies in the face is still satisfying, and the gimmick sections are surprisingly fun pace-breakers. Everyone hates the asteroids section, but I liked it. Why does it do the Rayforce lock-on thing?

Killer soundtrack too - not a surprise for BT of course. More rock than the original game but not as heavy as the grungy metal of the arcade; I think it's the franchise's perfect sweet spot. All three versions of the soundtrack are equally solid, too.
