| - Battletoads also known as Battletoads Arcade or Super Battletoads, in Japan is the fifth and last game of the Battletoads series developed by Rare and published by Electronic Arts. It was released in 1994 for the arcade and maintains the beat-em-up gameplay similar to that from previous games. Up to three players, as the Battletoads, brawl aliens and mutant 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 signature attack, and as customary for the series, players can knock enemies towards the screen, breaking the fourth wall. Around the time of the its release, Rare moved on to developing arcade titles. Releasing the game in arcades gave the company more freedom, allowing them to add mature themes that Rare wouldn't have been able to add into the game otherwise. Rare took greater liberties with violence and gore in Battletoads Arcade since the product was not destined for home consoles. It was Rare's first game to use the 3D graphics technology that was implemented in Donkey Kong Country and Killer Instinct. Although the game playtested well and appeared financially viable, the publisher hesitated to release the game. A port for the Super NES was in production but canceled. The game received its console debut when it was emulated in the 2015 Rare Replay, a compilation of games from Rare's history for the Xbox One. A Rare employee reported that the game was unsuccessful in the arcades. An AllGame reviewer found that the game was true to the original's style and had better graphics but was still a let down. Retro Gamer has stated that the game is obscure now but had all the hallmarks of a Rare release. Rare Replay reviewers were surprised by the quality of the game and some considered it a highlight of the package. Battletoads Arcade remains the last entry in the Battletoads series.
