[New WR] Battletoads 2-player (100% 2p Category) No Shortcuts or Warps | Nintendo NES

Recently at Game & Geek Expo 2026 (Raleigh, NC) while hosting a MultiplayerLocal / Free Play Area with 4 friends, my friend David and I managed to improve the previous WR of 49:32 in this Battletoads speedrun category by almost 5 minutes, down to 44:41. This run does have a handful of deaths, but the huge improvement was a much smoother final 12th level, Deadly Tower. Some deaths in this final level can send you back almost 2 minutes each, so they're very costly. For the Audio -- I highly recommend NOT using headphones, since the NES captured single sided with its single audio port and I didn't have my spitter with me... while the venue sounds are in both ears. We live 4 hours apart, but are scheduled to be together again for another event (and attempt to lower this record) December 6th in Raleigh hosting another MultiplayerLocal / MPL.gg area, with a dozen or more screens for a bunch of multiplayer favorites. There will be more Top 10s coming up, one is in the works for Zelda: Ocarina of Time and another challenge video featuring Luigi in Super Mario World. Anyway, hope you enjoy the raw footage and overall run that we managed to get during a really fun weekend. If you want to see more about MPL.gg events, they're posted on the instagram. ****For anybody that didn’t know - Level 11 is broken on 2-player on NTSC, so player 2 has to hit continue after level 11 is beaten by player 1. As always, Thank You for watching!
