Bootsy Beats... Battletoads (NES) Part 1

[@skipsch]

I miss this series so much

[@FoxFromMars]

This guy deserved better.

[@Aelvir114]

He did.

[@teckworks]

I have to say...Bootsy Beats sounds like a pretty slick DJ name.

[@luxinterna3370]

I miss you dude.

[@SapSapirot]

In a genre that is saturated with Microsoft movie maker, alien logic and toaster microphones this is truely a joy to watch. Honestly one of the most professional and enjoyable walkthroughs i have ever watched. Keep up the good work!

[@lts_Bubba]

8 years later.....

[@brianoates2032]

I like how he says we'll continue this at a later date but has the same clothes and hat in all the videos.

[@alex-roe]

Bootsy Beats works great with the Battletoads pause music! Bootsy-Bootsy-Boot-sy-sy-sy Beats-Beats-Beat-sy-sy-sy

[@felyrion8030]

Alex Roe Remix please ;)

[@WildBassfly]

Alex Roe I could eat a nob a night.

[@ParanoeX]

Alex Roe somehow i hear that "boots-boots-boots-ch-ch-ch" in my head :p

[@Drak3nroar]

Holy shit it blew my mind

[@FizzleFX]

Alex Roe 7:15 USE A FAN! AVGN did it... increases skillz!

[@MrJpowell33]

I'm so excited to see Bootsy getting his own segment in the Cinemassacre universe. Loved seeing him play once in a while one "James and Mike Monday's". It always reminds me of my friends and I when we play retro games. Thanks a lot for all the entertaining content guys!

[@Feelin_DanDy]

I beat this game for the first time today legit, happiest day of my life! Bootsy, you gave me the confidence from your playthrough with James & Mike to do it and I succeeded :D

[@jasonbrown4526]

Ness Kirby If only I knew about the warps when I was a kid, my friends and I could have beaten this game.

[@Feelin_DanDy]

I still have never used warps yet, maybe I should do a run using them.

[@PapunaOfficial]

Jason Brown nope. racing with ball is almost impossible too

[@CartoonCentral4]

One of the best Cinemassacre videos. Great hat too.

[@endersdragon34]

He lost me at "Believe me if I can beat this you can too" sorry Bootsy... I have seen too many videos with you to believe that... still kept watching though lol

[@masonanglin4443]

Bryan G ikr, thats the only thing i didn't like about the video. he's too humble lol

[@munchnEl]

He beat it on james and mike mondays

[@jasonbrown4526]

Bryan G I'm not sure if everyone can beat this game. Some sections take extremely good precision, such as the last part of Turbo Tunnel. There are also some stages that are very frustrating, like the rat race. This game tests people both physically and mentally. You don't just win at Battletoads, you have to practice.

[@JackTheripper911]

Mason Anglin well being humble is much better than being an egotistical punk bitch. "If i can do it. You probably fucking cant because im actually good at times" would you rather hear that?

[@apcreed]

Mason Anglin Makes a nice change having a polite person to watch.

[@squifurgie]

It's about fucking time that Bootsy did a series like this. His mellow yet thoughtful way of talking is a really good touch because it ensures that you are actually listening to every word he say, which is important since Bootsy will almost exclusively be covering very difficult games.

[@NerdOutWithMe]

Well done, my good man. Looking forward to Part 2.

[@StrangeDad]

I liked this. As a walkthrough-host, you kept it calm, collected and concise. Great voice for this sort of thing! You don't want a person with a high-pitch squeeky voice, who's trying to be funny all the time, when you just want to get through a game. :) Great work!

[@ItsaDogandGame]

impressive bongo work!

[@brycea5452]

Didn't think I'd see you here! Great job on the videos man.

[@rustyvent]

ItsaDogandGame Dude! Nice seeing you here! Love ur vids

[@miguelonucr]

ItsaDogandGame Reference to Bongo Bongo from LoZ OoT, at least in my mind it is, hehe...

[@Davidovar34]

miguelonucr In my mind it was a reference to Donkey Konga, lol

[@miguelonucr]

+Davidovar34 Haha, yeah that too!

[@wortel6]

Thank you Bootsy, i really like the way you take me trough this game. Nice and calm. Can't wait for the next episode!

[@MikeyTaylorGaming]

This is one of the best Ideas for a segment i've ever, ever seen. Bootsy is THE shit, he's definitely got the comedic values down and man, his abilities in music making are amazing!

[@killerspinach8256]

This is like watching Bob Ross.

[@michalmarek77]

I hope that "Bootsy beats" will be frequent here! Bootsy you ROCK! Excellent video!

[@Creepstix98]

This was insanely calming to watch and I hope they make more

[@cool140000]

Man I love the graphics of this game. The exaggerated attacks, big goofy smile, how they pancake when squashed, and over the top expressions of shock are all awesome. Of course the pseudeo 3D in the last stage is awesome looking too.

[@ernestoa.jimenez3206]

Best Cinemassacre idea in years!!! I've always loved Bootsy and his bad-ass retro-gaming skills. Really enjoyed the video and hope to see many more.

[@MisogiProductions]

I'm never a fan of walkthroughs on video games because they are considerably boring to watch and ruin the game experience, but Bootsy makes it entertaining and actually breaks down the game's mechanics really well. Maybe one day I will beat Battletoads with this guides help. I'm also glad that Cinemassacre as a whole is expanding by giving itself more shows to watch. Thanks for being one of my favorite channels on KZbin.

[@MrLilac]

About time you got a show Bootsy! Loved this and can't wait to see more!

[@silentaswang9968]

This is really nice actually, it's hard to believe it's not all common on KZbin. The concept of teaching nice stuff about a game and how to try to get better at it and beat it, I don't know how there are not many people doing this.

[@BATTIS94]

I love how this channel always try new ideas, new series. They keep doing new things and I appreciate it.

[@PhatsMahoney88]

How can one man be so likable? Great start to a series.

[@HitomiCOD2]

Im so happy all the comments are so positive and encouraging, I bet his ego is just sky high right meow! and he deserves it too, enjoyed the Video very much!

[@wakkowarner123]

I'm surprised more people haven't done videos like this.

[@fastbreak333]

WakkoWarner123 It reminds me of Lordkat's Until We Win... I wish he hadn't quit so soon.

[@MartKencuda]

WakkoWarner123 Ironically it was James that inspired everyone to be an "angry gamer" and just bitch and yell about horrible or extremely hard video games. Now from the same exact channel we're getting a calm, cool, and collected walkthrough of a notoriously difficult game. Sidenote: I am not saying that no one has done this type of video before. Just that it's not a very popular type yet.

[@xCelticxCowboyx]

Check out Aqualung game reviews. Guy did a fucking step by step walk through of Dragons Lair for the NES.

[@Starscreamlive]

This felt like I was watching an old "how to win at video games" VHS. Bootsy has a soothing voice and cadence in this video. I like this style. Can't wait to see more.

[@BaconSenpai]

I love these. helped me beat the game and develop my own strategies. Wish he did more.

[@cattysplat]

You could tell Rare games were something special even back then. Smooth animation, funky music, fun but challenging gameplay and a sprinkle of multiplayer madness.

[@masonanglin4443]

bootsy is a chill guy. this will be an awesome series

[@roycrownguard]

I enjoyed this a lot! It was tons of fun to watch Bootsy being this awesome at such a hard game and I liked how he explained stuff and showed how to pull off certain stages. Kinda felt as if you'd sit next to him watching him play while he gives you tips, haha. I'm looking forward to see more of this series! Keep it up, good job.

[@kurtomac2386]

I’ve watched these videos at least 100 times lol

[@steamfeuver]

Really like the chill attitude and informative feedback on what to do. Definitively going to keep checking on these!

[@ProfessorOak92]

Officially my new favorite cinemassacre series!!!

[@DOBHELLRAISER]

Dude!!! So happy your making your own videos now. You are a bad ass at beating these games thought to be unbeatable.

[@THEGREATMAX]

After all these years, I NEVER KNEW YOU COULD FLY ON THE HELL HOG

[@mike509002]

Nice job Bootsy, keep up the good work. Love how you give detailed explainations about certain situations. Look forward to the next video

[@naranciaisbestboi125]

Yes! Bootsy finally has his own show! :D

[@aeongod]

This is the best thing ever! Bootsy has an awesome attitude. I love listening to him speak.

[@MiltonBendukidze]

Bootsy got his own show? Fu#king finally! I wish you the best and I'm sure you will do great! ;)

[@Warped807]

Awesome video, hope you keep the series going.. I can't wait for more of these.

[@acornstairlift]

I've never seen a pro gamer that's as chill as Bootsy.

[@jayflows9164]

Yay Bootsy! Always loved seeing that guy on Mike Mondays, good to see he's in the content creating business in this channel. Hope to see more of Bootsy.

[@SuperHoraceWimp]

there needs to be more in this series with a dvd release!

[@nightmarestudios5521]

I think this is a great idea, I am glad Bootsy gets his own series, especially when it helps with very hard games. Keep up the good work Bootsy :)

[@quirkybeaver]

This is great idea!

[@TommyCurrell]

Bootsy is a gifted gamer it's funny because I never expected it given how he was introduced as so clumsy in board James :) Great sense of humour and all round lovable bloke I'm really glad he is making his own series. Now off to finish the turbo tunnel with this advice and join the gaming elite!

[@hjalmarjohnson5846]

This concept needs far more love... I went from Uber excited at the announcement of the series on J&MM's battletoads video, to woefully disappointed it never went further than battletoads. Bring me more 8-bit buddha!

[@mysticalknightofjack]

This channel keeps getting better and better. It feels like reading Nintendo Power at this point. I love it.

[@Yarnick.]

I love it. Can't wait to see more.

[@AmandaRogersarock1988]

Yes, love watching Bootsy beat games! Awesome addition to the channel/site! :) .

[@MS-df2fk]

One of my favorite games as a kid even though I never beat it. My friend and I played it non-stop.

[@GldRush98]

I always knew I needed more Bootsy in my life. Looking forward to more Bootsy beats videos!

[@gregjarvis1232]

I would have to seen this come a regular segment of the avgn channel

[@martinbondesson]

Yay, Bootsy!

[@kivivyory4991]

5/5 ASMR

[@samnangpoe]

awww yeah, bootsy in the building!! Awesome video and i can imagine this being an awesome series!

[@mattwolf2000]

It's a great feeling to finish Battletoads. I was worshipped like a king back in the school days.

[@jasonbrown4526]

Matt Fenech I don't know anyone who beat this game back in the day. We always died at the last level, if we even made it that far.

[@mattwolf2000]

There wasn't many who could finish it in the day. I was the only person in my school who finished. My mate couldn't beat level 11.

[@jasonbrown4526]

Matt Fenech Some of us reached the last level, including me, but I don't think any of us ever completed it. I know I didn't.

[@mattwolf2000]

The tower was tough and usually you don't have enough lives to fight the dark queen. I just kept practicing and eventually I finished it. The toughest challenge for me was trying to finish the game 2 players. I was playing it with a mate of mine, but we couldn't get past level 8. The fans and the spring platforms was incredibly hard.

[@jasonbrown4526]

Matt Fenech We never got to Dark Queen.

[@seymourglass26]

Go Bootsy Go! New fan, but I appreciate the combination of his relaxing calm and a knowledgeable perspective.

[@JOEmega64]

Legendary video.

[@albrown8890]

I really like this style of video game walk-through. Great Job! Can't wait for more videos. Time to dust off my copy of Battle Toads and give it another try.

[@HiltonHeartless]

This is fucking great! Cinemasscre is getting a lot of good content up.

[@brydon10]

This is exactly what this channel needs! Thanks Bootsy.

[@RGT85]

Motherfucking BOOTSY! Absolute beast.

[@BhajanAddict]

This series is going to have so much potential! I really hope you beat many other games like this

[@beng4151]

Although this game is perhaps the hardest ever, it's level design is awesome. Kudos to the developers!

[@BaconSenpai]

Not even close to the hardest ever.

[@JumpNJetz]

This is actually really good, More Bootsy Beats please!

[@JazGalaxy]

This is like Nintendo Power 2015. Pretty funny that such a thing would exist. Who would have thought, 30 years ago?

[@geekhype]

This was a chill video. I look forward to more of these type of videos from Bootsy in the future!

[@sauronthelordofdarkness2269]

lmao, i did not know you could ride on the flying pig. Now i gotta play battletoads again.

[@adennard3]

I think Bootsy needs a KZbin channel. That's the best lets play/walkthrough I've seen this year.

[@rjpodcasthub]

Give Bootsy more videos, Cinemassacre

[@0djin]

AWWWWWWW BOOOTSY! Real talk, I really hope this becomes a new series, it's really calming and intriguing as hell. only hoping we get other crazy hard games after this like Ninja Gaiden, Silver Surfer, Ghosts and Goblins and the like.

[@tropicalterrarium1742]

I made it to the surf level with 9 lives, no deaths. My strongest run of my life (took a ton of practice and luck). Anyway lab comes storming in the room and bumps the Nintendo and it freezes!!!!

[@utubemj2010]

This guy is cool. I like the way he describes what he is doing. Excellent tutorial. Hope to see more from bootsy. Great job guys.

[@ronaldhenson3379]

I remember this game for the Nintendo entertainment system

[@iamseanbrage]

Holy crap I love this. So calm and collected.

[@NLasting]

"...Like beating Mike Tyson in Punch Out." That actually would be an excellent game for Bootsy to play, fingers crossed.

[@co81385]

This was an excellent video. The way the tips were described and pointed out reminded me if the old Nintendo Power magazines. Great job! I'm looking forward to the next one

[@joeyjojoshabadoo2508]

I feel like im watching a Bob Ross lets play

[@Stewyttyl]

Keep this series going it's actually really good and it helped me a lot

[@Untouchaable]

Great job.

[@RaceToNowhere]

This game was so inspired and polished, and still is, proof that real quality can resist over time. I'm also amazed by the precision of Bootsy, he plays the games as musical instruments.

[@ericthered1154]

You got a nice flow, Bootsy.

[@ashtonnajarian7549]

very relaxing and fun to watch i cant wait to see more!

[@ashtonnajarian7549]

ash naja also, that random bongo part was hilarious

[@AndrewEwing1995]

i wonder who actually uploads videos on cinemassacre

[@WiiAsian]

nice addition to Cinemassacre. You're really awesome Bootsy, and I look forward to seeing more videos from you. You are truly a gaming inspiration to be looked up to.

[@SaveCrystalGaming]

Please give us more of this

[@elimphead]

this was fun to watch. Great job Bootsy!

[@manpower386ify]

That Miley Cyrus reference got me rolling.

[@RuneTrips]

Favorite, liked, and been subscribed forever. Push for more Bootsy Beats! This man is a legend

[@usedx115x]

Attn Bootsy: Please do the NES game Holy Diver. It may be harder than Battletoads. It is certainly more frustrating.

[@MrBreadyb]

I really like Bootsy. He's the kind of guy I was playing a lot of these games with back in the day. I really love your videos, but if your videos are any indication, It'd be hard to hang out more than once a week. Keep 'em coming!

[@KalHimself]

ASMR vibes.. awesome.

[@DrVanNostrand01]

145k views in 1 day, Congrats on the early success! I'm really looking forward to this series, would like to see a Bootsy Beats Ninja Gaiden 1,2, or 3 also a Bootsy beats Double Dragon would be cool as well.

[@DrClawizdead]

You're going to do Silver Surfer next, right Bootsy?

[@SuperBudboy420]

Yes bootsy beats sounds like the best segment! Hope to see many more!
