I believe I can tell you exactly what you were doing wrong, if you're interested. Every time you died, I could identify one of three reasons for it: 1- You pushed down on the d-pad. Mike mentioned pushing up, but pushing down can be just as deadly (if not more so), as it's actually possible to go out of bounds during jumps -- so you were literally landing on the rocks below the platform, rather than on the platform itself. 2- You didn't QUITE land on the platform. Several of the times you died, you wound up JUST SHY of the platform -- another millimeter to the right and you would've landed successfully. The platforms aren't as large as they look, especially as you approach the top of them -- what looks like perspective is actually treated as physical design, so the platforms are longer on the bottom than they are on the top. Therefore, the closer to the top you are, the less area you have to land on (and jump from). 3- Your jump didn't register. This is similar to point 2 -- if you press the jump button a split second too late (i.e. after you've already officially ridden off the edge of the platform), then as far as the game is concerned, you just plain didn't jump at all. You seemed to think you did a few times, but I believe that was just you steering up, as opposed to actually rising in the air. The key to passing that part of the Turbo Tunnel is paying careful attention to your shadow -- if you don't see your shadow when you "land" on the platform, that means either you were too far to the left or too far down, thus not actually landing on the platform at all. Additionally, you need to make sure that when you land, you leave yourself enough space to jump again before the platform auto-scrolls off the screen. If you don't, you'll just ride right off the edge and die no matter what -- there's no recovery from that.

@Kodaishinigami9 жыл бұрын
Poor James. I've never seem him look so discouraged while playing a game. At least he beat it in the end, though. The thing about the part that he was always getting screwed on is that the way the platforms look, where the lower parts appear wider and the higher parts appear smaller, is actually accurate to how they are. If you're high up, you're more likely to miss the platform because your landing room is smaller. James kept accidentally doing that to himself because he kept either staying in the middle or unintentionally moving up to where the platform is very narrow. If you move down, your landing room is a lot bigger to the point where you can just jump from platform to platform without having to move at all.

@tetsujin_1449 жыл бұрын
It's not really about the platforms being narrower at the top - 'cause they're not, it's just perspective. But when you're in the air in Turbo Tunnel you can go "off the rails" - too far to the foreground or background, so you'll actually miss the landing even though your sprite is right on top of the platform.
@randomwanderer3119 жыл бұрын
Scope-Eye video actually the platforms are narrower on the top and wider at the bottom. At the bottom you have a greater landing zone. You can test this by just walking off the edge, you will always notice that you will fall off quicker on the top than if you are at the bottom.
@zerobyte8029 жыл бұрын
Nikhil Sadalkar Nikjil is right. You have a wider margin for error by going through the manual jumps at the lower edge. The left/right/left/right part is a lot less necessary down there, too. They're having trouble putting it into words - here's how I would explain it: You go right while in the air to "shorten" the jump, and then back left again while you're on the ground to give yourself a little more time for the next jump, and to get back closer to the middle of the screen so you can have more reaction time. Right in air / left on ground / right in air / left on ground (repeat repeat repeat). Lower on screen is easier and requires less precision in the technique.
@mrkraz9 жыл бұрын
Scope-Eye video It's supposed to be perspective, but it's not perfect, it is a little narrower near the top (but not as much as it looks like). And no, you can't go 'off the rails' by going up and down, that's bullshit. The main issue is going backward during jumps, that will make you fail almost every time. If you think you've jumped too early, you can save it by going forward, but it shouldn't be necessary. TL;DR: NEVER go backwards mid-jump. It's pretty easy to see James went back every time he fell.
@Selrisitai9 жыл бұрын
It's frustrating to watch because Mike is intuitively going forward to get far enough to land, but then hitting back so that he does not keep going forward until he's off the screen. When James goes through the floor it is because he is not landing far enough forward, but he also failed to move back after successfully landing a jump so he was moving off the screen. Neither, for some reason, could understand this.

Definitely. Every one has already said it but he pulls too far backwards on the jumps. You can't just hit the edges of the platforms, you need to hit them in the middle. Hug the top of the screen, because the platform is narrower, it helps to pinpoint the landing spots. The wider bottom of the platforms are an illusion, you don't have as much room as you think. Anyway the real challenge is both him and Mike doing the turbo tunnel at the same time.

I just played this part. You have to land pretty much in the center of each of those small platforms. You DON"T have to rock the dpad back and forth that much. I made it just by timing the jumps just right.

@SOCAL_SHORTS_FACTORY9 жыл бұрын
Yeah that's what I noticed too. Every time he falls down it's because he moves forward then comes back too far. Don't need to rock back and forth. He over corrected his move.

All you have to do is stay all the way back and those jumps are easy.

Next you guys should try to beat level 12, The Revolution. It makes the turbo tunnel look like stage 1 of Mario 2.
@MEEZLEMONSTER9 жыл бұрын
I think I got to Stage 12 once. As an adult. And I almost got to the Dark Queen. But as a kid, the Turbo Tunnel was it for me. And I could never really practice the pattern in the 3 days I was able to rent the game from Blockbuster. LOL/SMH

I don't know how but as a kid I beat Battletoads. Eventually. With a game genie. As an adult I just recently played through it on the legit and beat it but it took me many many many many tries.

Ninjamohawk I commend you. Battletoads & Ninja Gaiden (of course) are the two best NES game that I've never beaten.

...The part of the jumps I beated it second try, just… don't steer. Only jump. Literally the opposite of what you're doing. You only make it harder to yourself.

Practically every time you "fall through the platform" and you can't understand why, it's because you undershot the jump; it's probably a lot harder to see while you're playing the game because it's going so fast and there's not really any time to catch a breath, but if you watch where Mike is landing on the platforms and compare it to where you're landing (or not landing, as the case may be) on them it's pretty obvious what's going on. Congratulations on finally passing the stage, I hope Mike is reading these comments so he can pass them onto you and you finally don't feel so in the dark about it.

When I was a kid those jumps gave me trouble as well. Battletoads was a game I beat countless times effortlessly long ago when I was a kid. Just cause I had no other games. But the reason you fell is simply cause you didn't land on the platform. Let me explain. You were mostly in the middle of the platform but when you jumped you would aim to jump on the lower part of the platform which you will not land on, and hence go through, cause your initial position is in the middle. What you need to do is simply stay at the bottom of the screen cause you got more platform area to handle, and reduce your chances of falling. In conclusion, stay on the bottom unless you need to dodge objects or go on a ramp. Other than that, stay on the bottom. You will see a difference.
