@@MatthewTheWolf2029 This is the case for every single game that was converted from Arcade to NES. In order to run Battletoads on console, it required so much compression to be able to fit the games onto the cartridge. My mind still melts when I see that the Battletoads NES rom is 257 kilobytes.

Fun bit of Trivia: turns out that a boss fight and an extra stage ended up cut from this game. Where you fight Karnath is where you should've battled General Oink (and saved Santa Claus), and the end of stage 4 (with the hover packs) is where Karnath would've been. The missing stage is one called "Brain Chase" -- maybe we would've battled Silas Volkmire? Also Pimple for the win!

The battletoads have never properly defeated silas volkmire so that sounds interesting.
