Battletoads (NES)
editLevel 1
editProfessor T. Bird
- "I've located the Gargantua, 'toads! She's hidden beneath the planet's surface!"
- "Get ready, 'toads! Down to the surface on the turbo-cables!"
- "Keep it movin' along the surface, 'toads! And watch out for the Psyko-Pigs!"
- "Work your way along the surface, 'toads – and hurry! Pimple n' Angelica are in deep trouble!"
Level 2
editDark Queen
- "So, Hookbill, your frogs did well! But let us see how they do against my birds of prey – pray the birds don't get them! Ha-ha-ha-ha...!"
- "Arrrrgh! You've made porkmeat out of my Psyko-Pigs!"
- "They'll never make it against my Saturn Toadtraps, you feathered freak!"
- "Down into the dark, Battlejerks – and see how you fare against the Retro-Blasters!"
Professor T. Bird
- "Let's get mad, bad and crazy, 'toads! Use the turbo-cables to tackle that chasm!"
- "Watch out, 'toads! There's bound to be a whole toad-load of trouble down in that crater!"
- "It's a vertical drop for about a mile – and there are things movin' down there, so you better take care, 'toads..."
- "Sensors indicate that the chasm descends for about a mile – watch out for booby traps!"
Level 3
editDark Queen
- "Don't get too cocky, snotskins – there's plenty more where that came from!"
- "So, you managed to avoid my traps, eh! Well, it takes a booby to beat a booby, I always say!"
- "You're gonna have to get faster if you want to make it, Pond Patrol!"
- "Give up now, before the Mutant Ratpack gets you, wart-heads!"
Professor T. Bird
- "Sensors indicate speed bikes dead ahead! Go get 'em, 'toads!"
- "It's the need-to-speed from now on, 'toads!"
- "Better step on it, 'toads – the Ratpack's hot on your heels!"
- "You gotta be like green lightnin' if you're gonna make it through here, 'toads!"
Level 4
editDark Queen
- "So the Rat Rockets didn't get you, huh! Well, the Ice Spikes certainly will!"
- "You annoying frogs! I'll have you chopped up into a gourmet lunch and the pieces deep-frozen for eternity!"
- "You play leapfrog well with those speed bikes, my green friends, but unfortunately, you can't take them with you!"
- "Curse your warty hides! I'll bring down ice and fire upon your ugly heads!"
Professor T. Bird
- "Let's break the ice, 'toads! It's party time!"
- "You're gonna be slip-slidin' away, 'toads, if you don't watch your step!"
- "Brrr! It's cold enough down there to freeze the yarbles off a Zalladian Behemoth!"
- "I'm getting sub-zero readings nearby! So hang loose, 'toads – anything could happen in there!"
Level 5
editDark Queen
- "You know what they say, don't you – out of the frying pan and into the surf!"
- "Watch out for the breakers, Battlebarf! Because they're going to break you into little green pieces!"
- "Oh, you're gonna be surfin' – surfin' D.O.A.! That's dead on arrival, Pond Patrol!"
- "When I say there's going to be a wipe-out down there, you can bet on it, Prattletoads!"
Professor T. Bird
- "Surf's up, 'toads! Let's kick those spaceboards into action!"
- "You're doin' great, 'toads! The Dark Queen will be foamin' at the mouth when you ride through this little number!"
- "Don't worry 'bout it, 'toads, 'cuz the Dark Queen don't surf!"
- "Hang ten, 'toads! Surf City, here we come!"
Level 6
editDark Queen
- "Is it true that the toad's greatest enemy is the snake? Well, we'll soon find out! Ha-ha-ha-ha...!"
- "Give it up, toadies! You'll never make it past the giant snakes!"
- "Take it from me, swampbreath, you won't be going any further!"
- "What?! You've made it through?! I'll make you pay for your impudence!"
Professor T. Bird
- "Time to grab a piece of tail, 'toads – and hang on tight!"
- "Watch out, 'toads! Sensors indicate somethin' long and slippery slitherin' toward you!"
- "Slither up outta there, 'toads! You're gonna have to scale the cavern to find the exit!"
- "Yee-ha! Ride them snakes, toadboys!"
Level 7
editDark Queen
- "So, you think you're hot, huh, 'toads!? Well, it looks like it's going to get hotter down there – much hotter!"
- "C'mon, Toadies, light my fire!"
- "Burn, Toadies, burn!"
- "You're good, I'll give you that – good enough to burn!"
Professor T. Bird
- "Looks like the Dark Queen's got a warm reception planned for the Battletoads!"
- "Things are really heatin' up down there, 'toads!"
- "Wow, 'toads! You'll be really hot and bothered by this little sizzler!"
- "Better jet your way outta this one, 'toads!"
Level 8
editDark Queen
- "The Gargantua won't be a pushover, Wartbodies, it's far too big for that!"
- "I can't believe you've gotten this far! Prepare yourselves for a sticky green end, Toadies!"
- "You may think the heat's off, slimebacks. Well, think again, because there's plenty more where that came from!"
- "The higher you climb, swamp scum, the further you'll fall!"
Professor T. Bird
- "The only way is up, 'toads – so let's go for it!"
- "When the goin' gets tough, the 'toads get goin'! Up and at 'em, guys!"
- "You 'toads are definitely movin' up in the world!"
- "Sensors indicate you've accessed a duct in the Gargantua! Be careful, 'toads!"
Level 9
editDark Queen
- "You 'toads are definitely asking for it, and since I don't want to disappoint you, here it comes – your timely demise!"
- "Now, that makes me mad. And when I get mad, I get nasty. And when I get nasty, I usually end up maiming something – like you, f'rinstance!"
- "Well, well, well – fancy seeing you here! What an unpleasant surprise!"
- "Don't get too confident, wartybottoms, because I can assure you that you won't be going any further!"
Professor T. Bird
- "We're making good headway, 'toads – don't let up now!"
- "It's a maze in there, 'toads! So, keep a cool head, and you'll be okay!"
- "Go through the steel spaghetti, 'toads – and watch out for booby traps!"
- "I'm getting a whole load of weird readings on the sensors, so, take care, 'toads!"
Level 10
editDark Queen
- "Rest assured, wartfeatures, the next level's gonna go like a bomb! Ha-ha-ha-ha...!"
- "Okay – c'mon and make my day, Toadies!"
- "Your arrogance would annoy me, Battlebarf, if it wasn't for the fact that you're going to be bombing out very soon!"
- "You shall pay for your impertinence, slimeheads – with your lives!"
Professor T. Bird
- "Get ready, 'toads! You gotta race the rodent and defuse the bomb!"
- "Hey, 'toads! You have three bombs to defuse before the Ratpack blows us all to Toad-Heaven!"
- "Put on your running shoes, 'toads, and race the rat to the bomb at the bottom!"
- "The bomb's at the bottom, so get ready, 'toads – and come on down!"
Level 11
editDark Queen
- "Curse your green hides! You've done it again!"
- "Up and down and around they go, but where they fry, only I can know!"
- "Oh, no! The bombs are all defused, and the wartheads are still alive!"
- "Pretty spunky, 'toads – but it isn't over yet!"
Professor T. Bird
- "Hold on tight and get ready for a fight! The Battletoads are outasight!"
- "Get a grip, guys! Let's motivate!"
- "It's time to travel on the Clinger-Winger, 'toads!"
- "There's a crazy roller-coaster comin' up, 'toads! So, keep a cool green head!"
Level 12
editDark Queen
- "Welcome to the Revolution, Battlejerks! This is where you lose your heads!"
- "Top of the world, Toadies! Come and get me if you dare!"
- "Nooooo! I can't believe you swamp scum have made it this far! I can see I'm going to have to get nasty!"
- "Come to the tower, boys, and let's see what you've got!"
Professor T. Bird
- "Things are lookin' up from here on, 'toads! And I do mean up!"
- "Well, it's one small step for a 'Toad, one giant leap for toadkind! Go for it, guys!"
- "Let's make like the green machine, guys, and motor on up to the top of the tower!"
- "Holy Hip-hop, 'Toads! The Dark Queen's at the top of the tower just waiting to be creamed!"
Game Over
editProfessor T. Bird (continuing after game over)
- "Whad'ya' mean 'bad scene'? I'll give ya' bad scene if you don't get back here with Pimple and Angelica!"
- "Phew! That was painful to watch! Okay, practice is over, guys, let's go for it this time!"
- "What the frog's goin' on, 'toads?! Get back there and fry the pork!"
- "Yes! The Dark Queen just phoned to say she sent you home, because you obviously weren't feeling too good!"
Dark Queen
- "Ha! Just as I predicted. A complete and utter victory for the home side, and a hopeless failure for the beak and his quaggy croakers! This domain belongs to me! Ha-ha-ha-ha...!"
- "Was that really the best you can do! Mmmm! I wonder what roast vulture and frogs' legs taste like!? Mmm!...Chomp!...Crunch! Chew! They...Mmmm...taste...Mm-hmm-good..."
- "Ha-ha-ha-ha...! Care to try your luck again? - 'Cuz it's only luck that got you this far, swampbreath!"
- "Oh, dear, how unutterably sad. You lose and I win. You 'toads couldn't fight your way out of a paper bag!"
End of game
editDark Queen
- "I guess you slippery suckers think you're pretty hot stuff, huh? Well, you don't cheat the Dark Lady that easily! Till next time, Cattle Loads!"
- "What?! I lost! This can't be! I'm the Dark Queen! Wrong is better than right, dark is stronger than light! Grrrr! I hate you, Battletoads! I'm outta here!"
- "No! This can't be true! My entire defense system, beaten by a couple of mucus-lobbing slime-jackets! Better disappear, real quick, before something really nasty happens! Adios, Fountain Freaks!"
- "Robo-Manus? Blaggie! Speak to your queen! Have those vile slush-hoppers crushed your craniums...? Well, don't worry – I'll restore you both. You snot gobblers will pay for this!"
Professor T. Bird
- "Wow! You guys oughta bottle that skill and charisma – you'll make a fortune!"
- "Whoo! Alright guys! There's nothin' like the sweet smell of success to clear out those clogged sinuses!"
- "Okay, let's break out the sodas and junk-food – It's party time!"
- "Waydigo, 'toads! The big guy's back and the princess is saved!"
