NES MASTER: BATTLETOADS!!
Before cataloging the myriad testicle-shrinking terrors that is the Battletoads, let's set the mood with a little music:

The above music, played every time Battletoads is paused, beyond being my favorite part of the game (literally) becomes quite important as the game advances.

BattletoadsDeveloped by Rare and released in 1991, Battletoads is the consensus #1 hardest game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. And for good reason; much like Bayou Billy or TMNT, Battletoads is a hybrid beat 'em up/action/racing game, the difference being that each segment of the game is both well designed and incredibly difficult.
Hootie McBoob
uh, maybe we should...
hehe...let her win...

To say the plot is 'run-of-the-mill' would be derogatory to mill products like particleboard and plywood--evil Hootie McBoob kidnaps someone (I'm not sure who, I pressed start) and its up to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Battletoads to defeat her. Aiding the the Toads are in this quest is Splinter Professor T. Bird. The game is an  unabashed Mad-Lib of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, swapping 'toad' for 'turtle' on the line 'Semi-Aquatic Animal.'
