Famitracker Bits - Bad Apple 'Toads (Touhou x Battletoads) [2a03]

I can't even get myself to move, I continue to be washed down the cracks of time! I don't know anything about what's around me, I'm just me and no more...well except for that DAMN RAT THAT GETS ME EVERY TIME.

If you're a Touhou fan, there's a 99% chance you've listened to Bad Apple before, whether by hearing the famous Alstroemeria Records cover or the original PC-98 song from Lotus Land Story. While I do prefer the PC-98 version, it seems like a rite of passage for any Touhou fan-musicians to do at least one remix of it. That being the case, I decided to cover the Alstroemeria version...mixing it with a somewhat grating song from Battletoads, from a stage very few people like.

Why? There's an actual good reason for it: a couple years back I ran into a glitch in Rat Race when playing it on the Wii FCEUXGX emulator, which screwed with the palette, eventually turning it completely black and white. I do have footage of it from when I tried beating it in the past, which is what I'm showing right here, and you can find it in the link below if you want to see it in action without the better music playing. Prior to posting this, I've been able to replicate it on actual hardware (which is why I posted the previous video), and I *think* it's because I'm playing as Zitz and screwing around with the movement, combined with the number of colors and/or animated tiles on screen, but I'm not 100% sure since it seems to be random. If you are really good at Battletoads and can somehow replicate it (on actual hardware preferred, but it should work on emulator) and figure out what the hell happened and why it's acting up like that, let me know in the comments, because I actually think this is kinda rad!

Getting back on topic, I showed it to some friends the other day to showcase how broken this game can be, and someone commented that this was the Battletoads version of Bad Apple. I laughed ..
