Battletoads
Martial arts frogs
Battletoads is a video game franchise that began in 1991, featuring anthropomorphic toads fighting through punishingly difficult side-scrolling levels.
The game became notorious for its extreme difficulty, particularly a speeder bike segment that frustrated a generation of players.
