Reception
A retrospective article by Tony Ponce in Destructoid called it the most unique entry in the Battletoads series, also highlighting its level of mature content ("a precursor to the beloved brand of toilet humor that made Conker's Bad Fur Day a cult classic") and violence. Ponce criticised the game's gameplay formula as less varied than in its predecessors, but added: "But then I remember that this is motherfuckin' Battletoads in the motherfuckin' arcade and everything is all right again." HonestGamers called the game "exactly what the franchise should have been from the beginning", rating it 8/10 ("excellent").
