Battletoads in Ragnarok’s World Game Manual
Professor T. Bird and the three Battletoads, Rash, Zitz, and Pimple, are escorting Princess Angelica to her home planet using their spacecraft, the Vulture. Pimple and Angelica decide to take a leisurely trip on Pimple’s flying car. They are ambushed and captured by the Dark Queen’s ship, the Gargantua. Pimple sends out a distress signal to the Vulture, alerting Professor T. Bird, Rash, and Zitz that himself and Angelica had been captured. Learning that the Gargantua is hidden beneath the surface of a nearby planet called Ragnarok’s World, Professor T. Bird flies Rash and Zitz there in the Vulture to rescue them.
Between levels, the toads receive briefing comments from Professor T. Bird, along with teasing from the Dark Queen. During the game’s 13 levels, the Battletoads are faced with Dark Queen’s minions Big Blag, Robo Manus and Major Slaughter as bosses, ultimately facing the Dark Queen herself at the top of the Dark Tower, the game’s final level. Once the Queen is defeated, she claims it will not be the last they would see from her, later turning into some sort of tornado and flying into space, “retreating into the shadowy margins of the galaxy to recoup her losses”. With Pimple and Princess Angelica rescued, the four are brought back into the Vulture and the game ends.
