Battletoads In Battlemaniacs

Story

The story begins with the Battletoads visiting Gyachung-La Fortress in northern Tibet. Professor T. Bird has invited them there to witness the first demonstration of Psicone Corporation's new virtual reality gaming system, T.R.I.P.S (Total Reality Integrated Playing System). During the demonstration of the system's artificial world (titled "The Gamescape"), a pig of the apocalypse jumps out of the screen and kidnaps Michiko Tashoku (the daughter of Psicone Corporation CEO Yuriko Tashoku). Zitz tries to rescue her, but is knocked down by the pig and captured as well. The pig escapes back to the Gamescape and Silas Volkmire appears on the screen, announcing his plans to turn the real world into his own Gamescape and that Michiko and Zitz are being held captive by the evil Dark Queen. With nothing left to lose, Rash and Pimple enter the Gamescape to rescue their friends and prevent Volkmire and the Dark Queen from carrying out their plans. Along the way, they fight Rocky, a giant stone pig, and face Scuzz, a rat that challenges them in the final level. The Battletoads finally reach the Dark Queen in her tower and defeat her, but she manages to escape again. Bird finds out with his scanners that Volkmire is trying to escape with a teleporter, so the Battletoads leave the game world and get into the Battlecopter to chase him. Depending on how the player behaves in this final section of the game, there are two possible endings that can occur. If the player fails to shoot three missiles at Volkmire's teleporter, he escapes and the Battletoads are down, knowing that Volkmire is free and the Dark Queen is out for revenge. When the player successfully fires three missiles at Volkmire's teleporter, the ship crashes in the Himalayas and is recovered, but Volkmire is nowhere to be found. Similar to the first ending, it is implied that Volkmire and the Dark Queen want revenge.
