This is a tangent, but remember when Gamestop was a target of ridicule and prank calls about Battletoads, instead of a delusional cult?

I used to play battletoads with my wife. She realized she can’t beat the car level, so she inevitably turns into a bell and beats me to death while we descend into the pit.

For those looking for the answer, the mystery was this: In the original marketing material for battletoads, level 7(?), the fire level, was shown to have the toads riding bikes. The released version of the game, they ride planes. Why was marketing wrong?
The answer is that someone found a beta version of the game where the toads are riding bikes. Therefore, the marketing must have been made with a beta or earlier version of the game.
Super click bait. I’m sure this is basically the answer that everyone thought it was, and all it is is that it is finally confirmed.
