I thought you made this without knowledge of IS THIS BATTLETOADS. It was I who was mistaken. Kung-fu fight, behind the grocery store. Bring your own weapons. Safety is not guaranteed.

Funny man. I remember how frustrating Battle Toads was. I would get through the first two levels or warp to the third level and always die by smashing into a wall when riding those hover cars.

For the record I didn't get this from anywhere. I just heard the Duran Duran song and have a good memory when it comes to video games, so I made the connection. I remembered the Duran Duran song from one of the Stephanie test sites, and was like OMG I know where that's from.

"The game developers were just being unoriginal c*ckf*gs when it came to music, obviously." If you've written the tracks for 80% of Rare games, you're bound to use an outside source sometime. David Wise is a genuis.
