Rare released the newest entry in the classic Battletoads franchise earlier this week. According to critics, Battletoads seems to have generally stuck the landing considering it needed to simultaneously please newcomers to the series as well as fans of the classic from the '90s. Now that the game is available to the public, players are looking to dive into the brawler and add to their gamerscores through various achievements.
Rare released the list of achievements for Battletoads a few days before the game's launch on PC and Xbox One. Most of the achievements for Battletoads are gained simply by playing through the story mode, however, some of them need a little extra searching and experimenting to unlock, such as the mysterious 'The Dlala Code' achievement.
The Dlala Code is a parody of the classic Konami Code. In order to unlock The Dlala Code achievement, players will need to watch the credits through the main menu of Battletoads (which players will also gain an achievement for doing). During the credits when the Dlala Studios logo comes on screen, and players will need to press the following button inputs, with directional inputs being done on the D-Pad: Down, Left, A, Left, A. Once the final button is pressed, the achievement should unlock right away.
While this may be the first Battletoads game in 26 years, that doesn't mean that the toads have been up to nothing all these years. Over the years, the Battletoads made guest appearances in Yacht Club Games' PC and Xbox One versions of Shovel Knight, and Rash made his fighting game debut in Killer Instinct 5 years ago. Rare even recently added the Fightin' Frogs Ship Set for Sea of Thieves to celebrate the return of the classic franchise.
Battletoads is but one of many of the games coming to the Xbox Game Pass in the back half of August. Only two days prior to Battletoads' release, the service saw the addition of both Spiritfarer and the highly anticipated Microsoft Flight Simulator, and over the next week players will be able to play Tell Me Why, Wasteland 3, and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.
The new Battletoads game is technically a brawler, but it experiments with multiple genres and minigames over the course of its four acts. Many consider it to be genuinely funny, and maintain balance with its infamous difficulty. Hopefully, with this game's success, a sequel for Battletoads will soon be in the works.
Battletoads is available now on PC and Xbox One.
