Actually, I got past Rat Race. The only way to clear the third race is to headbutt the rat at the end of the long passages. He'll fly in the air, bounce off the wall, and run backwards, bounce off, and come back to you. Since he's like, twice as fast the third time you need to do this on each stretch :<

What's impossible is Wheeler Dealer, where you hold onto a cart and drive it around a level while an orb chases you. There are no checkpoints at all and it goes on for well over 10 minutes. Any mistake will mean you die later. Apparently Battletoads is the only game with anti-save-state protection.
