My name is Wild Gunman, and I will try and help you with any problems you might have with this game. When I was 6, I absolutely LOVED the Ninja Turtles. I watched every episode, had every single action figure, from Leonardo to Shredder, had T-Shirts, posters, hats, everything! I also had this game, which I loved alot, it is like Streets Of Rage and Final Fight, where you walk around beating up the bad guys. Great show, great game, go and get it! Now, on to the guide! 2. The Guide I. Big Apple, 3.AM You are at a construction site. This is a good place to learn some of the moves. If you press both Y and B together, you will do a special attack. Use it when necessary. Anyhoo, go around beating up the foot clan. Watch out for the wrecking ball, it will squash you if you get under it so avoid. Make sure you get all the pizza you can. Krang will appear at one point and shoot out lasers from its eyes which will electrocute you if you get too close. Do not go anywhere near it. When you get to a dead end, Baxter will come and want to terminate you! BOSS FIGHT: Baxter Baxter likes to fly around shooting you. When he is on the ground, walk up to him and hit him with everything you got. When he flys, shoot and attack him. At the moment, Baxter is only firing machine gun bullets but if you do enough damage to him, Baxter will switch weapons and shoot out this huge sticky hand. Avoid it and keep on hitting him until his health runs out. II. Alleycat Blues There is not much to follow here, just bash the bad guys. You can hit the fire extinguisher to hit the enemies. At one point, these small robots appear which like to grab and shock you, make sure to get rid of them. You'll be introduced to the bomb pizza here, this will turn you into a tornado, making you invincible for a short time. Use it! Get to the end and Metal Head will jump out. BOSS FIGHT: Metal Head. For a hunk of metal, Metal Head sure is agile. He likes to jump around extending his arms and legs to hurt you. Just walk up to him and pound away. Sometimes, he will go to the side of the screen and shoot continuous ray beams at you, jump to avoid them. Keep on hitting him and he'll explode, leaving behind a pile of nuts and bolts. III. Sewer Surfin' In this level you are on a surf board, riding in the sewer. The foot soldiers on the boards only need one hit and they will die. The most dangerous soldiers are the blue ones with the swords. At one point, there are huge spikes which move up and down. To avoid them, move to the bottom of the screen. You should get the pizza boxes to get extra health and points. After that, these huge yellow monsters jump in the air trying to claw you, jump and attack them. Your points will be tallied up at the end. Shortly after, The Rat King will appear out of no where with his machine. BOSS FIGHT: The Rat King. Where it says "Break Point" is where you can hit him, so hit! Watch out though, Rat King likes to shoot out spiky balls which will send you to a toe doctor if they hit you, so move away when this happens. Keep on hitting him until he goes away. Now you will be shown a cut scene of the turtles jumping in the Technodrome. Let's kick shell! IV. Technodrome. Bash the enemies, but watch out for those mousers who like to chomp on you arm! Keep on bashing them and getting pizza until you reach the end. Rahzar and Tokka will show up. BOSS FIGHT: Rahzar and Tokka. This guys are tough nuts! Rahzar and Tokka both have deadly attacks. Tokka likes to freeze you, and Rahzar likes to burn you to a crisp! Just attack, using your regular and special attacks. Go in between them, and when they try to bump into you, move down! They'll bump into each other! They're strong, but they're aren't too smart. After you finish them, Tokka will turn back into a tortoise and Rahzar will turn back into a dog. It ain't over yet though. Go through the door. Now you are in an elevator. Each time you reach a floor, you will face foot soldiers. This isn't difficult until you reach the pink soldiers. They will always block your attacks so when it comes to fighting them, use your special attack by pressing Y and B together, remember? Another way is to run and press B to ram into them.* When you make it to the top, Shredder will be waiting for you in a spider like machine. BOSS FIGHT: Shredder. Shredder fills up half of the screen. DO NOT GO NEAR THE TARGET ZONE!! A special strategy must be developed to defeat him. There are foot soldiers roaming around where you fight. You must throw them towards the screen. To do that, attack them once, then press right (or left, depending on which side you are on) and B together and you will throw them in Shredder's path, giving him damage. Continue this, and Shredder's machine will break down. But Shredder will escape, and send you back in time! First stop, the dinosaur ages... V. 2500000000000 B.C-Prehistoric Turtlesauras. Your first stop in time will be back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. Watch out when you start the level, pterodactyls will drop rocks on you. Unfortunately, the foot soldiers made it back in time too! Continue your pattern of bashing and moving. When you reach the cave, stalactites fall from the ceiling, do not stand below them. In this level, the Rock Soldiers make their first appearance. These Rock Soldiers can take a lot of damage and some of them carry guns. They aren't impossible to defeat, so just attack them. When you leave the cave, T-Rexes will start to run around, don't go in their path or you'll be stomped on. Continue until you reach a statue that looks like Shredder. Slash will jump out. BOSS FIGHT: Slash. When you get close to him, he will slash away at you, clawing your face. Plus when you try to attack he will block you with his dagger. When he jumps, jump and attack. Then, when he lands on the ground, you can attack him. He has a lot of health. Continue this until he starts to flash. Usually when the boss's health is low he will start to flash. Continue this pattern until his health is gone. Next stop, the pirate ages... VI.1530 A.D-Skull and Crossbones. You are now on a pirate ship. Continue the usual pattern of bashing and moving. If you step on some parts of the ship, the plank will come up and hit you in the face. It won't hurt you, but it will slow you down and make you an easy target for enemies. There are green foot soldiers who like to fire arrows, avoid them. When you make it to a point where there are stairs, Bebop and Rocksteady appear. BOSS FIGHT: Bebop and Rocksteady. This is the second boss pair, but it is real easy. Just keep on attacking them. Use the same technique like you did with Rahzar and Tokka, go in between them and when they try to bump you, move! Simple. Next stop, the Old West... VII.1885 A.D-Bury my shell at wounded knee. This level reminds me so much of Back To The Future Part III. The date, the fact we're on a train, everything! Anyway, continue on bashing and moving. Foot soldiers will ride up on horses and jump on the train, plus some foot soldiers now use a chain attack which is similar to Scorpian's snake attack in Mortal Kombat. The people in the hats and sarongs are really foot soldiers. The Rock Soldiers carry metal planks which can cut off half of you health. Be careful! Lead Head is waiting for you at the end. BOSS FIGHT: Leatherhead.* Leatherhead has a ton of attacks. Walk up to him and attack. After 4 hits, Leatherhead will drop on all four feet. Jump!! He will move, biting and snapping. Continue this. L.Head also likes to throw knifes at you, jump over them, plus he likes to throw lobsters (?). The lobsters can be repeled at him to stun him if you time your attack right.* Continue the above pattern and he'll fall off the train. Next stop, the future... VIII.2020 A.D-Neon Night Riders. Now this is a fun level! You are riding on a hover board, and it is in a first person perspective. It is a lot like F-Zero. Bad guys will come flying towards you, just attack them, as well as those mousers who tried to chomp onto your arms in the previous levels! Occasionally, a foot soldier in a helicopter will appear and try to shoot you. Jump and attack. Be sure to get the ? orbs, they'll give you more health. After a while, the screen will turn back into it's side scrolling mode. Now Super Krang will appear! BOSS FIGHT: Super Krang. Super Krang is sometimes easy, sometimes hard. Keep on attacking him when he is on the screen because afterwards he will disappear and bombs will start falling. Avoid them. Once the bombs are gone, he will be back. Just continue to attack. After you've done enough damage, Super Krang will explode but Krang himself will appear and threaten you. Then he'll disappear. Next stop, space, the final frontier... IX. 2100 A.D-Starbase. Now you will be transported into space! Contiune to fight, there are new round critters who will shoot ray beams at you. Avoid the lasers coming down at you. When you step on the platforms, the blue ones will freeze you if you step on them, avoid! There is also a huge bowling ball, make sure to avoid that too! After a while, you'll have to fight Krang again, with Shredder in the background shaking his fists! BOSS FIGHT: Krang. This time Krang is in a flying saucer, moving around in the air, so you should jump and attack him. He will leave behind those round critters which can get annoying. When his health gets low, he will just start to drop on you which will take off half of your life. After all his health is gone, he will explode. Then after that has happened, a portal will open. Step inside it. Next stop, the present... X. Shredder-The Final Shell Shocker. Shredder is back!! The Statue Of Liberty is in the background. You will see him turn into Super Shredder! The battle begins! BOSS FIGHT: Super Shredder. As you have expected, it's not going to be easy at all. Shredder has loads of health, and three VERY POWERFUL attacks. Whenever he is using an attack, he will glow. Do not touch him when he is in that state or you will lose health. Shredder's first attack is when he is glowing blue, shooting blue arrows in the sky. He does this if you jump in the air. Don't do it!* Shredder's next attack is when he glows red, he will shoot fire trails. Do not stand in his way. And Shredder's most powerful attack is when he glows green. He will shoot a green blast which will make you lose a life no matter how much health you have! Avoid at all costs! When he isn't attacking, you should just walk up to him and attack. Remember that after 4 hits he will start attacking. Just keep this all up until he finally loses all of his health. He will fall off! You can get extra points if you beat him without being hit.* You did it!! You completed the game! 3. Characters I. The Good Leonardo-This is the leader of the Turtles. Leo has good hearing and sight, which is what makes him the leader. His weapons are samurai swords. Donatello-The Brain of the turtles. Has made some useful inventions that have helped the turtles out a lot. The best character out of the lot. His weapon is his Bo Staff. Raphael- The Wit of the turtles. Whenever he says something, it's usually sarcastic and witty, but he happens to be a good fighter. His weapons are Sai's. Michaelangelo-The Party animal of the turtles. He loves pizza, and likes to party a lot. His weapons are Nunchaku. Splinter-Formerly known as Hamato Yoshi, former leader of the Foot Clan, the most notorious gang in Japan which Shredder now owns. Hamato was disgraced and escaped to the sewers, accidently falling into some retromutagen ooze and so did a rat, and so he became half-man, half-rat. Splinter is wise and gives out always helpful advice to the Turtles. April-A TV News reporter for Channel 6. She is a friend of the turtles and appears when you don't do anything and impatiently yells "FIGHT!!" II. The Bad Foot Soldiers-The Foot Clan, now owned by Shredder. Foot Soldiers are strong, and attack with a variety of weapons. Rock Soldiers-These guys are rock-solid, and will take you a few hits to finish them off. Some of them even carry steel planks and rocket launchers! Baxter Stockman-A mad scientist who is half-man, half-fly. Shredder convinced him that the Turtles are his enemy. Continues to fly around and annoy the Turtles. Metalhead-a robotic replica of a Ninja Turtle, programmed by Krang to terminate the turtles. Rat King-A mysterious person who lives in the sewer with rats. Not much is known about him. Tokka- Featured in the second Ninja Turtles movie: The Secret Of The Ooze, Tokka is mixed with ooze and a tortoise. Incredibly strong and hungry! Rahzar-Also featured in the second movie, he is mixed with ooze and a dog. Slash-Believe it or not, there were actually five turtles, not four. Slash mutated like the rest, but he turned out to be a freak. Slash escaped the sewer in a rage, and now works for Shredder. He is the most powerful turtle ever. Bebop and Rocksteady- Shredder's two bumbling, moronic apprentices. Mixed with two punk teenagers and a rhino and warthog from the local zoo. Bebop and Rocksteady are strong, but they aren't smart. Leatherhead-Mixed with an outback thug and a crocodile, Leatherhead is real dangerous, hating the turtles a lot. He likes throwing knifes! Krang/Super Krang-Krang is Shredder's boss and the ruler of Dimension X. Krang's lair is the Technodrome, a huge mechanical contraption that can only stay in Dimension X. Krang is a pink brain and is always in a huge mechanical body where he moves around and fights in. He's beyond ruthless. Shredder/Super Shredder-The turtles Arch-Nemesis! Shredder was originally Oroku Saki, who trained in the Foot Clan. Oroku wanted to get revenge againest Hamato (now Splinter) for killing his brother. Shredder eventually became head of the Foot Clan and disgraced Hamato. But he didn't stop there. He was also very intelligent, and made loads of machines and made contact with Krang in Dimension X. He is responsible for the mutation of the Turtles. He just ain't a nice guy. 4. Ratings of the turtles.* These are what I think of the turtles overall: Raph-Very fast, but takes the most damage out of the turtles. Mike-The strongest, but a little slow. Don-A well rounded character. Definitely one for beginners. Leo-Slow, but takes the least damage out of the turtles. 5. Frequently Asked Questions Q.What's a good Ninja turtles site I can go to?
