Do they at least get different endings? (summer/winter april/casey)

*Ninjinister* · 07-02-2009, 02:59 PM

They, like most characters, don't even get their own story mode. The characters that have been posted previously are the only ones.

I almost bought this today for 8 bucks... maybe next time.

Yeah, and dont' even get me started on Stonebiter's omission!

It's not a great game by any definition. However, if you are a Turtles fan (and I'm sure you are) I'd say it's worth a spin if you can find it for under $10. It's pretty much a poor man's Power Stone . . . a very poor man's Power Stone. But that doesn't mean you can't have a good time with it. I found the story mode very funny in the mission descriptions.

I LOVED Power Stone... and I make minimum wage. Perfect

The one thing I should add to that Power Stone comparison is that very rarely was I able to get free enough to pick up and use weapons effectively in Mutant Melee. The AI is pretty cut-throat about not giving you space to mess around.

Time to re-open this can of worms...

I've beaten it as Raph, Leo, and Donnie. On to Mikey, then the unlocked characters.

Anyone else think there are some stages with ridiculously difficult goals: Defeat Oroku Saki (And his huge body guards...singlehandedly). Take out the Shredder once and for all. (This includes Hun, a couple of Foot Soldiers, and Shredder himself...Twice!)

Yeah, man, I saw this scene a lot!

Shredder Victorious! by oldmanwinters, on Flickr

Early in the game, I had lots of trouble when I had to fight all 3 turtles at once in the dojo. And regular ol' Saki gave me lots of trouble as well!

**Jester** · 09-14-2011, 10:49 AM

Man...I really suck. I'm on the 4th stage of Mikey's story (The rooftop where you have to jump from building to building) and I've run it about 15 times already. Mainly I lose because of lucky shots where a Foot will kick my straight off the roof....one hit death. I was so close this last time and the Foot Tech kicked me and I landed at the top of the screen...I freaked and it looked like Mikey was getting up...only to lose his footing and fall off...ARGH!!

Yeah, any mission that has the "one death= fail" stipulation tends to be really tough, since the enemies are able to respawn. Also, any level that requires you to "protect" somebody form dying like Splinter or April tends to get really tough. I thought the Lab level where you have to keep April safe from the crane & "lava pit" while fighting 3-4 enemies was really hard.

**Jester** · 09-14-2011, 10:59 AM

Indeed. Especially since EVERYONE ELSE can respawn...but April...one move of the crane, and it's over.

**Jester** · 09-14-2011, 11:22 AM

Who do you think voices the Foot? Jason Griffith, the guy who voiced Usagi?

Also, who else found the "You Lost" Screens less than helpful. Case and point:

What the heck does that mean?

*gobo* · 09-14-2011, 11:41 AM

Keep an eye on all of them instead of just one, I imagine.

**Jester** · 09-14-2011, 11:52 AM

I'd agree...if it wasn't a 1-on-1 fight with Splinter...but it might show up elsewhere, and you couldn't know that...

Made it to a new "What the heck!" stage:

Yeah...don't harm April...but she will flat murder you!
I repeat my earlier statement that Saki is a coward. I move to attack he...he bolts, allowing APRIL to pummel my shell!

**Jester** · 09-14-2011, 01:36 PM

Playing as April...man the fact that Veronica Taylor was both April and Nano makes the constant "NO!" scream from April seem like a recycled Nano byte.

Oddly enough, you can KO April during this mission without consequence. I just had to know for sure!

And, yes, Mutant Melee is full of odd mission objectives. The mission briefing and mission fail screens are some of my favorite parts to the game!

**Jester** · 09-14-2011, 02:04 PM

At another "one wrong move and you're over the edge and dead" stage. April's last. I know I've beaten it before...and I've gotten so close. One time I had Hun down to like one hit...and he suicide dove with me over the edge.

Those CPU buggers tend to do that. Jerks...

I actually had an easier time beating the game with April than just about any other character. Her spin kicks are pretty devastating when you can back an opponent into a small space. But Hun is still pretty tough.

Oh trust me...I can beat everyone before Hun and have almost a full life bar...April brings the PAIN!

BEAT HUN!!! Finally.
