TMNT Tournament Fighters

[Sonic x 20]

I made a thread for this before, but I seem to can't find it, so I decided to make a new one, but I'm very sorry if it's still around though and it's like a double thread. Talk about anything you like about TMNT tournament Fighters, either the NES, DNES, or Sega Genesis versions or anything else about them. I really wished that there was a sequel for this though. Enjoy. 8) 8)

Or maybe even the SNES version!

(gets pelted by tomatoes)

I own all three versions, and all three are great in their own right.

The best playing version is the SNES one, but my favorite version is on the NES. Those images of the SNES supers in your sig are awesome; where did they come from?

I would also kill for Game Genie codes on the Genesis version to play as Triceraton, Krang's Android, and/or Karai.

[Sonic x 20]

Oops, lol. I ment to say SNES not DNES. Thanks for correcting me man. Also, I agree with you that the images in my sig are off-the-chain!! I found them here in another thread about the TMNT Tournament Fighters Booklet:8) 8)

Man, if there was a sequel for this, then it would probably be the current fighters from all three versions along with new fighters like Leatherhead, Slash, Baxter Stockmen, and many more!! :D

[Jamboree]

Sonic x 20, I see you've found your way here. (assuming your same one from Bombergames and G-faqs) I'm Snapdapa and Evil Ryu919 from those sites.

I hope you can tell by my name how much like Tournament fighters. I own the Gens and SNES versions and I think I've played the NES version once. I think SNES TF is one of the best fighting games I've played, I too would've liked to see them go on and continue making games like these, following in perhaps street fighters steps and having the same engine, just with Turtles characters.

[Ava Collier]

>.<; oh thanks! :P Now I'm going to have those sound effects in my head all day. I can't even describe how many YEARS it's been.
JAMBOREE! JAMBOREE! JAMBOREE! TANGERINE! TAMBOURINE! TRAMPELINE! MEAN & GREEN! STRING-A-BEAN!

Awesome. I got all of my TMNT games secondhand, so I never saw the manuals.

[Karai]

Ah, talk about your blasts from the past. I was so enamoured with this game way back when. Absolutely loved it. I owned the SNES version, played the Genesis and NES versions on emulators. The SNES version is still my favorite.

I would also kill for Game Genie codes on the Genesis version to play as Triceraton, Krang's Android, and/or Karai.

Those should be relatively easy to find actually. I'd go to IGN, they usually have walk-throughs and codes for whatever game you're looking for.

[Ninjinister]

Negative. I've been attempting to find those codes on that site for TMNT TF on Genesis since way back in '99 when it was still Gamesages.

[Karai]

Negative. I've been attempting to find those codes on that site for TMNT TF on Genesis since way back in '99 when it was still Gamesages.
Check your PMs, I went ahead and sent some links that may help.

What's happenin Jamboree!! Yeah, I can tell it because your username is Raph's move Jamboree. Yeah man, If there was a sequel with the same engine, then surely there would be alot more fighters along with the current ones and the tournament would be even tougher. Also, yeah The S, the TMNT Tournament Fighters images are awesome and the way how the turtles look in them kind of reminds you of the turtles right now of the 2k3 turtles. 8) 8)

EDIT:By the way, which fighter do you guys think has the best super move in the SNES version?

I hope this info will help you out ajistheman. ;)

[ajistheman]

thanks sonic, if you are ever in north dakota, you should definitely come over and take me on, Tournament Style

[Sonic x 20]

You're welcome man!! It would be really cool to do it Tournament Style with you in north dakota, but too bad I'm not there, but maybe one day though.;)

Also, from the SNES version of TMNT Tournament Fighters, which stages and themes are your favorite and why?8) 8)

[Wes]

You're welcome man!! It would be really cool to do it Tournament Style with you in north dakota, but too bad I'm not there, but maybe one day though.;)

If you guys are into the emulator scene, you could always try establishing a remote connection with ZSNES... ;)

[Sonic x 20]

Yeah, that would be really cool with ZNES Wes and I don't mind, but the only problem is that I don't have a controller and I can't play TMNT Tournament Fighters as good on a key board.

[Jamboree]

My Fav. Chars. Are Leo, Raph and Shredder.
Leo cuz he's balanced like and his moves look cool, Raph cuz 1 he's my fav. and he's got the right moves for the right situations. And Shredder cuz he's just bad ass and has some mean combos.

I think Leo has the best Ult. attack because it's totally unavoidable, but I hear Mikey's is most damaging if He lands it perfectly. Also that theres a way to combo into it. I'm not sure though.Don's is pretty quick, and I think Wingnut's is ok too.

My Fav. Stage themes are Raph (Cafeteria) and Mikey's (Sky Palace) and Karai's (Metro Train) those songs are like friggin amazing. I especially love when the life bars are near empty and the music get's really fast :D But as far as the bg's go I like Metro Train, that's like one of the coolest stages in a Fighting game I've seen.

[Sonic x 20]

Yeah man, I also love it when the music starts to move alot faster when the match is almost over. It's almost like the time is almost over and it's moving that fast along with the gameplay. I also agree about Metro Train as well. It is really cool to see Karai spinning while she's moving while the train is moving like she'll never fall and has perfect balance of her spinning. I love all of the fighters and my favorite one is Mikey!! The really cool thing is that each fighter's theme and stage fits them and their personality really well. 8) 8)

A few images from NES, Genesis, & SNES

2. NES

3. SNES

Also: Genesis version involves a Story Battle in which the Turtles face evil clones of their friends and themselves; SNES version's Story Battle is against the other characters and then against Karai; NES version has the turtles facing each other in a tournament to see who is better to face Shredder.

[Coola Yagami]

does anyone have any sprite rips or at least a pic of Karai from the Genesis TMNT TF?

[Jester]

Was Karai in the Genesis version?

[Coola Yagami]

She was the final boss after Krang.

[Jester]

The question is can you make it that far. The Genesis version of TF is handing me my toocuss.

[Coola Yagami]

Only once and on its easiest setting... Thing is, Triceraton is so damn %&$?@%&!!! hard that when you actually beat him, you realize that Krang and Karai pale in comparison.

[Jester]

Yeah, I'm getting my butt handed to me by everyone.

[Spitfire]

The Sega version pissed me off cause you couldn't play as the villains....

[Ninjinister]

My best friend and I used to sit and play TMNT TF for Genesis nonstop until we were able to beat it. We both beat it probably half a dozen times each.

[Sonic x 20]

Yeah, it's pretty tough to beat TMNT Tournament Fighters on the Genesis. I was lucky to finally beat Karai one time. Man, Triceraton does like this bite attack that takes a bunch of health off or even defeats you right on the spot with it.

[Wes]

Maaaaan that Genesis version was one of the cheapest fighting games of all time! I actually played it on hard with Game Genie codes so the CPU opponents started with 25% power (while I had the full 100%) and STILL got whipped. I ended up having to pick Casey Jones and do that stupid hockey stick spindance move to kill them.

That Triceraton was freaking sick.

[Ninjinister]

Is that why the bosses were unplayable in the Genesis version, I wonder? They'd be way too cheap?

[Sonic x 20]

That might be the reason why the bosses weren't playable or they just weren't. Rat King and Karai were playable in the SNES version and were pretty cheap too.

[TerranigmaFreak]

I don't think Rat King was cheap in the SNES game, I found him pretty lame actually. Very disappointing boss IMO. Karai was cheap though.

[Coola Yagami]

That's true, Rat King basically played like a regular character when playable. Though he did have this sweet death move that the CPU version never seemed to use.

[shuriken]

I think Karai was the most ridiculously difficult boss EVER!! Krang was lame. Triceraton was very hard as well. I have yet to play the SNES or NES versions but I really want to. The thing that really sucks about TF is that to get the "good ending" to save Master Splinter you have to pass it on the Hardest mode. I used up a whole month of my summer for that.

The same applies to Street Fighter. Also, you don't have to beat the hardest mode to see the ending, all you need to do is beat the game at difficulty 4 or above to see the ending.

BTW, does anyone know that Aska is um... sexed up in the Japanese version of the game? Her outfit's slightly skimpier and her win pose is similar to that of Mai from Fatal Fury.

[Coola Yagami]

Finally found an ol sprite rip of Karai from the Genesis version of Tournament Fighters.

[DonatelloDomeHead31]

And compare that one to the Karai in the SNES; which one's more difficult?

[Coola Yagami]

Genesis version easy. I can kill SNES Karai after a few tries. Genesis Karai will make you throw the controller at the screen. And even then she's not as hard as that damn Triceraton.

[shuriken]

The same applies to Street Fighter. Also, you don't have to beat the hardest mode to see the ending, all you need to do is beat the game at difficulty 4 or above to see the ending.

Well I did pass it on difficulty four and Karai said "You have only defeated my clone blah blah" and I literally threw thae controller at my Genesis. So I decided to go all the way and just beat it in what Level 8? I don't know whether to feel proud of myself or look back in regret. Well at least it wasn't as bad as Justice League Task Force.

[DonatelloDomeHead31]

Someone had on this thread a few images of the Turtles using their powers and Aska was pictured too; well I found one of Shredder if anyone would like to see. because the site is gone, i found an animated gif instead

[Sonic x 20]

Here are somemore of the TMNT Tournament Fighters Pics too:8) 8)

[DonatelloDomeHead31]

Rat King's looks different because his fights take place at the Channel 6 Studios and i don't see the studios in the background; nevertheless, great images and good job posting them :D

[Revan]

Wow sweet pics! I never really liked that game but those pics are cool

[Coola Yagami]

where did you get the images of Karai and Rat King??? They weren't in the manuals.

Why does Karai in the pic have the super smexy ass that the actual game sprite doesn't have?

[Sonic x 20]

I'm not sure with the change of Karai from her pic to her sprite though.

Haha I love that people still use my old SNES book scans from my jacked up booklet. The tears in the Mikey one give it away.

LOL, yeah man, I was lucky to find the pics in your thread and decided to share them in this one. I also didn't even know that there was a pic for both Rat King and Karai until I found them. It would've been really cool if the turtles used their powers from TMNT Tournament Fighters in their 2k3 show. 8) 8)

I never seen that Karai Manga pic either .. S.X20 n' Spitfire.. thank you so much for posting that .. ,DUDE !! GOD WOW !!

!!

The Sega Gen- version is so tricky,T .. i kind have a live/hate relation with it..

.. i did not know that if you beat her on lower levels she blabs that !!



.. i've yet to kick Karai out ..

[odupianist]

Cyber Shredder looks really cool in his.

I thought his name was Chrome Dome not Cyber Shredder.

[DonatelloDomeHead31]

Found more Tournament Fighters pictures; these are from the Genesis version:

[Sonic x 20]

I thought his name was Chrome Dome not Cyber Shredder.

No, I was refering to Shredder(who is named Cyber Shredder in TMNT Tournament Fighter), not Chrome Dome the robot, but thanks for mentioning it though man. Also, you're welcome tOkKa!! I think if you look closely in Rat King;s pic, he's at Studio 6, but you can't see much if he's there because it's dark. Also, did anyone notice in Karai's pic in the background on it that the signs say "Turtle Air Port" and "East Turtle City", lol. :lol: 8)

[Leogeddon]

oh man, i remember fighting karai on the train, it was intense, i remember when i was still new at the game, i chose Donatello and just kept spinning his bo until i got the dragon attack, then after practicing for a long time, i was able to beat the entire story mode in hard difficulty with Mikey, Leo, Raph, Don (of course), and just about everyone else... I played the SNES version with Donatello vs Armaddon on it... Was that his name? It's been years since i played... almost a decade. :(

[Sonic x 20]

Yeah man, I did the same thing when I first chose Donatello using his bo spinning attack. I can play really good as Raph on the highest difficulty level and I need to master the other turtles as well. Karai is a tough one to beat on the SNES version if you don't know what you are doing when going against her and I forgot how many times she defeated me on the Sega Genesis version.

Yeah it was different for each different console. Mikey would probably be in a Gameboy or Gamegear version.

[LetsKickShell]

Some of the move names I got mixed up when I first played it. Here's a list of what i thought they were saying and the actual name.
Raphael:Tambourine(Jamboree)
Chest Custard(Chest Buster)
Comb!(His throw or back slam)
Shredder: Forest Butcher!(His running uppercut)
Michelangelo: BLUE(His throw)
:lol:

[Spitfire]

"Chest Custard" is the winner there

[LetsKickShell]

Lmao yeah I was like 8 years old running around the house trying to do a foward cartwheel kick on my parents while yelling Chest Custard.:lol:

[DonatelloDomeHead31]

when Donatello shouts "Ground Claw," sometimes it sounds like he is saying GroundChuck, one of the turtles' enemies...but that's what my hearing hears.

[sdp]

I finally got a chance to play all three games. I always wanted the SNES version as a kid, didn't even know the others existed. After viewing videos online though the games didn't look that great and any reviews on youtube were negative, but I'm glad they were just AVGN rip offs just ripping for no reason.

The NES version is pretty good for what it is, a NES fighter. It has flaws but its still one of the best fighters on the NES.

The Genesis version is oddly amusing. The graphics look bad, the backgrounds look boring and monotonous, the music is mostly forgetable. Only two buttons for a fighter is lame, the taunt button is useless and should have been another attack button but I guess thats mostly the Genesis fault for having 3 buttons but SF and MK did good. The Genesis actually has decent fighters so this games flaws can't be overlooked. The voices are horrible since the Genesis can't pull them off but I find them fun to listen to, "Oh yeah baby". But as a turtle fan this game is still fun to play even if its not that great of a fighter. The story is generic TMNT game story, the game is pretty hard but theres cheap moves you can use to win cheaply, and its not worth finishing the game on the hardest difficulty, Karai just says she can't believe she lost and you get this image at the end:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0603/sdphost/tmntgenesis.jpg


The SNES version is actually pretty fun. Its no Street Fighter but any turtle fan would love to button smash their way through this game. The game instead of using all 6 buttons only uses 4 kind of like the King of Fighter games. The mutant selection is a bit odd but cool as well. The stages are actually nice to look at and the story mode is a bit better than normal TMNT game standard. Its definitely the best although I had fun with all three versions. These games had a lot of potential they could have been classic fighting games but at least they are decent, so no big complains.

[DonatelloDomeHead31]

I can honestly say that I've never played the NES Tournament Fighters, but i've seen screen caps and videos of it. Is there a difference between the SNES version and the NES version besides the fact that you fight in a Tournament?

[A little *too* Raph]

I have only played the SNES version, but I remember whipping the pants off of everyone I played with Chrome Dome because he had the super long reach.

All three versions are completely different in terms of story, locales, and representation of characters.

i love that game i wish i still had it Mike was my fav in the game i used mike's dragon breath on everyone all the time. and i could finish the game on level 7 just using mikes uppercut.

[hadouken22]

Used to use Ray Fillet on the Sega version and all you had to do was hold down and use a turbo controlling for kick. Killed everything all the way ^^.

Some of those combos were a pain to execute on genesis tho...

[AquaParade]

Can someone post the Shredder gif for me? (:

Thanks Donatello!

[DonatelloDomeHead31]

Your Welcome. Cyber Shredder, ah, to me one of the annoying enemies to face in the game with the difficulty raised.

[Canadian Turtle]

OH MAN I have had all the other turtle games for a long time but just grabbed this one. I love playing TMNT games but have never been a good gamer on any game so needless to say I have major blisters on my thumbs and I can't make it past the first levels on easy. I suck......

As far as I can tell Rat King doesn't show up unless you are on level 3 or harder. Is this true? In which case does anyone have suggestions as to how to get good at this game for a looser like me?? Which turtle is the best to use? I find landing their special moves is really hard to do.

Der uh... huh? Are you referring to Story Mode? Because I was playing it on the easiest difficulty last night and I fought Rat King.

[Canadian Turtle]

SWEET! Sorry if I sound stupid but I swear I read that someplace in the online game guide or something. I have actually not tried it on easy because I was hell bent on getting medium down. Thanks!

[DonatelloDomeHead31]

All I remember was that if the difficulty is on 3 or higher, you face Kairi at the end. If it's under 3, you get a letter from her saying that you're not worthy enough to face her.

[Jester]

SA did a half hearted review of all 3.

Man, I really need to figure out the best way to cap video of a videogame, so I could do my own review.

[A little *too* Raph]

How many people turned the game speed all the way up and played through like that? I used to play that way all the time, and it was actually harder for me to go back and play at normal speed

When I was a kid if I ever made it to her she handed my ass to me 6 different ways. I haven't tried playing it since I was little though.

[Jester]

I barely make it past freakin Chrome Dome.

[Canadian Turtle]

I barely make it past freakin Chrome Dome.

No kidding!!! I have been working on it since I last posted, MAN this a freakin hard game!! On 0 I can make it to Shredder and then I get my ass kicked.... Still working on it...

I am only good at doing Don's special attacks.

[Jester]

I got to Aska on the story mode, by the skin of my teeth. I bairly beat CD, but I didn't touch the in game options, I guess i should.

Ah Corey didn't tell me that there was going to be a TMNT review. Dude, they trash Destin in those comments left behind.

[Jester]

I kinda agree, except with the "New guy sounds gay!" comments. It almost makes it seem like a lesser game since they handed it off to Destin.

[GK Punk]

I don't think it was so much "handed off" to him, as much as they wanted him to host VGV. They should let Corey do it. :o

The review wasn't very good. I mean it gave you a taste off all three platforms and had some good screen caps but the guy talked the game down a lot! Just his whole tone was negative.

I was just playing street fighter two and as classic as that game is I think TF takes 1st in fighting games for me!!

[GK Punk]

Apparently, Destin is a huge TMNT fan.

[Jester]

Corey fill you in?

[GK Punk]

Yeah lol. I guess they talked about it on the podcast sometime recently. He even watched the 2k3 series until FF.

I'm wondering with Wingnut as a playable character in the SNES game if Screwloose, that little mosquito is located on Wingnut's back while he fights.

[Canadian Turtle]

I can't say that I noticed him. I might be wrong though. They played with the designs a bit I think. Especially with the rat king

[Ninjinister]

Screwloose is not in the game at all. Well, I can't recall Wingnut's ending, so I can't say for sure if he was in it, but I doubt it.

[Coola Yagami]

Nope, no Screwloose in the game or his ending. Wingnut's ending was one of the lamest...

[Lady Venus]

I hate fightin' Karai. She was so hard. But I beat her & won. That was many moons ago.

[DonatelloDomeHead31]

Funny you should mention "playing the designs" of the characters because they made the turtles eyes white like in the comics. But with that sense, Donatello should have been brown just like in Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time.

One character, "Aska" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles_characters#As ka), is only in the "Tournament Fighters" video game. If you introduced her to a TMNT universe (for some kind of fanfic or something), which TMNT universe would it be and what background would she had? What do you think?

I think I had this on the Sega Genesis when I was a kid (it was so very long ago; forgive my faded memories!). What I remember most is p*ssing my bros off by playing as April. I would sweep them, then just do throw after throw after throw to beat them. They had no chance to recover. :evilgrin: It's how I beat Krang & Karai and all that (probably on the easiest level...I am no gamer!). I remember Raph's drill-like move, and didn't Mikey have an attack with stinky feet or something? Also vaguely recall Sisyphus and Ray Fillet, too.

Question: Why is Raph saying "jamboree" at all?

Having April as a fighter is probably inspired by the Archie comics, where April is instructed in martial arts by Splinter.

Though haven't played it for some time, I have the SNES version. And at one time rented the Genesis one. Never did the NES one.

But, from what I've read, the NES version was the only one that didn't have an exclusive character.

Do you mean exclusive as in made especially for the game, or exclusive as in did not appear in other versions of the game?

Right, a character just in the game (and not part of another Turtles medium -- comics, cartoon, etc.).

[Ninjinister]

Okay, that is correct, then. The roster for the NES version includes the four Turtles, Casey, Hothead, and Shredder - nobody we hadn't seen prior.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Were this video game ever an arcade game at first?

[Ninjinister]

Negative. It was only on Genesis, Super NES, and NES.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

I don't understand why they did a NES version, the VS fighting games worked better on later consoles. When the games were released in 1993-1994 SNES had already existed for some years, and NES was dying. I remember reading video game magazine at that time and after the arrival of SNES most following NES games got bad reviews.

I guess since Manhatten project did so good in terms of sales Konami thought they could recreate the success on all three consoles. Apparently the Nes game did not follow that plan.

The Manhatten Project is from 1991-1992 when the NES was still a major video game console.

[oldmanwinters]

For the record, I thought TMNT: Tournament Fighters was one of the better games on the NES. After, how many other fighting games were there for the system? I thought the graphics looked nice, and the controls were respectably tight enough.

Yes, but I can imagine many who didn't read Archie and only watched the 1987 cartoon didn't know Hothead/Warrior Dragon at that time.

[Ninjinister]

One could say the same for the likes of Armaggon, War - and Karai if they didn't read Mirage.

I agree. Especially Karai. I would like to see Karai in the 1987 cartoon.

I know the Manhatten project is from '92. It was just such a great game for the Nes maybe they thought they could cash in on one last TMNT game for the NES, but it wasn't the case. 93 was pretty much the end of the line for NES and the Rise of the SNES.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

They also had three different versions for each console (I hate console wars, I wish it was only one video game consoles and the companies fought over selling the games).

That's how capitalism works dude. I also hate the fact that some truly awesome games on the SNES were never released on the Genesis and vice versa.

It was the same with the videotape format war.

[DonatelloDomeHead31]

I saw someone mention Hothead in the NES Tournament Fighters. What does he look like in the game and is there a comic/image of him anywhere because i've never heard of him.

Looking back on it, Karai was a particularly random choice for the game. That, and when I played it as a kid, I thought she was a man.

HAHA:lol: That sucks for Karai.

He is also known as the Warior Dragon.

It makes me happy to see things like Wii's Virtual Console just for that reason. Now if only the good TMNT games would get released on it.

As evidenced by the fact that they have released multiple versions of the same game on Virtual Console (Sonic the Hedgehog, Genesis and Master System versions; Street Fighter II Turbo/Special Championship Edition, SNES and Genesis versions), I don't see why they couldn't have all three Tournament Fighters on VC.

Yep, but the problem is Konami has only released the 1st NES game and no others as of yet. Hope that changes soon.

[shuriken]

I'm pretty sure they'll add the rest of the games.
