Hardest Boss

[Redmage1987]

Who do you think is the hardest boss in all the Ninja Turtle games you play?

Personally I think the hardest boss battle for me has to go to the final battle in TMNT II: The Arcade Game. Mainly Krang, but having to fight him and Shredder both in one go can be tough if you're low on lives. I think all the other bosses from that game are pushovers though, lol.

I can't say who is the hardest, but as a kid I distinctly dreaded the Leatherhead fight in The Manhattan Project. The guy was so fast and so cheap! I would usually burn my first continue in his sewer level... which would send me back to the beginning in single player mode and force me to do the whole thing over again.

Granted, his entrance was all kinds of awesome.

True that. I remember Leather Head was always one to put a pretty good dent in my lives when I was younger. I can't really say I think any of the bosses from the first game are hard, especially if you stock up on scrolls. That's just my opinion though, lol.

Leather Head is an SOB, I used to think that Bebop from Manhatten project was the hardest boss, but I would use Raph to beat him fast and easy

Considering they weren't final bosses, LH from III and Slash from IV were wicked hard.

Fun hard though, not annoyingly difficult.

I would say Slash in Turtles In Time on normal or hard mode. It takes almost an entire continue in that one level.

The Shredder in the Arcade version of Turtles In Time is hard compared to the ease in the SNES port. I can't believe how easy even if time consuming the final battle is. In the Arcade its like trading blow for blow.

Shredder from the third Game Boy game is also really difficult, considering that after you beat him the first time, he comes back for another round (and that's after beating the four previous bosses before facing Shredder).

I'd say for the first NES game, I'd say the third level double-boss is the most difficult due to the quick jumping and constant, random attacks. Fortunately, you can farm up on pizzas right before the fairly easy final room and farm up again in the first room of the next level. The Technodrome itslef is almost as hard, but is more difficult overall in terms of preserving energy since you need to pass through a difficult cave, then enter a room with those silver blaster enemies, and there are only two pizzas in the Technodrome.

I always thought that General Traag was the most difficult boss for The Arcade Game due to fast firing and the unpredictable use of dropping his gun to attack you, since Shredder is easy once someone's helmet is off and Krang's attack patterns are fairly predictable, and is especially easy with Don.

Why does everyone think Slash from Turtles In Time is so hard? He's insanely easy all you have to do is hit him in the back.

For some reason I was struggling to beat Metal head in Turtles in Time....I don't know bc I beat the xbox arcade version on survival mode......:ohwell:

[DonatelloDomeHead31]

I stick with the enemy that I've said over and over: Slash! in Ninja Turtles IV Turtles in Time. On the Hard difficulty, you got to really watch him as you fight, otherwise he'll defeat your turtle.

Another enemy, now that I'm thinking about, that can give a player trouble is Dirtbag in Ninja Turtles III the Manhattan Project. I'm told he's tough to beat.

Dirt bag is pretty easy for me. I jump back and forth on the subway tracks and platform until he get close and then I strike!!:shifty:

Judging game by game for all the TMNT games I really play over and over, I think it would be something like this for me...

TMNT 1 (NES)

Well, so long as you have scrolls then none of the bosses are hard. :tlol:

:tcool: If you don't use scrolls though, I would definitely say the Technodrome is the most difficult because of all the stuff you have to go through to get to its weak point. Easiest boss has got to either go to the Giant Mouser or Rocksteady.

TMNT II: The Arcade Game (NES)

Like I said before, I think the hardest in this game has got to go to the final battle with Krang & Shredder. Shredder isn't too bad for me, it's mostly Krang. I have an ok strategy against him, but I think I can probably find a better one. :P

The thing about the bosses in this game is that if you know where to get them to go and the pattern for jump kicking them, then none of the bosses put up a fight at all. :lol:

TMNT III: The Manhatten Project (NES)

I definitely got to hand this to Leather Head. I know really good strategies for all the bosses in this game that make them easy. Leather Head can still make me lose a life though. :tgrumble:

:tsmile: Seems like for most bosses in this game, my strategy revolves around waiting for them to do a certain attack and then using the turtles special to avoid the attack and damage the boss/mini-boss at the same time. I can't do that so much with Leather Head, which is why I think he is the most difficult for me.

TMNT IV: Turtles in Time (SNES)

:tmad: I've got to give this to Slash, he's the only boss in the game that I think "Oh boy, here we go.." when the fight starts. I usually start by standing behind him and swinging like crazy to get a pre-emptive strike on him. He's so annoying because you can only start getting damage on him by hitting him from behind. I'm sure I can do better against him, I just need to develop a better strategy for him.

Besides Slash, it seems like a lot of the other bosses follow some basic patterns (Hit 3 times, jump over dash attack, repeat, etc). I do like the Team up boss battles with Tokka & Rahzar and Bebop & Rocksteady. The battle against regular Shredder is also unique and fun. :twink:

TMNT: Hyperstone Heist (Genesis)

:tconfuse: I think I'm going to have to give this to Tatsu. The endless amounts of Foot Soliders and keeping up with him going from one side of the room to the other can be a handful until you learn a good way to keep up with him.

While I love Hyperstone Heist, it felt to me like most of the boss battles were childs play. Leather Head & Rocksteady basically follow the same pattern of hitting them a couple of times and then dodging their charge attacks. Baxter isn't too hard either. Even Tatsu isn't that bad once you have learned a good way to stay caught up with him. :teek:
