I Beat A TMNT Game Thread
 

A suggestion of the eternal wisdom of oldmanwinters inspired the idea of 'Dromers having a thread to tell us when they beat a TMNT game. A few through the years took ages to beat. Not just the first wave but the second wave had a few trying times for us gamers too. I am lucky enough to beat all of them except the original NES game. How about the rest of you? Did it take you until your high school days or even young adulthood to beat one? Share your stories here and be sure to drop by when you do to share your triumph!

man I had a rough time with the first NES game too, as a kid. I never have finished it still. I got pretty far, once the city opened up but some of the things were just to hard, and the controls do kinda stink imo.



BUT I LOVE THE MUSIC FROM THE NES GAME lol

I still need to spend a few hours on TMNT2: Battle Nexus.

Not that I think it's an especially good game, just that I probably owe it to myself to play every turtles game I can get my hands on.

Well, where do I begin. I have beaten ninja turtles 4: Turtles in Time (with all 4 turtles individually & on the Hard difficulty).

I beat the arcade game...on the Nintendo Wii though--but i think that still counts.

and for the tournament fighters, after many attempts, I beat Karai for the SNES with Donatello (i didn't cheat, but I had to find some way to beat her).

That's my victories, and I'm sticking to them.

I just got done playing Turtles in Time that is unlockable on Mutant Nightmare. Beat it with Raph so I could just kind of chill and relax. Only died 7 times during the play through.

Back in the day, I thought I'd never be able to beat Tournament Fighters on Genesis. I was fairly new to the fighting game genre, so I thought it was so cheap that the CPU could pull off special moves instantly while I had to do complex button combinations and even "charge" certainly moves for a precious couple of seconds.

I had yet to learn the meaning of the term "broken," but it was an apt description for Triceraton and Karai. I finally beat them with April O'Neil's equally cheap sliding foot sweep (CPU doesn't always account for the sliding momentum and fails to block it). It set up a series of close-range German suplex slams.

Even today, I can't say that I've beaten that game with many characters, even on normal difficulty. Raphael is about the only other character with which I've had great success, but his power drill technique can leave him open for a devastating grapple by the stronger characters.

Try this:

"Play as Ray Fillet. Crouch. Use his strong kick. Win game. (He slides forward and the AI doesn't recognize the sliding part, so it never blocks)"

TV Tropes put that out there, recently, so see if it works.

Been working on the Super NES version, myself. Thus far, I have achieved on the highest setting (7) and no continues (or, actually, to beat 500,000 in order to get the "King of Kings" graphics) with War, Chrome Dome, Leo and Don. Working with Aska and Shredder, next. And by fluke, I'm sure, I actually managed to get a "Perfect" on Level 7 Karai with Armaggon. I have no idea how I did this, but it happened. I'll try to work on the other TF games in the ensuing days, weeks, etc.

I'll mention about the NES games in another post, but I wanted to get this tangent out of the way, first.

I havn't played all the games yet, but I've finished a few. Turtles in Time is my favorite, I've finished it countless times. I've also finished TMNT 2 for the NES a few times (I think), as well as Re-Shelled and the TMNT Arcade Game for the XBLA. I've also finished Battle Nexus, with all missions complete and all treasure chests found. I actually wrote a complete walkthrough for that game, it's up on GameFAQS if anyone would like to check it out. Oh, and I've played Smash-Up quite a lot as well, but I wouldn't say I've "finished" it. Also, I do own Fall of the Footclan, Tournament Fighters (SNES version) and the original NES game, but I've never finished them.

I've beaten TMNT 4: Turtles in Time and TMNT 2. I have never made it pass the water level on TMNT 1 on NES. However, I plan on spending trying to beat it if I can get the patience and spare time.

For those that want to play, here are links to play several of the games on VirtualNES.com. Enjoy!

I beat all 3 GB tmnt games.

A couple of quick questions:

First of I am always weary about playing online games because of problems and viruses that usually come. Is it safe?
Secondly,is that the SNES Turtles In TIme or the inferior Arcade version? Got Manhatten Project? Thanks in advance.

NES 1989: Made it to the room before Shredder without cheats, beat it using Game Genie around high school a dozen or so years ago.

NES II: Beat it about six months after I got it, and then beat it most of the time thereafter.

NES III: Made it to the first battle with Shredder and lost without cheating, but only started playing last year and only played several times.

SNES IV: Only played a couple times and have not played all the way through, but made it as far as the first fight with Shredder.

I've never played any other versions except for Tournament Fighters, which I'm still trying to figure out.

Yes it's safe, It's the SNES version, and here's Manhatten Project http://www.retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/4201/

I've beaten Fall of the Foot Clan for the Game Boy...

What?

The only Turtles Game I have beat.

Don't mind them. It's a hoot, and a great way to kill an hour. (I play it just for the Technodrome graphic at the end.) Conversely, "Back From the Sewers" I almost want to throw it into the sewers. I can't beat it in Hard mode, as I usually do. Bah. So, I go with Normal mode, and leave it at that.

More impressive is beating "Radical Rescue" several times in recent years. I understand the frustration as I've read in comments on other TMNT blogs, as it isn't a cakewalk, but it isn't Nintendo Hard, either. (Although, that may be my gamer experience talking, and what is easy for one player can be quite difficult for another.) Besides, you have to like a game where Mike is the center star, and you need him most. You're dead against Cyber Shredder if you don't use Mike's hover ability constantly. Learned it the hard way.

Plus, it is the most ambitious of the GB games, and the closest we got to an early TMNT version of Metroid.

Fall of The Foot Clan for Gameboy was the easiest of all the TMNT Games with exception to story mode of TMNT:Smash Up. Its the Technodrome gang and Baxter Stockman, The Fly. If memory serves any level could be selected and the settings were unique. I think Shredder was fought in the Hudson Bay and Baxter The Fly was fought outsdie a warehouse after going through traffic. It is pure fun!

I tried the links above and its complicated as far as the controls are concerned but fun nonetheless. After I died the first time at Rat King I had to stop. Are there unlimited continues on Turtles In Time? Anyone aware if Manhattan Project is available on that site. I could not find a list of games for the NES port.

Yeah, the controllers can be a pain on the vnes site. It takes some getting used to. As for the extra lives I think you can adjust the number of lives in the options up to a max of 7 (I think). But I believe you still get just the 3 continues which equates to 21 lives in total. Playing on vnes I made it to Leatherhead and used up all my lives. It's harder on a keyboard when compared to a controller.

There is a way to buy a SNES USB controller on ebay and then download a 3rd party software to configure it with VNES.com. However, I'm a little hesitant to do so until I find out some more info on the software.

I'm curious about Smash-Up, if only for the underground level. Gee, wonder why. Heh.

It may be an unspoken rule that Rat King in video game form is hard. He's more of a pain than I thought in "Turtles In Time," and in Super Nes Tour Fighters? Oh, dear God. Not impossible, as if you have a wider range of attack, like Leo's katana, Don's strong punch or Chrome Dome's limbs. Or hey, just keep him pinned and blocking until you can do your Super Desperation move. I've done that plenty with him.

Anyway, I finally beat the Level 7 Tour mode as Shredder, yesterday, with no continues... and was only 2,900 points short of beating the 500,000 marker and getting the "King of Kings" graphic. Rats.

I am a harsh critic on Smash Up because of the false advertising on Ubisfot. I remember looking weekly throughout the summer of 2009 for the characters involved and all we got was the 2007 movie with a suped up utrom and Fugitiod. Not to mention those Rabbids something I never heard of before and the needless cross promotion. I was disappointed in the character roster and the ease in beating the story mode. The graphic were great and all but not benig one to play online and feeling lead on it was only The Technodrome in my favorite location that was fun in that game. :( Despite all that and the fact it was Ubisoft that put out promotion not Mirage venom got spat on Dan Berger. I wrote in to to counter the emails he was getting. I appreciate the idea and concept but did not care for the product because of expectations.

Let's see, in no particular order...
1-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(1989) For Nes was by far the hardest game I've beaten, excluding Batman for Nes. Loved the music, the levels and the trippy random enemies (flame guy, meiosis-man, and chainsaw guy take the cake). I hate some of the jumps and the hallway of death right before Shredder.

2-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade or part 2 for Nes was pretty fun, both which I have beaten. I liked the Shogun level the best with the foot zombie things.

3-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Manhatten Project was by far the most fun side scroller one. Dirtbag being my favorite villain to shell shock.

4-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4: Turtles in Time on both the Arcade and Snes were fun, I like the Snes one better, although it seemed a bit short to me.

5-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist was kind of a Turtles in Time clone, although I think it plays a lot smoother and is a bit harder.

6-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the footclan was fun to play if you had half an hour to kill.

7-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Radical Rescue is probably the best TMNT Gameboy game IMO, for the simplefact that it was not only difficult, but each turtle had to be utilized to get to certain areas and rescue your allies, even if the boss fights were few and far in between.

8-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tournament fighters(Genesis) Is by far the cheapest game on this list. The best thing about it was taunting and seeing an instant replay of your defeat or success. The 3 bosses were either really easy, or impossible. I've only ever passed it with April using only the slide kick and suplex. It wasn't as good as the Snes in my opinion.

9-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(2003) GBA Pretty fun game, love the fact that each TMNT gets different levels and bosses. The final level with the Elite Gaurds, Hun and SHredder is my fave

10-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Battle Nexus(PS2) Kind of cool to sift through each turtle. Playing with a friend was a hit or miss, depending on how much your buddy sucked. The camera was your worst enemy, and fighting against Usagi and Unlocking the original arcade game(albeit with terrible music) was pretty awesome.

11-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Battle Nexus(GBA) It was nice to actually be a ninja for once and use guerilla tactics to take out foes and find your weapons, but after the 6th world of having to do this it got kind of tedious, I did enjoy the battles mode and boss fights though.

12-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3(Mutant Nightmare PS2) Much of the same in terms of gameplay and enemies, it was cool to have computer operated TMNT to back you up but sometimes they also took much needed pizza and drinks. Unlocking Turtles in Time was cool too.

13-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Smash Up. What could I say that hasn't been said? Roster sucked, movesets were fairly limited as were the stages. But it's not a bad game overall IMO, it's fun to play with a few buddies, just like Smash Brothers. Plus I always get a kick seeing enemies get eaten by that damn crocodile (or is it an alligator?)

The best TMNT game that I never completed was Manhatten Missions. truly underrated game.
Sorry about that little rant there, I think I went overboard.

Question: How do throw foot soldiers at Shredder in the Technodrome? I tried it on the link and killed 140 robots before I died and only hit him by luck three times.

Ram or run into the Foot Soldier and press the attack button as you connect against him. Usually, the controller will interpret as "Throw at screen," though, it may also knock the Soldier down if you don't press the attack button at the right time. It works even against the tonfa Soldiers, as you'll be dealing with them in Hard mode against Shredder. Besides, throwing at the screen gets the most points per Soldier (3), so I do it a lot, anyway.

Hope that helps, as the throwing techinque isn't as hard, once you master the ram technique first.

Well, I've only played 3 turtle games my entire life. One was for the Nintendo, but I was so young I barley got past about the third level. I did beat Turtles in Time for the Super when I was about 8. Took a few tries.

Now the one game I owned on the SNES was Tournament Fighters. I beat that game so many times. Hardest thing to me was fighting Karai and having the speed and the difficulty all the way up. My main was Raph. I'm actually going to have to go find that game at my mom's house.

I could look it up, but I never figured out how to accurately do Leo's front flip sword slash move..still don't know how to this day.

I played TMNT 2: The Arcade Game with my bro at Chuckie Cheese. It took awhile, but we were finally able to take down Shredder. We had a lot of fun playing that game. :) Also beat Turtles in Time on medium mode.

I beat Turtles In Time off the SNES virtural simular this morning. In the arcade version Krang in Neon Night Riders gave me a fit but was pretty easy if I am able to get out of the way the swift kick. Super Shredder was surprsingly easy to beat if with that cheap trick that takes a full life. He was much hearder in the arcade game. The hardest part was beating Shredder when throwing foot soliders at him is the name of the game and Slash with his blocking technique. Pure fun! I have played the arcade game several times and beat it but its been years since I played the superior SNES version since I never have owned a SNES.

Hey if youre still having trouble throwing the foot soldiers at Shredder in Turtles in Time, try this:
Hit them with a normal strength attack once so they kind of bend over and stop moving for a second. Then while they are hunched over press and hold the attack button again. This will result in either the back and forth smash or the flip throw up to the screen.

I hope you know what i mean, its kind of hard to describe. But playing on the snes i can get through that boss level by throwing practically every foot soldier i come in contact with using this strategy. Hope it helps :tgrin:

I just remembered a story from long ago.

Years ago, my friend would come along with my family and i and we'd go to florida to see some friends of my folks.

Anyways, that's not the point of the story.

On the last day...my friend and I would go to a holiday inn with my folks' friend and after breakfast, we'd play at the arcade.

At the arcade, they had Ninja Turtles Turtles in Time! We played it (my friend and i) but could not get past the Prehistoric Turtlesaurus level.

Ah memories.

P.S: That game (Ninja Turtles Turtles in Time) had more of those yellow foot soldiers with the green boomerang-things. I HATED that type of the Foot.

The only turtles game I haven't beaten yet is tournament fighters. Snes and genesis. The stupid ridiculous difficulty will haunt my dreams forever...

I remeber beating Hyperstone Heist awhile back.

The game was fun even if short but I loved the Guantlet level at the end. The biggest complaint is why have Rocksteady and not Bebop?

I was wondering the same thing. Fighting Rocksteady, I was thinking to myself, 'Where the heck is that crazy mutant warthog'? But I was actually kinda glad he didn't show, when playing Turtles in Time and fighting them both, it took me forever to beat them. I had to call my brother to help.

Slash is the headache. I found them easy to beat. Last week when I played it on the simulator I hit Rocksteady 3/4ths of the time and both were beaten when Rocksteady fell. The hardest boss I ever faced was Super Shredder in the Arcade version. If it was not for the life draining shot the SNES version would be almost easy.

I forget that a new generation has not had much exposure to Bebop and Rocksteady. They are cult favorites but were denied exposure due to Laird. Would you like to get to know these two through future use or have them confined to one version?

Oy, Slash, yeah I remember that level. Took longer then Bebop & Rocksteady, but then again, it was easier to beat them in Normal mode than hard.

I belive they could make a comeback, Eastman did so with them in the new comics. Make them like they were in the OT mini-series, and BAM, you got some pretty awesome Hench Mutants.

Question 1. Any chance of Manhattan Project being uploaded on the Virtural NES?

Question 2. What is the hardest TMNT game to beat? I would say Ninja Turtles (1989) for Nintendo. The very first was also the hardest one to beat.

I beat TMNT 2 The Arcade Game, Turtles In Time, TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan for Game Boy, TMNT 1 and 2 (Battle Nexus) for Game Boy Advance, TMNT 3 Mutant Nightmare for Nintendo DS, and TMNT 1, 2 and 3 for Gamecube.

I also completely won the Battle Nexus in the TMNT 2 Gamecube game.

I could only beat the first TMNT NES game with game genie, never without it. There's no doubt in my mind that's the hardest TMNT game that was ever made, especially since that's the only game I can think of that the Angry Video Game Nerd complained about.

Beat mostly all the Turtles games. The only one that has an asterisk is the first NES Turtles. The ONLY way I beat it was with the emulator and the oh so wonderful SAVE STATE function.....

Oh, man....

On record I recall from childhood to present...

TMNT - Beat it as a kid (Did the 99 scrolls for all four turtles thing a magazine told me about)

TMNT: The Arcade - Spent like over $5 to do it as a kid, but I did it.

TMNT II: The Arcade Game - Never got past the Polar Bear boss

TMNT III: The Manhattan Project - Still working on it as I never played it much but got to the third stage so far...

TMNT IV: Turtles in Time - Beat it on Hard once many years ago and it was indeed HARD.

TMNT: Turtles in Time (Arcade) - Got to the mud monster boss...

TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan - I recall beating it as a kid, but it was so long ago.

TMNT II: Back from the Sewers - Pretty sure I beat it...

TMNT III: Radical Rescue - Never played it. >_>

TMNT: The Hyperstone Heist - Beat it on Easy...way harder than TMNT IV on Hard to me.

Never beat any of the modern stuff nor the Tournament Fighters as they didn't interest me as much sadly...

Well I am officially done with school for the summer after 2marrow, I think I will try to beat the first three NES games, I beat Manhattan project, but never beat the 2nd with out cheats and never beat the first one period.

Got a question to ask you: when you played The Hyperstone Heist on Easy: did you get the End credits like one earns on the SNES Ninja turtles on the Hard more.

I've never seen its ending so I thought I would ask.

I too played that game (been a long time).

I think I beat it on Easy once. and that was all. I hated its gameplay
