Ninja Turtles: Back from the Sewers Gameboy
 

Way back when, in the game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back from the Sewers for the Gameboy, I thought I'd ask 2 quick questions for someone to answer:

1) When your turtle gets captured after losing his life gauge and the next turtle completes a level to rescue their captured brother, who is the person they fight? Is it Rex-01 from the old series?

2) What is it the sequel to? I'm sure it's a sequel, but what was the 1st ninja turtles gameboy game?

Appreciate the answer to the first question. It is okay that the 2nd question is unanswerable. I'll find out somewhere. A pic of the game for those who care :D

Yeah, it's the robo-cop dude from the cartoon you have to fight to save your captured turtle(s) in the bonus game. You get a pizza collecting bonus game, to refill your life bar, instead if you haven't lost any turtles.

"Fall of The Foot Clan" is indeed the first Game Boy game, which Back From The Sewers in the sequel to.

and the 3rd one is Radical Rescue with only Michelangelo? or do you get to fight as the other turtles in the game?

Once you rescue them, then yeah, you do.

BTW, who else thinks the 1st game Fall of the Foot is a Cake Walk?

Do you mean Rex-1?

Of course it is, but that doesn't make it any less awesome.

I know....just askin...:P

I don't quite recall who the bosses are in this one.... there's individual Youtube videos of them all, but I don't have the patience and/or time to round them all up, figure out their order, and watch them in order. In fact, the only one I found a proper boss rush on for the Game Boy was Radical Rescue.

No, I actually own Fall of the Foot Clan. It's Back from the Sewers that I'm curious about.

Pretty much the same... Rocksteady, Bebop, Baxter, Sewer Monster, Shredder (twice), Krang (twice), General Traag and Granitor.

stage 1: Rocksteady
stage 2: Bebop
stage 3: Krang (walker)
stage 4: Pizza Monster, Shredder
stage 5: Baxter Stockman, Granitor
stage 6: Traag, Super Shredder, Krang (android body)

rescue stage: Rex-1


And the reason you saw a boss rush for TMNT III: The Radical Rescue is because that's actually part of the game. You have to beat all of the prior bosses, one after another, immediately before you take on Cyber Shredder.

Cyber Shredder, you said. Is this the same Cyber Shredder that transitioned to Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters or is there a difference?

IMO Cyber Shredder from Tournament Fighters was just regular Shredder. I didn't see anything 'Cyber' about thim....


And what's the deal with making Shredder Cyber anyway? It looks like Back to the Dewers finally got a Cyber Shredder to work with.

Not sure about the Cyber part with the Tournament Fighters Shredder, but there is a key difference between him and his standard counterpart: no shoulder blades.

What exactly was 'cyber' about Shredder in Radical Rescue? Was he really a cyborg in that game?

Cyber Shredder doesn't look robotic or anything in Radical Rescue, he just looks like a "normal" Shredder (but, then, the sprite is pretty small to begin with). He's mighty fast and has some nasty fire/energy attacks, so I suppose one could consider those abilities cyborg enhancements. Maybe the whole "cyber" thing is just that his clothing/armor have non-visible mechancial enhancements--maybe speed/strength/durability boosters.

And yeah, for no apparent reason, the Tournament Fighters Shredder is also called Cyber Shredder.

Or maybe, just maybe, Mirage/Playmates had some kind of a Cyber Shredder planned at the time that the games were made and the idea was ultimately scrapped? Game developers need a fairly long lead time if they're going to meet movie/cartoon/toy line releases, 'cuz a game take months-years to make, so maybe Konami got some info on a proposed "new" Shredder look that never got used in the toys/comics.

I don't know about you guys, but I've seen the Mugen version of Cyber-Shredder and I definitely believe that guy has some artificial enhancements. Super speed, endless combos, and he unleashes an ultimate shockwave when he leaps in the air. I've rarely seen any CPU character beat him.
:tdead::tdead::tdead::shredder:

But, then again, that's not official.
