I, however DO count Battle Toads as a direct knock off. I don't know if it actually was to have 4 members (I somehow remember reading an early concept used in Nintendo Power saying there were 4... or at least one of the names was changed.

It also didn't help that the unsold cartoon series had a slacker that talked almost exactly like Mikey, and that one was a technogeek. I have to say, there was some potential in a cartoon series for Battle Toads, but other than the obvious cloning of the Turtle character personalities (at least with 2 of them) the series suffered terrible animation and drekky dialogue.
