you think replaying a couple dozen levels is boring? man... try mario world and getting all the dragon coins, THEN getting all peach coins, and THEN getting all of the exit gates. Or, even better, try getting all 150 pokemon in red/blue. i had to have went through the elite 4 about 70 times before i was done.

and an example for the diffrent dificulties... KI gold on the N64 had that, in order to get Master dificulty, you had to be the game on very hard, and each time it gave you a better ending.

and, as has been said, this is a GBA game... that would have added another few months in the development and programming cycles for Konami's GBA team on a game that could have flopped.

OK, I've got all the crystals and beat it with every Turtle. (The crystal ending is kinda lame).

On to hard mode...

PanMan · 10-31-2003, 09:22 PM

well i beat it with every turtle except mikey on normal. now all i have to do is kill those mutant freaks and collect those shiney crystals

oh, and leo sliced and diced that giant mouser

Meira-Bates · 10-31-2003, 09:56 PM

I'm currently on the Shredder level at normal difficulty. Haven't beaten it once yet and I've been playing my old TMNT games alot as well. I just can't seem to get past the two foot elite in the elavator... On top of that I only managed to collect one of the 20 crystals...guh...but at least I know where one of Raph's that I didn't remember to grab are hidden. ^.^ I dunno why but I've /never/ been good at beat-um-ups. Can't even beat the first part of Radical Rescue (which I really kinda liked because it seemed pretty inovative in comparison to all the other old games.). It surprises me that I've beaten Hyperstone Hiest, and nearly beaten Turtles in Time...and I'm even more surprised I beat Splatterhouse 2 and 3. @.@

PanMan · 10-31-2003, 11:21 PM

well, a little update. . . i am in the shredder level on normal (yes i kicked those monsters' butt, er, mikey did

). i got to shredder with leo and raph, but little did i know that once you decide not to play with a certain turtle anymore and then switch, you can't go back to shredder instantly with the turtle that got there

oh well.

and about the crystals, do they do anything or are they just there to collect? i know the combos have improved for each turtle, and am wondering if it is because of the crystals, or maybe points, or maybe i'm stupid and the combos didn't change at all

(although i'm certain they did

)

I thought I heard that they unlock something for GameCube Version when linked together. And I don't know about the combo's. Someone else will help you.

When fighting one elite, special attack him just as he comes out on the left side (hold and release attack button). Then run back and forth (>,> and <,&lt

hitting him with the running attack as he teleports from side to side. If you're fast, he'll never get a shot off.

The same strategy basically works with the two elites, but you may do some jumping as well as they will have time to attack you.

Ninja Tiptup · 11-01-2003, 08:06 PM

Anyone notice that Shredders BG music is a remix of the old Shredder theme from the arcade game? I've also heard that his beam attack makes the sound of Super Shredder on TMNT III but I couldn't tell. Ah nostalgia...

I beat all the turtles levels on normal, and Shredder with Leonardo. I'm stuck on getting the crystals. I have 16 of them I believe but I can't find the rest. I noticed Mike had crystals on his vehicle level, does anyone else have it on theres? I didn't find any with Leo, Raph, or Don. Am I just not looking hard enough?

Also, are all of Raph's found on his first level? There doesn't seem to be a logical or even illogical place for there to be any on his other 3 levels.

yeah that's pretty much how i beat them. the weird thing was that i didn't have to sit there and think about this plan. when i saw the first one i just instinctively did this. i beat him quite easily and was kinda disapointed. when there's two you can do the same thing. just hit one of them until they disappear, then they will be on the same side always and you can treat them as one.

well, i beat shredder in normal with leo. i still have to find the crystals though. the good thing is i know where a couple of them are, but couldn't get them when i found them.

has anybody beaten the game completely yet?

Ninja Tiptup · 11-01-2003, 10:44 PM

I've got all of Mike and Raph's crystals but I have no clue where the rest of Leo and Don's are (I'm missing two for each of them).

Now after many tries I beat Shredder with Michaelangelo (he's actually pretty good against him once you get a rhythem down), but apparently it doesn't matter who you fight him with. You get the same code no matter what. I really was hoping for infinite Shurikan for Mikey (ah pooh gas!). Oh well, I've still got those last four crystals to track down.

If by completely you mean on the hard mode, then no.

I have beat the normal setting with all the crystals. Playing the hard mode now, about 1/2 way thru. but it's less of a priority now that I've beat the game.

Ninja Tiptup:
All of the "vehicle" levels have crystals in them. Just keep destroying stuff.
Most of leo's crystals are in the first level in the sewer paths, try them all. (Even then one is super hard to find. Hint: before leaving any screen to advance to the next, wait a couple secs to see if more enemies appear...)

Ninja Tiptup · 11-03-2003, 07:26 PM

Thanks for the tips.

tsk! tsk! you can't claim you finished the game by beating it in normal. hard mode is . . . so much harder

i've beaten it with raph, don and leo in hard, but can't get past act 3 with mikey. man those monsters are tough (especially the blue one). any suggestions on how to beat them (him in particular).

i've also gotten about half of the crystals.

*Duke* · 11-03-2003, 10:47 PM

I've gotten all the way to shredder on hard but alas failed miserably.

um, i don't think so. it's not quarry that you are fighting, it's the mindless mutants.

i thought the blue one was quarry

Ninja Tiptup · 11-05-2003, 11:48 AM

If you didn't notice before, Konami took a lot of "license" with the Notes from the Underground levels on both the GBA and console versions. Both have a bunch of added monsters which weren't ever said to be humans at some point. So no that is not Quarry you fight and the brown one isn't Stone Biter. They are just generic, but have similar looks. I believe all three (at least I know Razorfist is) are in the console game, but don't have the same origin (I think) and I don't believe that one guy who "helped" them is in the console game because he's not the boss of NftU. Can anyone who has finished that arc on the game clear this up please?

aren't those monsters the ones that the good monsters were scared of. you know, the mindless mutants that just attacked them so they needed that crystal force field to protect themselves.

Ninja Tiptup · 11-07-2003, 04:25 PM

Nope they aren't even those I believe. Notice that the turtles talk to one of the scientists on the game when they only get to watlch his notes on the show.
