TMNT: The Cutting Room Floor Wiki Entries

*Ninjinister* · 09-12-2011, 03:11 PM

I'd come across this Wiki some time back, when it was still in its infancy, and I don't think it had much in the way of TMNT games.

Scrolled across it again today, and there's some neat stuff. Enjoy.

Really impressive find, Ninji, I had no idea there were so many unused graphics and sounds that were buried within the games!

EDIT: Probably for the better that Slash didn't actually speak in the final cut.

SPEEDY!!
Man, I wish we had gotten the power-up pizzas.

Very cool find!

Nice find!

I know this thread has been around for a while, but I think there have been some recent updates to the page on the first Arcade game:

http://tcrf.net/Teenage_Mutant_Ninja...s_%28Arcade%29

There are lots of unused sprites, a listing of the original order of levels, and some other neat things.

I was reminded of this site a while back after somebody on Deviantart posted some sprite tiles of the turtles using GUNS (that was gonna be one of the powerups)!

Pretty rad! Love the animated sprites of Donny with the laser gun.

Seems like there is enough there that a talented hacker could probably re-introduce them into the game. Speedy is obviously incomplete, but that could just be a speed up, I suppose. Enable the pizza spawns, add the gun back in, and port the spinning attack from the later game over and there you go. I wonder where they would have appeared in the levels.

Holy crap, GUNS??! Nice find!!!

Oh and a bigger Technodrome portal room and broken streets like in TMNT3! THIS IS SO AWESOME.

*Ninjinister* · 07-03-2012, 12:35 AM

Didn't see THAT coming?

*oldmanwinters* · 07-03-2012, 01:32 PM

I also think there have been some updates to the NES game's page.

There were supposed to be mini-Technodrome sprites (perhaps for the overworld screens?), and some Rocksteady and Bebop "flinching" sprites. However, the Konami people rightly decided that Rocksteady and Bebop NEVER flinch!

That Rocksteady sprite looks creepy.
