How would you improve the original NES TMNT?

This game has single handily haunted many kids growing up in the late 80s and early 90s before the sequels came out. It was brutal in difficult, half of the heroes were practically useless, contained one of the most infamous levels in the 8 bit era, and a poor mixture of the Mirage Comics and the 80s toon. (elements of both not handled well) Despite the sequels being greater and this game getting hatred over the years, I almost wonder if it had better potential. The graphics were decent and like any Konami game, the music was excellent.

So, how can this game be fixed for a more satisfying time in your eyes? There would still be the six main areas in the game though, but how would you improve the game if the side scrolling was kept? Would you improve the difficulty? Would you make it more like the Mirage Comics or 80s cartoon? Would there be more levels?
