Bebop is always featured much later in the games.

I was with you until I replayed the first NES TMNT game yesterday for the first time in years. Bebop is the first boss and pretty easy, Rocksteady is the second and kind of a huge pain in the ass. So that boss battle alone sways the videogame toughness over towards Rocksteady IMO.

But... in all subsequent games, Rocksteady's boss placement preceded Bebop's, thus suggesting Bebop improved his skills after that first outing... packing a gun helped a lot I think.

Ironically, I always had a bit harder time with Bebop than Rocksteady in the first game, since you had to fight Bebop in a low ceiling area but on Rocksteady, you could jump to the top of the boxes and attack him with Donatello's staff.

I went in pretty blind without remembering any sort of tricks. Bebop just went down without much trouble at all, Rocksteady took a fair amount of evasion and had some annoying movement. In the later games they're both pretty pants on head easy so it's a bit of a wash. As it stands, to me NES Rocksteady is the only one that has ever posed much of a challenge.
