Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a video game of the beat 'em up genre released in 2003 by Konami. The game is based on the Ninja Turtles 2003 TV series. The main gameplay loosely adapts the following season one episodes: Things Change, A Better Mousetrap, Attack of the Mousers, Meet Casey Jones, Nano, Darkness on the Edge of Town, The Way of Invisibility, Notes from the Underground (Parts 1-3), and Return to New York (Parts 1-3) as well as a level that is not derived from the animated series at all. Although Quarry and Razorfist are bosses, Stonebiter only appears in the scenes from the cartoon.

Gameplay[]

The player can play as either Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, or Raphael. Casey Jones and Splinter are hidden characters. There is a story mode for one or two players, and there is also a versus mode where two players can fight head to head. In the versus mode, players can fight as all 4

turtles, Splinter, Casey Jones, Hamato Yoshi, The Turtlebot, Hun, Oroku Saki, and The Shredder. A Challenge mode is unlockable by defeating Oroku Saki with any Turtle in the Story Mode

Leo 11

which needs to be completed to unlock Hamato Yoshi and his dojo. There are also third-person view races, a shell-glider level for Donatello and a bike race between Raphael and Casey.

In story mode, players control the turtles as they make their way through a total of six stages, each containing several levels or "Areas". In each level, the player will have to control a turtle of their choosing as they navigate from one end of the level to the next. While the levels themselves are essentially the same for all four turtles, certain bosses are made available to be beaten by a particular turtle, with Casey Jones being exclusive to Raph, Master Splinter being exclusive to Leo, Baxter Stockman being exclusive to Don, and Hun being exclusive to Mikey.

Plot[]

Stage 1: Things Change[]

Shortly after completing a training session one night, the turtles find their lair under attack by Baxter Stockman's Mouser Robots.

During the attack, the mousers cause the ceiling to collapse, which separates the turtles from Master Splinter. Calling Splinter using a shell cell, the turtles soon arrange to meet with their master at the old drainage junction near South Point. Afterwards, the turtles briefly make their way through the sewers, where they're attacked by more Mousers. Later, after reaching a dead end, the four soon head to the surface. There, they're attacked by not only Mousers, but also thugs of the Purple Dragon gang.

After some time traversing the streets, the turtles come across Casey Jones relentlessly pummeling some Purple Dragons. Raph, recognizing Casey's anger, then proceeds to fight the hockey mask-wearing vigilante, knocking some sense into him. After learning about Casey's past with the Purple Dragons, the turtles then team up with him to take down Dragonface. In beating them, Casey soon comes to acknowledge the turtles as his allies.

Shortly after parting ways with Casey, the turtles encounter the Foot Clan. As they make their way across the rooftops, the turtles take down all the Foot Ninja standing in their way until they reach the Stocktronics building. Inside, they find April O'Neil being held captive by Baxter Stockman, who soon sends the Mousers to beat the turtles. When the Mousers fail, Baxter then unleashes a Giant Mouser Robot on the turtles. This robot also fails to destroy the turtles, who then rescue April. Afterwards, they meet up with Master Splinter, who then leads them to a mysterious chamber, which they all soon come to use as a new lair.

Stage 2: Nano[]

When a rash of robberies breaks out in the city, April O'Neil calls the turtles over to her place so they can not only have a sleepover, but also protect her antique shop from being robbed. That night, small-time con artist and thief Harry "The Schlub" Parker and his new son "Nano" break into April's store to rob it, with Nano taking a set of masks that he soon uses to express himself. The robbery goes south, however, when Casey Jones shows up to stop them. To defend Harry, Nano soon takes apart a car and reassembles it into a large body that he uses to beat up Casey. This earns the attention of the turtles, who wake up and fend off the groups of smaller robots that Nano created as well as several groups of Mousers and Purple Dragons. Making short work of these enemies, the turtles soon encounter the Nano Monster. After a brief fight, the Nano Monster and Harry escape.

After tending to the wounded Casey, the turtles soon decide to pursue Nano and Harry in retaliation for hurting him. After making their way along the subway line and across the bridge, the turtles reach the Junkyard where Nano and Harry are holed up. Once there, they face off with the Nano Monster once again, with the Monster assuming an even larger form to destroy the turtles. This giant form proves to be more difficult than the Nano Monster's previous forms, with the turtles having to hit it on the head to win. Ultimately, the Nano Monster is defeated when Donatello uses a magnet to capture Nano. Harry, however, tries to save Nano by turning off the magnet, only to drop Nano into a large incinerator.

While making their way back home, the turtles express their sympathy for Nano, given how he behaved like a child.

Stage 3: Trap[]

While investigating the turtles, Baxter Stockman reveals to his master, Oroku Saki, that he's preparing a new plan to destroy the turtles.

Meanwhile, down in their lair, the turtles watch a news report about sightings of a "Turtle Man" that is believed to be a member of a band of thieves who have plagued with the city with a string of robberies. Seeing the security footage of the supposed Turtle Man, the turtles soon head up to the surface to confront the creature and attempt to preserve their honor.

On the surface, the turtles soon discover that the Foot Ninja are behind the robberies, with Hun leading them. As the Foot and the Purple Dragons attempt to escape, the turtles give chase, eventually climbing onto the roof of the semi truck they're driving. The truck soon takes them to a construction site, where they encounter the "Turtle Man", which is revealed to be the Turtlebot. The turtles then proceed to take down the robot and foil the Foot's art theft, dropping off the art before flying home in the helicopter.

Stage 4: Tengu[]

One night, while the turtles are having fun, Donatello spots the Foot ninja raiding the museum to steal the Sword of Tengu for Oroku Saki.

The turtles first clear the entrance of ninjas, then fight their way through the Dinosaur Exhibit. At the Egyptian exhibition, the turtles encounter the Mystic elemental ninjas who try to impede them.

After making their way through the courtyard, they make it to the Japanese exhibit just in time to see Hun stealing the Sword of Tengu before leaving the Foot Gunner Ninja to fight the turtles. Later, Splinter looks into the Foot Clan insignia suspecting trouble. Splinter insists his sons must not engage the Foot Clan too hastily.
