Scrolls
Sent in by Norfleet
It is mandatory that you collect several scrolls in stage three, because
you will need them to fight Shredder. If you don't then you might as well
restart the game and start over. By the time you reach Shredder all of
your turtles will be low on energy, and even if your turtle is at full power
2 hits from Shredder and you're dead. With the Scrolls, beating this
game is almost impossible. Shredder has 2 life bars just in case you are
wondering why his energy didn't move when you hit him the first time.
Stronger hits
Sent in by Norfleet
When your turtles start being low on energy, (around 2 1/2 blocks left)
their hits start to be more effective. For example, the spiders in the
buildings on stage five can be killed with one hit from Raph when he is
weak. But if he had full energy, it would take two hits.
Beat Mouser
Sent in by Norfleet
An easy way to beat the boss mouser is to get Don, and stand directly
under the mouth. When he opens his mouth just slash upward and his long
bow will finish him off eventually. You will also be safe from the eye lazers here.
Get pizza over and over
Sent in by Norfleet
If you find some pizza near the entrance to a sewer, grab it and when
you reenter the sewer the pizza will appear over and over again. You
can refresh your whole party like this in no time.
Fighting the first boss
Sent in by Ben Joy
When you fight the first boss use Don. Jump up on top of boxes, hold
down and keep pressing the attack button. Eventually he'll die.
Ledge tip
Sent in by Michael Watkins
When the gap between two ledges is only the width of one brick and
the ceiling is Turtke height, an attempted jump will result in a sure
fall. In this case, your Turtle of choice should just try to step over the
gap instead of leaping. He can walk across. Avoid stopping in the middle,
and he'll make it easily!
Stage tips
Sent in by Tom V.
In stage 3, collect as many scroll weapons as you can and hang on to
them! They are by far the best weapons to use against bosses.
Stage 6: In the narrow yellow corridor, when the flying soldiers come,
simply duck and they will retreat so you can pass.
Captured turtle locations
Sent in by Mike Waters
Level 3: Notice the triangle of buildings in the middle of the map? The building in
the lower right corner of that triangle is where to find a turtle captured in level 3
or further into the game.
Level 4: Sewer #13 is where to find a captured turtle in this stage.
Level 5: In the lowest level of the middle building, you will find a captured turtle.
Level 6: In the lowest part of the first section of the Technodrome, you will find
a spike laced floor. Crossing it is a risk, but if you make it to a part where you
can go down further, go down, then to the right to find a captured turtle.
Any time you rescued a captured turtle, they get full life energy, but any weapons
they collected before being captured will be lost.
