Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 





Scrolls

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
