welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be taking a look at the famous arcade

Mutant Ninja Turtles turtles in time
domaine
and based on the 80s cartoon series the
game begins with April O’Neil conducting
her Sunday evening newscast from Liberty
Island there she witnesses Krang steal
the Statue of Liberty in his giant
exosuit moments later shredder hijacks
the airwaves to taunt the Turtles
through their TV shredder lures them
into a trap and uses a time portal to
banish the turtles to the distant past
in the hopes that they never return
shredder was not content with simply
sending the heroes in a half-shell back
to another time so he dispatched legions
of soldiers and other minions through
the time-warp to ensure the destruction
of the turtles as a result the game
featured the turtles fighting to reach
time portals each of these led the
turtles a little closer to the present
and in some cases it caused them to skip
over it entirely this four player romp
was an instant success it quickly became
the most beloved entry in the series and
dominated the arcades largely similar to
their previous coin-operated outing
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the arcade
game turtles in time improved on that
amazing classic in every way it also
managed to stay true to the source
material and retained the iconic look of
the animated series from the late 80s
rock dudes we did it among these
improvements were better graphics music
and gameplay this meant several new
combat combinations and attacks these
included the ability to – perform a
turtle specific special move fling
enemies into the screen or slam them
into the ground a year after its 1991
release the game was ported to the Super
Nintendo Entertainment System it dropped
4 player support and adopted the
numerical title Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles for turtles in time however it
made up for lesser graphics and a
two-player co-op limit with additional
stages these included changing the
levels sewer surfing and neon knight
riders to bonus levels and the addition
of an all-new full
length Technodrome stage this level took
place long before the turtles can make
their way back for the final fight and
had them fighting shredder as he
operated a battle tank this climactic
battle was also altered and the villain
was transformed into a hulking super
shredder the console similarly changed a
slew of stage bosses to keep the
experience fresh and also added new
enemies such as roadkill Rodney’s and
mousers it also included a Time Trial
mode and a two-player vs fight mode the
game became insanely popular so it was
quickly retooled to generate the second
Genesis exclusive the hyperstone heist
and it was completely remade in 2009
this 3d version altered many popular
elements such as the iconic soundtrack
and voice acting my toes
released as a download exclusive turtles

feelings of fans but couldn’t improve
upon the original turtles in time is not
only a beloved classic
it also remains the greatest entry in
