How to beat TMNT for NES in 5 easy levels:
1. 1st level is short and easy, no comments needed.
2. 2nd Level, the Dam. First go through the building, not hard at all. Make sure you have 2 turtles (mike and leo) with full health for the swimming area. Jump off the dam. Use mike first. You have to find all the bombs which is not hard to do. There is a simple path that you can take to get all of them. You have to take your time with the lasers. The area with all the electric plankton/sea weed that covers the screen will usually do a decent amount of damage so if your turtle is about to die just switch turtles. The key is to take you time with the lasers because you have more than enough time to defuse all the bombs. You can take your time with the lasers and finish the stage with 29-35 seconds still on the clock.
Location of bombs:
1. Right in front of you at start.
2. Go up, get bomb them back down. Go Right.
3. Get next one, go up, get next one, go Right to next.
4. Electro Plankton area, be mindfull of health.
5. Right to next bomb, go down.
6. Right at fork, then down.
7. Let current pull you to the right and dont touch the bottom. Its easy here. Get the last bomb and thats it.
3. 3rd Level, Rescue Splinter.
1. Enter turtle van and drive to the 1st building to your left. Enter building and get missiles and pizza. You only need one set of missiles and you can jump up from the bottom floor to get them, you dont have to go around. Exit building.
2. Get in the Turtle Van and DRIVE! GO: left to edge of screen, use missile, right, missile, down, left to edge of screen, missile, right, missile, down, Right, GO PAST DOUBLE BARRIER, go up, missile on bridge, up, missile on bridge, follow path to sewer entrance (its a building but the sewer area is inside).
3. SEWER: Easy area but is hard if you dont know how. You should use Don here, so make sure he has at least half life left. When jumping over gaps with low clearance, you have to ONLY TAP JUMP button, holding in down for any length of time will cause the turtles to hit their heads and fall into the water. Its very simple. When jumping over these gaps to avoid hitting the balloons, tap attack after tapping the jump button. Dons staff will kill anything infront of him. Many of the big guys will just walk toward you and fall into the water so they are easy. With the small single-block gaps you can just walk over these so dont risk jumping. At the end of this area there is pizza near the exit so you can fill up all turtles here.
4. Boss Time: Kill Mecha-Turtle, hes not really hard, but he does damage. THis isnt a problem because you just filled up all turtles. Right after you beat him you can fill up all your turtles again, so no worries about getting hit alot against him. Special Weapons like boomerangs are effective. Just kill him without dying.
4. Underground Base
1. Fill up all turtles. The rest of the stage is just a big maze, and the areas that you HAVE TO go through are not hard. Just conserve energy and go through the manhole stages. Manhole guide: 1.Enter Building, 2. Upper Left Manhole, 3. Upper Left Manhole, 4. Upper Left Manhole, 5. Upper Manhole, 6.Upper Left Manhole. 7.Up then Right, will be the second manhole you see. (Manhole Number12). THERE IS HIDDEN PIZZA AT END OF LEVEL. make sure you fill up all turtles here. 8.Down Manhole. 9. Top Right manhole to fight the Giant Mouser. Hes super easy. Use Don, stand under the mouth, when he opens his mouth all the way hit start then unpause. Keep attacking up and hes dead.
5. Final Level. The final level has 2 parts, find the technodrome and the technodrome itself.
1. Finding the technodrome. In the overworld map there are 3 manholes. The technodrome is in one of these manholes at the very end (in a room). The location of the drome seems random, but actually its location is determined by the frame that you push 'start' on at the opening screen. Anyway, basically consider it random. Go up and in the first one, its right next to you (at your starting point) and its the easiest one to travel. Inside these manholes the enemies are tough, sometimes its best to avoid them. If you get to the very end and its not there, you might want to consider just dieing and continuing.
The Technodrome will sometimes move locations (between the 3 manholes) after you continue. And sometimes it will not move. Therefore it can be tricky to find. You can get unlucky at this point and just not find it, it happens. Sometimes you find it right away. This is probably the biggest frustration in the game because not finding the drone can just end runs.
Figthing the technodrome: Easy boss. At the very beginning of the battle walk to the right side of the screen and duck. Once the technodrome has entered and the forcefield is past you on the left, jump up and first knock out the 2 guns. Kill the foot soldiers as they approach you. Once the guns are out, just keep hitting the eye and killing the foot soldiers. Don is most effective here. For a giant underground super-armored tank vehilce the technodrome is very very easy.
2. Inside the Technodrome: Hardest part of the game. The final boss shredder is easy so all you gotta do is reach shredder with donatello or another turtle equipped with a special weapon. Now the game gives you 2 continues, so if you can get here without continuing you have 2 chances to get to shredder. You will probably need all turtles at full health to get to shredder. What makes the technodrome hard is the area near the end with all the flying white guys. You either need to find the scrolls or manuipilate their movements so they keep flying away from you. These guys accumulate and can be impossible to get past. There is also a glitch in the game that will allow you to skip most of this area.
