Nintendo Replayed: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

[originally written for overtimecomedy.com on 4/8/08] 

Bad mouth this game all you want; I enjoy the hell out of it. Anyone who talks shit on it needs to admit they just suck at it. I was watching one review where the guy asked why you could only play as Leonardo. Dude, hit Start then Up or Down. That is the game's coolest feature.

Even though it's a one-player game, you can switch from turtle to turtle. Want to do a lot of damage quickly? Donatello. Want to take out a lot of bad guys quickly? Leonardo. Want to go on a suicide mission where you barrel through a dangerous level, leaving a useful turtle with plenty of life at the end? Raphael or Michelangelo, either is expendable.

My only real problem with this game is one, single jump. No kidding, one jump. The pit is too wide and there's an overhang just low enough. Luckily, the pit takes you into a sewer that brings you to the start of the level instead of killing you. That's how I would play this game. I'd beat level after level then play this one level over and over. I'd highly recommend you play, and if you get past this jump, you're a better man than I.
