Introduction

Another day for the Turtles as they watch TV. They saw an advertisement promoting "The Tournament Fighters" had open entries. Curious about Shredder's appearance in it, as well as seeing their friend April covering the show, Splinter somehow signs them up behind their backs. Taking on the challenge, they fight to see who is the best. What is ironic is that they are the only new entrants from that advert if you don't want to count Rat King and Karai who apparently have been part of the tournament before. The Story mode kidnaps April and Splinter as the Turtles try to uncover and foil Shredder's plot, while Tournament mode has April on the screen between every fight.

Gameplay

This game was made a few years in during the Street Fighter II craze, so the bar was pretty high. The SNES version happens to hold up the best even to this day. It takes a lot of cues from console Street Fighter II. There are a few features in this game that help set this game apart from others including the Mutagen meter/super moves, damage decay, a full presentation for singleplayer modes, and the ability to watch matches.

This game might not fare as well as the arcade masterpieces, but it holds up surprisingly well on its own for what it is. The amount of game-breaking tricks is relatively minimal. There is very little jank to be had unless you want to bring up the bosses, but they are bosses after all. The game is fast, controls well, and combos do exist. Comparing this to the heap of trash that is the Genesis version shows just how much effort was shown into each game.
