Gameplay [edit]

Similar its predecessor, Turtles in Time was bachelor for the arcades in two- and four-player versions. In the two-player versions, each player gets to cull which of the 4 turtles they wish to control, whereas in the four-player versions the characters are assigned to the command console from left to right in the following order: Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael.[iv] Each playable character has his own strengths and weaknesses.[4] [5] [6] New features in this game include the power to execute a power attack by hitting an enemy several times in a row, and the ability to slam Foot Soldiers into surrounding enemies.[4]

The game features the same command scheme of the previous arcade release. It uses a joystick for movement, an set on button and a jump button. Sure joystick/push combinations tin make a Turtle run, perform a slide or dash attack, jump college, perform a stationary or directed air attack, or perform a special attack.[four]

Players guide the turtles through a series of levels. The first takes place in the streets of New York City. Subsequently levels transport the turtles to representations of various historical eras. In each level, players face enemies from both the 1987 cartoon and the characteristic moving picture Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze, including Foot Soldier and Rock Warriors. Bosses include the fly class of Baxter Stockman, Metalhead, Tokka and Rahzar and Leatherhead.[7]

Plot [edit]

Shredder taunts the Turtles subsequently Krang steals the Statue of Liberty, in the intro of the arcade game

The introductory cutting scene of the game details the game'due south plot. Information technology begins with the Turtles watching a Tv set newscast on a Dominicus evening, with Apr O'Neil reporting from Liberty Island. Suddenly, Krang flies in using a behemothic exosuit (seen occasionally in the animated serial[8] [9] [10]) and steals the Statue of Liberty, moments before Shredder hijacks the airwaves to express mirth at the Turtles.

The Turtles jump into activity in downtown New York and pursue the Human foot to the streets and the urban center sewers (then to the Technodrome in the SNES version[7]), where Shredder sends them through a time warp. The Turtles must fight Shredder'south army in both the past and the hereafter in order to get home. They defeat Shredder and the Statue of Liberty is returned to its place.[11]

Development [edit]

The original music of the game's soundtrack was composed by Mutsuhiko Izumi, a TMNT veteran who also composed the music for the previous arcade game in the serial. It was bundled for the SNES version by Kazuhiko Uehara and Harumi Ueko,[12] both of whom went on to produce several Konami games, including the following TMNT game, Tournament Fighters.[13] [14]

During development, the game's working championship was "something like TMNT Time Travelers" according to Konami USA's Steve Kaufman in early 1991.[15]

In add-on to an original musical score, the attract fashion of the arcade game is noted for featuring the song "Pizza Ability", which was taken from the TMNT live concert, known as the Coming Out of Their Shells Tour.[16] The game's music was released as part of the compilation album Konami All-Stars 1993 ~ Music Station of Dreams, published by Rex Records in 1992.[17]

The 2005 version of the game included in Mutant Nightmare features new music and voices updated to match the 2003 TMNT series.[18] This was also the case for Turtles in Time: Re-Shelled.[19]

Releases [edit]

Arcade [edit]

Like the original Turtles arcade game, Turtles in Time was released for the arcades as a dedicated 4-role player chiffonier, equally well as a 2-player conversion kit. Unlike the offset game, Turtles in Time was never officially distributed for the arcades in Japan.

SNES [edit]

The second part of the SNES-exclusive "Technodrome: Let's Boot Shell!" level features a fight sequence in an elevator

The SNES version was retitled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Iv: Turtles in Fourth dimension in N America and Australia and Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles Four: Turtles in Fourth dimension in Europe in guild to go on the numbering from the first iii Turtles games on the NES (despite the fact that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project was never released in the PAL region). However, the Super Famicom version in Japan retained the original unnumbered title.

Much similar Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game for the NES (a conversion of the first arcade game), the SNES version of Turtles in Time has some notable differences in presentation.[seven] While the SNES version is missing some animations and graphics effects from the arcade version, information technology made extensive use of the SNES's Mode seven frontward scrolling effect in the "Neon Night-Riders" level, changing it to an over-the-shoulder perspective, and having thrown Foot Soldiers flying direct at, and hitting, the screen.

Sounds besides differ betwixt the arcade and SNES versions. The SNES version is missing certain voice samples for both the turtles and dominate characters.[7] In addition, the arcade version's title theme song, "Pizza Power", was replaced with an instrumental version of the cartoon theme song.

Various alterations were fabricated to the SNES version's gameplay. "Sewer Surfin'" and "Neon Night-Riders" were inverse to bonus levels of a sort and a new Technodrome stage was added, which features a boss battle with Shredder sitting in a battle tank in the foreground which requires the actor to striking the tank with Foot Soldiers thrown at the screen. Several enemies were changed in the SNES version. 4 other new bosses were added: the Rat King was added at the end of the "Sewer Surfin'" level, Slash replaced Cement Man in the prehistoric level, and on the pirate ship level, the duo of Bebop and Rocksteady replaced Tokka and Rahzar, who were moved to the new Technodrome level. The game also changes the final battle with Shredder to Super Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Hole-and-corner of the Ooze. The SNES version also adds two regular enemies: Roadkill Rodneys (which replaced the boxing robots) and Mousers.

The SNES version too features a fourth dimension-trial style and a ii-player versus fight fashion.[7] Like the arcade version, each turtle was given unique attributes in areas such as speed and strength. In improver, the move to throw enemies off-screen can at present be performed intentionally (instead of only randomly), a technique specifically required at the end of the Technodrome level.[6]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare [edit]

An emulated conversion of the original arcade game can be unlocked after completing the first batch of missions in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare. The game is emulated from the four-role player version.

Much like the version it was based on, the characters are assigned by controller. This ways that Donatello and Raphael are non playable in the PlayStation 2 version without a multitap, as the base of operations console merely has two controller slots. The new soundtrack is a re-arranged version from the Nintendo DS version of Mutant Nightmare.
