questions you may have about the game.

Please feel free to email me at anytime if you have any strategies you would
like to add.

If you wish to use this FAQ on your site, you may do so as long as:
1) It is used as-is - it should exactly match the version found on
www.gamefaqs.com and www.gamespot.com.

2.0 – E-Mail Guidelines
***********************************************************

My email is NotoriousNick500(at)Gmail(dot)com.

Feel free to email me anytime but make sure it follows the guidelines below.

Subject: <Game Name> FAQ

I will accept the email if:
- The subject matter matches the one above.
- The email is readable.
- Any strategies you would like in my guide as long as you tell me your
GameFAQs account name. Real names WILL NOT be accepted UNLESS it’s under
personal circumstances (e.g. Real name is in your username). Also strategies
will not be accepted if you have your own Guide or its already posted in
someone else’s.
- Any maps YOU made. If it is not your map contact information must be given
for the person who made it. That way I can contact them and make sure it’s
alright.
- Any screenshot YOU or the company who made the game snapped. I will only
except the company’s screenshot if THEY THEMSELVES released it to the public.
Again if the screenshot belongs to someone else their contact information must
be given to me including the company’s.
- Any video YOU made for the game. It must be for your personal site,
YouTube.com, or GameTheater.org. Again I’ll need contact info for someone
else’s work.
- The section of my guide that the strategies, maps, screenshots, or videos
are for.
- You want to use the guide on your site. A link must be included so I can
preview the site. Only the guide in the subject box will be given.
- If you want more than one guide put “Multiple FAQ” in the subject box.
Emails with that subject matter must only be for requesting permission to post
my FAQs.
- If you want to request I make another guide for this game or others. The
subject matter must be “FAQ Request”.
- If you like my style of making FAQs and want to co-write one. The subject
matter must be “Co-write FAQ Request”. It must be a game none of us have made
a full walkthrough for, that I feel like doing, and work must be equal. Also
we’ll need a way to communicate faster like through some form of chat. Gmail,
AIM, or Steam are the preferred ones. Proofreading a FAQ I made is NOT
co-writing.
- Any noticeable errors I made. Errors like “to” should be “too” should not be
pointed out. Errors like “It IS possible to get <name item> in <name area>” or
“You CAN’T do <something> in <name area>” will be accepted.
- Any questions you have about the game or guide. The subject matter must be
“<Game Name> Question(s)”. Any questions about me WILL NOT be accepted.

Anybody who doesn’t follow these guidelines well not get their e-mails
accepted. People who spam me will be blocked. Also this information is for
all my guides and not just this one.

***********************************************************
6.0 – Walkthrough
***********************************************************

***********************************************************
6.1 - Big Apple 3 a.m.
***********************************************************

When you first start out you’ll be attacked by a bunch of purple foot soldiers
and possibly a blue one. Use the cones to hit into the soldiers if you want.
Keep going and you’ll get to a wrecking ball. The ball can hurt you if you’re
under it but it can also hurt the foot. Destroy all the ones in this area.
Next grab the pizza and wait for the foot. When they arrive hit the barrel and
have it blow them up. Keep fighting off foot and Krang’s exosuit will appear.
Fight the foot while avoiding the energy blast from its eyes. It doesn’t affect
the foot. You’ll then reach another area with a wrecking ball. Just fend off
the enemies that appear. When you get to the end of the bridge kill any
remaining foot and grab the pizza on the ground.

Baxter Stockman
When Stockman appears he’ll shoot tiny bullets at you then fly to the other
side. Jump up after each shot and deliver some kind of aerial attack. When he
lands he’ll shoot bullet from the top to the bottom. Jump over them and attack
him when he stops shooting. After so many hits he’ll start shooting big yellow
feet and fist at you. Just dodge them and attack when he’s open. Eventually
he’ll lose and fall off the bridge.

***********************************************************
6.2 - Alleycat Blues
***********************************************************

Walk forward and the foot will appear from the building. Use the hydrant to
kill one and take out the others. Some more will jump down from the fire
escape and come from ahead. Take them all out and continue. When you get to
the sewer one will jump out and throw the lid at you. Kill him and his buddies
that appear and continue forward. Eat the pizza and kill the unicycle robots
that appear to move on. Foot will eventually start jumping over the fence to
get you. Kill all of them. When you move forward you’ll be faced with the same
situation only with more foot. Beat them then move on. When you get to the
doorways foot will jump out. Grab the super pizza and you’ll start spinning.
This kills all foot members in one hit. Go forward and use the hydrant then go
all the way to the end. Keep fending off foot members until Metal Head appears.

Metal Head
Metal Head will start off by moving around just punching and kicking. After
awhile he’ll jump to the top right corner. Jump over his bullets as he moves
down. He’ll then jump 3 times till he gets to the top left corner. Attack him
only when he walks around at the beginning and after he does his series of
jumps. Dodge him otherwise. When defeated he’ll go to the manhole and blow up.

***********************************************************
6.3 - Sewer Surfin’
***********************************************************

Stay on the far left and kill the foot as they come one by one. Once the foot
are gone dodge the three set of spikes that come from the ceiling while
collecting the pizzas (which are yellow with ? marks in this level). Next will
be the water mines. Get hit once to hear the famous “my toe, my toe,” if you
want to. Just jump over the mines to dodge them. There is one pizza between
the last two. Now you’ll be attacked by pizza monsters. Attack them with your
weapons right when they jump out or before they jump back in or hit them with
kicks while in midair. When the attack is over your stats will be added up.

Rat King
After your stats add up the Rat King will appear. When he launches missiles
from the side stay in between them and attack his water ski. When he goes all
the way to the right go up and wait as he launches water mines. Keep repeating
the process and you’ll eventually beat him.

***********************************************************
6.4 – Technodrome
***********************************************************

Go forward and destroy the foot and unicycle bots that appear. Keep going and
defeat more foot that appear. Next you’ll get more foot and mousers will
appear. After you defeat them and go forward you’ll get more mousers and a lot
of foot. Take them all out. Continue forward and grab the pizza. Foot will
start appearing. Keep going and grab the super pizza to kill all the foot that
appear. Continue along the monitors and destroy all the foot that appear. Keep
going till you get to the doorway. Avoid touching the lock on it.

Tokka and Rahzar
Tokka is the snapping turtle and Rahzars the wolf. Both creatures can slash
and tackle the turtles. If they tackle each other they will take damage. Tokka
can shoot ice breath and freeze you while Rahzar can shoot fire balls and burn
you. One fire ball will stay after the attack and make the turtles do their
toe dance if they hit it. Also they have a team attack were Tokka goes in his
shell and speeds around while Rahzar rides on him and slashes. Just defeat
them using normal attacks while you dodge theirs. If you have two turtles you
can both take care of one each. When they lose they de-mutate and the
electrical lock opens.

The turtles will automatically walk into the elevator.
On floor 1 eat the pizza and kill the foot that come from behind you.
Floor two is more foot.
Floor three is a few unicycle bots.
Floor four is a bunch of mousers.
Floor five is even more foot.
Floor six is more foot and when their defeated the turtles will get off.

Shredder
This fight is a little unique. Shredder has two attacks. He has mechanical
arms that will grab the turtles and shock them and a crosshair that will fire
bullets at them if locked on long enough. To hurt him you must throw the foot
members at the screen. The best way to do that is to tackle them then throw
them. When defeated Shredder will jump into the screen and banish you to a
time warp.

***********************************************************
6.5 - Prehistoric Turtlesauras
***********************************************************

Theme: Dinosuars
Year: 2500000000 B.C.
When you go forward pterosaurs will drop rocks and foot at you. Destroy the
foot and keep going. Pterosaurs will drop a lot more foot for you to take care
of. At the cave entrance more foot will appear. Take them all down and
continue. Dodge the spikes that fall and kill the rock and foot soldiers that
appear. Yellow foot will appear and throw bombs at you. Follow them and fight
the foot that appear. The bombs the yellow ones throw can hurt them. When
their gone use the super pizza to kill the foot that will appear up ahead.
Exit the cave and some bomb foot will probably take out some of their buddies.
Kill any remaining ones and continue. Outside more foot will appear. Fight
them while dodging any raptors that run at you. They will be noticeable
because the ground will shake before they appear. Go forward and eat the pizza
then kill any foot that appear. When their gone Slash will appear in front of
“Shredder Rock”.

Slash
Slash is the hardest boss of the game especially if your not Michelangelo or
are playing as Donatello. Slash can block any attacks delivered to his front
side. He’ll attack either by slashing you with his sword or jumping around and
he does that A LOT. The only way to hurt him is from behind which is hard to
do. The easiest way to get him is right when he lands from a jump because he’ll
be unprepared. Keep doing this and he’ll eventually roll around and fall off
the cliff.

A good 2p strategy is to surround him. Have one turtle go in front to distract
him while the other one goes from behind and attacks. Once he’s hit you can
have both turtles execute countless combos on him until he gets out of it or
dies. Me and a friend were able to defeat him using this method with Leonardo
and Michelangelo and we only had to start it once.

***********************************************************
6.6 - Skull and Crossbones
***********************************************************

Theme: Pirates
Year: 1530 A.D.
Go forward and kill the foot that appear. Keep going and foot will start
climbing into the ship. Kill them while avoiding the loose boards that will
harm you if stepped on. More foot will then appear which need to be taken care
of. Go past the pillar and kill the rock soldiers that appear. Use the super
pizza ahead to take care of any foot that come. Use regular attacks to finish
them off. Keep going past the next pillar and eat the pizza. Kill the foot and
then rock soldiers that appear. When defeated Bebop and Rocksteady will appear.

Bebop and Rocksteady
Bebop is the hog and Rocksteady is the rhino. Bebop has a whip and Rocksteady
has a sword. They will attack by hitting you with their weapon. If you get
between them there is a chance their weapons will get tangled leaving them
open to attack. Since this is a “double single boss” only one has to be
defeated to win. Just use normal attacks on one of them and when his health
bar is gone they will finish each other off. If your playing in 2p attack the
same one to end it quicker.

***********************************************************
6.7 - Bury my Shell at Wounded Knee
***********************************************************

Theme: Wild West
Year: 1885 A.D.
When you start off hit the barrel at the foot. If you do it right you can run
after it and it’ll kill any foot that are up ahead. Eventually a foot will
jump off a horse and some buddies will appear for you to fight. Keep going and
another one will come by horseback and more will come from inside. Go inside
and some foot will come out of hiding. Defeat them and keep going. Keep going
forward defeating foot and rock soldiers until you get to a pizza. Eat that
and kill and more foot. Keep going and then a lot of foot will appear. Make
short work and them and move forward. Keep going until you get to a box of
dynamite. Use it one the rock soldiers that appear then defeat any survivors.
Keep going and you’ll get another pizza then Leatherhead will appear.

Leatherhead
This guy has a few attacks. On the right side of the screen he go from bottom
to top throwing knives at you or he’ll punch you. On the left side he throw
lobsters at you or hit you with his tail. He also has the ability to get on
all fours and run across the screen. Just hit him when he’s on the left or
right with normal attacks. Also his knives can be reflected back at him. When
he’s defeated he’ll jump off the train.

***********************************************************
6.8 - Neon Night-Riders
***********************************************************

Theme: Futuristic City
Year: 2020 A.D.
First part of this level foot will be coming one by one. Eventually they’ll
start coming in groups of two. After the foot you must dodge the mousers while
collecting pizzas (round and yellow with ? marks in this level). The last part
will have foot come in helicopters with machine guns attached. Use kicks to
defeat them. After that your score will be added up.

Super Krang
After your scores added you’ll see Krang’s exosuit flying in the background.
It’ll eventually turn coming towards you. He has a few attacks. If you get
close he might hit you on the head. He also has the ability to do a charging
kick from one side of the screen to the other. If he goes all the way to the
side he’ll either shoot missiles at you from his chest or spit orbs out of his
mouth and run away. The orbs will drop from the sky and must be dodged using
their shadows. Just use normal combos until his exosuit blows up and he flies
away.

***********************************************************
6.9 – Starbase
***********************************************************

Theme: Mars Base
Year: 2100 A.D.
Run forward and kill the robot going up and down. Keep going and then kill all
the foot and round robots that drop from the ceiling. Kill the rock soldiers
that eventually appear then use the super pizza on the foot and robots that
come. Keep going until you get to a foot teleporter. Kill all the foot that
appear and go. Foot will come shooting out of the chutes in the wall and more
will come from the side. Kill them all. Keep going past another teleporter and
you’ll eventually get to a grid floor and some pizza. Fight the foot while
avoided the grids that turn light blue because they’ll freeze you. Keep going
and you’ll get to a bouncing wrecking ball. Wait for it to come towards and
dodge it. Kill and foot that it doesn’t take out and keep going. You’ll then
be ambushed by even more foot that should be defeated. Fight the rock soldiers
that appear then kill the foot before getting to the chutes. Use the super
pizza to kill any foot that come out of the chutes then kill the rest while
dodging the electric blast which cannot affect the foot. On the other side of
the guns is a pizza and more foot soldiers. Once the foot are gone Krang
will appear.

Krang
After the last battle Krang’s suit was destroyed but now he has a flying
craft. He’ll fly around the area shooting bubbles at you with will trap the
turtles if hit. Eventually he’ll start dropping robots and then teleporting
away until their destroyed. Also if he gets high enough he will attempt to
slam on top of you by coming down hard with his craft. Use a combination of
regular combos and kicks to defeat him. When defeated he’ll blow up and the
turtles will go home.

***********************************************************
6.10 - The Final Shell Shock
***********************************************************

Super Shredder
Upon reappearing in the Technodrome Shredder will transform into Super
Shredder. He has three attacks in this form. They are all noticeable by
different colored flames. If he turns red don’t stand in front of him because
he’s going to set a trail of fire on the ground. If he turns blue don’t jump
in front of him because he’s going to send ice beams in the air. If he turns
green don’t stand in front of him because he’s going to shoot a de-mutating
beam forward. Just execute a combo attack after every attack of he’s and
you’ll win with no problem. When he loses he falls over the edge and the
turtles yell cowabunga one last time.
