Of special note are the 2 auto-scrolling bonus levels, one of which makes use of the famous Mode 7 graphics. TMNT IV has dropped some of these heavy outlines and thus produced cleaner images.

The NES games contained a great level of detail, but it was almost too much detail for the low resolution.

Turtles in Time really looks like it took its inspiration from the animated series rather than the other games that seemed to borrow both from the comics and TV show liberally. Perhaps the greatest improvement is the somewhat retooled visual style that most closely resembles the animation from the cartoon series. Visually this is a great game it feels like it came straight from the cartoon. Though TMNT IV remains fundamentally connected to its predecessors, a few new innovations and upgrades help to propel it into distinguishable waters.

Co-op mode is the ideal way to go, where two people can take on a colorful variety of foot soldiers. Like the second and third games, the player assumes the role of one of the Turtles and sets off to foil Shredder and Krang’s plans to rule the world or just kidnap April. Well, I haven’t quite played every TMNT game, and I’ve certainly not come close to playing every beat ’em up, but Turtles in Time does a great job of expanding upon the brainless bashing set forth on the series’ NES installments. Even today, used copies have landed at a respectable but affordable price point in the SNES’ increasingly valuable library and it’s also been hailed by some outlets as the best beat ’em up and/or the best TMNT video game. The original arcade version was a huge hit for Konami, and it gained even greater popularity once ported to the Super Nintendo. Trekking through old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games has brought me to one of the most acclaimed of the bunch, Turtles in Time.
