Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Game Boy Advance video game)
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a side-scrolling beat 'em up video game developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Konami for the Game Boy Advance in 2003. Based on the 2003 animated television series of the same name, the game allows players to control Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo as they battle the Foot Clan and other villains.
The gameplay involves navigating through various stages, defeating enemies with punches, kicks, and special moves. Players can switch between the four turtles at any time, utilizing their unique weapon proficiencies and abilities. The game features a health bar and a special meter that allows players to perform powerful attacks. Stages typically culminate in boss battles against notable antagonists from the TMNT universe, such as Shredder and Hun.
The game's plot follows the initial episodes of the 2003 animated series, depicting the Turtles' encounters with April O'Neil, their battles against the Foot Clan, and their initial confrontations with Shredder. The narrative is presented through text-based cutscenes between levels. The Game Boy Advance version attempted to emulate the style and tone of the animated series, including its art style and character designs.
