STORY

The object in Tournament Mode is to beat everyone to earn more and more
money. If you win the tournament, you could become the richest person in
the world!

The object in Story Mode is to fight various foes to free April and stop
Karai. You can only choose one of the four turtles for this mode.

The object of the Versus Mode is to beat the crap out of your friend.
This mode is for two players.

The Battle Screen

It should look roughly like this (I love ASCII art!)

The more times you hit your opponent, the more you build up energy. If
you get the Energy Bar flashing, press Fierce Punch and Fierce Kick at
the same time to do that character's Ultimate Attack.

The Life Bar indicates how much more energy you have. If it gets reduced
to nothing, you lose.

The Option Screen

Game Level: The difficulty of the game
Control Pad: Adjust the controls here. I prefer:

Fierce Punch: Y
Normal Punch: X
Fierce Kick:  B
Normal Kick:  A

Game Time: How long each round is. Choose from 30 Seconds, 60 Seconds, 90
Seconds, or Unlimited Time.

Game Speed: Normal=Normal Speed. Hi-Speed 1 or 2 makes the game go
faster.

Credits: Continues if you lose. Choose from 1, 3 or 5.

Music: Play the different Music selections in the game.

Voice: Play the voices in the game.

Sound: Choose from Stereo or Mono Sound.

Exit: Get out of here!

Tips and Tricks:

Press away from your opponent to Block. This can be useful for taking
less damage from Special or Ultimate attacks, or just dodge them
altogether.

If you block Ultimate Attacks, you still take some damage. Sorry, that's
just the way it goes.

Everyone has their own personal regular attacks. The way you do them is
the same, but they are different for each fighter.
