donatello - very strong, very slow raphael - very fast, very bad weapon leonardo - balanced overall michaelangelo - better'n'average weapon Q: What's the deal with that water jump in area 3? A: If you hold down the A button you'll always wham your head on the ceiling and fall and die.. so.. just repeatedly -tap- the A button. Q: aggggghhhh, where are the ropes? A: They're found in a building halfway up on the left side of the subscreen map in area 3. the ropes are in the basement. They're used automagically; when you on a roof, look for those small knobs near the roof's edge. Touch them and the rope shoots out. Q: Where do I rescue turtles in area 3? A: In the building on the mid-bottom of the subscreen. Q: Could you give me, like, a walkthru for area 3? A: Wimp.. sigh.. [tsr harkens back to the days when people would be able to complete "Raiders of the Lost Ark" on the 2600, without the manual, in a matter of minutes] well, whatever. - In order, go to the lower-left section of the map. - Now go to the lower-right section of the map. - Halfway up the right side, change direction and head for the middle of the map. - in the middle of the map you'll find three blinking lights (on the subscreen). - Your goal is to reach thost blinking lights! Q: Oh no, you didn't tell me I'd have to fight mechaturtle after doing this!!! A: Shaddup. Should've been prepared. I hope you have lots and lots of scrolls, 'cos you'll have to fire them at high rates until mechaturtle finally dies. once he actually becomes the robot, stand on the top-right platform, kneel and scroll away until he dies. Q: So where are my dead turtles in area 4? A: tunnel 13. Q: I hate actually thinking; tell me how to get through area 4. A: You dork. I hate you. In order, go to tunnels 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 12, 15, and 17. The object is to get to tunnel 18. Q: oh, bloody 'ell, there's that mouser thingy now. A: Yes, there is. Q: ...mbl grmmbl... A: What? What is it? I sense hostility. Q: Tell me how to kill him! A: Oh. .. Well, all I did was to stay under his mouth and stab up with leonardo's katana. That should work. Q: Where are my dead turtles in area 5? A: In the building right near the center of the map. In the basement. Q: There's a point to area 5, isn't there? A: Yeah, I suppose so. The object to area 5 is to find the Technodrome, whose location is random (use the subscreen to find it). You can get to the Technodrome by using one of the four manholes.. all you need to do is to go to the bottom of each manhole and look for a door with a FootSymbol(tm) above it. Enter this door; if the screen turns black then you've found the right place; if the rooms turn orange in color, get out of there! Q: Wait .. fuk .. I suppose I'm supposed to singlehandedly make the techno- drome explode, right? A: Right! You're finally catching on! - First, stand on the far left and fire off all of your scrolls. - When they're gone, destroy the force field in front of it. - Afterwards, attack the technodrome's hatch (the place where the soldiers come out). - Then the two turret guns, then the eye (stab upward when it opens). Q: Yay! Area 6! Hey! WTF is the deal with my map? A: It's broken. Can't you read? Q: Yes, I can read .. .. A: Good! Now, what's that say? Q: "m.. mmm. mmmap is now .. broww. ken? sooo i ... ammm .. lost." A: Astounding! Q: Yeah, but what do I do?!?!? You're a pretty bad factsheet author! A: Shut the hell up. From the start, go down two screens. Go left and up the ladder. Go left and through the door. Go left, then down five (5) screens. Go and through the door. Go right and up the ladder. Go left and through the door. Wow, it's shredder! Q: So how do I kill him? And be cooperative this time! A: I'm always cooperative; it's -you- that's the trouble. As soon as you can, kneel down on the right side. Start firing off scrolls and hitting shredder as he lands. jump up to the platform and shoot again; shredder will jump up and down on the platform. repeat as necessary.
