Hints for playing the Game

Stage 1:

First of all you have to remember to always move right. Moving left will loose Time so you have to build the muscle memory to know how to walk through. An easy way to loose less time while attacked from behind is the double slash:

- Attack the enemy and instantly change sides while the animation goes to attack in both directions at one!
- Jumping is fast! While Jumping youre still moving and can attack without stopping movement.
- Gamebound Lags occur if there are too many enemys on screen so the console reaches its limits. Especally the Kind-of-Bird Enemys and the Bats have to be cut down to lessen the strain on the console.
- There is a Limit of Enemys that can spawn at the same time! So when youre followed less to no enemys will spawn in front of you!
- Stage 1 Quickkill is easy by kicking him (Kicks do more damage) youll need 4 Kicks to bring him down but the invincible time after your second kick is slightly longer than after the other hits so you need good timing.
- If your going to be hit remember that you can cancel the hitanimation by attacking yourself at the same time youre hit.
- Hint: After a stage the cutscene will count the remaining Life to your Overall Points. The less live you have left the faster the Animation is over! BUT! Loosing live on purpose for that only saves time if you stop the hit animations with an attack that on top cuts down enemys. So getting hit on purpose is not recommended.

Stage 2:

- Important in Stage 2 are the Kickjumps who are slightly faster than the normal jump. You can speed up falling by kicking midair. Also you will need to use the double kick several times. It works the same as the double slash but in midair.
- Remember that at the end of a stage you only proceed once there are no enemies on screen. The Big spheres rolling at you also count in there. There is a way to not let the last one spawn by not killing the foot soldiers until youre up the stairs but i didnt make it faster yet.
- Quick kill is instantly kicking to the left and then time the invincibility time to kick again. Between his Shots and himself is a small place you can stand and attack without beeing hit.

Stage 3:

- Jumping is Key Flies are Death. Its all about muscle memory.
- Quick Kill is nothing Special: Hit it 2 times in air once at the ground and again finish it off in mid air. You will get hit like 2-4 Times while doing that cause the bullets spawn randomly. If you only have 1 Live left it might even be faster to let him kill you on first shot and finish him with raphael.

Stage 4:

- Despawn of the Fishes will help you immensely in this level. Everytime you jump out of the Water the Fishes leaving your screen will despawn. Also Try to only Jump while beeing on the Floating Wood. If you move on them for too long you will lose time cause they float to the left side.
- Quickkilling Shredder is something i just found out the other day. His Invicible Time varies pretty much so this is how you get him out fast: JumpKick over him to land one. He will teleport to the left then Jump Kick again (Which will not hit) to make him slash to the right and Kick him in the Back in midair (This one hits). You do the same pattern on the right but without the back kick since the first on will hit this time. You repeat the Front-Back Kick on the left side once again and finish him off on the right with a normal slash from the front. This will finish him in about 20 Seconds.

Stage 5:

- Grind it! Beeing held by robots or moving into the flashing traps will cost time! Always Kickjump the robots because they kill it instantly while they survive a groundslash.
- Quickkill on the Final Boss is easy but the timing is hard. To be save you can just stand there to slash spam him from ground this will work in 8 hits. You can do it Slightly faster by kicking him and directly kickjump him again after the hitsound is over. You only have about 2 Frames to hit him there otherwise he will jump through you to the other side. The Quickkill with jumpkicks will save you about 3-4 seconds.

Tips for 100%

It's great to see some new interest in TMNT:FotFC. It's an awesome game, and I've spent way too much time playing it.

First off, this is just a bunch of suggestions for those of you going specifically for 100%, and before you do anything, be sure to check out RyukaShinrai's Any% guide, since all of that is relevant for doing 100%.

EDIT: RyukaShinrai does mention doing a "double slash," I feel a little more attention should be paid to the fact you can attack left and right if you quickly change the direction you're facing after you attack. Cleanly clearing enemy groups is key to getting good times.

You will lose record runs to the number guessing game. It shows up 3 out of 8 mini games, and it totally sucks. If anyone can figure out how to manipulate it, you'll revolutionize the 100% category. Even if you pass, using all your guesses will be slower than guessing it quickly.

In the Krang mini game, you should clear the top row on your first turn. This gives Krang fewer moves, and it's usually easy to force a win depending on his first move, sometimes his second. With practice, you can clear this one with very little trouble.

In the target practice mini game, never get a perfect score, since the perfect bonus takes more time than missing even the slowest target. To maximize time saved, the targets moving down will usually move the fastest. Do shoot all but one if you can manage it, but never get all of them. Also, you can mash the A button as fast as you want, there is no limit on ammo or time between shots, it all depends on your aim and how fast you mash.
