Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV - The Hyperstone Heist
                                    Megadrive
                                      
                                 Character Guide


------------------------------

    Table of contents:

  1 ) HP values and Defense
  2 ) Walking speed
  3 ) Attack range
  4 ) Damage values
      a ) Regular attack combo
      b ) Other attacks
  5 ) Attacks Timing
  6 ) Turtles conclusions
  7 ) Bosses HP
 

------------------------------



    1) HP values and Defense

Every turtle has the same max HP: 64.
Defense differs however, my rating:

                Leo: Def - 3
                Mike: Def - 4
                Don: Def - 2
                Raph: Def - 1

I have done these tests against the first Foot Soldier encountered in the game,
who only does the same one attack over over: a simple punch.
I have let the Foot Soldier kill the Turtles and here are the results:

  Leo: Punch dealt 04 base damage. Punch dealt no damage once. One other time, a
punch dealt no damage, but the following punch dealt 08 (double damage).
  Mike: Punch dealt 04 base damage. Punch dealt no damage three times. A punch
dealt 08 (double damage) once.
  Don: Punch dealt 04 base damage. Punches dealt 6 damage when knocked back
(which happened 3 times before death).
  Raph: Punch dealt 08 base damage. A punch dealt 10 damage once. Punches that
lead to knockbacks dealt 12 damage. Once a in while a punch may only deal 04
damage, but once in a while it way also deal 16 damage.

There is a semi random-factor to these values, the same values may not always
trigger at the same moment, but the end results were more or less consistent.



    2) Walking speed

  Horizontal/vertical:
                Leo : 1,5
                Mike: 1,5
                Don : 1,25
                Raph: 2,25

  Diagonal:
                Leo : 1,06
                Mike: 1,06
                Don : 0,88
                Raph: 1,59


The running speed is the same for everyone: 3,25.



    3) Attack range (X-axis) for regular attacks combo

These values are the hit detection range on the X-axis for each of the four hits
of the regular attack combo. 
The values are pixel counts on the X-axis, example: if Leo is standing on X-axis
position 0 (this value corresponding to the center of the sprite),  the enemy
position needs to be 64 pixels away at the farthest for the hit to connect.



                     | Leo | Mike | Don | Raph |
               
                hit 1| 64  |  68  | 88  |  52  |
               
                hit 2| 72  |  68  | 88  |  52  |
              
                hit 3| 92  |  88  | 104 |  72  |
                
                hit 4| 64  |  80  | 96  |  72  |

Note: the range of the back attack is the same for everyone, the value is 40, by
that I mean the attack doesn't trigger if the enemy is more than 40 pixels away.



    4) Damage values


  a) Regular attack combo:

                     | Leo | Mike | Don | Raph |
                
                hit 1|  4  |  6   |  4  |  3   |
               
                hit 2|  5  |  8   |  4  |  4   |
               
                hit 3|  6  |  8   |  6  |  5   |
                
                hit 4|  8  |  10  |  8  |  8   |



  b ) Other attacks: 

                            | Leo | Mike | Don | Raph |

Sliding                       |  10 |  8   |  12 |  14  | 

Shoulder bash           |  8  |  8   |  7  |  10  |

Running kick              |  12 |  10  |  10 |  16  |

Jumpkick (downward)  | 4  |  3   |  3  |  4   |

Jumpkick (upward)     |  3  |  3   |  4  |  6   |

Jumpkick (horizontal)|  6  |  3   |  4  |  4   |

Mid air weapon attack|  8  |  10  |  14 |  8  |

Special                         |  8  |  12  |  14 |  16  |
Back attack                 |  5  |  6   |  6  |  5   | 

Note: 
- An enemy hit by a Foot Soldier that you're tossing around will lose 16HP
(which leaves just 1HP in case that's a Foot Soldier).
- What I call the "running kick" is the horizontal kick that is performed by
pressing both the jump and attack button while running, not to be confused with
the horizontal jump kick.
- What I call the "Mid air weapon attack", is the attack that can be performed
at the height of a jump, during which the Turtles rotate on themselves,
attacking with their weapons.
- The back attack needs to be turned on in the option menu for it to be
performed.



    5) Attacks timing

I was unable to get accurate frame times of attacks, but it is something you can
get a good feel for yourself empirically.

Some Turtles will perform the 4 hits combo faster than others. 
Raph's special was made slower compared to Turtles In Time: it has a longer down
time.

Hits may not register on the same frame for all attacks and for all turtles
either, something to keep in mind.

If I can get more precise data I will update this guide.



    6) Turtles conclusions

Generally speaking the attacks that deal the most damage are: the shoulder bash,
the slide, the running kick, and the "Mid air weapon attack". 

Compared to Turtles in Time, Leo's range was increased, and Raph's range
reduced. Some slight rebalancing was done to the damage values of the regular
attack combo.

All things considered, Mike is probably the best turtle, he has the best
defense, decent range, and hits hard. 

Out of all Turtles, Raph can deal the most damage thanks to his sliding, his
shoulder bash, his running kick and his special.
His shoulder bash is the only shoulder bash in the game that can kill Foot
Soldiers in two hits, and since shoulder bashes do not knock back Foot Soldiers,
that makes it the fastest way to dispose of them in the game.
Raph's defense is very low however and he can die very quickly.




    7) Bosses HP

                                              | Normal | Hard |
                
                Leatherhead           |  192   |  240 |
               
                Rocksteady            |  192   |  240 |
               
                Tatsu                       |  240   |  288 |
               
                Leatherhead (Gauntlet)|  240   |  288 |
                
                Rocksteady (Gauntlet) |  240   |  288 |
                
                Tatsu (Gauntlet)      |  288   |  336 |
               
                Baxter Stockman       |  192   |  240 |
                
                Super Krang           |  240   |  288 |
                
                Super Shredder        |  248   |  336 |
                

Notes:
- Super Krang will only use the bomb throwing when his HP gets below 64
- Outside of HP value, there is another difference between regular Tatsu and his
Gauntlet version: the regular version will only call for more Foot Soldiers once
all 3 of them are defeated, but the Gauntlet version will call reinforcements as
soon as one of them is defeated.
- Baxter Stockman may or may not be able to spawn more Mousers at once on Hard,
I still need to verify this.
- Super Shredder is faster on Hard.

Damage For Raphael's Combos

Note: These combos can apply to any turtle in this game, change values accordingly

Hit the bosses with these moves for a Greater PB

------------------------------------------------------**Number of Times Done**

**Movelist = Damage Value**  -----------------------------**|--4--|--5--|--6--|**

1. **Shoulder Bash x4 =  40 ----------------------------|   160   |   200  |   240   |**
2. **Slide, Shoulder Bash x3   =  44 ----------------------|   176   |   220  |   264   |**
3. **Flip Tackle, Shoulder Bash x3 =  50 ----------------|   200   |   250  |   300   |**
4. **Flip Tackle, Shoulder Bash x2, Free Special  =  56 --|   224   |   280  |   336   |**
5. **Slide, Free Special x3  =  62 ------------------------|   248   |   310  |   372   |**
6. **Free Special x4 =  64 ------------------------------|   256   |  320   |   384   |**
7. **Flip Tackle, Free Special x3  =  68 ------------------|   272   |  340   |   408   |**
8. **Flip Tackle x2, Free Special x2 =  72 ---------------|   288   |   360  |   432   |**

This is a helpful guide to figure out what the best moves to use in combination are.

some bosses very like **Re-color Paletted Rocksteady** will not always be a full 4 hit attack cycle.

Multiple shoulder bashes work great for **Leatherhead** and **Rocksteady** stay alittle north or south of the boss

## Tatsu

1. **Slide, Free Special x3**
2. **Slide, Free Special x2, Standing Special**
3. **Flip Tackle, Free Special x2, Standing Special**
4. **Flip Tackle x2, Free Special x2**

## Baxter Stockman

1. Stockman flies low enough in his pattern that you can hit all your **Standing Specials**
2. **Hop Kick aka Upward Kick = (6DMG)**  This is one of the better moves here
3. **Hop Kicks + Specials** harder move to utilize in this fight but mix it up with your **Standing Specials.**
4. **Dive kick x4 + Falling Sai x1**

**(4DMG)x4 + (8DMG) = 24**

**^5 times for 120 damage**

**^10 times for 240 damage**  these are values from the **dive kicks + peak attack**

Note: watch out for mousers you want to be pixels above or pixels below them so they have to travel.

## Movelist for Quick Krang                                     (Positioning)

1. **Full Basic Combo 1,2,3 & 4 + Basic Combo 1 & 2** (Center Screen, Left Side or Right Side)
2. **Free Special x3**                                 (Left Wall if you're Left, Right Wall if you're Right)
3. **Free Special x3**  "Note: Alternative is Slide, Free Special x3" (Get a Quick Wall Attack)
4. **Free Special x3**                                   (Left Wall if you're Left, Right Wall if you're Right)

**Alternative Quick Krang**

1. **Free Special x6**                                      (Center Screen, Left Side or Right Side)
2. **Free Special x3**                                 (Left Wall if you're Left, Right Wall if you're Right)
3. **Free Special x3**                                 (Left Wall if you're Left, Right Wall if you're Right)

Super Krang will use the bomb animation when his health get below 64HP

### Super Shredder

During his Flaming Animation "Red, Blue or Green"

you can preform a Slide or Dive Kick and damage him immedietly after he flames up.

1. **Slide, Free Special x4**
2. **Dive kick, Free Special x4**

During the Blue Flame this is your best time to strike any combos.

Notes: He might teleport away from the instant damage slide this is random.

Happy Gaming these values are all for Rapheal, **Free Special** is another term for

**Running Special or Running Kick.**

this is just a starter of the movelist values

put together to determine certain boss fight more strategically

Hope it Helps
