Was actually surprised, how well the game mechanics, both overworld and 2D-Sidescrolling worked and blended. More fun than its successor (due to lack of overworld gameplay and poor fighting mechanics in comparison to the anachronistic TMNT - Turtles in Time on SNES, which is my gold standard for the beat'm up-part). Bit unfair at the end, when it comes down to the way to Krang / Shredder. Nice special items and character changing though.
