Turtles In Time on SNES is a beat-em-up masterpiece in my eyes. It has some of the best design I've ever seen of this subgenre. This game was so good that it inspired Kamiya to make Devil May Cry! I think.
What really sets the SNES version apart from the original arcade release would be the core design. How you move, attack, and how the enemies interact with you is completely different. The options you have as one of four turtles makes movement feel fluid and if you're good enough at controlling them, you'll never lose your pace. The way enemies get stunned on impact encourages you to keep up your aggression so they don't get a chance to hurt you. Dissimilar to the arcade version, where they have i-frames after getting hit for no reason. Just like the last game.
The music is also vastly improved from the arcade counterpart, it screams pure arcade action even more than the arcade version! Hard to decipher, I know. While the obvious advantage in the arcade version of Turtles In Time is 4-player co-op, the extra stages and overall better design makes it the superior version by far.
