An ultimately solid 3D brawler that falls apart on the final two stages. I had always thought as a kid that I got slightly boned on just having the GBA game, but this is one of the rare instances where the handheld game is leagues better than its console counterpart. Besides getting some concept art unlockables in the console version, and equally fantastic original music, everything is done better in the GBA version.

Is this worth playing for TMNT fans? Sure, I got a lot out of it and even though I refuse to go for the true ending (just watch that shit online lmao) on this stint, I wouldn't mind going through the entire game with more turtles with friends or family.
