Season 21 part 2 woohoo! Fantastic game. Seeing as how I managed to surprise myself with how far I got with TMNT 3 last season, we'll see if those new skills will transfer back to TMNT 2...

 

Gotta get @wongojack back in for this one!

Lost to Bebop, which I feel was typical without continues, codes, or game genie bitd. 

 

TMNT II - 132

[fakecortex]

Got another game in, died on Bebop again. Won't be able to play this weekend. Interestingly, I got 130 (with the bonus point for scaring the skateboarder, which I missed before), which means there were 3 more enemies in my first game.

I was hoping to get some more playtime in this weekend and see if I can make it to the end, but wasn't in the cards.  I know I used to be able to finish this one, but not sure if I've ever done it without continues.

I think this game is a lot easier than TMNT3. Most bosses are fairly easily dispatched with jump kicks and your special move (A then B in rapid succession... some roll their thumb whereas I like to use my first two fingers on the buttons) kills most regular enemies in one hit. TMNT3 has the tougher enemies and bosses as well as being much longer.

 

The last two bosses are a pain though. Krang takes an ungodly amount of hits, and Shredder has a cheap insta-death beam.

 

I wish the easy point pressing such as with the sewer boss didn't exist. So many NES games are kind of broken in terms of scoring. It's hard to avoid getting some extra points accidentally.
