+ | '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (T.M.N.T. トーナメントファイターズ), known as '''''Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles: Tournament Fighters''''' in Europe, is a 1993 fighting game developed and published by [[Konami]]. It is a fighting game based on the ''[[:Category:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' multimedia franchise, featuring characters from the comics, cartoons, and toy line. It was one of three fighting games released by Konami under the same title, the other two versions being for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] and [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]]. | ||
− | + | ==Story== | |
+ | The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and their allies must travel to various planets in Dimension X, fighting clones of themselves, to rescue Master Splinter from the supervillain Krang. | ||

+ | | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters, Character Select.png | ||
+ | | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters, Stage Select.png | ||
+ | | Character and stage select}} | ||
+ | The game is a tournament fighting game in the style of ''[[Street Fighter II]]'', featuring characters from the ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles''. Players can choose to play as any of the four Ninja Turtles or their four allies. In each match, two combatants try to knock each other out by draining their opponent's life gauge. The winner of the best of three rounds is wins the match and can move on to the next opponent. Each round has a 99-second timer; if time runs out, the fighter with the most life left wins. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Characters move with {{left}} and {{right}}, crouch with {{down}}, and jump with {{up}}. The game uses the standard three-button controller, with only two buttons for attacking: punches with {{A}} and kicks with {{B}}. To perform stronger punches or kicks, the player must hold the D-Pad toward the opponent while pressing either attack button (including the lower diagonals for strong attacks while crouching). Characters block attacks by holding in the direction opposite to the opponent. Characters can grab or throw opponents by holding in the direction of the opponent and pressing an attack button while close. Grabs and throws cannot be blocked. Characters can taunt opponents with {{C}}. Sometimes characters become dazed after suffering repeated attacks; they become uncontrollable for a short period while stars circle their head. | ||
− | + | Each character has a selection of unique special moves performed with particular button combinations. Additionally, each character has a special desperation attack that can only be used when they are close to death and the red part of their life gauge is flashing. These moves are especially devastating and can cost as much as half of the opponent's life gauge if successfully landed. | |
− | + | After a match finishes, the game presents an instant replay of the end of the battle. | |
− | == | + | ===Modes=== |
− | = | + | The main single-player mode features the turtles and their allies traveling to various planets in Dimension X, fighting against clones of themselves, as they seek to rescue Splinter from Krang. The player can choose the first stage (which corresponds to a particular opponent). After defeating the eight clones, the player travels to the final three stages to fight against a Triceraton, Krang's Android, and Karai. |
− | |||
− | + | The game has a two-player versus mode, a practice mode in which the player can pick a computer-controlled opponent to face in one round, and a tournament mode where the player attempts to defeat 88 opponents with a single life gauge. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | Players can change the difficulty level of computer opponents (from the easiest at 1 to the hardest at 8), the number of rounds (1, 3, 5, or 7), and the number of credits (3, 5, or 7) as well as toggling the timer in the options prior to starting the game. After selecting a character, players can also change the strength and speed of their characters separately (from the weakest or slowest at 1 to the strongest or fastest at 8). | |

The winner of the best of three rounds is wins the match and can move on to the next opponent. Each round has a 99-second timer; if time runs out, the fighter with the most life left wins.
Characters move with and , crouch with , and jump with . The game uses the standard three-button controller, with only two buttons for attacking: punches with and kicks with . To perform stronger punches or kicks, the player must hold the D-Pad toward the opponent while pressing either attack button (including the lower diagonals for strong attacks while crouching). Characters block attacks by holding in the direction opposite to the opponent. Characters can grab or throw opponents by holding in the direction of the opponent and pressing an attack button while close. Grabs and throws cannot be blocked. Characters can taunt opponents with . Sometimes characters become dazed after suffering repeated attacks; they become uncontrollable for a short period while stars circle their head.
Each character has a selection of unique special moves performed with particular button combinations. Additionally, each character has a special desperation attack that can only be used when they are close to death and the red part of their life gauge is flashing. These moves are especially devastating and can cost as much as half of the opponent's life gauge if successfully landed.
After a match finishes, the game presents an instant replay of the end of the battle.
Modes
The main single-player mode features the turtles and their allies traveling to various planets in Dimension X, fighting against clones of themselves, as they seek to rescue Splinter from Krang. The player can choose the first stage (which corresponds to a particular opponent). After defeating the eight clones, the player travels to the final three stages to fight against a Triceraton, Krang's Android, and Karai.
The game has a two-player versus mode, a practice mode in which the player can pick a computer-controlled opponent to face in one round, and a tournament mode where the player attempts to defeat 88 opponents with a single life gauge.
Players can change the difficulty level of computer opponents (from the easiest at 1 to the hardest at 8), the number of rounds (1, 3, 5, or 7), and the number of credits (3, 5, or 7) as well as toggling the timer in the options prior to starting the game. After selecting a character, players can also change the strength and speed of their characters separately (from the weakest or slowest at 1 to the strongest or fastest at 8).
