Snes version is better then the arcade. Only think good about the arcade version is that it 4 players Snes version as way better music and bosses. Prehistoric Turtlesaurus you fight a blob snes you fight slash
I can smell the breadsticks, the pan pizzas, see and hear the chatter of families enjoying a Friday night back in 92. I remember having to be held up to play this. Good times became greater one day when we were baking at my boy’s house in 2015. We stumbled across his SNES, and this was already in the slot. This game can only be enjoyed at it’s true potential with your brothers.
Krang steals the Statue of liberty The TMNT go after Shredder & Krang to get it back. While on their adventure they get stopped by Shredder (Sewer Sufer arcade) (Technodrome SNES) you get sucked in a time portal and transported to different time periods while finding your way back to the present. Beat Krang & Shredder & return the Statue Of Liberty to its rightful place. THE END
Nostalgic... I remember going to Chuck E Cheeses with the family, sitting down ordering an Extra Large Pizza, with icy cokes, eating my pizza as fast as I could to exchange my $1 dollar allowance for 4 tokens, and making it last all night playing this game... giving high fives to other kids everytime we would pass a level lol Good old days in the early 90s and mid 90s :)
I completely resonate with this sentiment myself, and honestly the fun of experiencing stuff like this at that time in the arcade is something you can’t describe properly unless you were there! Was awesome
they had TMNT 4 back then? I didnt get to play this game until i went to the Nick Hotel on the last year of it's run. Guess my nearest one got rid of it before i could even go, i do remember the one i went to had the very early 80s arcade games there though, and even oddly enough a Genesis station with Sonic 3 but oddly enough this one was no where to be seen. (either that or maybe it was there and i just didn't care enough to try it back then? idk)
If Konami decided to make a remake to the Snes port of the game, the 2020 level should have the hoverboards and stuff, but the boss is Krang but with bat wings and a new coughing attack.
Isn’t it amazing how good this game still looks? The animation of the characters is top quality, same of better than current side scrolling games. I wonder why they don’t release this game and the previous for modern consoles, it would be a guaranteed success.

Fun fact; in a cutscene for TMNT: Mutant Melee, 2003 Leo can be seen playing Turtles in Time on "Big Apple: 3 AM", and getting up to where Krang shows up saying "Prepare to die!", before he tries to pass the buck to Mikey after the producers and camera crew are watching him, since Leo said he was saying he was doing research for the game (Mutant Melee). But this remains one of my favorite TMNT games, along with its SNES counterpart!

There should've been more levels, like... Ancient Greece/Rome with Bebop and Rocksteady gladiators serving as bosses Medieval Europe with the Rat King "Pied Piper" as the boss Feudal Japan with Tatsu as the boss
I can dig that. Although I wish they would follow the SNES variation of levels. Big Apple: 3 AM - Baxter Stockman Alleycat Blues - Metalhead Sewer Surfin' - The Rat King Technodrome: Let's Kick Shell - Tokka and Rahzar/Shredder Prehistoric Turtlesaurus - Slash Friends, Reptiles, Quadrupeds (Ancient Rome) - Cement Man Knights of the Round Shell (Medieval England) - Dirtbag and Groundchuck Teenage Mutant Samurai Turtles (Feudal Japan) - Tatsu Skull and Crossbones - Bebop and Rocksteady Bury My Shell at Wounded Knee - Leatherhead Neon Night-Riders - Super Krang Starbase: Where No Turtle Has Gone Before - Krang Technodrome: The Final Shellshock - Super Shredder Although it would make for a long-ass game, that would be pretty epic.
@@Partyboy22 Here's how I would do it... Big Apple: 3 AM - Baxter Stockman Alleycat Blues - Metalhead Sewer Surfin' - No boss, same as arcade Technodrome: Let's Kick Shell - Tokka and Rahzar, no boss fight with Shredder. Instead he just sends you back in time. Prehistoric Turtlesaurus - Either Slash or Cement Man The Colisseum: Maximus Amphibius - Bebop and Rocksteady gladiators The Rat King of Hamelin (medieval Germany) - The Rat King Teenage Mutant Samurai Turtles (Japan, 1500s) - Tatsu Skull and Crossbones - Groundchuck and Dirtbag as pirates Bury My Shell at Wounded Knee - Leatherhead Neon Night-Riders - Super Krang Starbase: Where No Turtle Has Gone Before - Krang Technodrome: The Final Shellshock - Shredder
This is something i dreamed as a fan on the Super NES which only had a 2 player mode. Thankfully they managed to give fans the option with the 4 player mode today
In the time warp sequence, they should have had the dinosaurs, Ancient Greece, the Middle Ages, the pirate ship, the train, the skyboard, Starbase and back to Technodrome for the final battle with Shredder!
I wish the designers had used the voices of Cam Clarke as Leonardo, Barry Gordon as Donatello, Rob Paulsen as Raphael, Townsend Coleman as Michelangelo, James Avery as Shredder, Pat Fraley as Krang, Baxter Stockman and Metalhead, Jim Cummings as Cement Man and Leatherhead, Peter Renaday as Splinter and General Trag and Renae Jacobs as April O'Neil who were the voices of them for the 1987 animated TV series to be the voices of them also for the 1989 and 1991 arcade games too. When the people of Konami had made The Simpsons arcade game in 1991 the same year the Turtles In Time game was made, they had used the same voices of Dan Castellaneta as Homer, Julie Kavner as Marge, Nancy Cartwright as Bart and Yeardly Smith as Lisa to be the voices of them also for the arcade game too, so why couldn't the designers also do the same by using the voice actors who voiced as the characters of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 animated series for the 1989 and 1991 arcade games too? That is what I would've done if I were in the designers' shoes to design the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1989 and 1991 arcade games!
Classic awesome game. Thank you for uploading this video. I've got this game on my smartphone and tablet (along with TMNT: The Arcade Game). Emulator versions can't beat the original classic. I like the moments where Michelangelo was sitting around while his brothers fight for justice.
That's why I love arcade games! Have a bad day at work? Wife leaving you?Walk in your daughter doing weed? POP A QUARTER IN AND IN 10 SECONDS YOU'RE MURDERING SHIT! LOL
I see why they made a lot of the changes to the SNES version that they did. Better bosses, removal of most of the annoying voices, addition of the Rat King and a Technodrome level...it was just better.
The voices weren't "annoying" and they didn't remove them to make a "better product". They removed them only to save on memory and because of those hardware limitations. It was actually one of the things that made it a DOWNGRADE and that was a negative change. Also negative changes the SNES version made were that they scaled down the sprites, removed a LOT of animations, and cut the frame-rate down by 1/4th.
@@the-NightStar Nice try, but (a) your opinion doesn't count as fact, and (b) if they were just trying to save on memory, why did they ADD voices to announce the name of each level? Of course they had to scale down the sprites and framerate; the resolution and processing capabilities of the SNES was much lower than the arcade machine. That would be necessary for any port of the era. Removal of the voices...not necessary if you're willing to add the memory. And frankly, adding multiple new levels and bosses is a worthy tradeoff for losing the few frames of animation necessary to make it work on the SNES. And sure, my opinion doesn't count as fact either...but you're going to have to convince (as of this posting) at least 15 people that it'd be better if they'd added a couple unneeded animations back in and cut out multiple levels and bosses.
So I understand this arcade game was made in 1991. The SNES version was made a year later, and the story and gameplay was a lot more sense. For instance, after you battle Shredder the first time at the technodrome, he will personally banish you into the time warp. Then later in the game, you will be transported back to the technodrome where have to battle Shredder again, but he will be transformed into Super Shredder. This arcade game is good in my opinion, but the SNES version is much better because it contains more levels, more actions, and of course more bosses!
the mode 7, the throwing enemies at the screen and the more recognizable rogues as end of level bosses, the only thing that suffers is the 2 player limit.
@@Omaru1982 The mode 7 was not there in the SNES version. It was just 3 frames of animation into the screen. No mode 7. The SNES cannot handle it unless it used a FX Chip
That theme song tho! From now on I'm listening to "Pizza Power" when I m cooking pizza. Great game too. I remember this was kind of popular in the arcades, but hard to find to rent on SNES, AND difficult to buy now!

16:58 Mikey is so busy laughing he forgot that was actually meant to be a fight.
He's laughing at that one time when "a fellow chucker" thought he could battle him. 😂
Maybe he should have brought bagels instead of the pre-ritual pre-fight donuts, LOL! 🐢🤣🐢

someone in 2099 will be saying the same thing
I was looking foward to that :(
As Doc Brown says, Great Scott! 🤣
I wish there was some kind of ultimate edition for this game. With the graphics of the arcade version and the extra content of the SNES version.
This game was the only game that had me wishing for more siblings.
Haha ikr
I wish I had at least 1 brother. Boys tend to like games more than girls.
oh come on WHAT ABOUT AVP , xmen , AVENGERS and ALIENS ??
@@guyvergrimlock5506 X-men arcade was cool. I remember seeing the 6player cabinet for the 1st time at a place called nickel and play in Omaha. There's actually an arcade near me that has a 6player cabinet.
@@FredsFeedandSeed wait there was a 6 player O_o holy shit ... the only ones i saw were 4's and that included times square *not to mention the pizzarias on my block*
Wow! Looks so fun with 4 players.

First time I saw this at our local arcade, jaws dropped 😮
Fun fact; in a cutscene for TMNT: Mutant Melee, 2003 Leo can be seen playing Turtles in Time on "Big Apple: 3 AM", and getting up to where Krang shows up saying "Prepare to die!", before he tries to pass the buck to Mikey after the producers and camera crew are watching him, since Leo said he was saying he was doing research for the game (Mutant Melee). But this remains one of my favorite TMNT games, along with its SNES counterpart!
Baxter stockman 2:35 metalhead 6:16 time warp 10:23 cement man 13:11 tokka and rahzar 16:54 leatherhead 21:32 super krang 25:44 krang 31:24 shredder 34:09
It would have been better to have tokka and rahzar as the bosses of prehistoric turtlesaurus and have slash as the boss of skull and crossbones and have shredder be fought in both his normal form and in his super form.
@@EarlyGene sabías que Slash la tortuga iba aparecer en este juego Ya que en los datos del juego se escucha un audio de él diciendo your history slime Ball no sé por qué lo habrán quitado
@@leandroromero9973 I dont know what you said but yes, Slash was an awesome boss in the prehistoric level..
@@rhey81 porque no lo pusieron en el arcade
@@rhey81 He was an awesome boss. He could be defeated within 7-8 seconds due to mechanic that they introduced, if used correctly can be abused easily and also applicable to some other bosses as well.
The Pizza Power song is the best part throughout this entire video.
One of the best openings ever.
Damn bro.. I almost started crying not even a minute into this video lol.. The nostalgia hits my soul like a mach truck! I remember my cousins and I would play 4 players non stop at chuckee e cheese around 1993-94 or so.. Good times man.
I heard arcade1up sells a tmnt cab now
Mikey's Idle Expression Is Priceless!
I know I wasn’t around during the time, but this believably one of the best retro games I would love to enjoy, 80-90 games are my thing too! ;) 👍
I was born in 1986, and I have played these kinds of games against people at arcades a few times, and it is just as fun as you would expect it to be.
Wow 1986 that's when my baby sister was born, also beat up era games might have started in 1986 Renegade.
0:02 even this game has horrifying meme Mikey in it.
A proper Turtles game in 2021 from the same devs who brought back Streets of Rage! LET'S GOOOOOOO!!!!!
No really...

That is what he said!
I love the soundtracks in this game
Being a game critic I absorbed how different this was compared to the snes version it wasnt just animation/graphics , 4 players and all the voice inputs , I scanned about 15 different things.
Cowabunga collection have this and the snes version and more games
Thanks god THANKS!!!
One of the best from the 90s !! Simpson’s arcade was also up there
Never cared for Simpsons game x-men was dope a 6 player arcade game

Classic game for sure. Played this one on MAME some years back. Now get my fix for this game on SNES.
9:45 And that's why Michaelangelo is my soul animal.
Just played this in an arcade yesterday. I ran out of quarters on the Dinosaur level, but I had a blast playing.
2021 And This Game Still The Best TMNT Game Ever

PIZZA POWER!!!
A flyin' saucer food delight...
PIZZA POWER!!!
That's what makes us feel all right!
What’s the song from?
There should've been more levels, like...
Ancient Greece/Rome with Bebop and Rocksteady gladiators serving as bosses
Medieval Europe with the Rat King "Pied Piper" as the boss
Feudal Japan with Tatsu as the boss
I can dig that. Although I wish they would follow the SNES variation of levels.
Big Apple: 3 AM - Baxter Stockman
Alleycat Blues - Metalhead
Sewer Surfin' - The Rat King
Technodrome: Let's Kick Shell - Tokka and Rahzar/Shredder
Prehistoric Turtlesaurus - Slash
Friends, Reptiles, Quadrupeds (Ancient Rome) - Cement Man
Knights of the Round Shell (Medieval England) - Dirtbag and Groundchuck
Teenage Mutant Samurai Turtles (Feudal Japan) - Tatsu
Skull and Crossbones - Bebop and Rocksteady
Bury My Shell at Wounded Knee - Leatherhead
Neon Night-Riders - Super Krang
Starbase: Where No Turtle Has Gone Before - Krang
Technodrome: The Final Shellshock - Super Shredder
Although it would make for a long-ass game, that would be pretty epic.
@@Partyboy22 Here's how I would do it...
Big Apple: 3 AM - Baxter Stockman
Alleycat Blues - Metalhead
Sewer Surfin' - No boss, same as arcade
Technodrome: Let's Kick Shell - Tokka and Rahzar, no boss fight with Shredder. Instead he just sends you back in time.
Prehistoric Turtlesaurus - Either Slash or Cement Man
The Colisseum: Maximus Amphibius - Bebop and Rocksteady gladiators
The Rat King of Hamelin (medieval Germany) - The Rat King
Teenage Mutant Samurai Turtles (Japan, 1500s) - Tatsu
Skull and Crossbones - Groundchuck and Dirtbag as pirates
Bury My Shell at Wounded Knee - Leatherhead
Neon Night-Riders - Super Krang
Starbase: Where No Turtle Has Gone Before - Krang
Technodrome: The Final Shellshock - Shredder
Partyboy22 I was hoping Shredder was going to drink some mutagen after he appeared to have been beaten and go full on, Super Shredder mode.
Throw in Neo Tokyo just for fun.
I'm weak! Mikey at the end of the Sewer Surfin level, just laughin his ass off... 😂😂😂 classic!
This is something i dreamed as a fan on the Super NES which only had a 2 player mode. Thankfully they managed to give fans the option with the 4 player mode today
I still remember this old TMNT 4 arcade game from the Arcade at the old Allegheny mall from my childhood
Having actually watched pieces of the 1987 show finally a lot of this game makes considerably more sense now.
TMNT, AVP, Final Fight, X-Men, and Sunset Riders were the deal back in the 90s.
Sunset riders yoooo! I forgot about that one!
In the time warp sequence, they should have had the dinosaurs, Ancient Greece, the Middle Ages, the pirate ship, the train, the skyboard, Starbase and back to Technodrome for the final battle with Shredder!
Tmnt and battletoads will always be my favs😀
I wish the designers had used the voices of Cam Clarke as Leonardo, Barry Gordon as Donatello, Rob Paulsen as Raphael, Townsend Coleman as Michelangelo, James Avery as Shredder, Pat Fraley as Krang, Baxter Stockman and Metalhead, Jim Cummings as Cement Man and Leatherhead, Peter Renaday as Splinter and General Trag and Renae Jacobs as April O'Neil who were the voices of them for the 1987 animated TV series to be the voices of them also for the 1989 and 1991 arcade games too. When the people of Konami had made The Simpsons arcade game in 1991 the same year the Turtles In Time game was made, they had used the same voices of Dan Castellaneta as Homer, Julie Kavner as Marge, Nancy Cartwright as Bart and Yeardly Smith as Lisa to be the voices of them also for the arcade game too, so why couldn't the designers also do the same by using the voice actors who voiced as the characters of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 animated series for the 1989 and 1991 arcade games too? That is what I would've done if I were in the designers' shoes to design the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1989 and 1991 arcade games!
This makes me warm inside during this covid19 pandemic
What better way than to spend your time having a blast playing a beat-em-up game with 3 more friends?
Doing that and *Then* eating some well deserved Pizza afterwards, of course!
Gotta give props to Konami this was a great sequel.

TMNT's 2020: They got hoverboards.
Our 2020: We got Coronavirus.
In 1987 they had robots so they were even more advanced than us then.
”Winners don’t use drugs” say that to the turtle snorting pizza in the corner
he dont smort he just swallow it from is noise
Classic awesome game. Thank you for uploading this video. I've got this game on my smartphone and tablet (along with TMNT: The Arcade Game). Emulator versions can't beat the original classic. I like the moments where Michelangelo was sitting around while his brothers fight for justice.
I don't know who gave me a like but thank you very much.
That's why I love arcade games! Have a bad day at work? Wife leaving you?Walk in your daughter doing weed?
POP A QUARTER IN AND IN 10 SECONDS YOU'RE MURDERING SHIT!
LOL
I see why they made a lot of the changes to the SNES version that they did. Better bosses, removal of most of the annoying voices, addition of the Rat King and a Technodrome level...it was just better.
Bebop and Rocksteady as pirates... Super Shredder... I agree... better story
Also the first fight with shredder before being vanished in time
Jared Johnson and slash
The voices weren't "annoying" and they didn't remove them to make a "better product". They removed them only to save on memory and because of those hardware limitations. It was actually one of the things that made it a DOWNGRADE and that was a negative change. Also negative changes the SNES version made were that they scaled down the sprites, removed a LOT of animations, and cut the frame-rate down by 1/4th.
@@the-NightStar Nice try, but (a) your opinion doesn't count as fact, and (b) if they were just trying to save on memory, why did they ADD voices to announce the name of each level?
Of course they had to scale down the sprites and framerate; the resolution and processing capabilities of the SNES was much lower than the arcade machine. That would be necessary for any port of the era. Removal of the voices...not necessary if you're willing to add the memory. And frankly, adding multiple new levels and bosses is a worthy tradeoff for losing the few frames of animation necessary to make it work on the SNES.
And sure, my opinion doesn't count as fact either...but you're going to have to convince (as of this posting) at least 15 people that it'd be better if they'd added a couple unneeded animations back in and cut out multiple levels and bosses.
Fighting every Boss: WHO NEEDS TO EVADE OR BLOCK WHEN YOU CAN DEAL MORE HITS!
This was absolutely awesome fun... Spent so much time on this...throwing guys into the screen for 3 points everytime.
You could get this at walmart
Lol I loved the fact you could throw them at the screen 🤣
If someone could hack this version to include the SNES bosses and stages, it would be the definitive way to play the game.
So I understand this arcade game was made in 1991. The SNES version was made a year later, and the story and gameplay was a lot more sense. For instance, after you battle Shredder the first time at the technodrome, he will personally banish you into the time warp. Then later in the game, you will be transported back to the technodrome where have to battle Shredder again, but he will be transformed into Super Shredder. This arcade game is good in my opinion, but the SNES version is much better because it contains more levels, more actions, and of course more bosses!
NSGLV4 I was never able to throw a foot ninja to the screen .Soni lost to shred.
the mode 7, the throwing enemies at the screen and the more recognizable rogues as end of level bosses, the only thing that suffers is the 2 player limit.
I was born in 1991 when it was made and out came out I love this game love it all.
Agree, and having the Rat king as sewer boss and pirate Bebop & Rocksteady, and Slash instead of that mud monster, waaaay better
@@Omaru1982 The mode 7 was not there in the SNES version. It was just 3 frames of animation into the screen. No mode 7. The SNES cannot handle it unless it used a FX Chip
That theme song tho! From now on I'm listening to "Pizza Power" when I m cooking pizza. Great game too. I remember this was kind of popular in the arcades, but hard to find to rent on SNES, AND difficult to buy now!
Luckily, this game has made a return as part of "The Cowabunga Collection."
So, uh... it's 2021. Where's our hoverboards and bright neon futuristic cities?
Too bad that they don't exist in real life. :P
@@WizardOfWor Yep. Reality is always disappointing.
I wanna live in a future similar to Back to the Future 2 and Turtles in Time.
Reminds me of Hyperstone Heist on the Sega...spent so many hours playing that when I was child boy
