Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Smash-Up is a versus fighting game for the Nintendo Wii. A 2.5D platformer fighting game, it is similar to Nintendo's Smash Bros. series. The game is published by Ubisoft and is developed by former members of Team Ninja (responsible for the Dead or Alive and more recent Ninja Gaiden games) and Game Arts, who worked on Super Smash Bros.

Story
The story of the game is currently unknown, but the story is being written by Peter Laird.

The game's style is based upon the 2007 movie, but is not based on any particular continuity, meaning characters from any and all continuites could appear in the story.

Gameplay
The engine of the game matches that of the Super Smash Brothers series of video games, but there are a few differences, one being that rather then a hit point counter, you have an actual health meter. Gameplay videos show that some characters are able to perform a wall kick, allowing them to jump off a wall. There is also an emphasis on using the enviroment to fight, meaning that in one stage, you will be able to use a sign to electrocute your enemies, and the enviroment also forcefully changes, meaning that fights will not always end at the same place.
