Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003 video game)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a video game of the beat 'em up genre released in 2003 by Konami. The game is based on the Ninja Turtles 2003 TV series. The main gameplay loosely adapts the following season one episodes: Things Change, A Better Mousetrap, Attack of the Mousers, Meet Casey Jones, Nano, Darkness on the Edge of Town, The Way of Invisibility, Notes From the Underground (Parts 1-3), and Return to New York (Parts 1-3) as well as a level that is not derived from the animated series at all.

The player can play as either Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo or Raphael. There is a story mode for one or two players, and there is also a versus mode where two players can fight head to head.

A Challenge mode is unlockable by defeating Oroku Saki with any Turtle in the Story Mode.
