As he did in the cartoon, Baxter Stockman appeared as both a human and a fly mutant in the video games.

He first appears in the first arcade game, as a boss in the Sewer, flying a hovering machine and dropping Mousers. Baxter does not attack the Turtles directly, but the sheer number of Mousers that he can produce keeps the player on his or her toes.

In the NES port of this game, Baxter in his fly mutation replaces the Bebop and Rocksteady dual-boss fight from the arcade version. He flies around with an energy gun and a fly swatter and attempts to subdue the Turtles whilst April O'Neil sits tied up in the background. The NES instruction manual calls him Knat Man to differentiate between the forms - a name which has caught on as a catch-all term within the fandom to refer to his fly form.

Baxter found his way back to his human form for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist, emerging as the final fight for The Gauntlet, behaving much as he did in the original arcade game.
