Foot Ninja (sometimes named Foot Soldier) are a common enemy in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video games. They often carry different weapons, such as bo staffs, bow & arrows, and katanas, although they typically do not take on different appearances/colors as their 1980's counterpart did. The exceptions would be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare (which had standard, purple, and red versions of the Foot Ninja), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade Attack (which had blue and red Foot Ninja), and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Double Damage (which added yellow Foot Ninja). These instances appeared to be deliberately invoking the multi-colored Foot minions of yesteryear.
TMNT: Mutant Melee introduced the very first playable Foot Ninja.
Trivia
In Mutant Melee, Michelangelo quips upon defeat by a Foot Ninja: "All right, I'm convinced that the Foot are a horde of robots!" - an allusion to the Foot's incarnation in the 1987 series.
