Hothead as depicted in the opening of Tournament Fighters for NES.

Warrior Dragon appeared in the NES version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters as Hothead. Like the comics, his skin was yellow. (Although the cover artwork has him colored red like his action figure.) Players were unable to play a Hothead vs. Hothead battle due to his sprite's massive size and frames being too much for the NES to process. An issue of Nintendo Power Magazine stated that the reason Hothead could not fight himself was because his Dragon sprite would not allow such a battle to take place. However, a player could force a glitch to fight a CPU Hothead as Hothead; the CPU would have an orange-tinted sprite. However, the game could become unstable while fighting this battle.
