Appearances[]
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus[]
Zanramon appears in the console version of the game and is shown primarily in animated cutscenes. He is first mentioned and shown in an animated cutscene by The Fugitoid, when entering the first area of the Triceraton Homeworld. Zanramon is later shown again by another animated cutscene, this time by Traximus as he explains his situation of being locked up. Zanramon appears at The Games as he watches the Turtle prisoners survive their impending doom against the Spasmosaur. The Turtles however are able to turn the tide of their situation to their favor: they knock out the Spasmosaur and seize an opportunity to take Zanramon hostage, leading to the escape of both the Turtles and The Fugitoid. As they all head toward a docking bay, some Triceratons begin firing on the hover platform the escapees are all on. Zanramon orders the troops to stand down but one of them fires on the platform, hitting it. This knocks Zanramon off of it and he lands to the docking bay platform in the hands of Triceraton troops. Meanwhile, the Turtles and The Fugitoid escape the Triceraton Homeworld by hijacking Zanramon's personal cruiser. Zanramon isn't shown again after this appearance.
Aside from the aforementioned appearances, Zanramon is also mentioned in a collectible Antique that is a figure of himself. He also makes an appearance in unlockable production art and has his name mentioned in an unlockable toy production art.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare[]
Zanramon returns in this title, serving as one of the main antagonists of the game. He is the primary antagonist of the game's first Episode, which involves the Triceraton Republic invading Planet Earth. At the Episode's final Chapter, Zanramon himself faces off against the Turtles piloting a giant machine of his own, the Trigolem. Despite his power, he was ultimately bested in combat.
Trivia[]
- In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus, an unlockable piece of production art spells his name as Zanroman (the second a and o are swapped).
