Product Description

Manufacturer Description

In cahoots with excited alien zap master Krang the evil Shredder has once again kidnapped the dashing damsel of the news desk April O'Neil. To rescue this ravishing reporter you must return to the sewers and dredge forth those reptiles with a penchant for pizza and all the nifty knifework of a chop suey chef.

Product Description

The radical dudes on the half-shell are here on Game Boy in TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: Fall of the Foot Clan. This one-player action game follows the outrageous antics of the original party animals, as they set on a mission to save April from the evil Shredder and his Foot ninjas. Choose your favorite turtle from the group of four before you start each of the game's five humongous stages and battle through the sewers, the streets of the city, a construction area, a raging river, the Technodrome, and more. If you're losing energy, be on the lookout for some tasty life-restoring pizza to keep you going. Search the levels carefully for secret rooms, where you'll play one of three different mini-games to earn bonus points and regain life! TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: Fall of the Foot Clan is compatible with all Game Boy systems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a classic, June 22, 2001

I played this game as a young child, and 7 years later it still holds a special place for me. The music is awesome, and the enemies, while slightly repetitive, were nonetheless a good challenge at times. Two features I disliked about it were the option to skip to any level at the beginning (providing no satisfaction unless you started from level 1) and the scarcity of levels. If Konami added maybe 3 or 4 more levels to this game, it would surely be one of the greats.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan stays true to the once popular cartoon series and comic books. Each of the turtles are playable and all of their major enemies have been included. Increasing your life meter can be done by grabbing the turtles' favorite food, pizza. Gameplay is better than average. Each turtle has their appropriate weapon. Every weapon has the same power so the longer weapons of Leonardo and Donatello are the most useful. One button is used for attack and the other for jumping. Jumping seems a bit tight, meaning you can't get too far on a jump. Jumps are best used to go straight up to avoid enemies or making a hop on to the next step up. One other attack is done by crouching and pressing the attack button. This will throw a shuriken. Levels are broken down into stages. When you lose a turtle on a level and have others left you will be brought back to the beginning of the stage you were last on. No continues are offered so you will have to make it through without losing all 4 turtles. Before each level or when a turtle goes down you have the option of selecting another. It is probably best to begin the game with either Raphael or Michaelangelo so you can have the guys with longer weapons for the more difficult levels.
Many small enemies have been created for the game. Your majority of attackers though are from the television series and comic books. Those would be the Foot Soldiers and the Mousers. Most can be defeated with one hit so the challenge should not be too difficult. The whole game takes place while you progress to the right. Graphics look really good. Level backgrounds are detailed enough to give you an impression of where you are. Characters all look like themselves. The turtles can only be identified form each other by their weapons. Sounds are okay but all of your attacks sound the same. You can't hear a difference between a katana blade and a bo staff. If you are a fan of the turtles then Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan should not disappoint you. For those who don't care for the turtles then this game doesn't offer anyhting you can't find somewhere else. As far as action games go this one is not too different from the majority.

This is a great game, nice big graphics for Gameboy. There are only four or five levels and barely any foot soldiers. You start out each level by picking a turtle to play as, if they die, then you pick another. Its not all that challenging, and it can probably be beaten in a day or a week. The graphics are a bit bland, because it came out so early in Gameboy's history. Its more like black on white, no gray.
