Episode 67
After the success of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Arcade Game, Konami had been working on another great Turtles arcade hit - Turtles in Time - but they would wait to bring that game to the Super Nintendo. In the meantime, they wanted to build on what they had done on the NES, so they created The Manhattan project - an all new adventure designed exclusively for the NES!
The new game was bigger and featured tons of new enemies and bosses. The developers pulled characters from the TV show, toys, and even the movies! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: the Secret of the Ooze had recently been released in theaters, so Konami incorporated some of the characters from the film into their new game - Tokka, Rahzar, and even Super Shredder all make appearances here!
So how did this game get to our North American Nintendos? In today's episode we'll find out, and then we'll dive deep into the gameplay where we'll learn:
All about SECRET CODES - Stage Select, Easy Mode, More Lives, and even RANDOM MODE!
How to abuse your new special moves!
QUICK KILL strategies for easy boss fights!
The best strategy for beating EVERY LEVEL - Fight the Foot, and minimize lives lost!
The secret to earning EXTRA LIVES!
BOSS DATA - How much HP do they have? How much damage can they deal - it's all in here!
When to SWITCH TURTLES - Always have the best character for the job!
The best way to defeat EVERY BOSS, even SUPER SHREDDER... AND MORE!
Thanks for watching!

I love TMNT 3. I also love how you have that real sense of progression going from one level to another. So many different types of foot soldiers too.
I am so with you, this is a great game. Level design, visuals, game play, and new moves makes it a win in my book. I never did own it as a kid, only rented it.
Love this game! To this day it's just odd that the box art cover has a Triceraton right smack in the middle but it NEVER makes an appearance in the game. 🤷♂️
Guess the content maker doesn't like to answer people in comments , I put a good question up there , , , dang , ,
I remember being blown away by this game when it came out. Really impressive how much the developers were able to squeeze out of the NES at that point. A technical marvel, but also just a fun side-scrolling beat 'em up. By far the best Turtles game on the NES.
"by far" ? All 3 are really fun and technically impressive for their time. I'd saw the Arcade game has the best aesthetics and soundtrack.
since Turtles in time was released the same year, this one was criminally overlooked. Pretty solid turtles game.
It doesn't help that by this time NES was eclipsed by Sega Genesis and SNES.
Very solid game! 8 levels with sub-bosses in some of them.
Yeah for some reason I don't even remember this game or have even played it.
unfortunately i didn't get snes, so the upside was this was the turtles beatemup I got.
@@lostnumbr 😎
It's amazing that a game this old, on this platform is STILL better than many modern games.
Facts
That's a fact, Jack!
This comment section is full of facts! Lol
@@ChaoticHoly No malarky!
Absolute facts man. But I've heard they're bringing Turtle games back! Shredder's Revenge or something like that. I'm looking forward to seeing more.
When I see the konami logo, I fell a mix of nostalgia, sadness and finally rage.
The only cure for such emptiness is pachinko and bottled water.
UCBV doing this video this week was perfect timing as the TMNT Cowabunga Collection got announced today for all current consoles and this game is apart of that collection.
My toes! My toes!
@@kevinlee7678 This cave is creepy!
This probably was the best TMNT games. So many memories playing with friends and my family members.
Looking back on it, Konami's sprite artists really went all out on the variety of enemies! Many different foot soldiers and rock soldiers with different weapons!
@@edwardgaines6561 NES have a color change mechanism, so the same foot soldier sprites can be used to make several types of them. That saved lots of memories.
@@fishyfinthing8854 àà
I just want to say I appreciate your Saturday morning release schedule. Bringing back my childhood Saturday mornings one video at a time.
I hadn't thought about it like that, but you're exactly right.
@@opinionshurt2905 Nah, fruity pebbles...
This channel is nostalgic to me not only for the games he plays but waking up Saturday morning to watch a new episode of “ my show”!
It's like waiting on Saturday Morning Cartoons
Your guide was just in time. They just announced a full on collection of ALL the major TMNT releases from arcade to NES, GB, SNES and Genesis!
Where? What exactly was the announcement?
The games have like 10 frames of lag. What a shameful port.
@@dansmith1661You know you could turn that off right 💀
This is such a good channel, and I can’t even verbalize why. It’s not like YT lacks any LPs for every game known to man, but there’s something about this guy that brings me right back to 80s and 90s gaming.
Do you think the 'YouCanBeatVideoGames' guy is a boomer like us? I would like to believe so.
@@ThePsychoBone how old are u?
It's because the videos have charm and no forced attitude or click bait bullshit. Definitely one of the best channels around
@@deniskenn Just a couple years younger than you.
@@ThePsychoBone ah then we are considered millenials. Born in the 80s. Boomers are much older
Such a classic. I got this one for Easter one year and played it until I could nearly do the entire game blindfolded. Easily the best Turtles game on the NES. You, sir, deserve a pizza for your work--and naturally, a great big COWABUNGA!
Easter?
@@matthewcerny8009 In a basket no less
Really looking forward to the Cowabunga Collection. I never thought I would be able to play these classic TMNT games on modern systems.
Did anyone else notice that Super Shredder spends the entire time accepting and reacting to nut shots from regular attacks? He even holds his jewels as an animation.
TMNT just released a trailer for a collection of their older games. :)
I remember receiving this game for Christmas in 1992. Even back then, this game was a challenge. There was no internet for me back then, so I had to rely on skill to make my way through this game. I eventually made it to Super Shredder and I remember using Leonardo to fight him. I relied heavily on Leonardo's whirlwind attack and eventually defeated him. I remember feeling very excited when I beat Shredder. He was one of the toughest bosses in this game next to Krang. It's been 30 years since I beat this game and I never had the drive to beat it again. This remains one of the few games I've only played all the way through once in my life.
It helped where you could do the special move even at one bar of health left without penalty where other beat-em ups would not let you do a special move if your health was at that point.
Awesome news. The Cowabunga collection was just announced that comes with 13 TMNT games including this masterpiece
I had this one as a kid and i played it over and over again. This brings back memories, keep up the good work!
Oh man, yeah this was one of the last games I got on the NES, and it was easily one of me and my friends favorites. We would actually beat it most times we played it, and generally by the skin of our teeth after all continues and dangling on our last few lives. lol
My favourite TMNT on the NES and one of the best coop games on the system as well. Thanks for doing this!
TMNT III is a good remembrance for me.
It was the first games that I finished in my humble NES clone when I was a poor boy in Brazil.
This is by far my favorite TMNT game! I remember the day my dad got this for me when I was in middle school, carefully removing the wrapper from the box. I cherished this game very much, to this day I still have it with all its contents.
Damn, this is my worst tmnt game and I dislike it 100%. Its a surprise to me that anyone likes ot.
I really enjoy this game. I go back and forth between Manhattan and Turtles In Time. The only thing I don’t like and Turtles In Time is that it’s the easiest TMNT Game and feels really short.
Manhattan is more challenging and It has better enemy variations and Bosses. It also has the best level design of any of any TMNT Game.
I played this game a month ago, got to Leatherhead and I remembered why I could never beat this game. After watching this video I'm feeling like I can do this 😅 time to get back on the horse
45:48 "And here is a foot soldier manufacturing facility" 😂😂😂 my favorite part of your video 👍
I'm so happy that you are doing this game! I LOVE this game! It should be acknowledged for how many achievements it pulled for an NES game: having four slightly different and unique playable characters, many long levels, great variety in enemies, and some great graphical tricks, such as the battleship slowly coming into view during the surfboard stage, the ascent into the sky, and the subway train, during the city-in-the-sky stage, and elevator stage. It also has a great soundtrack!
Man.. I've been with you since you've had very few subscribers and now look: you have almost 80k! Nice job. Good quality commentary and nostalgic games - great combo!
GREAT review dude !!! This is a the BEST TMNT game of all times !!! Greetings from Brazil !!! COWABUNGA !!!
"I AM THE SHREDDER!!" "A kitchen utensil??"
Dude my brother and I watched TMNT 1, 2, and even 3 on VHS so so SO many freakin times. We had the cartoons with the Turtles driving those like, flying cars that shot red and blue laser-like bullets and Crang and Beebop and Rock Steady are there, Baxter makes an appearance with his Mouzers and Raph threatens him with the line I’ll never forget for some reason “you’d better start talking or I’m gonna have to get sarcastic” lol born in ‘87 so it was the time for it. I got to see, tho unbeknownst to me, the exponential growth of the TMNTs popularity that sprung up in the early ‘90s and hardly slowed since.
This game is amazing, I beat it a few months ago, and came to realize that the final stage has the same theme as "Starbase: where no turtle has gone before" from TMNT 4, and only then I realize that. Thanks for always being like a Saturday morning cartoon show for us!
It also shares the same final boss tune as in _Turtles in Time._
With the Cowabunga Collection just announced for later this year, I may have to play this when that comes out! Great video!
Well the release of this video was timed perfectly! Really excited for the Cowabunga Collection!!!
29:10 Laser Limbo sounds terrifying, like some sort of death game you'd see in a SAW movie ;)
For me, Manhattan Project is easily the best Turtles game on NES.
This was by far my favorite TMNT game of all time. I didn't own an NES myself, as I was strictly limited to 1/2 hour of electronics per day, meaning buying a game system would have been a poor investment of my very limited childhood funds. I always wanted to play this game when visiting friends or cousins who had it. I never managed to beat the game, but I got close once. My cousin and I got as far as Krang before we both ran out of continues, so the only boss I never fought was Super Shredder.
I remember my birthday when I got this game. It's still one of the best games ever.
TMNT 3 was just legendary. I still have great memories of playing it with my brother together.
Gosh, my favorite of the three TMNT games!
Level 4 : VERY disappointed that you didn't play Baseball with the manhole cover throwing foot soldiers. One of my favorite parts of the game :)
Timing is so weird. They just announced a TMNT compilations pack coming soon which includes this game. Glad people will have a chance to try this game.
This is my favorite NES game next to Monster in my Pocket...it's truly a nostalgic masterpiece to me...it's possibly my favorite TMNT game even more over Turtles in Time but it's close.
Holy freaking balls I loved this game as a kid!!
I got this for my 13th birthday the year it came out. 30 years later, and I still know this game inside out and rock out to the elevator stage music in my inner soundtrack.
Antipiracy measures on this one made Shredder unkillable and that was pretty brutal. :)
Ohhhh yeah !
Ill be cooking pizza for this one !
Ur the best man !
Today something we NEVER saw coming is happening, the 4 NES games, the 2 SNES games, the 2 Sega Genesis games, the 3 Game Boy games AND the 2 Arcade games will be re-released in one big collection on all current platforms (Ps4/5, Xbox One/Series, Switch, and PC), this guide I'm pretty sure will help newcomers to the game when the collection is released for sure (the same goes to the previous 2 TMNT videos as well).
I am sure he will get to Turtles in Time and Hyperstone Heist later. He has not done any Genesis games yet, but he will get there.
Another great guide. Will come in handy when The Cowabunga collection comes out later this year.
I can't believe Uncle Phil kidnapped April O'Neil!
The first TMNT game was released in Japan, but before the cartoon and toys were released there. Since it wouldn't have the name recognition, they renamed the game. By the time the arcade game and its Famicom port were released, TMNT had already debuted in Japan. So they decided to keep the TMNT name except they dropped the 2 (ala Square with "Final Fantasy II" and "Final Fantasy III" on the SNES).
This is correct. The original game was translated with the title _Geki Kame Ninja Den,_ or _Legend of the Radical Ninja Turtles._
My name is Josh and thank you for showing your video how to beat Ninja turtles 2 the arcade game I've just beat it I love your UA-cam channel and I love retro video games
Awesome game. Rented it a few times back in the day. Miss those days.
I played the heck out of this game as a kid. I think it was one of the first NES games I bought new. This was also the game I found out about the Konami code (although it's slightly different). A neighbor came over one day and we played co-op. All of the sudden, we were in a different screen where we could select the level, get more lives, etc. I was like "What happened?" Then he told me about the code. He must have been very subtle, because I never saw or heard him push buttons. I even swore at the time he never moved his hands or fingers. Every time after that, he very obviously put in a code, but that first time I almost thought he just willed the screen to appear.
Man, this really brings back some wonderful childhood memories. This game, along with the other Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games of yesteryear, will be on that Konami compilation for modern platforms. Brings a smile to my face…
Turtles totally predicted the state of our bridges!
I always enjoyed this game more than Turtles in Time. Fantastic video! I never owned it as a kid, but it was rented multiple times and thoroughly beaten.
I found Turtles in Time to be the better game, especially the SNES/NSFC port of the game.
I was 3 hits away from beating shredder when I was a kid. Then my brother bumped the nes with his foot and my dreams were crushed.
I have an asshole cousin who would "accidentally" bump the NES or unplug the outlet. He thought it was super funny. One day I was pretty far into a game of Ducktales when he "accidentally" unplugged the brick with his foot. I lost it and "accidentally" bumped his face with my fist a couple times. He never did that BS again.
@@MattGarZero Thankfully my brother is just a clumsy dolt and didn't make a habit of being a dooche.
@@novaomega7337
My cousin did 🤣
He's in prison due to chronic douchebagery.
Cowabunga Collection, baby!
This game is being re-released as part of the Ninja Turtles Cowabunga Collection
I like how these start with a history lesson
“Don’t wanna get hit by some kinda strange laser limbo beam” 😂
😲 wow. TMNT 3? This is totally left field. This is possibly one of the most
st slept on games Konami ever made and knowing how your skills are, this is gonna be a treat. I did beat this. It's a well made game and it's better than the second game to me
Those "robot Foots" appear to be based on Fugitoid who was a Turtles ally in the original comics and the toyline.
Thanks for doing this game! A favorite rental of mine when I was a kid. Local gas station (remember renting from the gas station?) had a small selection of about 24 NES games, and over time I rented them all. This one was probably the best.
Though we co-oped the heck out of this game, we never quite beat it. Glad to see your playthrough, though! :)
Best tmnt game ever played
I like this channels format.
This was one of the best TMNT games ever made.
This is easily my favorite TMNT game of all time. I wish this game would've had an Arcade version like the TMNT 2 game did. So many cool bosses, Foot Soldiers, and stages. I love this game.
Gotta love those generous invincibility frames that your turtle gets during the special move. I'm playing TMNT3 and struggling, but I'll have to give it another shot now that I know some of these techniques.
Thanks for playing this, really appreciate what you're doing as it helps relieve the weekly stress. More power to you and your channel and keep on gaming :)
I always wondered why Turtles in Time was TMNT IV on the SNES, but I was too lazy to figure out why. Thanks UCANBVG!
Leatherhead is tough I have the Cowabunga Collection!
Now that the tmnt collection has been announced, I’ve been watching your tmnt vids.
Great game, When my brother and I used to play this together we joked that the boomerang Foot Solders were Banana ninjas.
The last boss is super shredder, meaning that it’s Kevin Nash. Just let him tear his quad and then you’ll be able to beat him easily
An often overlooked, but stellar beat-em-up on the good old NES.
yooo i was thinking the other day if you would ever play this game. me and my brother used to play this when we were kids its one of our favorte nes games
You forgot to tell these ppl who didnt know but if it stand in the line of fire when he throws that manhole at you you can do a normal attack an it will smack the manhole back at him an kill him even an expert on this game should know that but i still love your vids an i will point out things you forget to tell ppl as you play
Quick correction: Our _TMNT1_ WAS released in Japan, but just under a different name. In Japan, for whatever reason, our _TMNT1_ was released as _Gekikame Ninja Den_ (literally _Fierce Turtle Ninja Legend_ ). Besides the language differences, for whatever reason, April O'Neill is Master Splinter's biological daughter in that version of the game. Anyway, great walkthrough as always!
Ironically, in one version of the TMNT franchise, not only does Shredder have a daughter, but Splinter has one as well.
LOVE this game. I always start losin lives around the floating island lol. Great video! Keep em rollin!
This was my favorite NES game of all time. Good times
Damn, my favourite nes game and it was also my introduction to the turtles franchise. Great video btw. Gonna replay it right now! with your strategies of course!!
My brother and I beat TMTN 3 so many times as kids. Great game!
Hey UCBVG ever since I discovered ur videos on UA-cam I had to subscribe and im still not disappointed if I think of a game that I think tiu should do can I suggest it to you keep em comin, you bringing it back to when VG's were shall I say AWESOME u the man man
Ill never play this game, but I enjoy listening to the videos
love the new look with Nintendo power on the side!
I remember my dad spitting like $30 in quarters at this resort we went to on vacation, on the teenage mutant Ninja turtles arcade machine. Just so my brother and I can beat the game!!!
TNMT holds a special place in my heart
One of the best games on the NES!
Ahhh..the weekend is now complete.thanks man!
Just a tip that I wanted to share on fighting the rock soldiers that are carrying the steel/wooden beams: if you stand at the maximum range of your basic attack, you can hit them, and they can't reach you. Also, you can bait them into swinging the steel beams, and you can then slash at them when they are in the process of swinging.
Ah, now this was my go-to beat-em-up on the NES back in the day. Rented it once from a local video store (known then as Popcorn Video) and then got it the following Christmas~
Another classic upload. I stay tuned every weekend for these. Please keep up the great work.
thanks for the upload my fav tmnt game on nes :)
Poor Mike never gets any love
That Triceratops character never makes an appearance....Was looking forward to seeing it
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO PUT THIS GAME ON PS4 AND PS5 :)
Always loved this game. Love your content. Have been subscribed since the beginning. Found it interesting in this game that the points changed depending on how you killed an enemy. 400 for the throw attack and the jump kick. But 600 for a standard attack and only 200 if you finished an enemy with the special attack. Keep up the great content!
Absolutely love this channel. The guides on the left are totally well done. The passive jokes are awesome during play. Good quality and well done video.
If you ever put out a longer guide like Final Fantasy again, I'd love to see you tackle a King's Field game! They're for the PS1, but are no harder than Legacy of the Wizard and no longer than Dragon Quest 1!
I love kings field!!!
@@broncosbreaks hell yeah! I just finished playing 2 (3 in japan) and I loved it
The classic Konami sounds. The foots breaking the glass is the same as the holy water with Simon Belmont. Awesome video brother
I'm about to go pick up breakfast and watch this
Jeez you killed Shredder with a super kick to the balls. What a way to go out.
