@@Marc_Araujo Yeah, we rented that one and found out the hard way you can't beat it with 2 players. Then found out years later the game needs the player to be near autistic to even have a chance. Great first level. The rest of the game was dog excrement. lol
I agree. Nowadays, the only things they're known for are Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Pro Evolution Soccer, and YuGiOh. They have so many classic franchises collecting dust. As a Konami fan from the 80s and 90s, it's sad to see.
+AnimaxRules happened that Konami in the sixth gen made hundreds of bad and forgettable games that ruined their finances (much like Capcom) and the seventh gen nailed their coffin with awful third party games and few and terribly bad in house games leaving aside Metal Gear, PES and the first Castlevania LoS (By Mercurysteam). Simple as that
+Horacio Ferreira and let's not forget the actually amazing Bemani series of arcade games. Those are still turning a profit and are extremely addicting. I truly believe this is their last bastion before they get sucked into a blackhole of greed, and ignorance... if Bemani goes then they are dead to me!
One of reasons I loved this soundtrack is that it employs the "heroes in a half shell" riff in a good majority of the stage themes, and in such creative ways. Turtles in time was my favorite game, but the music in manhattan project was the best from all turtle related games.
Probably because of how late it came out. More than a handful of games released late in the NES's life cycle were awesome but never got much pay because by then, everyone was hyped about the SNES.
80s-90s were the best year a kid could be born and start playing video games and I know because I born in the 80s . The music of this games and the quallity of the games is nothing you will ever see today ! To find a few good games today it's like finding a 40 years old wine or wiskey ! I wish I still have a NES with all the epic games and play them again and again . The most I like about the NES Era games is the music that is mind blowing !
Definitely the best turtles game on the NES. I was lucky in a way that I was able to play this game a ton as a kid. Obviously this game came out late in the NES lifespan and most people already moved on to the snes by then. But I was one of the few who didn't have an snes yet and I asked for and received this game for my birthday that year. Super good game that is under appreciated because of when it came out.
Fue uno de los primeros juegos que tuve en la vida y guardo gratos recuerdos de él. Recuerdo que de chiquito siempre perdia todas mis vidas con Bebop, despues fui llegando mas y mas lejos hasta que lo terminé. Hoy en dia me lo termino muy facil yo solo (Antes necesitaba la ayuda de un primo)
Uno de los mejores juegazos de la NES incluso había varios cartuchos con opciones de ajustes de dificultad muy despiadados como bosses realemente muy duros y enemigos muy agresivos. Sin dudas jugarlo acompañado era lo mejor de esa epoca en la NES que hermosos recuerdos tengo de mi NES ;,) .
I think it's safe to say that the TMNT soundtracks just got better and better for the NES. TMNT1 was so good, TMNT2 was even better and thenTMNT3 was just freakin' awesome. One of the rare occasions in which sequels surpass their predecessors. God I love the 90's NES music! Thanks Wiiguy309 for uploading!
They were in the studio just killin it. This soundtrack is so awesome! Like they did it with passion! Would and heart! Those Japanese music composers must of LOVED teenage mutant ninja turtles!
This game had wonderful music. I remember the first time I played this game. Me and a friend were 12 years old. It was a Friday going into Saturday type of night and I was staying over there. We smoked weed and then played this game for hours. It's a great soundtrack.
My favorite NES soundtrack game of all time with Megaman and Batman games barely behind this one. Ninja Turtles 3 is the reason why Metal music became my favorite genre ever since as a kid.
My personal favorite TMNT game with my personal favorite TMNT soundtrack. I always felt this one was underrated being sandwiched between TMNT 2 and Turtles in Time, both ports of popular arcade games. But I love this one
20:15 has been remixed twice. Once for the SNES, and again for one of the GBA games. Really would like to hear a mash-up of all three, or something similar, if anyone's willing to make one, or an S-level remix, if you've got the skills.
Konami games had the best music man. This game brings back so many memories. I remember getting this as a Christmas present in the mid-90s. I grew up overseas so we didn't get the latest tech and gadgets until way after they came out in the States but I remember getting this and playing with my brother for literal HOURS while our parents watched.
+Sebastian Gonzalez Villarreal Nope they weren't in the game, not even one lol. I always wondered why. Maybe they intended to make one as a boss but couldn't do it. I had a toy Triceraton back in the day, they looked pretty cool. Such a shame. Those were the days when games had deceptive covers.
Anybody else notice the compositional beauty of the box cover art? Raphael points his pair of sai diagonally to the left, which is Triceraton. And his laser beam points diagonally to the right, which is Leonardo and the airborne Manhattan. A clever eyeline to follow! 👍
Wow, Konami really knew how to work the NES's sound chip and it shows highly with this game. Funny enough this almost sounds like heavy metal converted to 8 bit; lots of 8 bit guitar soloing going on here big time! My favorite just has to be Mechanical Walkin. WHAT A TUNE!
Fuck.. yes. This was one of the first games I had ever played, my dad got the copy from his friend along with the NES for my first birthday, and I would often watch my dad play every day, barely managing to get to the Technodrome. Every time I think of this game, i remember this one day where i was so happy to see that he stayed home from work and we played the game and ate pizza. As a child, it was bliss. This soundtrack always resonated in my head, and is my favorite of the 3. Sewer BGM Rocks!
The most radical game I have ever played. I mean, the game just starts off with turtles on freaking Florida and ends in space, kicking Super Shredder's ass. Fuck. Yeah.
It's funny how much a simple game title can cause so much trouble :D I might have actually played one of those pirate cartridges that contained TMNT 3...
I am pretty sure the "5:56 Unused Theme (Cutscene)" is actually not unused. It may have been used in the very first options, when you choose the amoun of players, but you had to wait some time in the menu. I could be wrong though.
@@Justin-Hill-1987 Ackchyually, I've been told that this time it _was_ a bespoke cover they'd commissioned Michael Dooney for. Except they forgot to tell him anything more than "Manhattan floats and the game has a ton of bad guys", so he just went ham and ended up with 1000 Foot soldiers, mousers and a triceraton. And Casey Jones is also there, chilling in the back (mostly cut off, I suspect the original piece was a little wider than NES box format). So that's two characters who never show up. I would've personally just done Foot clan + Shredder to be on the safe side, lol.
Amazing game! Incredible soundtrack. Of course, Konami's sound team can craft a soundtrack that stays in your memory for years to come. Surprisingly, there aren't enough covers for these tracks here on UA-cam. This whole soundtrack just begs for a piano cover (or a medley, at least)! How awesome would that be?! If only I had the skill to do it myself... This game was actually hard for me to find on store shelves. Even rentals at blockbuster video were few and far between.
Glad you finally have the download link of this up!! Great Nostalgic soundtrack for me!! What do you use to create stereo separation in NES soundtracks?

What a friggin incredible childhood we all had
I'm saying. We grew alongside technologies peak. Part 2's came out of nowhere and showed us what's to come
Best turtles game ever.
They certainly hit best on the third game ;D
***** And we didn't get it in Europe :(
Turtles in Time was my fav, but this game ranks an extremely close 2nd.
I liked TMNT3: Battle Nexus for the GBA. It's probably number 2 on my list.
Best NES Game ever !!!
I grew up beating this game over and over with my brothers. Nothing but good times.
Same here.... I can still smell the nostalgic moments when I listen to this
I highly doubt you beat this as a kid...Super Shredder was no joke.
@@Marc_Araujo lol If you have a summer with nothing else to do, you can beat almost anything.
@@Spotcats ...def not Battle Toads.
@@Marc_Araujo Yeah, we rented that one and found out the hard way you can't beat it with 2 players. Then found out years later the game needs the player to be near autistic to even have a chance. Great first level. The rest of the game was dog excrement. lol
Very, very underrated game in this series and a very, very underrated soundtrack.
This has got to be one of the best NES soundtracks of all time.
Agreed. Best overall of all the Turtles games, for sure.
It's really about Double Trouble.
Konami, WTF happened to you!! king of the 90's
No games from present will ever compare to the 80-90's games ! Never ever !!
Florin Liviu I disagree. the early silent hill and metal gear solid games are amazing
I agree. Nowadays, the only things they're known for are Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Pro Evolution Soccer, and YuGiOh. They have so many classic franchises collecting dust. As a Konami fan from the 80s and 90s, it's sad to see.

Best NES soundtrack. And probably one of the best games on the NES, in top ten easily.
Konami were wizards on the NES sound chip.
this was by FAR my best NES game I owned back in time... By graphics, by music, and by gameplay!
One of reasons I loved this soundtrack is that it employs the "heroes in a half shell" riff in a good majority of the stage themes, and in such creative ways.
Turtles in time was my favorite game, but the music in manhattan project was the best from all turtle related games.
That's true! I never noticed that until you mentioned it and got me thinking. Good catch!
Never understood how THIS AWESOME GAME didnt receive enough recognition, unlike its prequel which wasnt as good.
Probably because of how late it came out. More than a handful of games released late in the NES's life cycle were awesome but never got much pay because by then, everyone was hyped about the SNES.
Its beacuse the snes came out first. The 3 games are awesome. It will be awesome if we get those games on the ps4, switch and xbox. It will be cool.
you don't understand how many copies of Street Fighter II were soLd for SNES that year?
It didn't even come out in Europe at the time.
@@christianvega12341 Well dude, your wish came true!
6:02 One of the best damn music in the game!
Yes ❤️📈
Bridge of Danger - EPIC
ITs amazing! lol
Agreed. Best song in the game.
So good!
80s-90s were the best year a kid could be born and start playing video games and I know because I born in the 80s .

The music was great!
First Last it was epic not great
@Kagemusha
Why thank you ^^ i was born in the 80s
There was no casual mainstream bullshit games. It was a 100% gaming era for gamers.
@livius well said bro

This soundtrack is amazing. Konami always kills it with the Ninja Turtles soundtracks.
10:25 is still my favourite track of all. And one still lacking a remix, unfortunately.
They were in the studio just killin it. This soundtrack is so awesome! Like they did it with passion! Would and heart! Those Japanese music composers must of LOVED teenage mutant ninja turtles!
They really pushed the NES hardware to it's limit! Even some 16 bit game music don't have such complex tone! COWABUNGA!!!!!!!!
My faves (in video play time order):
1:48 Let's Go Turtles
7:19 Bridge of Danger
16:13 Break Down
17:31 Theme of Half Shell
Do you not like Double Trouble? The Sewer Stage?
@@lrjtmntfan
I do, but it isn’t a favorite. I like all of the OST. : )
A good game starts with good music :D
***** that game sucks lmao
Sonic 06 has great music
lmao

15:00 is when things start going up....and 16:13 is when things start going to hell. The musical flow between those two tracks is quite impressive.
This game took my brother and I years to beat when it came out, thanks for the upload! Great to hear this again
that Double Trouble theme Rocks
The most badass ost a kid could ever grow with
Scene 7-1: Turtle Power 15:'00 AMAZING!!!!!!
You know, we may have not faced any Triceratons in this game, but most of us enjoyed it anyway. ^_^;
this soundtrack rocks!
perfectly for excercise
It's my first vidiogame...nostalgia...
I've never played this game before, but it has an awesome sound track. It might be the best sound track over all of any Ninja Turtles game.
greatest video game music of all time and i mean of all time
My personal favorite TMNT game with my personal favorite TMNT soundtrack. I always felt this one was underrated being sandwiched between TMNT 2 and Turtles in Time, both ports of popular arcade games. But I love this one
This is pure heavy metal in 8 bit, yeaaaaah
20:15 has been remixed twice. Once for the SNES, and again for one of the GBA games. Really would like to hear a mash-up of all three, or something similar, if anyone's willing to make one, or an S-level remix, if you've got the skills.
Teenage Mutant Ninja 🐢🐢🐢🐢 3 The Manhattan Project Is A Great Soundtrack For The Boss Battle @ 1:48 4:35 6:02 7:19 8:50 10:25 12:12 12:39 14:09 14:54 15:00 16:13 17:31 19:05 & The Final Boss Is The Super Shredder @ 20:09 20:15 & The Ending Cutscenes @ 21:30
One of my all-time favorite game soundtracks... thanks for posting this...the surf level theme was definitely my favorite...memories
Double Trouble is the best for me
That beginning of Double Trouble... One of the best tracks from the game!
Konami games had the best music man. This game brings back so many memories. I remember getting this as a Christmas present in the mid-90s. I grew up overseas so we didn't get the latest tech and gadgets until way after they came out in the States but I remember getting this and playing with my brother for literal HOURS while our parents watched.
One of the raddest 8-bit soundtracks I've had the fortune to hear. Nice to have it in this quality!
Thanks.
Manhattan project is one of my favorites!
The best of the Turtle games on NES baby!!
This was the first video game I ever played in my life.
I play this as a kid in 90s
Move Out My favorite song T_T¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ My memories....
22:57
As comforting as a cool air conditioned room on a hot summer vacation day...
I mean, whenever I heard 3:18, I'd usually associate it with Slash. None of the other mid-bosses posed as much of a threat as he did.
Awesome music, beating this game as a kid was quite a challenge (BTW i don´t remember that dino dude in the game....).
Sebastian Gonzalez Villarreal FYI they are called triceratons.
sneakyCR Tmnt Dino dude works for me, but really are they even in this game?!
+Sebastian Gonzalez Villarreal
I always wondered that myself as a kid.
+Sebastian Gonzalez Villarreal Nope they weren't in the game, not even one lol. I always wondered why. Maybe they intended to make one as a boss but couldn't do it. I had a toy Triceraton back in the day, they looked pretty cool. Such a shame. Those were the days when games had deceptive covers.
+MyHeadAsplodes A greater enemy diversity is always welcome in a beatem up, such a shame they didn´t include them.
Krang's music scared the shit out of me as a kid.
It just sounds so disconcerting especially after he splits in two.
+TehMorbidAtheist I hated that bastard!

Used to play this game this game in my childhood and now playing this tracklist in 2022 just like the reader.
Awesome soundtrack, thank u for this, used to play this game a lot growing up ❤️
One of the best and one of my favorite game of all time!
Fuck.. yes.

Romel Czaykowsky Jr. it definitely has that ''Ya Kid K'' vibe
Thank you so much for uploading this. I feel like covering them all lol
The most radical game I have ever played.
I mean, the game just starts off with turtles on freaking Florida and ends in space, kicking Super Shredder's ass.
Fuck. Yeah.
Bridge Of Danger and Breakdown
Hands down, the BEST.
What happened to you Konami, you used to be cool.
- Hey! I'm still cool! Cowabunga Collection.
This is up there with OST's like Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, Shadow of Coll.. and pretty much everything else.
Whos looking forward to the cowabunga collection?
This was one bad ass ost i still remember....composers had fun with this i see lol
Why not have fun when you've got such a high record of composing great tunes :P
I just love the cast theme! The whole soundtrack is great!
Excellent Work! : D
Scene 3 & 6 HARDCORE!!!! Absolutly love all of these anyway.
This game's soundtrack is so good that it was one of Jake Kaufman's inspirations for going into video game music.
in my opinion this game had the best soundtrack of the trilogy
This was the best TMNT entry on the NES in my opinion!
I would love to see Anamanaguchi make covers of all these classic songs with their style.
+ima311boy Apparently they are not going to do chiptune music anymore.
That's a shame
ima311boy
Yeah... Well at least that's for the next album they are going to release. Maybe they haven't given up on chiptune forever, who knows!
+MyHeadAsplodes Chiptune is insanely hard to program compared to just recording music. I'm sure they are getting tired of it.
Hit him up.
My childhood and the first TMNT game that i owned on my famiclone
Awesome stuff Wiiguy! Thanks for uploading this!

One thing that always kinda bugged me about this box art: Why is there a Triceriton on it? There's none in the game.
My guess was it was recycled from a comic book cover, much like the cover for the first Turtles game for the NES...
@@Justin-Hill-1987 Ackchyually, I've been told that this time it _was_ a bespoke cover they'd commissioned Michael Dooney for. Except they forgot to tell him anything more than "Manhattan floats and the game has a ton of bad guys", so he just went ham and ended up with 1000 Foot soldiers, mousers and a triceraton.
And Casey Jones is also there, chilling in the back (mostly cut off, I suspect the original piece was a little wider than NES box format). So that's two characters who never show up.

The credits theme is probably one of the best I've heard ever
4:35 greatest boss theme ever
The best soundtrack of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for NES.
Glad you finally have the download link of this up!! Great Nostalgic soundtrack for me!! What do you use to create stereo separation in NES soundtracks?
I forgot how much I like the Krang theme.
scene 2: move out absolutely rules
I really like the 8-bit remix of the Starbase! Also, the american box art is pretty hardcore, which is like in the comics.
Great game. Im sure this used all the power of NES because it has lots of sprites and different sounds
Vibin hard
6:02 I would play this game for just this music. And would just sit there and not advance through the stage
double trouble is just sooo goood!!!!
jherek last my personal favorite in the game
jherek last Easily the best of the OST.
The triceraton postponed his debut so he can prepare to wreck shit in tournament fighters
how there are 18 dislikes on this !! not even Shredder would hate this
love the bass tone
3:18 is still Slash's theme. Always hated that particular mid-boss.
Another smashing A and B button for an hour game. Only this time it comes with special moves.
Taaaatsuuujin!!!!
I came for the outro music
Tomoya Tomita has, interestingly, composed some Nintendo soundtracks as well...Kirby's Epic Yarn is one of them.
TMNT 3 is unhighly underrated imo. Someone should remake it.
