    According to Wikipedia, Raphael died at 37 years old. It was said that he "died from exhaustion brought on by unceasing romantic interests". So, yeah. He boned till he croaked. Though it also says that "other possibilities have been raised by later historians".

    When he pronounces “genius” a little funny I think it’s a play on “genus,” the taxonomic category above species.
    Not only are the turtles unable to understand genius, but nobody has any clue what genus those freaky mutants even are.
    P.S. The turtles won in my book… but Raphael the artist was hilarious.

    just noticed it, but on Da Vinci's line "I like to keep it mellow, lemme pass it to my man Donatello" may be a reference to the personality of Da Vinci. The idea behind it is that while Da Vinci was very introspective to the world around him (i.e. creative and inspired a lot) he still used that and painting to make a living, so it's probably a reference to his desire to not get into trouble. The most evidence for any of that though is in the Assassins Creed II trilogy, where he actively is portrayed as staying out of trouble despite still having to swallow his pride and work for The Vatican even though he knows the Borgias are shit people.

    Just to give you a heads up, the first kickback loopstation battle between Robin and Frosty finished and they really upped the level and brought some surprises. I know Kickback doesn't do as well as GBB in terms of views, but at least in terms of people following it there's a lot of hype for this one. Though they won't announce winners until all the quarterfinal rounds are done. Anyways, just thought I'd keep you updated.

    as others said, it was the first nes tmnt game what was hard as hell. 2 and 3 were great side-scroller beatem ups. 1 was a 2d platformer that required excellent button control. someone mentioned a hard jump. i know it. you had to tap the jump button just right to make it, cause if you jumped too high (IE just mash the button) you hit your head on the ceiling and fell to your death.
    alot of people talk about the underwater level. but that one just requires practice to get the swimming right. bit like learning to swing fast in a spiderman game. it was the inside of the technodrome that was the real impossibility. I could go through the entire game perfectly. no damage at all. then died completely to the first screen after you beat the technodrome itself, then go inside it. i was never able to beat the game without the game genie. and i even tried to beat it legit with the cheats on, but found it impossible to not get hit.

    So it depends of which version of the TMNT game you're playing. The original was really hard to beat. Two ports (DOS and Amiga) of it on the other hand actually are impossible (without cheating or a glitch) as a mistake was made when porting it over. That's where the impossible bit comes from.
