Episode 120
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have proved time, and again that they aren't a fad, they're a phenomenon! After a highly successful arcade release, and several popular NES games, the Turtles were back in the arcades again, and this time they were battling Shredder in a new, time traveling adventure!
A home version was inevitable, and Turtles in Time was an exclusive for the Super Nintendo. Developer Konami really knocked it out of the park with this arcade conversion - Turtles In Time for the SNES not only looks just like the arcade original, it adds in tons of new content, and is arguably the best version of the game on ANY platform!
So how did this exciting arcade game find its way onto our Super Nintendos, and what about that Hyperstone Heist game on Sega? We'll find out in today's episode, and then we'll dive deep into the gameplay where we'll learn:
* The best way to survive ALL TEN challenging levels!
* Which Turtle should we choose? We'll look at how they all stack up!
* The best way to perform grab moves like the SCREEN THROW, and the POWER SLAM!
* The SECRET WARP to skip the Technodrome!
* How to do powerful DASH ATTACKS!
* How to play a PERFECT BONUS STAGE for big BONUS POINTS!
* How to get the BEST ENDING!
* The best way to defeat EVERY BOSS, even SUPER SHREDDER himself... AND MORE!

When u realize u played this hundreds of times and never realized there were differences in the turtles health and attack powers 🔋
And I thought I was a better player than my brother when I was playing Michael Angelo and he was playing Leonardo. Might not tell him though.
In beat'em ups: Elevator stages or even stages that visibly move you to your next destination as you fight is peak design.
I just wanna say that the original turtles movie still holds up as an excellent action adventure movie.
Not only does the movie hold great nostalgia but it was actually well made with great jokes that are funny even for adults.
“Cricket! Cricket?! You gotta know what a crumpet is to play cricket!”
Still one of my favorite lines from the movie.
I love the random nebulous powers of both shredder and splinter during the 90's. They could do anything and you bought it. Splinter did a wild resurrection spell once with mothballs, because ofcourse he could.
You know it' going to be a great day when you wake up and see a new UCBVG episode.
I would love a donkey Kong country trilogy walkthrough. Those games are fun but can be brutal. Also earth worm Jim one and two. Thanks for the great content and game history coverage.
So many years, not even days, but years playing this game! I'm a massive, massive Turtles fan, have been for nearly 40 years now! The first TMNT movie is legit still in my top 3 ever movies. Thanks UCBVG, wha a treat!
I loved the first and 2nd movies but 3 was awful
@@BigBearHgXWhat 3rd TMNT movie? 😂
@@ravager48 , there are actually a third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth film as well. The third one is a much maligned film that honestly had a very boring villain. The fourth one was, I think, a crossover with the MMPR (which was bad, yet somehow led to not one, but TWO, MMPR crossovers in the comic books). The fifth one was the animated one from 2007. The sixth one was a direct-to-DVD/televised crossover with the the 1987 TMNT universe (the 2012 TMNT and 1987 TMNT crossover episodes were done better). The seventh one was the Michael Bay one (which, despite being Michael Bay, was not at least AS bad as the third and fourth films). The eighth one was honestly a surprisingly good sequel to the seventh one, and it also helped to change the characters of Rocksteady and Bebop, along with the 2012 TMNT series, and the IDW comics versions of those two characters. The ninth one was a surprisingly good animated crossover with, of all people, Batman, which also led them being a part of two pretty good fighting video game franchises, namely, Injustice, and, as of the year 2023, Street Fighter. The tenth, and last one, is their most recent film in TMNT: Mutant Mayhem.
Actually, I forgot to mention the limited Japanese OVA series that literally no one remembers that kind of was honestly foreshadowing the MMPR crossovers as well...finding that one is tough work.
I honestly think that the plot to the third film should have been this game, but, in all honesty, pulling off that would have been difficult to pull off well in 1993, and making the Kraang/Krang be the focus in the film instead of just randomly going back in time somehow just would not have had as much of an impact without The Shredder, and then there were villains like Mr. Null, who would have scared kiddos and made SJW Karens/Kevins lose their minds, and fighting literal demons kind of is too much of a stretch, even in the TMNT sense.
This is funny, I just rewatched your playthrough of "Turtles 3: The Manhattan Project" the other day, for no real reason.
Turtles in Time has a special place in my heart, my best friend and I played this (and Street Fighter 2) over and over. He passed away from cancer just out of High School, so these games he and I played so often really hit home some good memories. Great video, man!
Taking me back to 6th grade. Great game. Got it for Xmas of 1992.
Grade 10 for me. Got my driver's license. I remember going alone, no parents to see the TMNT movie downtown. Still had a few downtown then.
Christmas*
Man, thinking of the arcade gives me so much nostalgia. Starting the game I can't help hearing in my head "BIG APPLE, 3 AM!" and humming along to the tune. This game has some of the best music ever.
🍕Pizza time! 🍕 This is one of my favorite beat 'em ups :)
Man watching the intro to this gives me goosebumps. I was born in ‘78 and went through everything you talked about. When turtles in time was released on arcade I still remember walking out of the movie theatre (not turtles) and there was a brand new monster of an arcade there that wasn’t there before the movie started and there was already a long line. Lol. The memories.
That's the year I was born! 😱
@mattl1758 What do you play now?
Considering how hard Slash is normally, cheesing him with that shoulder-bash chain is hilariously satisfying.
The SNES game was really badass! The action figures were one of the best I had as a kid growing up. The original arcade 89’ 90 was also one of my favorites. Yes it ate all of my quarters lol, just like Captain America and the Avengers arcade did. This was one hell of an nostalgic game.
I didn’t have this as a teen, but my friend did. We played this a lot! I own it now so I can try a lot of the tips that you mentioned. Should be fun!
Man, one of the games that defined my childhood. Mikey's tankiness and strong normal hits made him my go-to turtle.
That said, something not mentioned was how scoring works. Since you get an extra life per 200 points, racking up a high score can prolong your session. Beating an enemy with your fourth hit in the combo gives 2 points, as does using the super slam with both the enemy used and the enemies hit. The Screen Toss gives 3 points. Anything else gives 1 point.
However, using the Flip Tackle to kill an enemy will give 4 points, and opportunities to go for this are limited, but it is rather satisfying to accomplish, especially if you can kill a boss with it.
That said, there is one big secret few pull off -- clearing a stage without taking any damage (meaning no super-usage) and ignoring any health-restoring pizzas will grant a whopping 80 points to your score.
Also, fun tidbit -- when battling Leatherhead, you can deflect the lobsters he throws at you. Catching him with one, usually the third one he tosses, can stun him, letting you get in some free potshots.
The 80 point bonus score for doing a level perfectly is huge, never knew this before thanks boss!
This channel found something that absolutely works. I hope they never change the format. Don’t change the sound effects don’t change the simplicity.
Gonna fall off like AVGN did eventually so enjoy while you can.
@@bigsj3632 I don’t think so. This is very different. All he does is provide a history of the game, give some of the secrets, and goes through a let’s play. There’s not really much that good fall apart, unless he starts bringing in new sound effects or trying to make things more bombastic. As it is, it works perfectly. And he can do this for the next 15 years, using the same exact format, and sound effects and it’ll work. Even Ryan George is sticking to his guns and keeping the format pretty much what we fell in love with. As long as they do, it’s going to work very well.
All these years and I never knew the Turtles had such vastly different stats. I mostly played as Donatello, because his my favorite turtle. Or Raphael.
It suddenly makes sense why I always died so easily as Raph.
The boss battle music lives rent free on my head, it was soooo good
Underrated talent, filling dead air. Aside from explaining everything, there are times where the video could've gotten away with just leaving dead air and let the game footage speak for itself. However, the narrator manages to not only fill the entire runtime with talking, but also make it entertaining. Not all jokes are gonna land, of course. No comedian has a 100% hit rate. But I think it's a greatly underrated skill to be able to fill dead air and not have it be boring or seem like you're just talking to fill airtime.
Oh my, you just put beatdowns on everything! I’ve been playing this for 30 years and haven’t known you could destroy enemies like that.
Also, the breakdown on the turtle differences was amazing, thank you!
Used to play this game so much as a little kid. I would always pick Raph. Never knew why my health seemed to disappear so much quicker than my brothers when I would get hit. Seemed like I would kill enemies way quicker though so that was nice. One day I got good enough to complete the game without losing a life on Hard. I was a very proud kid that day 👍🏽
Hell yes. This is my all time favorite Turtles game. One of the rare times when the home conversion is actually superior to the arcade original.
One of my favorite SNES games and one i could beat on the hardest difficulty with out losing any lives.
Man, I loved this game. I liked just popping it in every so often and playing to the end, always choosing a different turtle.
Man this is pure nostalgia, i used to play this game in a daily basis.
If you have a anbernic rg35xx you can play ps1 snes nes sega mega drive 90’s handheld and arcade games even 80’s arcade game i have this and the arcade version on my rg35xx
Back then when we didn't have obligations! 😮
Great memories.
I never realized they had different stats.
Bro... Turtles?? In time?? That was life. That was what it was all about. Teenage Mutant ass Ninja Turtles. If you were a kid in the late 80s and early 90s, it was about Ninja Turtles, no contest.
Teen in the 90s. Yep Turtles were cool!

DESERVED & then some
I gotta tell you man I REALLY enjoy your videos. You voice is chill and you game play skills are on point. Thank you for the wonderful content you make every week. Take care 😉
I remember playing this at the arcade. When it hit SNES, I was doing backflips.
Shout out to the intro describing the history of the development and legacy of every game this dude plays, in addition to actually helping us beat them.
Homie said, even Biff knew how to handle a time machine better...
Good show.
There was a TMNT for the GameCube that allowed 4 player co-op me and my bros used to play for hours at a time loved it
This is still my favorite TMNT game. I'm waiting for when the channel covers Maximum Carnage.
In the late 80’s and early 90’s, Turtles was as much a video game franchise as a TV/Movies/Comic franchise, if not more.
The arcade boss for Prehistoric Turtlesaurus is actually Cement Man from the cartoon. "Cement Man LIVES!!" He appeared in the final episode of the alien eye saga, as a creation of Baxter Stockman's.
I remember this game came out around the same time as SF2 on SNES. I got them both day one. Good times.
Slash was always a run killer for me as a kid but to see how you can actually kill him before he can even attack makes childhood me go oh wtf cmon lmao. Great stuff here!
I remember being blown away by this one in the arcade. So many quarters
The arcade version is much harder.
These games make me think of my dad.. we’d go to toys r us every other weekend … even if I didn’t get anything , just going an checking out the titles always made things better
@24:45 Don't forget to hit the dog😂😂😂 I always loved hearing him scream as a kid haha 🐶🐶🐶🐶
I played this game everyday in middle school. Thank you so much for posting this!
What a masterpiece. A true Turtles fan will go through all three difficulty modes back to back, but I can understand time restraints.
If you're not above playing fan-made games, check out Rescue-Palooza. It lets you play as every single Ninja Turtles character ever (even some you've never heard of), and is arguably even better than Shredder's Revenge.
Brings back great memories of me playing with my buddies.
revisit this one frequently...still my favorite beat em up and two player co-op from 16 bit era. Beat this one so many times and just about perfect as far as beat em ups go.
You forgot to mention one thing that Leo has over the other turtles: his back attack will actually knock down the foot soldiers,
all the other turtles just do damage resulting in the standard crotch grabbing stun animation to the the Foot.
Makes Leo much better for solo play, since he has added protection to getting pincered by two enemies on both sides
"The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are just a fad, but Vanilla Ice is forever!" -This one kid at summer camp, 1991.
This was not a hard game for me at all, but man, was it fun! Great graphics and gameplay as well as the unique levels.
I played turtles in time and maximum carnage so much as a kid!
Cyndi Lauper turned seventy years old on June 22, 2023!
"If you fall I will catch you/I will be waitinng/Turtles in Time."
Loved throwing foot soldiers at the screen and smashing them into the ground.
Lot of great memories with this one, but playing co-op with my grandma & grandpa will never be topped. They're now both in their 70s now and grandma still plays Ms. Pacman on SNES.
Excellent choise. Not a difficult game but the absolute best TMNT game and a good one to play with a friend. Always relaxing to kick some foot soldier butt.
This is one of my favorite games so glad I bought the cowabunga collection
Bonus! It's unusual you are able to upload back to back weekends. Thank you!
Awesome game. Never found it especially difficult, though.
I wish you had covered 'Color Mode' in the Options. It's really important for co-op! 'Animation' gives everyone the default shade of green, and 'comic' makes them all have a different shade, making them easy to tell apart when playing with a friend
Definitely my all time favorite TMNT game. I'm so glad this version had Slash cuz the arcade version didn't!
This was the first game I ever owned for the SNES and I couldn't tell you how many hours of fun I had playing it.
This made an already Amazing Week, Awesome! Outside of Mario World, this was my second All-Time Favourite game for the SNES.
Thank you so much, and it was a really great video!
Was a link to the past third?
@@Matthew10950 I was never patient enough at that age to play such a complicated game. I understand and respect its appeal and fanbase, though! If you were good at this game, I tip my hat to you!
hey guys, its me again. i just wanted to say that im playing this game right now. thank you very much
My favorite TMNT game ever still.
12:05 The full name for Raphael's special attack is the Super Bombastic Stationary Kick
(Can't let that fantastic name go unnoticed!)
I never realized there was actually performance differences between the turtles...for nearly 30 years I have mainly used Donatello not knowing that Michaelangelo and Raphael were actually stronger characters.
One of my favorite SNES games (I played the original arcade game, but not this one). I eventually mastered Hard.
one of the best games i have ever played! both snes and the arcade. had no idea that there was a code, stat differences for each turtle, or true ending
Many a quarters pumped into these machines as a kid. When I was about 25, I flew from Northern VA to West Palm Beach, FL with my dad to pick up a TMNT 2 arcade cabinet. Had many great years of fun with that thing! Thanks for the great video, UCBVG!
I still have the game and I remember when I was a kid and this was the first ever game that I beat on hard mode solo though I gave myself the max lives though kept the continues at default. Still one of my favorite games and only beat em ups.
Gotta love how April looks more and more like one of the Turtles with each iteration.
Wow, I've been playing this game for years, and I never knew that you could use your special attack to dodge thr obstacles in Sewer Surfin'!
One of my all time favourite games ever. I played it so much growing up and still play it occasionally.
JFK had a quote when he was asked about collecting all the pizzas on the neon night riders level: "we do these things not because they are easy but because they are hard".
I absolutely loved this game growing up. Such a fun game.
When I worked at an arcade, and I was talking to people about this. I would explain how the SNES was the best version of this game. You explained everything I said to them. That's amazing!
This one was always a favorite; it's great that it came to Switch
This was always one of my favorite games in 1992. I wish it was one that I saved with my SNES that I still have today. I actually prefer the arcade version myself though if I got to pick. I liked the 4 player capability there first off. It was SO much fun on games like that, the first TMNT arcade, The Simpsons, and X-Men (that you could even have 6 players going in the biggest cabinet) to get a group of your buddies or people you just met, and have that great team experience in the arcade. Wow was it fun. But the arcade TMNT in Time also moved smoother, had more to the animations, had better synthesized voices, and better sounding effects and music. It also had the different title “screen saver” with the “Pizza Power” song, that was the actual vocal version. That’s just how arcade games still were compared to the home versions then. The dedicated cabinets always beat the cartridges. I also preferred the bosses and levels on the arcade of this game too. With the home version, it felt like they tossed in a few of the characters from the toy line just to try and make more money. But like I say, this was still probably the very best arcade port to a home console at the time for sure. If you ever find a copy of this today unopened and in mint condition? Holy crap does it go for bucketloads of money. Wish I had bought a few copies in 1992 and just not opened them. 🤑
The Cowabunga Collection has both the snes port and the original arcade versions, it really sets the bar for retro game collections
I played the crap out of this game when I was young, one of the few games I'd play all the way through whenever I sat down to play it.
Awesome, awesome SNES game - top five on the system. And "Alleycat Blues" is still a banger.
One of the best video game soundtracks of all time.
I was just talking about playing through Turtles in Time again last night. Thanks for the nostalgia and the tips!
Ohhhhhhhh man this brings backs some memories... Literal chills! Thank you! This was a nice surprise!
Some games live up to hype/reputation and some don't. Turtles in Time for the SNES totally did when I played it years after it came out. I didn't get on with the arcade version at first, auto run was pretty annoying at first, but I grew to love it too. The changes to the SNES version make it more cohesive, along with the clever Shredder fight, and incentivizing the throws with the point system. Those were all good ideas. I prefer the arcade music by quite a bit, and I also prefer Neon Night Riders as a regular stage as opposed to a bonus stage. But as a whole, the SNES game is very well made and is better than the arcade in a lot of ways.
I had never seen that turtles damage chart before and it does fill in some gaps. I did notice that the differences between the turtles are more pronounced in the SNES version than the arcade. On my own, I was able to determine differences in general attack power, defense/vitality, range and speed. Leonardo is the most well rounded in those, being second best at all of them. I personally view him as the best turtle, at least for my play style, and a good choice for beginners. I also like using Mike for his power and durability, but he's the slowest with the second worst range which means it's harder to avoid hits and grabs which can be annoying. From the looks of that chart, Don and Raph are much more specialized and could perhaps be seen as extra difficulty modes. Clearly they can work, and Raph is definitely for speed runs, but I have little interest in leaning on Don's downward chop or spamming Raph's dash. But learning about Raph's dash power explains why he's so fast but frail(worst range, worst vitality, second worst power). But that's my point, that best and worst is going to come down to play style. Leo is the best for my approach which is more conventional, relying on the main combo with some jumping and dashing. Konami balanced the turtles in an interesting way, but it works and it's good to see the chart to see how they compensated for Don and Raph's weaknesses.
If you have a anbernic rg35xx you can play this and the arcade version
Despite playing this a ton back in the day, I had no idea that they had different strengths or amounts of health. I just picked up the Cowabunga Collection and will be sure to put this to use!
Glad they released cowabunga collection and put every turtles game made on it brings back my old games I had to get rid of around the time n64 came out I’m still regretting that move to this day I miss my nes and sega and I had a ton of great games for both
Perfect I love this game. Making Saturdays great again.
This game was so much fun!
this is one i can get behind for sure! also you did faxanadu for me a long time ago. you should do another classic super metroid!!!
Best beat em up ever. Hands down!
30 years and i thought all the turtles had the same stats. Mind blown.
I cant wait to actually apply this to the Cowabunga Collection!!!
Appreciate the work you put into these videos
Totally agree. His research just for the intro is fantastic.
Leather Heads hop after being defeated still makes me laugh 30 years later!
Thanks, I needed this to unwind and relax.
LOVE this channel with all my heart!
Hot Take: the box art was better than the game art. Honestly, I never thought that the SNES and Genesis releases were not just the same game for different systems. TMNT was ABSOLUTELY my favorite thing up until High School and I still have such a soft spot for them that I fight myself every time a new movie or show drops.
Bro your videos are so awesome there so informational and more you always give a lil extra. THANK YOU!
Raph has always been my go to on both Turtles in Time and Hyperstone Heist. Ppl always told me he was the bad choice due his short range. But I’m all about the speed and agility. I’m glad to hear that he was always the right turtle of choice. 😊
I've only beaten this in the arcade! Great walk through!
Because of your videos, I've pulled out the old consoles and replayed some of these classics!! Thank you! Keep it up!
A superb choice and a game that I hold dearly in my heart, many weekends and summer nights in the 90s playing Turtles in Time!
I can't imagine how much work you have to make a video like this.
You really went deep into many of the history and other game details.
Well done.
Thanks homie. This game and the fighting games on SNES were of the games I always came back to.
