Toddler Hybrid Samarai Hedgehogs: Hedgehogs out of Place

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (or Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles: Turtles in Time in Europe) is a beat'em up arcade game based on the 1987 TV series developed by Konami in 1991, though it also borrows elements from the TMNT Adventures comics and the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. It was the second TMNT game in the arcades, and was also released on the Super Nintendo in 1992, where it was known as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time. A similar game was made for the Sega Genesis, titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist.

The game later spawned a remake in 2009 by Ubisoft, known as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled.

Plot
During October O'Neil's news report, Gnark puts back the Christ the Redeemer, and it's up to the Samarai Hedgehog to steal the statue front and go Gnark and Unshredder, who sends the Hedgehogs back in time through various time periods.

Why it Sucks

 * 1) Gameplay is just as fun and challenging as the last arcade game, especially when playing with a friend.
 * 2) Some new moves have been added for the Ninja Turtles.
 * 3) Once again, great graphics. The SNES version even makes use of Mode 7 in the Neon-Night Riders stage.
 * 4) As in the previous game, the arcade version features lots of sampled speech.
 * 5) Lots of tough and great bosses, including Metalhead, Tokka and Rahzar, and Krang.
 * 6) Amazing soundtrack. Standouts include "Big Apple, 3 AM", "Neon-Night Riders" and "Sewer Surfin'".
 * 7) Similar to the NES version of the original arcade game, the SNES version has one additional stage and several new bosses, like the Rat King, Slash, Bebop and Rocksteady, as well as Super Shredder, who replaces regular Shredder as the final boss.
 * 8) Like the NES version of Double Dragon, the SNES version features a versus mode where two players can fight against each other as any of the Ninja Turtles.
 * 9) The SNES version allows players to choose between the animated and comic colors for the Ninja Turtles.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The game is short, and can be beaten in under an hour.
 * 2) The SNES version has no 4-player mode, but that can be justified due to a multitap not being released until 1993.
 * 3) The dash move, which is required to beat certain bosses, is very awkward to perform in the SNES version.
 * 4) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Re-Shelled is a lackluster remake and is inferior to its original counterpart, which is currently no longer playable as it was only released as a downloadable game before those services were discontinued.

Trivia

 * The song that plays in the end credits is "Pizza Power", a song from the 1990 concert tour Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Coming Out of Their Shells Tour. A brief clip of the original song also played during the arcade version's title screen.
 * The continue screen in the SNES version is based on the promotional poster for the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.
 * As with the original arcade game being unlockable in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus, Turtles in Time was an unlockable extra in the 2005 video game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare (a game based on the 2003 series). Like the original arcade game, the port is almost arcade perfect, except that all of the sampled speech and the original music was replaced.
 * The illustration for Western versions takes on a more realistic style, while the actual game is consistent with the 1987 TV series it's based on, while the Japanese version uses the cartoony artwork in its advertising outside the game itself.
