This video starts with snowmen. Every video should start with a snowman. But these are not good snowmen in any sense of the word.
Scene 3
Let's melt snow and rebuild N.Y. City.
(continued)
The little hills on the ground are manholes, so don't step on theme unless you want to lose some health and waste valuable seconds.
The snowmen are meaner than you would think...they shoot homing missiles at you! Strike them from the ground when they're coming straight at you. After a few hits, the snowmen will lose their little disguise, because they're really robots that jump around and fire homing missiles and whatnot. If you can pin these guys on either side of the screen, you can keep striking them until they're dead. They won't have a chance.
If the missiles scroll off the screen, they won't come back. Use this to your advantage.
The light blue soldiers throw snowballs at you. These snowballs have some speed to them, so be ready to spam some jump kicks on them.
Close to the end, you'll see huge boulders of ice raining from the sky. You'll soon find out who's throwing them: a polar-bear man with a leather jacket, leather boots and blue jeans. Hot damn, now I'm wishing this guy was in the series. See that ball that's floating around near the Module he pops out of? That's what's responsible for the unexplained early winter in New York City!
Criss-cross this guy with jump kicks, backing away from him after each one so you won't get hit when he tries to punch you. He'll back up every once in a while to throw an ice boulder at you. (I told you he was throwing them!) Back away and move around accordingly, then continue the assault.
When you beat this guy, your Turtle will immediately destroy that floating sphere! Spring is back in town!
From here, you'll be back in the main storyline, moving around in a parking garage where everyone either drives a late 1970's that looks like a 1970s-era Chevrolet Caprice or a 1980's era luxury car. Or an armored car, because those things definitely exist in New York City. (I know, I know. I haven't made a joke involving cars in video games in a long time. Sue me.) You'll be taking on some red soldiers, but they don't have guns like they did in Scene 1 this time around.
Signs, barrels that explode and traffic cones will make for added ammunition as you make your way past some of the biggest cars I have ever seen in a video game. At least the perspective on them looks correct, as I can easily picture the Turtles walking into one of the cars and driving away with it.
The first blue car you see will try to run you over when you get close enough to the front of it. Three red soldiers with guns will then pop out. Finally! They have guns again! Shortly after this, the first brown car you see will try to do the same. After this, you'll finally see Foot Clan soldiers popping out of armored cars. I was expecting this, game. Why did you take so long?
There's a pizza at the end, but you might want to save it for when you're low on health, because the boss is here! This time, Baxter Stockman is a fly, and he comes at you with a vengeance! Your main thing to do here is to avoid the projectiles he fires at you from the sky and immediately counter them with a jump kick. Back off in a diagonal direction, so it's easier to see where the next projectiles are coming from.
If you can corner him and time your jumps exactly right, though, you can put him in an infinte loop where his projectiles always miss and you can destroy him without any impunity. This does take practice, though, but it's definitely worth it!
When you beat Baxter Stockman a second time, you'll rescue April and head off in the Turtlemobile! Yes!
