PrinceWatercress plays Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (GBA) - Part 2 of 7


In this entry, we complete Leonardo's story arc, then go for the crystals that we missed.

Leonardo: Act 3

You'll face Foot Clan ninjas at the beginning, as well as Foot Clan soldiers. The Foot Clan ninjas will sometimes use swords. The Foot Clan soldiers will have melee weapons such as explosive cylinders and energy swords, but they can also carry laser guns that can be used to attack you from a distance. You will never see Foot Clan ninjas and Stocktronics guards intermingle with one another at any enemy-ridden stopovers.

After taking a path through the ducts that involves facing Mousers, you'll face more human enemies. At the beginning of the third section, double jump tot he top. You'll have to seemingly forsake a health pick-up, but if you make it to the end of the upper section, you can find a crystal. From here, go left as soon as you drop down and you can refill some health.

Once you beat all the enemies at the last stop-over, press Up at the red-and-yellow Stocktronics door to end the act. The Ninja Turtles will finally meet Dr. Stockman, and you'll face your first boss.

Leonardo: Act 4

Perform jumping slashes while avoiding the boss' attacks. If the boss has one arm up and one arm down, it will perform a double windmill punch. If both arms are up, it will crush anything in front of it. If it ducks down, it will either punch what it is in front of it or fire a set of four homing missiles that you can destroy.

When the boss is low on health, it will leap around. Now would be a good time to take the health refill in the top center of the room. Once the boss goes down, the heroes celebrate while Baxter Stockman has to answer to Oroku Saki, who has Hun deal with him while he meditates on the existence of the Ninja Turtles.

Leonardo: Act 1 Crystals

For the first crystal, go left after the first section. From here, head right. Take out the enemies here, then enter the doorway at the end. Double jump your way to the top and take the left opening. Take out the enemies and missiles in the crawlspace. The crystal will be to the right. Don't forget that you have to play through the entire level to get credit for the crystal; pausing and exiting the level will undo all your work.

For the second and third crystals, go right after the first section. From here, you can go left for one crystal, and to get this one, you'll have to continue left as you take on human enemies, Mousers and missiles. You'll get the left path crystal on the way out of the crawlspace. The other crystal will be on the right path of the second fork, and if you take that path, there will be a third fork. Go right on the third fork, then go through the crawlspace and destroy Mousers and missiles. When you reach the drop-down point with the health refill, approach the edge, but don't go down. Enemies will show up from the left. Destroy them all to get the final crystal. (The game tricks you with this one.)
