Base 2

Turtles required for this stage: Raph or Don, Mikey

The grate at the start of each level acts as the starting point of the level, by the way.

You can get rid of the guard at the beginning more easily with the shurikens if you hit him while he is in the air or climbing up the "stairs" at the start.

You'll find your weapon in the next room, but you'll need to watch out for the laser beams. If you see the laser beams light up, they're about ready to fire. Get ready to see the laser beams more and more as you go through this game. If you see a narrow path in the background, you can press Up in front of the background wall, then hold Left or Right to move across it. If you press Down on the ledge, you can hang off the edge and shimmy your way left or right from there. This will be necessary to get past certain hazards.

After this, you can get the crystals and beat up the next guard for the red card. The second room has a crystals in the corners, but to get to two of them, you'll need to either play as Raphael, get his sai and climb the walls or play as Donatello, get his bo and use his super jump. If you're Raphael, jump towards the wall and press A while continuing to hold the Control Pad towards the wall. From here, you can climb up and down and Up and Down and then press A to get off the wall. If you are playing as Donatello and you have his bo, you can hold Up and press A to do a super jump.

Speaking of special abilities, if you're playing as Mikey and you have his nunchaku, you can hold A after jumping to float with the nunchaku. You won't be gliding slowly forever, however, and you will revert back to regular falling speed after a few seconds. It's still helpful getting to distant platforms, however. If you are playing as Donatello and you have his bo, you can hold Up and press A to do a super jump.

Past the red door is the goal. Take out the droid before it shoots at you. The gold door can only be entered and explored if you play as Donatello, who has the infrared goggles. When you're in, press Up at the monitor to lower the platform, then use the platform to head up and get the crystals here.

To break the lower set of blocks at the end, you'll need Mikey's nunchaku. Use the neutral B button charge attack to break the blocks and get the crystal there.
