PrinceWatercress plays Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus (GBA) - Part 11 of 25

After another vehicle stage, we play what is perhaps the easiest of the timed stages in this game.

First | Previous | Next | End

Jungle 4

Turtles required for this stage: Any

Stage 4 plays more or less like Stage 2. This time, however, you'll have whole walls of spiked balls to contend with, and you'll need to shoot at least one ball in the wall out of your way to move forward without taking damage. Once again, the first five will be out in the open.

The boss here is a Triceraton on a battle cruiser. Shoot at the visor, and avoid the projectiles. When you see a purple ball charge up, get all the way to the bottom immediately so you don't get hit by the laser. The laser will be fired at regular intervals, and after spending some time with this boss, you'll know when to move in and out so that you don't get blasted. Beating this boss will give you the last five crystals. Just stay in the lower-left corner when the boss is defeated, and you can easily get them all. Also, don't worry about the crystals being scrolled off the screen; they'll stay in the corner.

Jungle 5

Turtles required for this stage: Leo, Mikey

You'll be destroying security nodes with shurikens and breaking blocks along multiple paths to find all the crystals on your way to the hoverboard at the bottom. Once you get used to throwing shurikens at the security nodes before the weapon, this is one of the easier timed stages in this game.

You'll need Leo for most of the blocks and crystals, and you'll need Mikey for the blocks on the middle path.
