TMNT: Tournament Fighters sees the turtles entering a fighting tournament featuring Shredder as a contestant, among other dubiously canon characters. Standard fighting game fare.

Hmmm...

Document the prototype.

Hmmm...
To do:
There are more differences, but some of them need more verification.
Careful, you'll lose an eye.
This page or section needs more images.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.

Around 3 months after the US release, the game was given a Japanese release under a slightly different name. It features several changes.

  • Several moves have had their damage and reach re-balanced.
  • New voice clips have been added (some originally from Turtles in Time) to make it more obvious what moves are being done.
  • The Studio 6 map now has breakable walls like the Genesis version.
  • In an uncommon twist, Aska was actually given more revealing clothes from the previous version, her sprite edited to show off more of her legs. She also has a new victory animation that has her breasts bounce around. This may be a case of preemptive censorship for the non-Japanese releases.
