[TAS] SNES Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time "1 player" by nitsuja in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2005-10-06
Here you can see a revision of this game by nitsuja ( tasvideos.org/... ), 04:35.32 minutes faster than the previous run by mazzeneko ( tasvideos.org/... ). The strategy used was changed radically, using Raphael instead of Donatello and using dash moves more often.
The damage for every move was mapped out carefully by monitoring the internal values of the RAM, to be able to choose the best attack for every situation. Luck was manipulated to make some enemies appear in more convenient positions.

Neon Night-Riders takes place in 2020. We truly are in the wrong timeline.

[@AndrewBlechinger]

And imagine, in that timeline, Krang gets defeated by the Turtles on hoverboards, then has to wait 80 years for the Starbase to get finished to have his shot at revenge.

[@henrytse]

Damn, this game had some amazing sound effects and soundtrack!

[@KisekiTim]

2020 Expectation then: Neon Night Riding 2020 Reality now: Covid 19

[@DR---]

It never existed. It was just a scam.

[@cubechan1938]

I mean hey, we might *actually* have flying cars in a decade or two. If the VyloCopter can make its way onto CNN and announce itself as an official functional flying taxi service, then we know it's happening. Just not with *Musk* or any of his mingers around.

Neon Night Riding = Tokyo Reference

[@Mega_Mikey]

“How has foot soldier technology improved in the year 2100?” “They drop out of laundry chutes now.”

[@ezgames6925]

Big Apple, 3 Am will be one of my favorite snes themes.

[@buttface1202]

EZGames 69 alleycat blues is good af too

[@shr00mhead]

Neon night riders for me. Inspired me to start checking out synthwave stuff.

[@Tatsh2DX]

The whole soundtrack is one of the best. It's credited to M.IZUMI which I presume is Mutsuhiko Izumi, who still works for Konami. He has made songs that have appeared in various Konami music games (BEMANI titles).

[@TheRealBDouble]

Skull and Crossbones is my jam

[@tiyenin]

Bury My Shell at Wounded Knee is a BANGER

[@TayoEXE]

16:09 A.D. 2020? Now it all makes sense. The reason no one is out on the streets is because they were too busy quarantining!

[@CustomStyleCajunTurkey]

Standard KO- 1PT Slam KO - 2PTs Throw Soldier Off Screen- 3PTs Flip Into Shoulder Block KO- 4Pts Raphael Health: 1 Power: 3 Special: 4 Speed: 4 Raphael is the fastest turtle in the game and his special attack hits the hardest, but he has very low health.

[@EsperHubb]

I thought Donatello had the lowest health due to his ability to hit the hardest. Plus his range is super good.

[@shr00mhead]

@@EsperHubb Mike hit the hardest. usually 3 standard strikes to take out most foot soldiers.

[@dominquedoty458]

@@EsperHubb Donatello's heath is better than Ralpael. Tho still worse than Leo''s, and Mikey's health. Donatello is also the slowest. But his reach makes up for it. Not sure about the power tho. Mikey is the toughest of all turtles, But his attack speed is a bit weak. tho movement speed is very good. only slower than Raphael.

[@ChronoSquare]

I was wondering why Raph was chosen for this playthrough, and this is the reason why. Speed, simple as that?! I guess so! Thanks.

[@CustomStyleCajunTurkey]

@@ChronoSquare Funny thing is I found out this stuff back when I rented this game back when BlockBuster was around. I tested things against Super Shredder and the one thing I remembered was how Raph took more damage. When the turtles get knocked back their animation changes based on how much health they have left and Raph was always go flying in two or three hits if I recall.

[@PureRok]

I'm surprised there hasn't been a run to beat this in almost 13 years. Wow, it's almost a longer amount of time between the run and now than when the game came out and the run happened. August 1992 (US SNES) -> October 2005 (13 years 2 months) -> March 2018 (12 years 5 months).

[@LoneStoneMaalik]

PureRok & it’s totally possible to get sub 15 minutes, hell, maybe 12 minutes at this point if they’re really on it.

[@ezgames6925]

McHazard is working on an improvement to this game.

[@luminare3]

Bury My Shell at Wounded Knee. My favorite soundtrack of this awesome game.

[@pupper9474]

*_P I Z Z A_* *_T I M E_*

[@TheRealBDouble]

For some reason, it cracks me the hell up that you defeat Shredder the first time by HURLING FOOT SOLDIERS AT HIM lol.

[@CreamDollYT]

It's funny but when I was younger I had a hard time figuring out how to do that. I knew I had to throw them at him but I couldn't figure out how to do the throw in the first place

[@jabamiyumeko5845]

Damn this game I wasn't able to finish this back in the day, and here's this guy finishing it in under 20mins. I love it!!!

[@Tatsh2DX]

14:02 such a cool level, taking advantage of the SNES' mode 7.

[@jamesknapp64]

It was fun playing that one back in the day

[@SunnyTacos]

A timeless classic and tbh I even liked the shellshock remake.

[@DriftTaxi]

OH NO! Not the Time Warp!!!!! Not again! :3 It's a good thing I know how to escape . . .apparently it's just a jump to the left.

[@victorhugocastillohernande8205]

Mis compas nos reunimos a jugarlo y horas nos quedábamos jugando, que bonitos tiempos!!!

[@jackmehoffe9372]

HEROES IN A HALF SHELL!

[@Taric25]

TURTLE POWER!

[@ElEsJuan-wn3pl]

Sewer level I hated back as a kid “my toe my toe” lol and the “aww shell shocked” 🤣🤣

[@Black-Rat]

First the Sewers, tomorrow the World ( Rat King ) 🤣🤣

[@videopowergaming5346]

Awesome video, great game. I have so much fun playing this.

[@snailbutch]

Rapheal is fucking pissed

[@enyolstable]

Turtles in time, more like, Turtles have NO time!

[@Nobar_JKO]

I could only imagine how a 2-player TAS would work. Between this and the Donatello version of it, that would be a good place to start using Don and Raph together.

[@The_Wandering_Nerd]

Dang, they totally missed the ball predicting F-Zero tracks surrounding our garishly-colored neon cities in 2020. I sure hope we get our Technodrome-recolor starbases by 2100 though :)

[@bryanmiranda9553]

Ye... 2020 rrally looks like this now....

[@XenoGuru]

Looks like the creators shot for the stars rather than the gutter

[@luthfiluthf2432]

Is there flying skate in 2020?

[@ChristianCastle]

How do you do this kick? 2:38

[@SuperRy21.]

It’s quite complicated, While dashing, Press Attack and Jump AT THE SAME TIME

[@deathblowringo4168]

I wish I would see the arcade version of this TAS...

[@dospostmann9361]

Tas could actually gain a free 10 seconds by not killing bad guys in sewer surfing and neon night riders

[@hornetscout2579]

Sewer Surfin's music f*cking slaps

[@onedavewreckingcrew]

that's what 2020 was supposed to look like

[@DJDarryl88]

What's y'all favorite stage i love all they look to good

[@unclecharles]

19:23 that kid. 😂

[@DJDarryl88]

Both this and the arcade version easy also has the beat music

[@theorangeswami7981]

I beat this regularly in under 22 minutes... Under 19 minutes is insane!

[@GeminiChaos]

Man we were optimistic about 2020 in 1992 weren't we hahahahaha

[@Mega_Mikey]

Prehistoric Turtles Sores

[@tsc2121]

Neon Night Riders was my only favorite SNES music on TMNT TIT

[@koholintisland2167]

So are we to understand that every single citizen in New York has their lights on at 3 a.m.?

[@Terkzorr]

2,500,000,000 BC? I think they added one zero too much, at that time the only life on earth were microbes lol.

[@akfolstad44]

Skyline looks a lot different in two years, apparently...

[@PaulantonioSaborialejarza]

The time is 18,57

[@kaganatorplays9205]

Either I sucked 10+ years ago or these mobs have less health and the traps don't hurt him

[@SpaceOink]

Aaaand now I got footsoldiers all over my livingroom. -_-

[@OgatRamastef]

amazing!

[@ShokudaikiriMitsutada]

PIZZA TIME!

[@GareBearGamingGround]

Nice!

[@Kaleb-w3x]
