Ok lemme get this straight. Shredder defeated by stubbing his toe, tripping over a shuriken and bursting into flames… Never underestimate the power of the TAS
I accidentally discovered that weird flickering glitch as a kid and used that to beat the game. Just like the TAS, I beat Shredder without moving (Not from the shuriken trick though). One of my proudest accomplishment.
@@willjohnboy You mean to ask have I beaten this game without glitches? I have but it's on an emulator. I beat it few years ago. No save states or glitches. Just from practice and my non existent skill.
@@isaquielsantosdelimasdoka548 The catch is that you also need a turbo controller. If my memory serves me correct, then all I did was just mash every button at the same time and the game would flicker and give me that glitch (Every turtle had different glitch outcome).

Just don't let a few game overs discourage you. As April would say, "You have my support"
2:29 My childhood nightmares will come back to me again after not having seen this game for years. This game was so freaking difficult. Beat it once and gave it away. Never again 🤣
@@Mega_Mikey I feel you on the "anger issues". I chucked this game across the room a few times before I beat it. I'm surprised it still worked after a few of those throws 🤣
You'd think the cartoon would have paid more attention to Donatello's ability to float through the air while shapeshifting into his enemies... maybe that was a comic-only thing :D
"Don't let the Foot clan destroy the dam. You have my support!" Oh yea, what are you gonna do, yell nice things from the top of the dam? *Go call the friggin bomb squad!*
Beat this game legitimately once. Never again. Can't count how many times Shredder ended my games with his OHKO. Beat him the one time by stockpiling scrolls and spamming them to the end of the game.
Another TAS that makes an already tight run tighter. The enemy maniulation and constant morphing is insane. The most noticeable improvements seem to be the boss fights, the driving and keeping lag down in enemy heavy areas with very shallow/no jumps. This record probably isn't going to broken any time soon I think. Only thing left is finding more glitches for time saving.
The IBM version was literally impossible, due to a ceiling being too low over a gap in the sewers in area 3. You could not jump over the gap without hitting your head and falling into the water/pit and dying.
Goodness gracious. 166, 445 rerecords. That is some hardcore editing and dedication. I have this game backlogged. Maybe I should buckle down with some hardcore discipline and get the game done myself for the first time.
I love in a good TAS you look at the health bar and think for a sec he Better not get hit but immediately go yup let it ride!! Programmer got this!!!!!!!
But it is not that difficult, I do not deny you when I was 16 years old I dominated the game without problems, now at 30 years I can not, but I can make it to the techno-drome
@@sceneitallwithjeffandjon6984 I knew there had to be... I remember using it.. so I looked it up and there's one for "immune to most damage". Can't remember what still damages you.. maybe the seaweed? There's a separate code for seaweed.
Why does the turtle glitch out like that? It seems to take on the form of whatever enemy is sharing the same screen space. Also can someone explain why the shurikan stayed at the same spot and killed shredder? Sometimes the turtle didn't seem to do anything and still kill the boss, weird?
If you throw a projectile then while that first projectile is out you press your turtle against a platform and throw a second one it will stick in place. The second one must be thrown before the first leaves the screen.
I'm intrigued by the ending's implication that Splinter isn't a mutant, but rather is under some kind of rat curse that gets lifted upon Shredder's defeat.
It's a pretty old glitch: When you hold up+down and attack (different result if you jump+attack), the character you control will change sprites and something will happen (in case of Donatello a damage-dealing piece of Leo's sword will appear a certain distance away). Doing this with Raph will make him be able to pick up items that are way above him. Since regular controllers don't allow you to press 2 directions at once without breaking the plastic, bugs like that could pass during programming
On a real controller you cannot press left and right at the same time. You cannot press up and down at the same time either the stick has a spring in it that won't let you do it. This is a computer playing the game not a person and that computer is hitting multiple buttons at the same time at a specific time. It's impossible for a human
I remember this game as one of the first AVGN reviews I ever saw....... (Yes. When you had a 10 minute limit of uploading content and you needed a special "director's account" for it.....Yes. I am that old. And it is only 15 years ago)
My first guess is there pressing left and right at the same time which you can't do on a real controller. My second guess is they're doing that at a specific frame. Ultimately though I have no F idea
It just looks like a RAM issue, with the sprites loaded into RAM already to compensate for some animation frames unable to be properly displayed in time.
I hate this game for how many hours I sunk into it as a kid and I never got past level 5. It was somewhat of a miracle that I ever got that far. I only ever played the C64 version of this and loading times really killed the fun. I do remember it was impossible to die during the bomb diffusing section though so I'd always sacrifice Raph to it.
That was both beautiful and disgusting at the same time. The Technodrome was gorgeous. I miss random mechanical crap. Everything has to be streamlined nowadays, and it's turned me into a curmudgeon.
Huff this game is hell, we are 4 brothers and each one was a turtle, I was Ralph the rebel, and each one of us took turns doing a level with his turtle, the water was the most difficult Hell, I remember that we barely got to pass 3 or 5 times, but we got lost in the search for the master splinter and we did not arrive, a friend helped us in telling us the way to get to rescue to the sensei, but only once did we get there and then we didn't know the next way and we lost, that's why when we reached the water level it was a martyrdom and we believed that after rescuing splinter it was over the game, but as I said once we arrived we saved it, but then we couldn't, I don't know what happened, a few years passed but we were able to pass it, how horrible.
Je n’ai qu’un mot à te dire « RESPECT ». Je ne pensais pas qu’il existait des personnes aussi douées et passionnées, moi qui ai mis tant de temps pour réussir à le terminer, j’ai vraiment été impressionné, ( I am NYCKO, from’France).
The first Konami TMNT game. What a mediocre start that was and the ports were even worse. TMNT arcade, which came months later, was MUCH better with just as bad ports (minus the pretty competent NES one).
This game was bloody horrible but it's all we had back then. I was a kid and a huge tmnt fan, but now that I'm older I can't believe how disgusting this game design was. They must have been outsourcing this to crck addicts
Ok lemme get this straight. Shredder defeated by stubbing his toe, tripping over a shuriken and bursting into flames…
Never underestimate the power of the TAS
Shredder was humiliated worse in the original cartoon. Trust me, this is completely in-character.
I guess they really did have her support.
This kill is also used in the regular speed run. It’s always funny
He shit himself to death. Do you have any idea how much shit it takes to self-destruct? A lot. Just.... A lot. And he totally delivered on that end.
@@adamb89 So you're saying Shredder is full of shit. Yeah, that sounds about right.
4:34 I have always loved how Shredder's hand comes out of the TV
Teenage mutant ninja turtles nes tv shredder
He's clearly in the TV because he couldn't figure out how to send a video message.
Using the flying Samurai head to bypass the first two gaps in level 4 is a genius move
Absolute chad move bypassing the full pizza on the ladder. And I loved the jabbing of the staff in time with the music.
Good job to dreamyao and TASVideosChannel.

You just weren't good at games.
That music transition from the title screen to the city map was perfect!

@@hawaiidkw1Yeah, and I’m pretty sure after (somehow) beating the game, any turtles that were caught will be freed.

same i only beat this game once when i was little. i tried again but never could. lol
This game was the hardest version of the TMNT series in NES verse IMO

Just turn off the enemies and give the turtle super speed. 🥱
my favorite turtle transformation was when they became bebop that was pretty neat, and that shredder fight where the turtle didn't even move LOL!!!
PLEASE just grab some pizza! I know it's a frame-perfect run, but my heart can only take so much!
This bloody game was hard enough without the INTENSE FLICKERING ACTION
The IBM version was literally impossible, due to a ceiling being too low over a gap in the sewers in area 3. You could not jump over the gap without hitting your head and falling into the water/pit and dying.
@@MidnightWonko Great. Some versions are straight up unwinnable.
I have no idea what's going on most of the time, but it's very entertaining.

2:05 you can jump to that ledge on the left by the door directly, why didnt he do it?
@ 5:35 getting the missiles somehow lol
So, I've always wanted to know; is the pizza at 11:57 actually possible to get?
Nope, it was put there to dash players' hopes on the rocks.
Goodness gracious. 166, 445 rerecords. That is some hardcore editing and dedication. I have this game backlogged. Maybe I should buckle down with some hardcore discipline and get the game done myself for the first time.
LOL, I doubt I could ever last through the first 100 rerecords! I kinda have rage issues....
Old school that remians me of my days.
This was the first video game my dad got for me several decades ago
The pain train at 15:07 was fucking awesome. 😂
I dont get the pass at 2:22 . You jump up the ladder to that ledge no problem, but the jump without ladder present wouldnt be possible?
I got stuck on the water level so long my brain automatically interpreted the title as 15 Hours, 36 minutes, and 19 seconds
Jesus. Even the TAS can't get past the dam level without at least two turtles almost dying. I don't feel so bad now.
Never realized they had a fully furnished apartment in the sewers until now
i love it when the speedrunner does attack synced into the bgm ( 10:52 )
I love in a good TAS you look at the health bar and think for a sec he Better not get hit but immediately go yup let it ride!! Programmer got this!!!!!!!
I never consider it a true TAS if you have to sacrifice lives.
Donatello with Shang Tsung abilities...very nice
I could never beat this without Game Genie. Technodrome was f'n impossible.
As I recall, the Game Genie codes were not very useful in this game. No invincibility cheat, for example.
But it is not that difficult, I do not deny you when I was 16 years old I dominated the game without problems, now at 30 years I can not, but I can make it to the techno-drome
Speaking of the TDrome, did it commit suicide in this run? What was that about? I'll have to check the notes on that one.

How on earth is 5:38 & 8:04 possible?
This popped up in my notifications right as I was thinking "You know what I want to watch? A NES TNMT TAS"
Whats going on when he changes into other characters in the first couple levels?
RAM issue.

This guy knows all the glitches. It seems like every speedrun has a glitch to use.
how are they changing into the enemy like that? 0:21 0:28

@@joshuasharrock466 so since it can't recognize 2 opposite directions being pressed it just bugs out? Thats so weird. Interesting tho
@@fefyfona4318 if you watch TAS Super Mario brothers by Happylee... they make Mario walk and swim backwards by hitting both at the same time

That was both beautiful and disgusting at the same time. The Technodrome was gorgeous. I miss random mechanical crap. Everything has to be streamlined nowadays, and it's turned me into a curmudgeon.
You mentioned dialogue like "Here" and "Oh", but you forgot "MASTER!"
I remember beating this game when I was a kid. Felt similar to Castlevania.
I beat this game once, barely. Got close plenty of other times.
Nice early input ending lol
There's a rest of the game after the dam
imagine seeing this level of play in the 90s lol
I know this game has a lot of infamy from the angry video game nerd from way back when, but I always wanted to try this game myself

Hard game best character Donatelo worst character Raphael opposite day.
That's how Konami intended to play this game.
Watch out, James.
Anyone else get irrationally angry when seeing the completion time of 15 minutes?
