The game is a side-scrolling beat 'em up where players choose Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, or Raphael and battle through waves of Foot Soldiers and bosses. Basic attacks, jump attacks, throws, and special slam techniques are key to controlling crowds. Stages move across multiple eras, including city streets, pirate settings, western scenes, and futuristic environments. Progress comes from clearing each stage and defeating bosses, while co-op play rewards spacing, crowd control, and smart use of throws.

Characters
Leonardo
A balanced Turtle who fights with twin katanas and is easy for most players to use effectively.
Michelangelo
A fast-moving Turtle armed with nunchaku, known for a lively attack rhythm.
Donatello
Wields a bo staff and offers strong reach for controlling enemies from safer range.
Raphael
Uses twin sai and excels at direct, aggressive close-range offense.
Shredder
The Turtles' main nemesis and the central villain behind the time-travel plot.
Krang
A major villain who works alongside Shredder and drives the story forward.
Strategy
Use throws against sturdier enemies whenever possible, since they are often safer and more efficient than repeated basic combos. If enemies begin to surround you, stop overcommitting and use jump kicks to escape. Donatello's range makes him useful for space control, while Raphael suits a more aggressive style. During boss fights, wait for attack openings instead of rushing blindly, and in co-op try to spread out to avoid being trapped from both sides.
