Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III - Radical Rescue (GB)

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III - Radical Rescue, players embark on an adventure starting with Leonardo, the leader of the Ninja Turtles. The primary objective is to rescue his three captured brothers: Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael, who have been imprisoned by the enemy. The game is a side-scrolling action-adventure title with significant exploration elements.

Once a Ninja Turtle is rescued, players can switch between them and utilize each one's unique special abilities. For instance, Donatello can use his bo staff to traverse high obstacles or reach seemingly inaccessible areas. Michelangelo, with his nunchaku, can glide or float across large gaps, while Raphael, with his sai, possesses the ability to break through certain blocks or barriers. This introduces an element of exploration and puzzle-solving, forcing players to consider which Ninja Turtle is best suited for each situation to progress through the game.

The game features a non-linear level structure, encouraging players to revisit old areas with new abilities to unlock secret paths or collect items. Combat unfolds in a side-scrolling action style, where players confront a myriad of enemies ranging from the Foot Clan to various dangerous mutants. Each Ninja Turtle also has basic attacks and a more powerful special attack. At the end of each area or chapter, players will face powerful bosses, requiring strategy and skill to defeat. The ultimate goal is to defeat Shredder and rescue Splinter and April O'Neil. The classic 8-bit graphics and distinctive Game Boy sound provide a nostalgic and engaging experience for fans.
