Contact Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Introduction ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 30/03/2007 – Initial release of the Challenge Maps Walkthrough 01/04/2007 - Alternate ways to beat challenges 10 and 12 added First of all, I have to say that I am a big TMNT fan. I grew up watching them on TV, in comic books and on the big screen. My favourite turtle is Leonardo. I didn’t like the 2003 TV series and I sure didn’t enjoyed that much the recent games, based on those TV series. Thankfully, this game give the fans a new look at the franchise and present us with a much better gameplay than the Konami games. Anyway, I just want to say that I did this FAQ just to help people I don’t even know getting better times and, if that’s their goal, help them reach 100% completion, obtaining all shells.Every Challenge will give you the opportunity to be rewarded with a maximum of 3 shells each, depending on the time in which you complete it. Shells will give you the opportunity to unlock movies, artwork and other goodies, in the extra menu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- II.

Notes and Miscellaneous Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - The directions I give you in this walkthrough all refer to the position of the camera, not the position of the turtle, i.e., if I say “Go up” it may mean “to the right side of the turtle”. - If you find any spelling or grammar errors that you think will affect the understanding of this walkthrough, just contact me. - This FAQ refers to the PC version of the game. Since I do not own any console version of the game, I don’t know if the elements are the same or if there is a difference between the PC version and the console versions. - I may change/improve this FAQ with other suggestions or if people find some critical errors. - It is not my intention to have the best times in the world or the best FAQ in this particular subject in the Universe.I just want to have fun and, in any way, let other people have fun too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IV. Challenge Maps Walkthrough ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenge 1: Instead of heading left and going up the platforms, you can jump directly up and then jump again to the right, so you you’ll reach the platform immediately before the poles, without having to lose time jumping from other platforms. Right after you get to that platform, head down and perform a jump to the first pole. Than jump to the next and so on until you reach another platform. Then, use the ability to jump from wall to wall to climb to the top platform (you may want to wall-ride, in order to spare some time) and finally, jump from that platform to the last platform. My time: 00:14:37 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenge 2: There are two easy ways to eliminate your opponents in this level. The first one is the jump attack (that will make your opponents slide to the sides of the ring) and the second one is the kick attack. In order to get the 3 shells, you’ve got to be effective using the first one (jump attack) and then use the kick attack to clean house. Do it in under 15 seconds and you got it! My time: 00:14:81 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenge 3: There are no shortcuts in this one. You just have to jump from platform to platform and do it as good as you can. Just make sure you do not double-jump when it isn’t necessary to do so and you’ll be fine. While jumping in the spinning screw-like platforms, make sure you jump from the high screw-like platform to another high screw-like platform. If not, you’ll lose precious time, in order to obtain the 3 shells. 21 seconds will do it. My time: 00:20:52 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenge 4: In the first ling platform, stay in the higher parts of it, by double-jumping from one to another one. Then, jump to the second platform of the map and from there to the first spinning cube (ignoring the platform in the middle). Then, perform one jump to the next platform and from there to the second spinning cube. Jump to the other platform and then to the last spinning cube. From there, jump to the next platform and use the ability to jump from wall to wall to clim to the top platform. My time: 00:16:20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenge 5: At the start, jump to the higher part of the platform. From there, jump (do not double-jump) to the next high part of the platform and jump again to the third high part of the platform. Jump to the first spinning platform and then jump to the next spinning platform on the RIGHT. Double-jump to the platform ahead. Double jump again to reach the next platform and repeat to reach the final spinning platform on the right. Now, jump to the platform to the left and from there to the last platform before the carousel. Finally, jump to a platform of the carousel and once you’re in a good position, jump from platform to platform until you leave the carousel. It’s very easy. Do it in 18 seconds and you’ll be rewarded with 3 shells. My time: 00:16:70 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenge 6: Run up until the platform starts changing position, double jump up and repeat so you’ll start wall running up. Jump to climb the platform. Double-jump to the platform on the right. Jump to the nearest platform and from there, double jump to the last platform before the poles (this way you’ll save a couple of jumps). Immediately jump to the first pole and from there to the next. Jump to the next platform and quickly jump to the moving platform, on the right. Double jump and wall-run to climb to the top of the platform and then quickly perform jumps to reach the last platform, after the falling bridge. Do it in 14 seconds to be awarded 3 shells. My time: 00:14:91 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenge 7: At the start, perform a team-throw to the right. When the platform starts turning, perform a double jump to the right and another double jump to the right, to reach the next platform. Climb up, jump against the wall on the left, wall-run up and jump right to reach the next platform. Repeat to reach the next platform and run to the right. Double jump against the wall on the right, wall-run up and jump back to reach the moving platform. Finally jump to the last platform on the right. Do it in 14 seconds to get the 3 shells. My time: 00:14:72 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenge 8: Right at the start, double jump left and wall-run up to reach the second ledge. Jump right to the first pole and then left to grab the next ledge. Repeat until you reach the top. Go right, then up. Run along the right wall to reach the platform on the right. Run along the right wall to reach the goal. Do it in under 18 seconds to get the 3 shells. My time: 00:17:27 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenge 9: This challenge starts with a shortcut. Instead of going left, jumping the platforms above the red surface, jump UP (to the right of the turtle) from the platform you’re on at the beginning, perform an in-air double-jump and use your ability to jump from wall to wall to climb up and reach half of the way to the goal in a few seconds. Use the walls to climb up. Proceed straight to the end. Just be careful with the cylinder like platform that will start rolling if you touch it. Do this in under 15 seconds to get 3 shells. My time: 00:14:97 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenge 10: Even though this challenge looks similar to challenge 2, the way to beat it with a good time is not. To get the 3 shells, you’ll have to be good in the fights so you get 10 power stars as soon as you can (you get a star by eliminating an opponent; you lose ALL stars if you’re hit). To do so, you’ll have to use team-attacks with different turtles (use team attack of a different turtle while another turtle recharges) and capitalize when the enemies are down. You’ll need to do an almost perfect run to get the ultimate prize. Do it in under 1 minute and 20 seconds and you’ll guarantee the 3 shells. My time: 01:09:65 From WestheCrayon: In Map 10, rather than doing team attacks (which take way too long and aren't *that* powerful), I recommend switching to Donatello right away and using the warp slash (that is, the attack that you charge and that hits all enemies) exclusively during this fight. Warp slash, run away to give yourself distance to charge the attack, warp slash again. Rinse and repeat. Once you hit the mega attack mode, you won't even have to run -- just use the warp slash to kill everyone onscreen, charge it while waiting for the next batch to drop down, and let it rip again. Doing this should at least allow you to beat the level in under 55 seconds, but depending upon how lucky you are you may be able to get better times than that. My best run is in 35:07 -- I had a really fantastic go in which Don killed multiple enemies with each swipe: http://www.wesoteric.com/misc/tmntmap10.jpeg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenge 11: This challenge is just a matter of timing. If you time your jumps right, you’ll get 3 shells with no problems. So, jump the first platform and keep going on the moving platform. Repeat. Use the walls do climb up and drop down to the right. Keep going right jump up and run the platforms quickly to catch up the moving platform. Once you see the last platform of the level, double-jump to it. My time: 00:17:13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenge 12: Run up until the platform starts changing position, double jump up and repeat so you’ll start wall running up. Jump to climb the platform. Double-jump to the platform on the right. Jump to the nearest platform and from there jump right,perform an in-air double jump and follow it with a team-throw to reach the lastplatform of the level. Quickly jump back and do an air-attack to throw the footsoldier down the platform and beat the challenge. You may take a couple of tries to be successful in doing this second part, since the camera won’t follow the turtle that quickly. Under 11 seconds = 3 shells. My time: 00:10:36 From WestheCrayon: And for Map 12 -- and I can't take credit for this one, since I picked up the tip from a thread on the Wii version board -- all you have to do is do Raph's team attack at the start of the level to clear it straight away. - (Credit to Little_Ninja) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenge 13: At the start, jump to the higher part of the platform. From there, jump (do not double-jump) to the next high part of the platform and jump again to the third high part of the platform. Jump to the first spinning platform and then jump to the next spinning platform on the RIGHT. Use a team-throw to reach the next platform (still on the right side) and double-jump to the platform ahead. Jump again to reach the final platform before the carousel. Jump to a platform of the carousel (if you can do it immediately, you’re on your way to get the 3 shells; if not, restart the challenge). Jump to the cylinder-like platform (in the middle of the carousel – the one that is not moving) and wait one second. Then, jump to the right (to the front of the turtle) to the platform that is going down and from there, jump and perform a second jump while in-air and finally perform a team-throw to reach the goal (the platform below and to the right of the screen, that won’t be visible). This way, you’ll get to the goal without having to climb and go down again. In one word, “shortcut”. In two words, “three shells”. My time: 00:21:72 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenge 14: There is not much to explain about this level. Just try to stay on the high parts of the spinning screw-like platforms and never stop. Keep jumping. The only part in which you can be deceived to take the long way is when you see a platform far up on the screen and a couple of platforms on the left side of the screen. Just use a double jump and a team-throw to reach the platform on the upper part of the screen to save some time. My time: 00:48:91 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenge 15: Can you spell “shortcut”? This challenge is all about taking a shortcut. It’ll make it a whole lot easier and a whole lot faster. So, go along the platform, jump to the first high part of the platform and again to the next high part of that platform until you’ll see the bottom of a platform to the left of the turtle. Double-jump and then do a team-throw diagonally to reach that platform avoiding numerous jumps (that you would have to do, otherwise). Use your ability to jump from wall to wall to climb up (wall-running will spare you some time) to the next platform. Keep jumping along the long platform and, at the end, perform a team-throw to reach the first spinning platform. Keep jumping until you reach the last platform and time your last jump right so you won’t miss it. My time: 00:23:03 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenge 16: Wall-run the wall on the left to reach the platform. Repeat after you reach the platform to reach another platform (make sure you jump a little before you wall-run or you’ll fall). Repeat that again to reach yet another platform. Make the turn to the left of the turtle and jump to another platform. Jump and wall-run the left wall and, in the end, perform a jump so you can take advantage of your ability to jump from wall to wall to get to the top fast (once again, use your ability to run up the wall to speed up the process). Make it in 16 seconds and you’ll get your 3 shells. My time: 00:16:14 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- V.
