Gekikame Ninja Den is the 1990 Japanese Famicom release of the legendary Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action-platformer developed by Konami. Players can swap between Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello on the fly, utilizing each turtle’s unique weapon range and attack power to survive punishingly difficult overworld exploration and side-scrolling stages.
How to Play
Navigate the top-down overworld to find stage entrances, and fight through side-scrolling action platforming segments against the Foot Clan. You can switch between the four turtles at any time from the pause menu. Since each turtle has a separate health bar, swapping out injured characters is critical to surviving the campaign.
- D-Pad / Arrow Keys: Move / Climb
- A / X Key: Jump
- B / Z Key: Attack
- Start / Enter: Pause / Switch Turtle
Tips
- Donatello’s bo staff has the longest reach and highest damage; keep him healthy to use him against bosses and tough enemies.
- Use Raphael and Michelangelo, whose weapons have shorter range, to explore easier sections or collect pizza slices, preserving the health of your stronger turtles.
- In the underwater dam level, carefully maneuver through the electrical barriers but keep a close eye on the strict time limit for defusing the bombs.
