- A playthrough of Konami's 1993 license-based versus fighter for the Super Nintendo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters.
This video shows two separate runs through the game, both played on the highest difficulty setting in order to show the best endings:
Leonardo, Story mode 2:57
Aska, Tournament mode 27:32
At 58:14 I let the attract mode play on loop to show all of the character profiles.
Releasing shortly after its Genesis cousin ( • Teenage Mutant Ninja T... ), the SNES's version of Tournament Fighters was the second game in Konami's trio of fighting games starring the half-shell heroes. Though they're both Street Fighter II-style fighting games that were developed concurrently at the same company, the experiences that the games offered couldn't have been more different. The SNES version had more effort, skill, and resources poured into its production, and it really shows.
The 2P versus game aside, there are two main game modes: the story mode follows the turtles as they explore New York searching for April and Splinter, while the tournament mode is set up like a game show in which characters can win big money and big prizes.
The roster features twelve characters, ten of whom are playable without a code: you get the four turtles, Shredder, Aska, Wingnut, Chrome Dome, Armaggon, and War. Karai and Rat King serve as the bosses. The characters, including the turtles, play quite differently from one another. Whether you like grapple-happy wrestlers, fireball spammers, or long-range aerial attackers, the variety caters to a wide range of play styles. Even better is that the characters don't feel like mere clones of Street Fighter II's character archetypes.
I do wish that they'd included Bebop and Rocksteady as more than background decoration, though!
Everyone has a good assortment of special and ultimate moves, but the ebb and flow of play is a lot more nuanced than the NES ( • Teenage Mutant Ninja T... ) and Genesis versions of Tournament Fighters. The combo system is better developed, the inclusion of weapons allows for better balancing between characters in terms of range and power, and the game's overall emphasis on speed makes for some pretty dynamic and exciting match-ups. The gameplay isn't quite as tight and as polished as Street Fighter II Turbo's, but it's excellent nonetheless.
The art is top-notch for a SNES game, rivalling even arcade fighters of its time. The characters and backdrops really pop thanks to the phenomenal use of color and the careful attention to small details, and the animations flow well and give attacks a solid sense of impact. The music is equally well done - the soundtrack isn't as memorable as what you'll hear in Turtles in Time ( • Teenage Mutant Ninja T... ), but it's just as well written and the sound quality is outstanding.
The SNES version is widely regarded as the best of the Tournament Fighters games, and as one of the best fighting games on the SNES, it deserves that distinction. I'm glad that all three will finally be available again once the Cowabunga Collection drops, but I have no doubt that this will be the center of focus for fighting game fans.

The SNES version of Tournament Fighters is one of the system's best fighting games, and by far the best of the three TMNT versus-fighters. It was a really good call to include this in the upcoming Cowabunga Collection!
Yeah, but did they indeed the uncensored Japanese version? Just asking for a friend. 😏
Yep, I can't call this a street fighter clone because it's very well done. I think the SNES version is the best one out there. 😊
A shame Aska never became featured in the 1987 Cartoon version of TMNTs, but could you imagine of what would happen if she was indeed featured in said Cartoon back in the 1990s?
I think the Cowabunga Collection does also include the Japanese version.
@@ancientone5903 I think Aska would've made more sense in the 2003 TMNT, where Karai is actually one of the main characters from seasons 2-5, both as an enemy & ally. In the 1987 cartoon, Aska would just be a cameo like Lotus.
_Quite a bit_ better than the Genesis version. Retro fighting games never cease to amaze; they displayed some of the most detailed sprite art on 16-bit consoles at the time.
The genesis version was awful compared to the SNES version
I actualy remember my local Blockbuster video held a tournament of this game in particular. I managed to make it to the semi final bracket using Cyber Shredder, but I lost to a guy who was really good with War. Then he lost the final match to a guy playing as Armaggon. It's a great game!
That's awesome! I don't think I've ever encountered a TMNT Tournament Fighters... Tournament back then. Let alone, in a Blockbuster Video of all places.
@@Dorian_Scott One here where I live did this game as part of a 3 game tournament, you played the 3 games and the employee tracked your score, highest score won I think the grand prize was you were made in to like an NPC for a Blockbuster Exclusive game that never got released
That’s awesome. Love reading stories like these. Thanks for sharing
I remember playing this at a Blockbuster game tournament
The SNES entry of Tournament Fighters is without a doubt the most well known and most beloved one of the trio. This one follows all of Street Fighter II's gameplay conventions more closely in a very good way, and it was one of the first fighting games to implement Super Moves, a concept that was introduced in Art of Fighting a year prior, and would later be popularized and standardized by Super Street Fighter II Turbo the following year in 1994. This game's art and setting is a huge amalgamation of the cartoon series and the comics, both Mirage Studios and Archie Comics, it shows in the character roster. An excellent fighting game all around that fans of the genre should give a shot. Also a trivia about Aska, in early screenshots of the game her name was originally Mitsu, indicating that during the production she was meant to be a character from the live action TMNT movies, continuing that trend that has been done with Tokka, Rahzar, and Tatsu. However, likely due to the poor reception of the third movie, they decided to change her name and turned Aska into an OC made for this game to fill the female fighter spot instead, following the footsteps of Tora, Shogun, and Sissyphus.
I actually thought this game introduced super moves. Thanks for the history lesson on that.
In addition, because of the similarities to Aska and Martial Champion's Rachael (both are Kunoichi whose ensembles consist of a kimono and a bodysuit), it is said that Aska was just that, tournament fighters' version of Rachael.
Another gem in the cowabunga collection.
Well done for Displaying all the TMNT games of the Cowabunga Corner!
Saved the best for last!
Tyvm! :)
Man, I grew up on this game. I think I'd probably buy the Cowabunga Collection just for this!
These graphics could have passed for a mid 90’s arcade game. This and Endless Duel are probably the system’s most underrated fighters.
Definitely, both are so fun
And what do you say about Power Rangers Fighting Edition?
About the only thing that gives it away are the limited animation frames. I would've loved to what a Neogeo version of this game would look like since the gfx would be basically the same, but with tons more animation.
Back when Karai was limited to just the comics... and being an OP boss here.
Yeah. SNES Karai is obscenely broken.
@@figment1988 you thought the snes karai was bad, the sega version of her is worst.
How many times do you fight Karai.
Always a joy to see games take their source material seriously. I spy the Stockman's mousers and even Kala the Neutrino girl on the art museum stage! So many references throughout this game. Looking forward to playing this one on the Cowabunga Collection for sure! (but it looks like they still refused to release it, despite your high quality upload marathon...)
* sighs * I missed playing Tournament Fighters on SNES. My cousin used to own it until it was missing and couldn't be able to find it. It was such a fun and addicting tournament fighting game ever made since Street Fighter II and my ace in this game will always be Raph. As a kid, I keep saying and guessing the names they say.
Until, 15 years later when CZcams existed and they posted game playthroughs, I noticed there was a Super Famicom version called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Warriors, which that's the Japanese version of Tournament Fighters. I discovered there are some differences in the game in comparison with the SNES version. The Turtles' voices sounded so clearer than the US and has this 80s TMNT cartoon vibe to it. For example, if you use Leo's projectile attack which now I learn what the name of the move is -- Shining Cutter. Wow! Never thought an 16 bit console can handle such a crystal clear voice. Also, another difference comes from Aska was her outfit and her victory pose. As you already knew, in the Japanese version, her outfit is too skimpy while in the US version modify that to avoid the fan-service for the younger viewers. The mugshots next to the health bar were different than the US like Donatello, Wingnut, Aska (though, she smiles in the SFC while the US makes her frown), Chrome Dome, and Karai. Also, the Story Mode, the Turtles Blimp have different designs from each other.
Whew....sorry if that is too much explaining and I am nerding myself through. ^^; Other than that, great going to upload the two playthroughs, man and also on your Turtles in Time. This one's for the Cowabunga Collection! :D
Only downside with this game I had was no playing as Casey Jones but this was a solid roster and a great TMNT vs fighter. Can't wait to play this on cowabunga collection
I LOVE this game! I caught myself saying the names of the moves so many times as I watched this. Definitely an amazing game from the music to the stages to the uniqueness of every character.
Let's kick more shell!
TURTLE COMBAT!
The Mousers in the Museum level are so adorable, especially when they do their little happy dance when someone gets knocked out X3 🤣
Yes. I love mousers
2003 Raph: What if Mikey becomes The Battle Nexus Champion?!? He'll never let me live it down, AND I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH MYSELF!!!
I just wanted to say "Lightning cutter"
Cowabunga!!! Love your TMNT play thoughs. I notice I missed some of them in my Anbernic 351V ROM collection.
Wow, it really does look like night and day with the snes and genesis versions. I guess Genesis does what Nintendon't can't be applied here!
Genesis takes a big fat L here.
@@edwardgaines6561 infact most times that a Genesis port doesn't stack up against its SNES counterpart, the L is often bigger than you can expect
@@turrican3839 The web series Console Wars seems to say different. Sega and SNES are more evened out. One system isn't necessarily better than the other. Both have their pros and cons.
I mean when Konami is specifically putting more effort into the Nintendo version of the game over Sega that's to be expected. I'm sure if Sega handled it in house who knows how great it could've been on the Genesis.
@@Des_Zee Well, at least _Hyperstone Heist_ was a good effort on the Sega. Very good music too!
awesome playthrough
Thanks!
To get the ending between the 2 modes you need to complete the High Difficult
April gets kidnapped more often than Princess Peach I swear!
49:54 Whoa, took a loss there!
53:25 Whoa, don't see that everyday.
And that's why I love both April and Peach, and why I hate April from Rise of TMNT.
42:40 lmfao... Yep There it is. Me and my cousins and friends all thought this was the most hilarious sh!t you could do in a fighting game at the time. "IM THROW MY A$$ AT YOU! WATCH OUT!"
Table salt! Whose toes am I?
It's amazing this videogame, greetings from Guaranda, Ecuador.
😍😍😍😍😍🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
Master Splinter well done my son
I'm so very proud
Such a classic!! They should’ve made a sequel to add more characters.
Loved this game. I always played on high speed because I was so used to street fighter 2 turbo.
Fantastic video.
Somehow, if an Arcade version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters ever came out in the 1990s, it would feel much more towards to its SNES counterpart with a few known differences (the Big What If idea that could of happened back in the mid if not late 1990s).
The Arcade version of TMNTs Tournament Fighters would come out after the Console versions, unlike the last two TMNTs Arcade Games coming out before said Console versions.
The fighter roaster to the Arcade version of TMNTs Tournament Fighters would be like SNES counterpart with additional fighters from the NES & Genesis counterparts respectfully: April O'Neil, Casey Jones, Hothead, Krang (another boss fighter), Ray Fillet & Sisyphus (Musha Beetle in the Japanese version).
Stages from the Genesis version and perhaps the NES version of TMNTs Tournmanet Fighters may also appear in the Arcade version.
Super Shredder would also be the final boss fighter, a first for the Arcade version of any TMNTs game as Shredder was only seen pulling off his Super Form in the Console versions (Konami Era Only) as seen in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secrets of the Ooze Film.
To simply put, if an Arcade version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters where to ever be seen sitting in a Local Arcade as well as a Pizza Restaurant back in the mid to late 1990s, the amount of Quarters it would accoumate would be immense! Plus it and its Gameboy counterpart (if a Tournament Fighters version for that also happened) would also be included in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Cowabunga Collection resulting in a total of 15 games in one insane package!
Definitely one of the best fighting games at the time. The fighting mechanics so crisp and were way better than Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. The only game to match it was Killer Instinct however KI was on a league of its own with its combo based fighting.
honestly the only thing I like about the Sega version more is the OST and the fact that it's got Casey. otherwise even as a Sega fanboy, I gotta say this is the much better version.
I think I actually owned this game. I was only slightly disappointed with it compared to Street Fighter II Turbo, which I had. But my brothers and I loved the Turtles, so we still considered it a great game overall.
There's a controller code to make Rat King and Karai playable in Vs mode. On controller 2, press: X, Up, Y, Left, B, Down, A, Right, X, Up. Go to Vs. Mode and press left on controller 1.
Thanks for the tip.
I remember owning this game on SNES, but the story mode i've never seen it go like the way you did it usually it was Rat King or Shedder that had April or Splinter, only once for me did war hold Splinter
An Art of Fighting reference:
3:00 In story mode you can play only as the protagonists of the game (like in Art of Fighting where you can only play with Ryo and Robert).
27:35 In tournament and vs modes you can play with every character (like in Art of Fighting where you can play with everyone).
The updated Japanese version, Mutant Warriors, has more content, revamped (and better) voices, QoL fixes and game balancements.
Also...
28:50 ...It's not the same without Aska doing her winning pose in Mai Shiranui's style from the updated Japanese version.
Yes I did it I beat the game of Teenage mutant ninja Turtles fighter Tournament on snes and I did it 38 Times.
A *HUGE* improvement over the Genesis version. For one thing, you can actually *_do combos_* in it, the AI isn't nearly as cheap, the roster is better allowing you play as characters like Shredder, and tons of more interesting characters like Aska or... a shark? And the best part is that you do not have to play the hardest difficulty just to get a crappy ending that is not worth your time in the slightest. You get endings that are actually entertaining and have a high replayability factor.
At least both versions do have great graphics and an equally good soundtrack. I prefer this version, though.
There's nothing wrong with the controls in the Genesis version. They're responsive and work well. The ai is still pretty bad though.
The roster still could've used some more recognizable characters to play as, like Bebop & Rocksteady or even Slash!
@@camulodunon What I meant was that it's much easier to do special attacks here than in the Genesis version.
TMNT Tournament Fighter
Best Out Of Three
Winner: First Live Action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Loser: Turtles Tunes
Yeah I did it I beat the game of Teenage mutant ninja Turtles fighter Tournament on snes and I did it 27 Times.
Awesome game, but one thing always bothered me. Why did they make the RAT KING of all characters the beefy grappling Zangief archetype? He was a gangly, emaciated mutant in both the comics and cartoon. Such a 180 for the character.
I played this game from the time it came out until 2011 😢. A true 🐐
*edit- just turned 34, this game has lived rent free in my head almost my entire life
Those were the days when octopus was a monster but now humans have started eating that too
I didn't think a double K.O was possible, never happened to me when I used to play the game.
What was your favorite stage? My favorite was the Thunderdome. I also liked how you could use parts of the arena as weapons.
I liked the rock concert :)
This game is a classic
Yahoo I did it I beat the game of Teenage mutant ninja Turtles fighter Tournament on snes and I did it 40 Times.

NES version was damn good and still it is!!!
Does the ninja girl scream "put down the knife" when she does her flying uppercut?
List of moves, totally made up names from just listening:
"Hanging Turd" (Leo projectile)
"Plastic Shell" (Leo winning)
"Ground Strike" (Robot guy)
"Gorav Totem" (Shredder)
"Endless Blue" (That elbow hit from Leo, 18:23)
"Hushonanai" (Aska uppercut)
"Febusan" (Aska tornado)
"Rising Thunder" (Mike)
"Dragonbreath" (Mike)
"Ombaten" (Projectile from the bat guy)
"Saint-Marie" (Karai slide)
"Yes-thunder" (Karai)
"Deadmary" (Raphael)
"Lowergrip" (Raphael)
"Rumblesoup/Rumbles'on" (Donatello)
"Groundbomb" (Donatello)
"Watch bomber" (Rat King)
"Elvis Hucksner" (Raphael roll)
"A kick" (Robot guy aerial kick)
Well, for the Super Famicom version, you can hear the Turtles voices a lot more clearer and better than the Super Nintendo version. The SFC was known as TMNT: Mutant Warriors. There are differences in that. And yes, I am like you when guessing what the names of the moves are.
"DOUBLE K.O!" (LOL) XD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH - 53:30
Hey guys I got the game of Teenage mutant ninja Turtles fighter Tournament on snes.
I can't believe it how can I beat the game of Teenage mutant ninja Turtles fighter Tournament on snes.
I love this game!!
Sorry, Genesis, SNES version is better.
There is the sexy Aska, my favorite character of this game. I am mad that they censored Aska's thong swimsuit in american version.
And you rescue April in Story Mode. I play TMNT games to rescue April.
In Genesis version, you use April and she looks like Blaze Fielding from Streets of Rage. There, you make endings according to the difficulty level, not according to your character.
Remember: April from Rise of TMNT is not our April. They made another character using the name April.
I believe that show was meant to be a prequel if I remember and April in the comics that came out before the cartoons was apparently African American. I didn't know that until I heard about Rise of TMNT.
Also, I believe it's called a leotard as swimsuit is more like swimwear as not every leotard is designed for swimwear.
FUN TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES TOURNAMENT FIGHTERS 1993 (SNES ) -PLAYTHROUGH !!!!
You just wanna say you had a video up before the release.
53:31 *DOUBLE KO*
punchodeline👊
How did you beat this game at level 7, any tips?
It's mainly just figuring out how the CPU reacts to different moves. You can bait most of them pretty easily.
53:24 or 53:25 THAT was unexpected.
Hey guys I can't beat The Game of Teenage mutant Ninja Turtle on snes and it to hard on Level 7.
3:27 Un Dato Curioso. Como Te Distes Cuenta De Que Pocoyo Of Rage Fight Tournament Fighters En La Primera Escena De El Modo Historia Los 4 Personajes Ven La Tele Ya Que El Reportero Dice Que Lepus Esta Conquistando El Mundo Ya Que En Un Papel Pone “I Conquer The World To Kick Your Butts Lepus” Y Salen A La Calle Para Ayudarle Un Helicóptero Y Mientras Viene Y Van A La Primera Batalla. Verdad.
Turtles ohh 😯
Let's kick shell 🐚
Weapon katana blade spin sky palace before after
Is it me but when shredder say his move doesn't it sound like he said f*** shredder
SNES TOURNAMENT FIGHTERS
This game was underrated. Yes it copied from Street Fighter but every fighting game did at this time. The Genesis & NES versions was garbage.
I hate Karia in Teenage mutant ninja Turtles fighter Tournament on snes she attacks me and laugh ha ha ha.
Sure looks easy for being on Hard
🍕👌

This is overall the more polished and well made game for sure out of the 2 16-bit TMNT TF games. But the music is a different story. The soundtrack in the Genesis game was just awesome, and the music here, while fitting, is pretty forgettable in my opinion.
