- A playthrough of Konami's 1991 license-based action game for the Nintendo Game Boy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Back from the Sewers.
Played through on the normal difficulty level.
About a year after the release of the excellent Fall of the Foot Clan ( • Teenage Mutant Ninja T... ), Konami brought the Turtles back to Nintendo's handheld for an encore performance, just in time for the 1991 holiday season.
Shredder, Krang, and all of their minions from Dimension X are again running amok in New York, and as the song says, these Turtle boys don't cut 'em no slack.
There are six lengthy stages for our amphibian heroes to battle through this time around, and unlike in Fall of the Foot Clan, your choice of turtle has an impact on the gameplay since they all differ slightly from one another in their attack range and speed.
The structure of the game is similar, but there are a few key differences. The levels are larger and better varied: though you still walk to the right as you flail your weapon at anything and everything that moves, there are a few open areas with multiple paths, and a couple of areas (like the autoscrolling skateboard stage and the elevator ride) even go so far as to shift the game into a 2.5D perspective that gives the playfield a sense of depth akin to that found in the TMNT arcade games.
The controls are tight, too. They feel about the same as they did in Fall of the Foot Clan, but the shuriken toss has now been replaced with a slide maneuver that can be used to attack or to evade airborne enemies.
Back from the Sewers looks and sounds fantastic, easily surpassing already excellent presentation of the first game. The benefits of shipping on a two-megabit cartridge (twice the size of the first and third GB TMNT games!) are immediately obvious. The clear snippets of digitized speech sprinkled throughout are a rare treat for a Game Boy game, and the graphics are a big upgrade. The character and enemy sprites are impressively large, the animation is smoother, and the backdrops are more complex - it looks much better than the average NES game despite the low resolution and lack of color. The art style is a bit awkward and never quite manages to nail the look of the comic or the cartoon, but the graphics turned a lot of heads in 1991.
The game isn't terribly difficult overall, though it is a fair bit more challenging than Fall of the Foot Clan when you play at the normal difficulty level. It has its frustrating moments when it'll relentlessly pelt you with attacks from off-screen or when the action becomes so busy that you can barely tell what's going on. It's still quite reasonable most of the time, but I prefer the flow and feel of Fall of the Foot Clan.
That's not to say that Back From the Sewers isn't still a lot of fun, though. If you were a fan of Fall of the Foot Clan, it's probably safe to assume that you'll enjoy this one too when it's re-released as part of the upcoming Cowabunga Collection.
PIZZA TIME!

This is so nostalgic for me. I must've played this game 100x as a kid.
Same here! I also always thought the intro was amazing for a Gameboy!
Did you have play in hard mode? It is insane!
Anyone else who’s excited for the cowabunga collection?
I hope you own it played it a bunch by now like me. Wonderful collection worth every penny. Love all the tweakable options....
@@4713Caine I do own it now. I love it!
I Am!
I never got tired of this game. Glad I still have it ❤❤
Pizza time!
I couldn't help laughing and or imitating the scragglized speech every time a turtle just STOPPED progressing in order to have pizza time. It seems that on only two or three occasions there was NOT time for pizza time.
This is my favorite of the GB TMNT trilogy, that soundtrack, especially stage 2 and stage 3, absolutely delighful to the ears.
As a kid my dad would take me with him to work sometimes where he did some maintenance stuff in the underground tunnels of D.C. I had this game and was playing in places that legit felt like what you’d imagine the turtles world was like. Good memories.
…also I really wish the Cowabunga collection kept the green screen instead of the black and gray we got
Konami's videogames 80-90's style was awesome !
Every Boss Music are so Nostalgic 😁
Agreed with your synopsis, despite being technically better in almost every way, I think Fall of the Foot Clan is more fun.
The typical case of sometimes less is more, or maybe simplicity is best when executed well 🙂
I only played Fall of the Foot Clan, so I would say that Fall of the Foot Clan is better...
Fall of the Foot Clan was fun. My brother got it for Christmas and I had to play it.
FinalBOSS:...$$ROBERT KIYOSAKY $$!!!!! JAJA JAA
I bet this looks ridiculous for the younger audience and they roll their eyes and call it shit.
Yes, there are more sophisticated games now. However, when I was 10 years old, this came out and I played it all summer long till I managed to play it through. I think for us older guys, it has a sentimental value.
Trust me, youngsters, in 30 years kids will roll their eyes over the animation of your games today. Don't take yourself too serious and be aware of your own nostalgia. ;)
This gameboy port is sooo good that it just feels like playing it in an arcade with a green monitor,it’s just incredible how konami pushed the gameboy beyond it’s limits.
Port from what? This was released for GB
This is an arcade port?
@@deckofcards87 yes
@@deckofcards87 NO. The arcade game is totally different. You can search more info in wikipedia.
I had a Game Gear and it just couldn't compete with the Gameboy, even with a color screen
What's neat woth the original Gameboy green screen is to make up for lack of colour the pixels and how they were creativevly used actually made the sprites etc nicer then even on the colour Sega Game Gear in some ways. IMO
Even though the blurring on it sucks, I agree. I always thought of it as the gaming equivalent of those old green and amber monochrome monitors. They always looked so cool showing graphics.
Wow!! What Memories 🤩👍💪
Soon we'll get radical rescue!
The voices sound good for early gameboy
It's amazing this videogame.
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
The way Raph is holding his sai looks like a chicken walk 😆
Thank you for posting this, this definitely brings back wonderful memories. I got this game on the original game boy just like what you see here when it came out in 91. I now can play it on the cowabunga collection with the tweakable option to display it in different color palettes. I wish we could play a version in full color though. still, a super fun game regardless of which version you play.
A very solid follow up entry to the previous game boy outing. Although it is more challenging, boss fights especially, and art can be a bit awkward at times. You can get used to it in no time though. Ofc, we are all excited for the next three games coming up after this one, because we'll be into a special ride and those games are near perfection putting the turtles at their prime. Still, a this is very worthy game to play overall. Pizza Time!
Gameboy original screen and design remains a classic even to this day, despite having no colors other then the yellow, black and grey.
I would always do my best to make sure none of my Turtles got captured, but when it happens, that security robot is no pushover.
The music in this game slaps!
3:53 - killer soundtrack!
true story I remember back in 1993 I watch some guy play this few sections where i live at he was stuck on the construction site I ask him can i help you out he said get outta here kid i was like alright lol
Lmao that's hilarious.
Just heard about limited run games turtles soundtrack collection they are releasing. Nine TMNT games released between 1989 and 1993 on vinyl, cd and cassette. That's why I'm here 😁😄
I remember, very battery consuming game and no password...😅
amazing gameplay , plz do more
The Green Machine Are At It Again In Konami's TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2 BACK FROM THE SEWERS For Your Nintendo Game Boy!
Amazing how the Gameboy can have some voice work
Samurai Shodown 3 (or Spirits, that version never left Japan) on the GB was a work of art itself, slap it into a Super Game Boy, and after every opponent defeated, your character says something on their victory screen.
@@Bloodreign1 the audio comes from the snes though
If you think this is amazing, check Cannon Fodder. There are well over 40 phrases being spoken in that game, by friend and foe alike.
I'm a lot less familiar with the GB titles (never owned a Game Boy, it was a bit before my time), but, neat. I can't wait for The Manhattan Project!
I love this game of TMNT series.
The voice samples clarity are insanely impressive for the gameboy, not to mention the animation leads to this game feeling like it has a LOT of personality.
But in every other aspect I would say this game is extremely frustrating. Sluggish controls, gigantic hurt boxes, animation that impede on your reaction time, as well as a plethora of cheap shots and beginner traps.
Its a very technically impressive game, but as a game to actually play...I think its just not fun.
Another winner!
This is a well-made game considering the strict limitations of the Game Boy - but the Turtles move SO SLOW in this game.
Thats because they are.turtles
Ikr
I loved this game as a kid. It got stolen by some kid pretending to be my friend….
I wasn't pretending
is radical rescue next? its the best in the handheld turtles trilogy and reason #2 im looking forward to the collection
It's not next, but it is done and coming soon :)
I remember having huge regrets after trading this game for 3 mediocre GB games. Huge regrets.
Kind of tough but I did it!
Leonardo, come ON! You are supposed to be the RESPONSIBLE ninja turtle. JUST because you FOUND a pizza in the TECHNODROME does NOT make it pizza time! It is one thing to eat a pizza hidden in sewage in stage 4 because you've been living in it and i guess are immune, but technodrome pizza is probably a trap! Haven't you ever seen a [generic copyright free 1987 TMNT-universe] roadrunner [style] cartoon?
Dude, you're talking about a video game. LOL.
@@WizardOfWor I take pizza and time very seriously.
@@Bimshwel Still, it's not a cartoon or a movie. It's not even a RPG game, LMAO.
@@WizardOfWor You seem to be getting entertainment value from my statements, which validates them!
awesome! man can you share the shaders parameters settings?
Yeah, next time I'm at the computer I'll take a look at my settings.
