Hack NES / Famicom

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Bosses

A work-in-progress hack that turns the bosses of The Manhattan Project into playable characters, starting with Shredder in Leonardo's place.

What it changes

Shadow501's hack makes the game's bosses playable while keeping their original sprites, animations, colors and attacks. The first one is Shredder, who replaces Leonardo:

  • A swings his sword, B jumps, and A in mid-air gives an aerial attack
  • A + B together unleashes his lightning special
  • he keeps his boss look and palette

Rocksteady, Slash and Leatherhead are planned as further playable bosses.

Good to know

This is an early work in progress. The author has tested the first scene with Shredder, but the rest of the game has not been checked yet, and the hack was made with AI assistance.

Playing it

The patch is made for the USA release. Apply it to your own copy following the instructions on its patch database page.
