Play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III : Radical Rescue Online

So, TMNT III: Radical Rescue on Game Boy starts with a rough setup—Shredder’s back, and he’s already nabbed April and three of the turtles. You’re stuck playing as Michelangelo (at least at first), sneaking through this massive fortress trying to free your brothers. It’s way less linear than the earlier games—more like one big maze where you hunt down bosses, grab keys, and unlock new areas.

Each turtle you rescue becomes playable, which is cool because they all have different moves. Donatello’s staff lets you poke enemies from a safe distance, Raphael’s sais climb walls—stuff like that. The fortress layout’s kind of overwhelming at first, but once you get a feel for where things loop back, it clicks. The music’s got that classic Game Boy chiptune energy too, all bouncy and tense when it needs to be.

It’s not perfect—some of the platforming’s janky, and good luck figuring out where to go without a guide—but it’s way more ambitious than most licensed games from that era. You can tell they actually tried something new here.
