This is the first Ninja Turtles game to return to the series' breakout era of the late '80s and early '90s, and it does so with the bright aesthetics, era-appropriate music, and goofy comedy missing from other Turtles games that have come since. Each hero and enemy is loaded with comical and exaggerated animations, along with visual gags that don't get old over repeated playthroughs. Newscaster April O'Neil joins the fight by beating up foes with microphones and cameras. Michelangelo madly dashes in a way that pays amusing homage to Wile E. And your march toward the end of each level constantly interrupts members of the Foot Clan while they're doing ridiculous things, from working fast-food counters at a mall to rifling through parked cars to steal their engines. Tribute Games relishes the opportunity to animate other familiar characters from the '90s animated series, and boss encounters in particular come with detailed, exaggerated takes on classic character designs that have aged incredibly well.
From obvious mainstays Bebop and Rocksteady to deep cuts like Tempestra, each boss encounter benefits from charismatic dialogue and diverse battling patterns. The boss fights are so fun that I hope the game is eventually updated with a "boss rush" that lets players fast forward to them.
