** Their AI gets even worse in shuriken and cannon stages, and most of the time you'll see their crosshairs wandering around aimlessly and not even attempting to attack enemies most of the time. And when they do, they'll usually just fire one or two shots at a time.
** Regardless of stage type, the AI seems chronically incapable of dodging attacks, even highly-telegraphed ones like Oroku Saki's lightning and Bishop's energy blasts. And don't be surprised if they decide the best course of action against, say, Ultimate Drako is to try and guard against his unblockable fireballs.

** Boss fights have a variant of this in ''Mutant Nightmare''. Dealing damage to the boss fills up a gauge underneath their health, and if that gauge fills fully, the boss will be briefly stunned.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: The Ultimate Turtle scrolls in ''Mutant Nightmare'', which don't appear at all in the collection until you fill their unlock conditions: [[spoiler:beating all the Nightmare chapters, then Ultimate Drako, then beating the Nightmare chapters a ''second time''.]] They're every bit worth the effort needed to get them, giving the respective Turtle a flashy SuperMode that hugely powers them up to the point where most attacks deal ScratchDamage to their massive health pool and allows them to kill most bosses in seconds, while also replacing their shuriken with a powerful KamehameHadouken. They even avoid the usual "nothing to use them on" problem most ultimate items have (despite the entire story mode being more than done by the time you unlock them) by being very useful for progressing through the [[BrutalBonusLevel Free Battle levels,]] with the Nightmare chapter's Free Battles having mooks so tough that you basically need the Ultimate scrolls to progress past the first few areas.

* TacticalSuicideBoss: Felkyrie in ''Mutant Nightmare''. It's usually immune to attack entirely, except for a brief moment after some of its attacks. Its teleportation move at least has an opening so short that you basically have to be standing in the spot Felkyrie teleports to before the move even finishes to exploit it, but its highly-telegraphed dive attack gives you a good few seconds to wail on the thing before it recovers. At low health, Felkyrie will shield itself with its wings if attacked after the dive... but then becomes vulnerable when letting its guard down.

Shortly after a group of mouser robots destroy the turtles' old home, they begin to look for a new home. Later the turtles get in a scuffle with Harry, a man who controls a powerful nanobot aggregate. Reports of a 'turtle man' being sighted are a cause of concern for the turtles' reputation so they decide to investigate for the imposter. Afterwards, the turtles attempt to foil a museum robbery done by the Foot Clan. After failing to stop the Goblin Blade from being being stolen, Donatello notices a strange crystal he found in their home that glows when the turtles head down one of the newly uncovered tunnels. They uncover formerly human mutants who got that way from Foot Clan experimentation, and that the mutants can only be kept alive underground. Swearing revenge on Shredder for the suffering he caused them, the turtles prepare an all out assault on Shredder's base of operations.
The game got 2 sequels: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus in 2004, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare in 2005.

* ArcVillain: ''Mutant Nightmare'' features four different story arcs with the turtles fighting a different threat in each. Chapter 1 is based on the Triceraton invasion led by Zanramon, chapter 2 is centered around Agent Bishop, chapter 3 has the Shredder, and Ultimate Drako is the villain of the Nightmare chapter.
* ArtificialStupidity: ''Mutant Nightmare'', unlike the previous two games, allows all four Turtles to be active at once, with the AI taking over the turtles that aren't player-controlled. Unfortunately, their behavior is... inconsistent, to say the least.
** Bot turtles often have trouble determining when is or isn't a good time to use their {{Limit Break}}s. Donnie and Raph are particularly bad about whiffing due to their limited range. Similarly, it's often a bad idea to trust them with [[TooAwesomeToUse Genbu]] as they tend to be extremely trigger-happy with it, [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill even using them against ordinary mooks]].
** Bot turtles will often fail to do the inputs for continuing a team attack for absolutely no reason.
** Stunning a boss will, around half the time, lead to the bots dogpiling on the helpless boss. The other half of the time, they'll stand around and do nothing.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a beat 'em up video game released in 2003 by Konami. The game is based on the 2003 TV series. The main gameplay loosely adapts the following season one episodes: Things Change, A Better Mouse Trap, Attack of the Mousers, Meet Casey Jones, Nano, Darkness on the Edge of Town, The Way of Invisibility, Notes From the Underground (Parts 1-3), and Return to New York (Parts 1-3), as well as a level that is not derived from the animated series at all. Cutscenes used were directly lifted from the 2003 TV series, with some cutscenes being original for the game.
The player can play as either Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo or Raphael. Each turtle has his own unique set of levels to complete. There is a story mode for one or two players, and there is also a versus mode where two players can fight head to head. Unlockable characters are Spinter, Casey Jones (both of which can play in the story mode), Turtlebot, Hun, Shredder, Oroku Saki and Hamato Yoshi.
As for the plot of the game:
Shortly after a group of mouser robots destroy the turtles' old home, they begin to look for a new home. Later the turtles get in a scuffle with Harry, a man who controls a powerful nanobot aggregate. Reports of a 'turtle man' being sighted are a cause of concern for the turtles' reputation so they decide to investigate for the imposter. Afterwards, the turtles attempt to foil a museum robbery done by the Foot Clan. After failing to stop the Goblin Blade from being being stolen, Donatello notices a strange crystal he found in their home that glows when the turtles head down one of the newly uncovered tunnels. They uncover formerly human mutants who got that way from Foot Clan experimentation, and that the mutants can only be kept alive underground. Swearing revenge on Shredder for the suffering he caused them, the turtles prepare an all out assault on Shredder's base of operations.
The game got 2 sequels: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus in 2004, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare in 2005.
