Hyperstone Heist had the best music.
Hperstone Heist OST
I was disappointed when I played the SNES and so many of these songs were either lacking or just didn't sound as good.
Hyperstone Heist tickled my ear holes something fierce.
That's where I feel Hyperstone Heist is much stronger, and closer to the arcade version, most likely because its similar sound hardware I'm guessing. The synths are alot closer. I don't think the beats or hits have quite the same punch as the SNES version though. Which is a shame because that's pretty much what I remember the arcade game for.
You know, as a huge fan of Turtles in Time, I never got the Re-Shelled version.I usually forget that that garbage 3D remake was ever made. If you ever wanted proof that a perfect game could be ruined even when all the work is done and nothing needed to be changed about the game, or an example of what it looks like to pour dung over a diamond, look no further. They already screwed up by choosing to base it on the arcade version. All they had to do was port Turtles in Time with 4 players with online play. That's it. But it's almost as if they were tasked to ruin it on purpose with no original soundtrack and the lifeless 3D they brought it over with.
... I'd still like the SNES version with 4 player online support. That's all.
You can't appreciate its badness in still shots. More than anything else, the fact that it ran at like ~50fps with constant screen tearing made it feel even jankier than it should have.You know, as a huge fan of Turtles in Time, I never got the Re-Shelled version.

So I look at the list in the link and it has me wondering since so many people are praising the SNES version's "superior gameplay." Is the SNES version actually even better or is it just easier so people think it's better?HDL, a speedrunner of the arcade version wrote a Pastebin with his opinion on the SNES version being iffy with stuff I didn't know about.
I did grow up with both versions. Wish I still had my copy.

Konami is presumed to hold the rights over some assets in Turtles in Time (supposedly that's why the horrible Ubisoft remake didn't have any of the original music) and seeing how much Konami sucks now I don't think we'll ever get this fabled definitive TMNT:TiT release unless a whole bunch of people collaborate together... and that would also mean Konami getting their heads out of their ass which I don't see happening anytime soon.Arcade: 4 players, best graphics and animation, best voice and audio quality
SNES: best extra content, throw enemies at screen anytime, longest version
Genesis: run button makes gameplay so much better, faster gameplay, best challenge, more animation frames than SNES
Re-Shelled: 4 players, 3D graphics, didn't even come with a Pizza Hut coupon...
I have no idea how hard it would be to "mod" the perfect Turtles in Time game together...
The graphics, audio quality, and animation of the Arcade, the gameplay improvements of the Genesis, all the extra stages from both versions, the ability to select which soundtrack you prefer, all with 4 player co-op...
Just the thought....

You see, that takes a company that cares about its fans. And right now TMNT is not Pro Evo Soccer, Metal Gear or a Pachinko machine so we have a higher probability of getting a Chrono Trigger sequel or a Metroid game developed by Naughty Dog than we have a TMNT anything from Konami nowadays.The SNES game is incredible but I do prefer the music of the arcade game.
The XBLA / PSN remake legitimately made me angry with Ubisoft. We're probably never going to get a proper re-release of the game now because of that trash.
My dream compilation contains every single TMNT game from Konami on one disc. I'd be in heaven.

Konami's arcade beat'em ups are horrifically balanced, designed to rob you of your quarters. SNES version is better indeed.
I just spent an hour playing the arcade version. There are concessions and compromises to make the controls more accessible in the super nintendo version. It's true the animations are simplified and some moves are even removed. It's also true that the AI is much more dynamic and interesting in the arcade release. I mean, you don't have to trust my opinion. Yeah, the snes version has the technodrome level but....it's not even that great. Yeah, they added some stuff to bring it in line with the second turtles film, tokka and razar as well as super shredder. believe me, if it were a nostalgia thing I'd be saying the snes version is better. I played the hell out of it as a kid. The Arcade version is a much better fidelity and the snes version definitely feels watered down. It's also far, far more challenging. take that as you will but I think it's fair to say someone who speedruns both games probably knows what he's talking about.
Did anyone feel that hyperstone's heist felt heavier and meatier? I felt like SNES Turtles in Time felt very loose and light.

The into-the-screen throw is the greatest use of mode 7 ever.
SIDE question:
was the arcade version of Turtles in Time beatable with one coin??
I remember trying for 1 or 2 years but never got past the crocodile boss in a train.
The game would get exponetially harder throwing more enemies at you as you continued advancing in the game.
I had like 4 levels to finish but never got anywhere near.

Snes version felt so much better because of the hit stun on enemies and the sound it made. I believe in the arcade version when you hit enemies it made no sound.

Where do we rank Project Manhattan? To me that was just behind Turtles in Time.

I'll tell you which was the worst version. That crappy HD remake from Ubisoft or whoever it was.
HH has only half the levels, but it has the superior gameplay/button layout, making every version out there imperfect. Which sucks.Now watch the Hyperstone Heist weirdos come scurrying out of the woodwork.

Dang it all. You all have me wishing we could get a Konami Turtle collection. It's the most impossible of dreams.

Only arcade game/fighter I was able to beat on one coin around that time was Mortal Kombat II, using Baraka and his cheap scissor move on the CPU.
All other fighters or arcade games were "cheap" on the higher difficulty levels, and most arcade owners did not know how to balance the machines to keep gamers hooked, they just ramped it up to max difficulty, lol. So it became a quarter pump fest only when 4 people were playing and crowded them.
Now watch the Hyperstone Heist weirdos come scurrying out of the woodwork.
This is absolutely true. Konami games back then were really amazing.All the Konami Arcade and NES/SNES/Genesis games were a cut above.
