Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Double Pack
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Double Pack is a Konami compilation cartridge for the Game Boy Advance that puts two earlier games together: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from 2003 and its 2004 follow-up, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus. Both are based on the 2003 animated series. When the cartridge starts you pick which game to play, and each one keeps its own stages, story and turtle-specific abilities.
Controls
What the TMNT Double Pack is
The first game on the cartridge, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, came out in 2003 and mixes beat 'em up fighting with platforming. You choose one turtle and play through a set of acts, and each brother has his own way of getting around. Leonardo can crawl through tight spaces, Michelangelo can wall jump, Donatello climbs pipes and Raphael scales walls with his sai. Each turtle also gets a vehicle stage, such as Donatello's hang glider shooting section and a motorcycle race for Raphael.
Battle Nexus, the second game, followed in 2004 with a new plot in which the turtles are sent to a strange alien world after dangerous space and time technology falls into the wrong hands. It keeps the side-view fighting but changes the look and structure. Konami later reissued both games on this single cartridge, which is why the menu lets you choose between them.
How it plays in your browser
This page runs the Double Pack in a Game Boy Advance emulator, so you get both games without installing anything. Pick a title from the opening menu and the game loads as it would on the original hardware.
Both games use the D-pad for movement with separate buttons for attacking and jumping, so they are easy to handle on a keyboard. Because every turtle has a different movement skill in the first game, it is worth trying each one, since each one moves through the stages in a different way.
Arrow keys move and Z and X are the main attack and jump buttons; press Enter on the menu to choose a game.
Tips worth knowing
- In the first game, play each turtle's route at least once. Their stages and movement skills are different, so it is not the same game four times.
- Use Michelangelo's wall jump and Raphael's wall climb to reach higher ledges that other turtles cannot get to.
- Vehicle stages like the hang glider and motorcycle race reward memorising the layout, so expect a practice run or two.
- If one game gets too hard, return to the menu and try the other. They are separate adventures with separate progress.
