The timeattack, mazzeneko did were also at hardest level and he got the best ending! Worth to notice ;> Ithought it was pretty good, but it can surely be done faster..

Yeah, all that slamming back and forth is probably more time consuming than it needs to be. Also kind of repetitive. I don't envy the job of having to resave on every wave of enemies just to make sure you took them out fast enough.

Maybe it's your FINAL version but not the last. ;) It is improvable.

Has anyone tried two player on hard difficulty? It wouldn't be a fun one to watch so I guess that goes against this site, but I know with a friend I can beat Turtles in Time on the hardest diff in just under 18 minutes. This is on the real console.

I prefer playing the game to watching it being played. I had previously Netplayed all the way through the game twice, so I kind of burned out on it. However, would be nice to see a 2 player hard mode no damage run. It would go faster, because you could be taking down twice or even three times as many people.

A 2 player game is always better.

Men and one of my friends also made it at the hard level, but we didn't try to beat some record, just played for fun ^^

I have done some testing at this game and the only way to do the timeattack faster is to try to till the enemies faster. which Mazzeneko does pretty well, but it could be even better. Eg. He miss sometimes and so on in the first lvl.

And he uses Donatello also, i think Raphael is the fastest? But maybe it doesnt matter couse the screen stops when there are enemies at the screen.. Or could it?

Don has the best special I think and the longest weapon. I never liked Raph because of his range.
This signature is much better than its previous version.

But I don't think it matters, isnt it worth to try a run with raph?

I watched my previous run the other day and what the heck, it looked like crap so I tried another run of this. I got a time of 23:08. It looks more fun and refined. I also get bonuses from Bonus Stages. Bosses are beaten as fast as they can possibly be (this is true, I tried SEVERAL times). The only problem about this game is the randomness of enemies how they walk around the stages. It's just frustrating to get em into one place or certain places to make good enough throws/other stuff. I also found out to get the stage scrolling you just need to kill certain enemies and not all of em. For example in stage 4 (Technodrome) you only have to get all the mousers killed to get the stage scrolling forward. Which is nice. And everytime I hit an enemy once or twice only is to stop him a while. There's no "mis-hits" in those.. I do some airswings on accident tho >.< it looks awful. Oh well, I'm not sure if I should publish this because it is possible to get a better time if you are damn lucky. I tried couple more times after this and got worse times. The enemies appear at random sometimes or are left lingering about. I'm waiting for someone to do a perfect run of this game (if it's possible, cause of the damn movements of the enemies) or perhaps I just should publish this for reference to other time attackers? I don't have a place to upload this personally so I cannot show this otherwise. Other stuff I found out: Other guys except Don is slower. Donatello has the best Special of the bunch. Bosses are slower too. you need longer weapon to hit baxter and some other bosses.

What was your previous time? And Except those misses you had in that version I liked it! Turtles is a great game. I remember your run like ~25 minutes maybe. That would your new run 2 minutes faster which IS pretty much. I would say either go for it or redo it again. I know it ain't funny the 4711 time you have to redo stuffs but that happens though =/

Just submit it and I will publish it. It's a 22 seconds improvement which is cool.

Tough luck... I must say, I don't necessarily support the decision. Maybe if it was a matter of seconds it would be possible that the rom version would make that difference, but in this instance there was quite a change. Did the movie not work with the original rom? edit: Additionally, it wasn't in the rules that this was necessary, and this is really the first time a movie has ever had to be published for this reason. Because of that, I think this should still be accepted.

The rom used in this video is an overdump rom wich isn't allowed. And it was a different version than what used in the publsihed movie. 2 rules broken. Blechy: Those rules already exist before I start making timeattacks. So a couple months ago. The movie is desyncing. If the movie would have been working well using the existing rom, sure it will be published, but it's not the case.

Fair enough, the overdump rule was there- I just saw that the different versions of roms rule was added after seeing the movie, and reacted to that. But since the overdump rule was already there, it could have indeed been avoided.
