How it plays
The game uses a side-scrolling perspective across a sequence of combat stages. Players move horizontally and vertically within each area, defeat waves of Foot Clan enemies, collect power-ups, and fight bosses at the end of stages.
One or two players can choose among the four Turtles. Each Turtle has different reach, speed, and attack characteristics. Players progress through a fixed campaign, using normal attacks, jump attacks, throws, and special moves to manage crowds and exploit enemy openings.
Plan your run
Use the edge of each Turtle's attack range to defeat ordinary Foot soldiers before they surround you.
Save special attacks for dense groups or dangerous enemies, and use throws when an opponent is close. In two-player games, coordinate attacks on opposite sides of the screen and avoid striking each other when enemies are stunned.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist is a side-scrolling beat 'em up developed and published by Konami for the Sega Genesis in 1992. Players control Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, or Raphael as they battle through New York and other locations after Shredder uses the Hyperstone to shrink the city. The game supports solo and cooperative play, combining standard attacks, jumps, throws, and character-specific strengths. It draws on ideas from Konami's earlier arcade and console Turtles games while using Genesis-exclusive stage layouts and presentation. Reviews generally praised its responsive combat, colorful graphics, and two-player action, though its shorter campaign was sometimes noted.
