How it plays
The game uses a side-view perspective with horizontally scrolling stages. Players defeat waves of Foot Clan soldiers, avoid hazards, collect items, and defeat a boss at the end of each level.
Single-player and two-player cooperative modes are available. Players can walk, jump, attack, use character-specific special moves, and pick up weapons or power-ups. Progression is stage-based, with the route leading through several environments before the final confrontation with Shredder.
Plan your run
Use attacks with the longest safe range whenever possible, and avoid standing between multiple enemies. Save special attacks for crowded encounters or bosses.
In two-player mode, spread out enough to control both sides of the screen, but regroup before enemies surround either turtle. Learn boss patterns instead of trading damage repeatedly.

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, Michelangelo, Donatello, or Raphael as they battle through New York and other locations to stop Shredder from using the Hyperstone. The game supports single-player and two-player cooperative play, with each turtle offering different attack range and speed characteristics. It adapts ideas from Konami's arcade and console Turtle games while adding Genesis-exclusive stages and bosses. Contemporary reception generally praised its responsive combat and colorful presentation, though some critics found it shorter than comparable beat 'em ups.
