------------------------------------------------------------------------ D E F J A M - G E N E S I S - A N G E L S P R E S E N T S DOC TO TEENAGE MUTANT HERO TURTLES ------------------------------------ WRITTEN BY : MR.THOMPSON / DEFJAM ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PREPARE TO SHELL OUT SOME PUNISHMENT ------------------------------------ Only hours ago, April O'Neil, was kidnapped from her mobile news van by the vile, ruthless, terrorist bully SHREDDER! He's a Slice-O-Matic crum, a villain more vicious than an army of mind-altered Bruce Lees. The fearless foursome must concoct a way to rescue April before Shredder brainwashes her into joining his Ninjitsu Foot Clan. They'll combine this treacherous task with the mission they've been on since their mutated beginnings - to thrash Shredder and capture his Life Transformer Gun, the lone piece of technology that can turn their rat friend, Splinter, back into the man he used to be. HOW TO PLAY ----------- Your initial goal is to rescue the fair maiden, April, but your ultimate objective is to battle through the streets and sewers of New York until you score a victory at the TECHNODROME, home of the evil Shredder and his Life Transformer Gun. Once a turtle is captured, he is out of action until you find and rescue him. (Prisoners could be anywhere. To release them, simply touch their hand.) At the end of each level (except Level 2) you'll unfortunately find a Karate Boss who is anxiously waiting to turn you into turtle soup. A FINAL SLICE OF ADVICE : Keep an eye out for weapons, ropes and life-sustaining pizza pies as you go.

Remember: these Samurali sidekicks are only as gifted in the ancient art of warfare as you. LEONARDO -------- Leonardo's primary weapon is the hairsplitting Katana Blade. He's most effective when attacking sewer enemies, especially ones that lurk. RAPHAEL ------- The needle-tipped Sai is Raphael's preferred attack tool. The speed and grace of his strikes are what he prides himself on. MICHAELANGELO ------------- Compared to his comrades, Michaelangelo's power is only average. However, enemies around his feet usually fall prey to his Nunchukus onslaught. His courage will aslo amaze you. DONATELLO --------- The dreaded Bo (not to be confused with everyone's favourite Halfback/ Left Fielder) is Donatello's form of amusement.
