This TMNT Beats of Rage mod from GaBoTiCo is both a recoloring of TMNT 2: The Arcade Game for the NES and a complete reimagining of the game with additional levels, moves, enemies, and more surprises! GaBoTiCo took a long time doing the recoloring and revised version to fulfill his dream and it shows from the high quality of this mod! The recoloring his the Turtles different shades of green, new moves and special attacks from later games like TMNT 3, Turtles in Time and even Tournament Fighters were added to the team’s move list to assist in the fight against the Foot Clan! Splinter, April and Casey Jones are playable characters once they are unlocked and you even have levels based on episodes of the 1987 cartoon and more! The Recoloring base game is that of the NES Arcade game, while Extended builds on the Arcade Game with a lot more!

From GaBoTiCo:
​This is and old school Beat’em up based on the Ninja Turtles. I’m not gonna lie, I borrowed some ideas from TMNT: Rescue Palooza. This project started as a remake of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Arcade Game for the NES but then I added more playable characters, new levels and cutscenes based on the 1987 Animated Series. I also added moves from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: The Manhattan Project for the NES, TMNT4: Turtles in Time and some “hadoken-like” moves from the SNES version of TMNT: Tournament Fighters. I recolored ALL the sprites adding “some” shading and a black outline so that the visuals resemble the cartoon. I actually finished this game back in Dec 2020, way before I opened my account on Game Jolt.
