Play Tmnt (u)(rising Sun) Online

TMNT, released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003 by Konami, arrived when the handheld was a hub for solid action games. It was part of that wave of licensed titles that tried to capture the spirit of the then-current animated series, offering a portable fix for turtle power without the graphical ambition of its console cousins.

You control one of the four turtles, switching between them on the fly to use their specific weapons and special moves. The main goal is to fight through stages, beating up Foot Clan ninjas and other mutants, to stop the Shredder's latest scheme. The gameplay is built on screen by screen exploration, where you clear an area of enemies before moving forward, and simple environmental puzzles that sometimes require a specific turtle's ability. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty can spike with some tricky platforming sections and boss fights. It feels like a straightforward, energetic brawler that captures the simple fun of being a ninja turtle.
