TMNT II: Back from the Sewers is the second of three TMNT games released on the original Game Boy, In this game, you control all four turtles through six levels (or acts, as the game calls them). You choose a turtle before starting an act, and like the first TMNT NES game, each one has their own life bar, which when depleted, results in said turtle getting captured, requiring to choose another turtle to continue. Each turtle has their own weapon, but controls the same, with B being attack and A being jump (with the ability to reverse the two button functions in the Options Menu). Also, the Turtles can do a jump kick, and the throwing star from Fall Of The Foot Clan has been removed, and instead, the ducking attack is swiping your weapon, with an additional slide attack being added and performed by pressing B and A while moving.

However, while the game is okay, it does have flaws. Your characters moves at the speed of a turtle, which is not good in some parts of levels, especially the ones where they have elements spawning enemies like Mousers or those little flying robots. Also, the game offers two bonus stages. One is a normal bonus stage where you collect pizza for bonus points and to restore the health of the turtle used to clear the stage, but if at least one turtle is captured, you go to a Rescue Game instead, where you face Rex-1, the robot policeman who appeared in that one episode of the cartoon, and must defeat him within a time limit for the right to free one of the captured Turtles (with damage taken from Rex-1 removing time).

While it is challenging, thankfully, the game's options menu allows you to change the game's difficulty, which affects boss patterns and even enemy spawn rates. It is a good game, despite it flaws, and is worth checking out.

The superhero subgenre features costumed crime fighters with extraordinary abilities or powers who use them to fight against villains and protect the innocent. They often combine high-energy action sequences with themes of heroism, morality, and the struggle between good and evil.

The action genre features fast-paced, thrilling, and intense sequences of physical feats, combat, and excitement. The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

The adventure genre features exciting journeys, quests, or expeditions undertaken by characters who often face challenges, obstacles, and risks in pursuit of a goal. Adventures can take place in a wide range of settings, from exotic and fantastical locations to historical or even everyday environments.

The fantasy genre features imaginative and often magical worlds, characters, and events. It explores realms beyond the boundaries of reality, featuring elements such as magic, mythical creatures, supernatural powers, and fantastical settings. These stories can take place in entirely fictional worlds or blend fantastical elements with real-world settings.

The sci-fi genre, short for science fiction, features imaginative and futuristic concepts that are often rooted in scientific principles, technology, and possibilities. These stories delve into "what if" questions and can serve as a platform to address contemporary social, political, and ethical issues by projecting them onto future or alternate settings.
