In the attract mode, the game shows the first part of the cartoon opening, along with a portion of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song.

Enemies can be defeated more quickly by slamming them into walls or solid objects. The Turtles can also spring off the wall in certain areas. The Turtles can also perform special moves, including throwing Foot soldiers overhead and performing a special attack by pressing the jump and attack buttons Raphael rolls along the ground and finishes with a kick, while the other Turtles do a sweeping jump attack with their weapons. The C-Stick controls the movements of the Turtle, the A or B button in the XBox 1 and Switch versions (X in the Playstation version) button makes them jump and the X or Y Button in the XBox 1 and Switch Versions (Square in the PlayStation version) makes them hit in front of them using their weapon. Donatello has slower attacks but a longer range, Michelangelo and Raphael have faster attacks but a shorter range, and Leonardo is a well-rounded Turtle with average range and speed. Up to four players can take control of any of the Turtles. After Shredder kidnaps the Turtles' friend April O'Neil and their mentor Splinter, they must give chase, save their comrades, and defeat the evil Shredder. Whatever Turtle isn't chosen becomes CPU. The player chooses from one of the four Ninja Turtles: Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael.
