"From the very first seconds"
Four turtles, streets crawling with Foot Clan, and a flood of crunching hits: that's the recipe for an arcade-bred brawler. In two-player co-op the chemistry turns electric, every combo lands sweetly and the bosses beg for a beating. You return for the nervy rhythm, for the plain joy of clearing the screen together. The punch still feels glorious today.

Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles - The Hyperstone Heist (Mega Drive) price, value & rarity
Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles The Hyperstone Heist PAL is the European edition of Konami's game with PAL-specific nomenclature (Hero Turtles instead of Ninja Turtles due to UK classification constraints).
Better with friends
A beat'em up where two fighting turtles barrel through levels with shell-cracking blows, in co-op as effective as it is funny. Mutual aid shapes the adventure: taking turns against enemy waves and sharing pickups makes progress much smoother two-player. Colorful and faithful to its license, it chains fights with gusto and makes shared sessions a nostalgic pleasure to restart.
Is Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles - The Hyperstone Heist still worth playing in 2026?
A Mega Drive adaptation of the famous Ninja Turtles beat'em up by Konami, The Hyperstone Heist offers a brief but intense adventure where the four turtles face Shredder and the Foot Clan. The series faithful cartoon art direction, two player cooperative mode and precise handling make it an excellent Konami adaptation. Shorter than Turtles in Time SNES, the title nonetheless keeps undeniable quality. For anyone fond of Ninja Turtles or classic beat'em ups, a warm recommendation still valid truly here indeed.
