Pretty bare-bones Turtles fighter. Small roster, sloppy combat, thin modes. Fine for a few rounds with fans but well below Power Stone or Smash Bros.

Is TMNT - Mutant Melee still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 2005, this Konami arena fighting game diverts the Turtles license into clashes for up to four in destructible settings. The handling rests on simple combos, picked up items and high mobility, in a spirit of festive melee rather than technical versus. The art direction faithful to the animated series works well. The depth stays limited and the fights quickly get messy, yet fans of multiplayer brawling and of the Turtles find a convivial outlet for short sessions.
