Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Grew Up… a born tinkerer. Once Donatello mutated into a talking turtle, he soon developed a taste for building things. All of the nice furniture and the electrical system that helps make their sewer feel like a home was designed by Donatello – and much of it was made from the dirty trash he found down there in the first place.
Living… in a New York City sewer, with his three teenage mutant ninja brothers (Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael) and their master, Splinter the rat—a mutant rat no less. Donatello is the brains of the crew, even though he’s not as wise as master Splinter. Donatello can also get down and party as hard as the rest, except for maybe Michelangelo.
Profession... fighting crime. Using the skills they’ve learned from Splinter, Donatello and his brothers climb out of the sewer at night to battle criminals. The Big Apple isn’t safe these days, but its citizens would be far worse off without the turtles.
Interests… computers, bickering, and bo staffs. Donatello might come off as a tad nerdy, but don’t let his geekiness fool you. He’s a trained ninja and a skilled fighter with his hard wooden staff, or “bo.”
Relationship Status… single. His interest in the opposite sex might not be as strong as other members of the teenage persuasion, but he definitely recognizes the differences of the two sexes, as seen in the solicitous way he treats TV reporter April O’Neil.
Challenge… fixing things up in the sewer faster than his brothers can break them. Michelangelo – the resident party turtle – certainly gives Donatello a run for his money in this regard. Donatello might be extremely handy when it comes to re-assembling broken objects, but Michelangelo is at least equally handy at destroying them.
Personality… tech-y and level-headed. Donatello is far from the most wild ninja turtle, but he’s also no party-pooper. When fun is going down, he’ll join in. When pizza’s in the fridge, he’ll eat it. And when he sees something adorable, he’ll let it be known by calling out, “It’s a Kodak moment.”
Get to Know him in...

The player chooses from one of the four Ninja Turtles: Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael. 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. Up to four players (two in some versions) can take control of any of the Turtles. 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. The eight-way joystick controls the movements of the Turtle, the jump button makes them jump and the attack button makes them hit in front of them using their weapon. The Turtles can throw Foot soldiers overhead, and by pressing the jump and attack buttons, a special attack is performed. Raphael rolls along the ground and finishes with a kick, while the other Turtles do a sweeping jump attack with their weapons. Turtles can also spring off the wall in certain areas. Enemies can be defeated more quickly by slamming them into walls or solid objects. Many objects such as traffic cones, parking meters, fire hydrants and exploding oil drums can be hit or damaged with attacks in order to help defeat nearby enemies. In the attract mode, the game showed the first part of the cartoon opening, along with a portion of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song.
