Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Grew Up… forming a close bond with his brainy brother Donatello. Maybe the reason for their close connection is their almost polar-opposite personalities. Even from a young age, Michelangelo was interested in partying it up, while Donatello sank deeper into his computer. Michelangelo’s first word, legend has it, was “pizza!”
Living… in a sewer with his three brothers – Donatello, Leonardo and Raphael – and their (mutated) rat ninja master, Splinter.
Profession... an above-ground crime-fighter by night, and a pizza-eating, sewer-dwelling mutant ninja turtle by day. Because of his mutated appearance, going outside on the streets of New York in broad daylight isn’t the best idea—except in terms of shock value. Michelangelo would rather shock his brothers with a childish prank, or a surprise pizza delivery.
Interests… pizza. Really, he loves nothing more than pizza. And even though Michelangelo probably spends more time training to be a ninja than he does eating pizza, his nunchucks will always come second to his beloved crust-sauce-and-cheese concoction…no matter how skilled he becomes with them.
Relationship Status… single. Michelangelo shows more attraction to the opposite sex than any of his brothers. For instance, when he sees TV reporter April O’Neil, he exclaims, “She’s a babe!”
Challenge… saving New York City from the evil Shredder while partying down as much as he can. You could say Michelangelo lives something of a double life. As a teenager, there are often more important things on his mind than helping out the less fortunate.
Personality… wacky and spirited. He never seems to get tired – no matter how much pizza he eats, or how many evil “Foot Soldiers” (members of a feared criminal gang) he knocks out. Michelangelo’s catchphrase, shared with some of his brothers, is “Cowabunga!” His other favorite catchphrase is, “I love being a turtle!” And he truly does.
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.
