This is just one really long level. Shredder is at the end, but on the way you will face the toughest enemies yet.

The first pink section introduces the new enemies in the game. A wall turret that swivels up down and around in one spot to fire at you. Once they go down, they stay down. A security drone that behaves much like the giant mosquitoes in previous levels. They have slightly more energy then the mosquitoes so Ralph can't beat them in one hit, use subweapons or Don to kill them. A large robot animal creature of some kind that hops around and swings his tail at you. Tough to beat even for Don, avoid them if you can or switch to a B List turtle to get past them and finally the creme de la crap, the most obnoxious enemy in the whole game (saying something since it only appears in this stage), The Laser Trooper. He hovers around in up, down, left and right moves and even diagonal at times shooting at you. AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS, ONLY FIGHT IF YOU HAVE TO!! Slip by them by ducking or making careful jumps. If you know one is coming up, make a big jump to try and throw off it's trajectory in trying to follow you. As soon as it stops moving ALWAYS make a break for it, if you dawdle, it will follow you and you may have to fight it then.

The pink section has only one real deviation. From the start (By the way, no map screen, it's all platforms and your radar is uselss.) Move to the right you will have a wall turret and either foot soldiers, the boomerang punks and MAYBE a laser trooper on you. Fight off or avoid (I recommend avoid if possible) the enemies and move down the ladder to wear security drones will acost you. Beat them and prepare for a big jump up to throw off the laser trooper since there is usually at least one here. Get to the ladder and move down. NOW get Donny out and this room is a breeze as there are security drones aplenty (one hit from Don) a whole Pizza in the corner (Most deinetely grab for a turtle) and one wall turret (Use Don to hit from above) There is a ladder leading up and a ladder on the lower section leading down. You want the one leading up UNLESS you are missing a turtle, the lower path takes you to his captive spot. ONLY GO AFTER THE TURTLE IF ITS DON!! Getting to that turtle is NOT FUN! More on that later*

Going up the ladder, pause to let the Drone go by, switch to a turtle with Kiai and move slowly and shoot at the robot animal creature, you should kill it in two shots. Jump up move to the left defeating any drones and make a break for the doorway. This leads to the white section. A boomerang punk should be to your immediate left avoid him and go down the shaft, you cannot go back after you do, so if you didn't have a turtle to rescue (or decided against it) keep going on. **

• Ah yes, the captured turtle path. Move down the ladder and you will see wonderful SPIKED FLOORS with little platforms. The robot animal creatures are underneath. Switch to a turtle with the most health and try your best to make it on to the little platforms. You will likely have to take damage and make it down one of those little shafts that you can walk across (thanks game) drop down to fine more animals and MORE SPIKES. No platforms at all this time! Make two big jumps going left and you should be past the animals and near a ladder with a drone next to it. Kill it (one shot with Leo or Mike if you picked them, your health should be low so they hit harder) and go down the ladder and proceed to the right through passages (one drone meets you and is sometimes purple colored on your trip back, don't know why) and find your turtle. Go back up the ladder the way you came and go left, you may have a laser trooper. Go into the door and you'll wind up halfway through the white area. I REALLY don't recommended saving your turtle here since you miss another whole Pizza, a half Pizza (under heavy guard) and scrolls going the other way.

• • Back here again destroy the turrets you see and any mosquitoes and boomerang thugs. Donny makes hitting a distant turret less of a pain but subweapons can do it too, jump across both holes destroying the turrets and you can get to some scrolls. Drop down one of the wholes and continue to the right. Use Kiai to fight the animal and even the turret if you want (or use Don) and drop down again, aim left. Another turret and some drones jump the hole and go down the ladder to pick up the whole pizza, to the right past the whole is usually at least 2 animals and laser troopers and another turret guarding...a half pizza. Careful if you go for it.

Dropping down the hole by the ladder brings us to where the lower path would meet. Another animal might be in your way, kill it with kiai or Don and drop down the NEXT hole. Drones and some Laser Troops in this room. Use the jump techniques I described above (remember above where I described a B-List turtle, thats any turtle that isn't Don he is the man in this game, any time you should be switching to a B lister to get out of a jam,it should be the same one each time. Don and one other turtle to be getting you to his point, making it very important to conserve your turtles health in this level and being as healthy as you can going into it from level 5) past the turret at the end of this floor is the third of three Mr Invincibilities, the one that you can really benefit from. Get it and go down the hole and make a run for the left of the room. You are now in the Yellow section and boy oh boy, you'll have fun here.

This is the most linear part of the game. It's also the most brutal. It's nothing but drones and Laser Troopers. Advance forward to the right into an ever decreasing hallway where the ceiling gets lower as you go making room to manuver tough. Laser troopers come 2 at a time and you can't always dodge them. Use any of the two other turtles, hopefully having scrolls to get through this and don't be surprised if BOTH are on their last legs by the time you get to the narrowest part of the hall. There is one laser trooper you must defeat before you advance and once you do, switch back to Don or another turtle with subweapons. Every few feet here is a trooper, and then a drone, move forward duck the laser troopers shot (DO NOT BOTHER WITH ATTACKING HIM) and he should move offscreen and then move forward and kill the drone and repeat this process until your out of the hall. Go up the ladder and kill the laser trooper subboss and continue going left. See that door with the DANGER sign? This is Shredder's chamber. After entering, get to the platform to your right. Shredder will teleport inside. Use Donatello, hit Shredder when he starts to move, it should knock him back. Use your Kiais here to kill Shredder or use don if your brave. Stay on the right side of the room alternating between the floor and the platform to attack Shredder and he CAN jump through hose platforms from below so be careful. Shredder has two methods of attack, direct contact by running into him or by him punching you FOUR BLOCKS of health OR an instakill by his Life Transformer Gun which demuates you. So, two hits or one can kill a turtle. Shredder isn't too tough but definetely play the distance game with subweapons or again, use Don if your brave as his Bo will knock Shredder away from you.
