* EarlyGameHell: Michelangelo is the only available Turtle at the start, and you have a little amount of health. As soon as you move on to rescue Leonardo, you encounter many enemies and obstacles that require proper timing to attack and dodge. And of course, Scratch is a rather difficult boss to deal with in such a state.

Unlike the [[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesFallOfTheFootClan prior]] [[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIIBackFromTheSewers titles]] for the Game Boy, ''Radical Rescue'' changes the formula in favor of open-world structure. Michelangelo isn't the only playable character, however. Over the course of the adventure, the player can find the rest of the Turtles: each brother has own special ability required to progress.
