Hack description

This is primarily a graphics hack of the classic TMNT game for the NES.

Most of the attract screens and cutscenes have been redrawn using imagery from the 1989 arcade game.

The ending has been completely redrawn using images of characters found in the first few episodes of the cartoon.

Custom sprites were created for April, Splinter, Bebop, Rocksteady, Foot Soldiers (over world and in levels), Mousers, and the Party Wagon.

The patch also corrects errors left in the original game, to include:

- Fixing Rocksteady's run cycle.
- Fixing Raphael's over world sai.
- Correcting misplaced background tiles in some levels.
- Editing Splinter and the Captured Turtle sprites so they no longer flicker

It also

Adds back in the stage select from the prototype. (press and hold A when pressing Start).

Edits some levels to make some of the more notorious jumps a bit less annoying.

and, thanks to Displaced Gamers, makes the swimming level a bit less annoying by editing the turtle's hit boxes and allowing them to swim downward, making the level much easier to navigate.

Adds more than a fresh coat of paint	Old_gamer	2023-09-25	Version 1.0
After reading the description, I had to try and right away on the intro, I see a different, much improved artwork. Then activate the menu and see a sick look of Master Splinter and childhood crush April O'Neil and new turtle portraits. Then there some new enemy sprites. The humanoid enemies are now foot soldiers and the little bugs are now the mousers too. New sprites for Bebop and Rocksteady are nice. Party wagon looks better and an updated cut scene too. The water level is easier to navigate as well. While I noticed a few bad jumps were gone, some are still present. Even the health bar is new. The turtles are still the same strengths though with the same look. But overall, I like the changes. This is really easy on the eyes.
