The story of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare takes place after the events of the second film. The Turtles are being pursued by the villainous Shredder, who seeks to exploit their magical powers for his own gain. As they try to evade capture, they must also confront a mysterious entity known as the "Turtle King," who holds the key to their salvation.
The gameplay of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare is fast-paced and action-packed, with an emphasis on combat and exploration. Players control one of the four Turtle brothers - Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, or Raphael - as they navigate through various levels set in New York City and other locations.
The game features a range of melee weapons, including swords, nunchucks, and sai, which can be used to defeat enemies. The Turtles also have a variety of special moves, such as Leonardo's "Turtle Power" ability, which allows him to perform powerful attacks.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an action-adventure game where players guide the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles through various locations, including New York City and a space base, battling enemies and completing missions. Players progress through a linear story, upgrading their Turtles' abilities and customizing their skills to overcome challenges.
Story
STORY MODE
This is where the journey begins. Prepare for an adventure that will take you through the streets of New York City, out to a space borne Triceraton base, and even into another dimension. Raging epic battles and skill-based mini-games will test the Turtles every step of the way.
There are three Episodes and more than 60 Missions. You begin with Episode 1, Mission 1 and the others become available as you defeat enemies and progress.
Episode and Mission Selection
The path toward victory is littered with danger and destruction. Only a clear vision of your ultimate goal will ensure success. This screen is where you track your progress toward this success.
Episodes and Missions must be played in sequential order. Once you complete a Mission, the next one becomes available.
To select an Episode and Mission:
•
Press the directional buttons up/down to highlight an Episode, and then press the button.
•
Press the directional buttons up/down to highlight a Mission, and then press the button to proceed to the Mission's start screen.
After clearing a Mission, you can replay that Mission at any time. Complete specific Missions to open the Challenge Mode. Complete Episode 1 to open Arcade Mode.
Menu
This menu is accessed from within a Story Mode by pressing the button during Episode and Mission selection or the Free Battle select screen. The options are:
•
Upgrade Turtles The initial settings screen shows each Turtle's Health, Attack, Shuriken, Slots, and Ninja Scrolls status. This is also where you acquire Combos and Skills and equip Ninja Scrolls.
•
Character Select Here's your chance to change the character you control. Players can join or quit a game using this screen.

Options This is the same Options menu that you can access from the Title screen.
•
Save Select this to manually save your current game. Game data is saved either manually or automatically as you play the game. This option can be adjusted in the Options screen.
•

•
Number of Crystals Shows the number of crystals that have been collected. The total is actually shared among all the Turtles.
•
HP Shows the amount of life remaining for your Turtle. This can always be improved by discovering the right power-up.
•
Attack Shows the attack rating of your Turtle. This is adjusted by equipping Ninja Scrolls.
•
Shuriken Shows how many Shuriken your Turtle holds.
•
Slots Each Turtle begins with one slot to hold Ninja Scrolls. Additional slots can be acquired so a Turtle can hold additional scrolls.
•
Ninja Scrolls These are found in secret spots throughout the Missions and they can be equipped here for special power-ups.

You can load your saved games from the same card, or from any memory card containing previously saved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles® 3: Mutant Nightmare™ games. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles® 3: Mutant Nightmare™ uses at least 42 KB of memory card data to save each game.
Make sure there is enough free space on your memory card before starting play. Do not insert or remove a memory card while saving or loading games or after the power has been turned ON.

The Main Menu is the first screen you see after you press the START button from the title screen. From here you have six options:

•
Movie Viewer - DVD movies can be found in hiding places while on certain missions. Go to the Movie Viewer to watch them.
•
Options - Change the game settings.
SELECT A TURTLE
All of the Turtles get in on the action even in a single player game, but you control just one. The others are CPU-controlled. If more than one controller is attached to the system, then a Turtle must be selected for each controller.
Each Turtle is uniquely equipped with different skills, combos, and, of course, his own specialty weapon, so consider your choice wisely. The Turtle Selection screen appears during setup in Story and Challenge Mode.
You can also call it up by pressing the R1 button during Episode/Mission selection in Story Mode, and then selecting CHARACTER SELECT from the menu.
To select your Turtle:
1. Press the START button to select the Turtle that you will control.
2. Press the directional buttons to highlight a Turtle. Its HP and AT values are displayed.
3. Press the X button to confirm your selection.
4. Press the START button to proceed to the Episode/Mission Selection screen.
*Note: HP is Health Point. This represents the life of your Turtle, so the higher this number, the more life your Turtle has. AT is the Turtles' Attack rating. The higher this is, the more damage that is rendered with a single hit.*
Acquire Combos
Add new Combo skills to your Turtle's already immense talents. You need to collect enough Crystals during a Mission and Free Battle in Story Mode in order to make an acquisition. The number of Combos that can be acquired increases as you progress through the Missions.
*Note: Even if you have the required number of crystals, you may not yet have completed the required Mission in order to acquire a certain Combo.*
Press the directional buttons to highlight an Attack icon. The description and cost of each one is displayed. If you cannot afford a specific Combo, or if it doesn't become available until later in the game, then it appears ghosted.
Press the button to make an acquisition. The cost is deducted from your total. The position of an icon, and what other icons appear to the left of it, tell you how to summon that attack in battle. Strong and Weak Attack icons correspond to the Strong ( button) and Weak ( button) attack commands.
For example, Leonardo has a Spin Slash A attack whose icon appears in the Combo A top row.
