After beating the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the NES I decided to tackle its sequel, which I also owned as a kid. This is the Ninja Turtles game everyone had been waiting for, with 2-player co-op action just like in the arcade, and it was awesome.
Sadly, in this specific playthrough I took a lot of avoidable hits and died a few times unnecessarily. Pretty much all my previous playthroughs were better, making it to the end bosses either without dying or dying at most once. This time around it was late and I was tired and frustrated from failing three previous attempts. It was my last attempt of the night and I didn't expect to win but somehow beat both Krang and Shredder.
