This is a demonstration using "Clone Raph" in the SNES version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters. Read on below for more information...

"Clone Raph" is a "character" who appears only in Story Battle mode as a mirror match CPU opponent for Donatello. He is a non-selectable character.

===== ABOUT THE CLONES =====

In the game's coding, there is a flag/state which embeds itself into the Turtle characters. It is usually only used on a CPU-controlled Turtle character for the "mirror match" in Story Battle mode. Therefore, this means that they are not separate characters.

When the flag/state is on/applied, it implements the following features to the character:

1) Applies a unique "purple" colour palette
2) Applies a unique colour palette to any projectiles
3) Sets a unique lifebar image icon

The character's gameplay/voices/endings/etc. however are identical to the regular Turtles.

===== OTHER INFORMATION =====

---- Clone Raph's Jamboree projectile is coloured green, and his Energy Spray projectiles are coloured green. Normal Raph's Jamboree is yellow, and his Energy Sprays are orange.

---- Raph's close-up Normals resembles Ryu's close-ups (minus the Mediums) in SFII.

---- As a hidden input command is needed to use Ultimate Attacks in Story Battle mode, it means that not many people will have seen the CPU Clone turtles use their Ultimate Attacks.

---- When the Clone turtles appear in Story Battle mode, they fight on a unique background/stage, which is a daytime version of the Sky Palace. This stage is non-selectable in Stage Select.

---- The same "purple clone turtle" concept is also used in the Mega Drive version of the game. This "tradition" was also used in other Turtles-related games as well.

===== TRIVIA =====

---- Regarding Aska, a certain item of attire is more revealing in the Japanese version.

---- Regarding Aska, she has a different and more animated winning pose in the Japanese version.

---- Regarding Aska, she was originally meant to be named "Mitsu" as an early beta version of the game shows.

---- The game is on three platforms - the NES, SNES and Genesis. However, the three games are significantly different to each other.

---- The USA version of the game came first, with the Japanese version following later.

---- In the Japanese version of the game, there are differences such as balance changes, new voice clips from Turtles in Time, a breakable wall extending the arena in the Studio 6 stage, and the ability to select the alternate colour palette by using the Start button on the select screen.

---- The European version uses "Hero" instead of "Ninja" in the game's title.
