Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up (2009) is a fighting game for the Wii and PlayStation 2 that is based on the long running Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, developed by Game Arts (Super Smash Bros. Brawl), with help from ex-Team Ninja employees. Unlike most TMNT games, this one is a general representation of the franchise, with very little explicit nods to any particular continuity beyond the art style (taken from the CGI film) and voice cast (which is that of the 2003 series).

Tropes used in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash Up include:
  • Bat Family Crossover
  • Composite Character: In a way, everybody is, having the looks of the 2007 film (sans Shredder, Fugitoid and the Utrominator), voices from the 2003 show, while having some traits of the 80's characters.
  • Expy: While he's officially taken from the 4Kids series, the devs often refer to the Utrominator as the game's "Krang character".
    • He could also be an expy of Ch'rell from the 2003 show.
  • Guest Fighter: The Raving Rabbids, which was the source of much outcry by fans. There's also the Junkyard level. While the Turtles frequently find themselves in junkyards across their own franchise, this particular one is taken from Rabbids Go Home, complete with the Rabbids' tower. So if you've watched, say, this video, you'd almost mistake it as a Rabbids Go Home fighting game.
  • Mascot Fighter
  • Villain Decay: The Shredder, in the Comic, he leaves the Fugitoid as bait for the Turtles, while having the parts nearby.
