===== ABOUT RAT KING =====

The Rat King is an enigmatic character whose origins are usually either unknown or secret, and his relationship with the Turtles is quite complicated. He has appeared in his various incarnations as an enemy, an anti-hero, and as an ally of the Turtles. He appears in most TMNT incarnations.

In the SNES version of TTF, in the Tournament mode of the game, he functions as the end boss if the difficulty level is set to 2 or lower; and as the penultimate boss to Karai if the game's difficulty is set to 3 or higher. His design in the game is very muscular, more so than what he is usually depicted as in other media in the franchise.

===== GAMEPLAY =====

He is basically a "grappler" character for the game. While his movement is slow, he sure inflicts very high damage, especially his throws and super move.

He has many boss properties - his crouching [NK] is a rising and dropping elbow move; and his jumping [FK] is a Thrusting Dropkick. Both these Normals could well be special moves. His Rat B0mb£r special move throw has good range and seems to be able to be combo'd into from some Normals... either that or it's a Tick throw with buffer. His standing/neutral [FK] looks somewhat "odd" as well, but extremely effective.

===== OTHER INFORMATION / TRIVIA =====

---- He can appear as a CPU opponent early on in Story mode.

---- Even when unlocked, his figure does not appear on the character select screen in VS Battle and Watch mode.

---- When using third party methods to play as him, after you defeat CPU Rat King, he can appear on the screen with the two women and falling money, assuming you beat the game well enough.

---- When using third party methods to play as him in Tournament mode, after you defeat CPU Karai, and after the winning screen, you'll get a blank "template" ending screen - but you can make it glitch like crazy by pressing buttons. At 34:00 in the video. The "ending" uses C.Shredder's ending music theme.

---- When using third party methods to play as him in Tournament mode, he has no problems in the bonus game, despite him not being meant to appear here.

---- Some of his moves have "boss properties", as explained earlier.

---- His appearance in the SNES version of the game is roughly based on the design from the 1987 cartoon.

---- 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.
