==Gameplay==
There are five different versions of the game, each based off certain episodes of the fourth season.
===PlayStation 2 and PC versions===
The PlayStation 2 and PC versions are clones of the Game Boy Advance version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) and are based on the first four episodes of the fourth season.
In these versions, four teams of three contestants have their own set of four acts to play through with one contestant from each team being able to play through the final act.
===Nintendo DS version===
The Nintendo DS version is a clone Nicktoons: Battle for Volcano Island on the same system, is based on episodes 5 and 6 of the fourth season and has 5 levels and 3 playable contestants.
===PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable and Xbox 360 versions===
The PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable and Xbox 360 versions are clones of Shrek the Third on the latter two systems, are based on episodes 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the fourth season and have 20 levels, each of which has a different playable contestant, although some levels have two contestants instead of just one.
===Wii version===
The Wii version is a clone of Michelangelo's story mode in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003), is based off episodes 11 and 12 of the fourth season and has 6 stages, each of which has a different playable contestant.
===Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita versions===
The Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita versions are stealth games and are based on the season four finale.
After the player chooses one of four contestants to play as, they start every level without their contestant's weapon and has to sneak around levels and past enemies to find them. The contestants throw shurikens at enemies until they find their weapons.
There are also shoot-em-up levels with the player's contestant controlling a panel, inside a ship or on her hoverboard.
When a contestant dies in a stealth level, the player will switch to a new one and continue the level where the last contestant died. If all four contestants die, the player has to go back to the beginning of the level starting as the last contestant they were playing as if they decide to continue. However, the player can switch between the four contestants on the fly by touching their respective tile on the touchscreen on the 3DS version or the D-pad on both versions.
