This section contains spoilers for the video game adaptations of Turtle Man and DaPhantom, whether that be about the gameplay or storyline. Proceed with caution!

### Game Modes

*Turtle Man and DaPhantom: Fighters* is a fighting game, as the title may suggest, where players can fight against eachother as the different characters of the show, including both heroes and villains. Different characters can be unlocked by levelling up through completing matches and gathering points from daily quests, and each one has their own upgradable attacks and special powers which become stronger as they upgrade. There are 3 different game modes that are available to play:

* In **Solo** mode, the players will fight on their own against a randomly selected character that is not actually being played by a person, but rather a bot who battles against the player. This difficulty is great for those who wish to practice using the different characters, especially ones they have just unlocked.
* **Multiplayer** mode sees players fighting against other players in combat, each player must be a different character unless there are no others available to choose. The player can either create a personalised server with or join an online one with random people across the web, up to 8 players can be in a match at once.
* In **Story** mode, players will embark on an adventure through a campaign of randomly generated levels which tells a story of Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. attempting to foil another one of The Devourer's sinister plans to destroy the City of Nexus, taking them through a variety of levels where they will face off against AI-controlled enemies and even powerful boss fights.

### Arenas

The arenas are where fights between characters take place in Solo and Multiplayer, which include areas from all throughout the show. In solo mode the player themself chooses the map, whereas in multiplayer mode there's a vote and whichever map gets the most votes is the one that will be chosen to play on. The current arenas include:

* City of Nexus Town Hall
* Officer M's House
* Nexus Police Station
* Turtle Man's Cove
* Nexus Airport
* DaPhantom's Manor
* Ectoplasm Forest
* Victor's Bakery
* Old MacDonald's Farm
* Mort's Spaceship
* Gerald's Plane
* Devourer's Lair
* Yoshi Resort Hub Area
* Yoshi Resort Centre

### Characters

Players can play as many of the characters who are present on the show, however most of the characters are not available immediately. They would need to level up in order to be able to unlock certain characters, and also level up specific characters to unlock new abilities for them to use in combat, including an “Ultimate Move” that must be charged up, though all characters also have a default melee ability. The level cap for the game is Level 50, however there are no characters to be unlocked past Level 35 and instead just stat buffs for all the characters you already have unlocked.

## Trivia

* This is the first game adaptation ever made for *Turtle Man and DaPhantom*.
* Characters in the show who have already died, such as Ellie, Officer Lewis and Hector Flores (as the Pumpkin Punk) are available as playable characters. In fact, Nurse Ellie was not even in the show within the same period as the latter two.
* The old version didn’t have as many characters and arenas in it, and also only had the solo and multiplayer modes as well as no FreeLC at all. It was also rather outdated, with it’s contents only going up to about Season 4 of the show.
* The game was updated in April 2023 to version 1.1.0, which introduced the Frying Pan Lady as a new playable character that is found from a secret item in the story mode, made some tweaks/changes to various features, added a few new items and mechanics and fixed various bugs.
	+ There are more updates to the game planned for the future, which will add new characters, items, levels and more to reflect the show's newer seasons.
