I like this game, but it's way too long.
I honestly think both of the NES TMNT beat em ups are way too long. I've no deathed both games and I think they still clock in at just over an hour. For contrast, I played Turtles in Time the other day and beat it in 21 minutes. I dont remember if I posted it in the unpopular game opinion thread or not, but I like that the SNES Final Fight cut out the industrial area level. Even with 5 areas, it still takes almost an hour to finish. Final Fight 2 went back to 6 stages and it's just way too tedious. Final Fight 3 added shortcuts in some of the stages which gives it the perfect balance since the player can decide if they want to take the shorter or the longer routes.
