Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters, or Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles: Tournament Fighters in Europe, is the title of three different fighting games based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, produced by Konami for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Genesis, and Super NES and released during a period between 1993 and 1994. Konami produced a different fighting game based on the franchise each featuring a differing cast of characters for the platforms. All three versions of the game were re-released as part of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection in 2022, with online play using rollback netcode for the Super NES version of the game.

What the critics said

  • One reviewer in the magazine called it "the perfect blend of elements from Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat while another declared that in some ways it was even better than Street Fighter II."

    — Electronic Gaming Monthly, 1993

  • In the same issue Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the Sega Genesis version average reviews, noting that the game is not a good as the Super NES version and stating that "There aren't many moves and the fighters are unappealing. The game also has a darker look and feel."

    — Electronic Gaming Monthly, 1993

  • Mega magazine gave the Sega Genesis an average review score, criticizing the game's sluggish gameplay and unresponsive controls, stating that "It's an uninspired beat-em-up that's borrowed everything from Street Fighter 2 but the gameplay."
