OpenBOR NES homage — 60 characters, 17 stages, four pads on one couch.
That One Thing
You unlock the cast by beating stages — villains included — until the roster looks like the entire toy aisle.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rescue-Palooza! is Merso X's free OpenBOR homage to the NES TMNT beat 'em ups. Story mode sends you across seventeen stages to rescue everyone Shredder kidnapped; clear a stage and you unlock more characters until sixty fighters from cartoons, comics, movies, and toys are on the select screen. Arcade mode opens once story is done.
Co-op is the pitch. Up to four players share one machine with combo setups, rideable vehicles, and voice clips from the show. Controllers are first-class; two players can share a keyboard if pads are short.
It is a fangame. Nickelodeon and Konami did not publish it. PlayBound lists it as freeware fan work from Game Jolt (project 39658), not as an official product. We host a PlayBound Windows package for one-click install after you upload the zip.
Online is honest: OpenBOR here has no native netcode. Friends who are not in the room use PlayBound Couch / phone-as-controller so remote pads appear as local players on the host PC — the same path as X-Men Arcade Remake and other local-only remakes.
We carry it because free four-pad TMNT co-op still clears the bar for couch parties, and because Couch mode covers remote friends without lying about LAN.
We picked Rescue-Palooza because it is a finished, free OpenBOR TMNT co-op remake with an absurd unlockable roster and real four-pad sessions. PlayBound can install it in one click once the package is hosted, and Couch mode covers the friends who cannot sit on the same couch.
