TMNT/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES, 1989)

Subgenre: Action Platformer w/ AA elements

Kinda similar to Zelda II in structure (the overworld is played in a TD view and has real-time combat in it, the game's structure is linear but most of its hub areas allow for non-linear gameplay, can't backtrack to a previous hub area)

Basic overworld maps
No save or password save, limited continues
Non-persistent power ups in sub areas means you can grind for pizza and sub weapons
One tool gate and its use is pretty straightforward (rope item used like a key to cross some pits)
