This translation is intended for people who already know English and are learning Japanese. It is not intended to be used to learn English, because the sentences in English may use strange or awkward wording in order to illustrate the vocabulary and grammar of the original Japanese.

Intro[edit]

Japanese
フロリダビーチでバカンスを たのしんでいるタートルズ・・・
English
The turtles are enjoying a vacation at Florida Beach...

This is a case of taigendome (体言止め), ending a sentence with a noun to emphasize it.

TMNT

Japanese
「エイプリルのリポートが はじまる!」
English
"April's report is starting!"

April O'Neil

Japanese
「ここニューヨークでは、はんざいが ふえるばかり・・・・・」
English
"Here in New York, crime keeps rising, and..."

TMNT

Japanese
「な、なんだ!?」
English
"W-what's this?"

Shredder

Japanese
「タートルズよ! みるがいい!!」
English
"Turtles! Pay attention!"
Japanese
「タートルズよ、エイプリルと マンハッタンは、あずかった。」
English
"Turtles, I have kidnapped April and Manhattan."
Japanese
とりもどしたければ、おれのところへ、こい!!!」
English
"If you want to get them back, come to my place!"

取り戻したければ is the conditional form of 取り戻したい, which is the desiderative ("I want") form of 取り戻す.

The comma after へ is unnecessary (though the one after とりもどしたければ isn't unusual). It seems that this game prefers to use commas rather than spaces after phrases to make the all-kana text more readable.

Stage 1 - Beach[edit]

Japanese
レッツゴー! タートルズ!!
English
Let's go, turtles!

Stage 2 - Ocean[edit]

Japanese
カワバンガ! めざせマンハッタン!!
English
Cowabunga! Head for Manhattan!

TODO — Unusual word order

Stage 3 - Bridge[edit]

Japanese
あしもとに、ちゅういせよ!!
English
Watch your step!

せよ is one of the imperatives of する. More common is しろ; using せよ gives it more of an air of authority (like a military command).

Stage 4 - New York[edit]

Japanese
そらのうえの、マンハッタン!!
English
Manhattan up in the sky!

Stage 5 - Sewer[edit]

Japanese
ちかせんにゅうげすいどうでファイト!!
English
Let's sneak into the underground sewers and fight!

Stage 6 - Technodrome[edit]

Japanese
エイプリルを、さがせ!!
English
Look for April!

Rescued April[edit]

Japanese
「ありがとう、タートルズ!!」
English
"Thank you, turtles!"
Japanese
「マンハッタンとうの、じょうくうに、クラングのうちゅうせんが、ある。」
English
"Krang has a spaceship in the skies above Manhattan Island."
Japanese
みて!! シュレッダーがにげるわ!」
English
Look! Shredder's getting away!

Stage 7 - Building[edit]

Japanese
のがすか、シュレッダー!!
English
Are we really letting you escape, Shredder?

か, when used with the plain form, typically adds an incredulous tone.

Stage 8 - Spaceship[edit]

Japanese
さいごたたかいあいことばはカワバンガ!!
English
The final battle. The password is 'cowabunga'!

Secret message[edit]

This message can be accessed by entering the Konami Code on the title screen (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start).

Japanese
このたびは、コナミのT.M.N.T.2 ザ マンハッタン プロジェクトを、おかいあげいただきまして、まことに、ありがとうございます。
English
At this time we thank you greatly for buying Konami's TMNT 2: The Manhattan Project.
