If TMNT met Blue's Clues...
ミュータントタートルズの パズルブツク①
Composite scan of the front and back covers for the special puzzle book published by DengekiComics. Despite its # 1 tag, I think it was a one-shot that came out alongside a Story Book and an Activity Book, each boasting a # 1 stamp. The three-book set was promoted alongside the ongoing DengekiComics volumes and can be seen in the special features of the DVD of the TMNT OVA anime.
This 18-page book contains a complete TMNT adventure in which the reader helps solve the puzzles to ultimately save the day. First, April O'Neil reports on a theft by the Foot Clan (Shredder, Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady). The Ninja Turtles (Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo with a little help from Splinter) jump into action to solve the clues, only to receive a letter from Shredder informing them that the Foot Clan has captured April. Fortunately, April left the turtles a trail to follow (her news equipment and even one of her boots) which leads them to the villains' headquarters. After solving the last set of mazes and illusions, the Turtle Team beats up Shredder, frees April, and enjoys some pizza.
Every major story-beat requires the player to solve a simple puzzle to advance the story; for the most part the puzzles are variants on either a maze or the spot-the-difference game. None of them are especially challenging (aside from the language barrier), but there are some nice illustrations throughout the book that can't be seen anywhere else (so far as I know).
