Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game

This game has a pretty straightforward story. It starts with four turtles and a rat standing on a large building in New York, admiring a fire.

They were going to ignore the fire, but one of the turtles, Raphael, remembers that there is a Pizza Hut advertisement in the building that needs saving, and while he is there it would probably be appropriate to chat up a pretty lady trapped in her office.

Raphael eventually inhales too much smoke and passes out. Luckily, he is noticed by a group of escaping ninjas and one drags him out of the building, where he awakens next to a delicious slice of Pizza Hut pizza.

Raphael wanders the streets aimlessly, until a ninja pops out from behind a Pizza Hut sign and informs him that his giant rat friend has been kidnapped by tiny mouse robots.

Raphael wanders after them and what happens next is probably going to be pretty obvious.  It starts snowing out of nowhere and he is rolled by a couple of thug snowmen in front of a Pizza Hut sign.

Ba da bing ba da boom, Raphael travels to a subterranean base, eats a slice of Pizza Hut pizza that he finds on the floor, a flying brain announces its invincibility, and his giant rat friend does a little rat dance.
