I remember listening to hours of this soundtrack while playing Super Mario Bros 3 as a child, but somehow I had completely forgotten that MC Hammer made this track. Anyhow, probably a lot of us are somewhere in the age group where we were into Ninja Turtles as a kid, so I thought this might make a fun poll.



And to add even nostalgia to this nostalgia:

 
In the cartoons and movies - Michaelangelo

In the videogames - Leonardo
 
Michelangelo because i loved the orange color.

Probably the same reason why i loved shido in the 5 samurai anime :lollipop_squinting:

Michelangelo. The prankster. The jokester of the group. Not a single problem couldn't be solved in his world without pizza.

I still believe this.
 
It was Raphael but I saw most of Season 1 of the 2012 series and Leo was definitely my favorite of what I saw. Never got around to the 2003 series.
 
Leonardo because of the dual wielding katanas. ninjatōs

Mikey is in first for his relatability and humor (and nunchucks, I exploded so many dollar store pairs pretending to be Michaelangelo)

Raph is in second for red, his temper, and general badassery
 
For me, it always varied depending on the particular show, movie, or game.

The 2012 series is the only one where I truly loved each turtle (and Master Splinter) equally. ❤

The personality, voice work, creativity, and heart put into each turtle and Splinter was perfect in the 2012 series. It is my favorite rendition above all others...and the only one where I can't choose a favorite. :)
 
Crappy 80's/90's cartoon that small me loved. Purple

1st Movie: Red

2nd Movie: Vanilla Ice

And screw the guy above me for reminding me how old I am ;)
 
Donatello, but largely because bo staff was the best ranged weapon.

Watching the first movie as an adult - and reading the IDW re-imagining -its clear I relate far more to Raph.
 
Leonardo when i was a kid cuz of the double katanas, but Michelangelo now cuz hes more fun. Thought Raphael was whiny as hel!. Donatello was alright cuz he built cool gadgets.
 
Started liking Leo as a kid, but grow bored with his attitude and personality. Changed to Don and I still like him. He has a cool weapon and I like his personality. I like Mic too, but not as much as Don.

Leonardo was too "mr perfect leader guy".
Donatello was too nerdy, had the most boring weapon and the girliest color.
Michaelangelo was too "mr cool party guy".
Raphael was my fav. I also liked his color and his weapons.
 
Michelangelo because I thought nunchaku were the coolest weapon; my love of nunchaku came from watching Bruce Lee clean up some gangsters in 'The Way of the Dragon' using them.
