The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were a part of many childhood memories for me, whether it was the animated cartoon or playing the classic TMNT beat-em up in arcades and losing way too many quarters to it. The love of the franchise has continued ever since, though thankfully I don't lose nearly as many quarters to the franchise these days.

Early on, I was probably a bigger Raphael fan, but I became a bigger Donatello fan over time and have never looked back since. His goofiness, sincerity, and inventiveness are all parts of why I love the character, so I want to know which Turtle is your favorite and why!

It's Raph for me, mainly because of the original live-action movie. That said, across all versions of TMNT, Splinter is my favorite character. He's not a turtle so not really a valid answer to the question, but hey while I'm here I might as well shout out one of my favorite movie/TV dads. As great as he is in that first live-action film, he might be even better in Mutant Mayhem.

Splinter rules!

I am also a big Ace the Duck fan, and we need more Ace in stuff

I gotta go Raph as well. That CG movie, TMNT, where it is canon that Raphael beats Leonardo in a one-on-one is still top tier for me.

Gotta go with Donatello for literally no reason other than purple.

Michelangelo ... for his laid-back brilliance, as well as identifying with being the youngest brother.

I've always had a hard time choosing a favorite because I look at them as a single unit most of the time. They all complement each other well with their strengths and weaknesses and rely on each other. However, I think I lean more towards Michelangelo as he's laid back and loves to crack jokes and is insanely talented. I can relate to him because he has a hard time focusing, but can get the job done when he focuses. I always choose him in games unless it's TMNT 1 for the NES, then it's Donatello all the way!
