Thoughts on this game? Would it've been more popular if it included more classic characters like Bebop, Rocksteady, Leatherhead and Slash instead of literally whos from the comic?

Game was popular enough for being a SNES exclusive. Only other thing they could do is port it to the arcades.

By the time this game out, TMNT was about to die off.

Skipping the entire 5th generation is crazy

It probably made its profit. Was a nive Turtles Street Fighter game.

It's fun to see that era of "we don't care what you do just make the product" licensed stuff. TMNT had it the most, but you can see it in other stuff of the era, like the GI Joe and Transformers games. GI Joe's arcade game released in 1992 and other than a few token picks from the start of the line, heavily uses toys from the 1991/1992 assortments, has some moments in the opening pulled from the 1986 movie, and then ends on a splash page that's blatantly a comic book cover from 1991. Transformers: Mystery of Convoy uses the toys of 1986 (Menasor, Bruticus, Trypticon) for its bosses, and then includes the ship the Decepticons had in the first episode of the cartoon. Even Bucky O'Hare's arcade game which is based almost exclusively on the cartoon still dipped into its comic book run for its design for the villain KOMPLEX.

But TMNT always will take the take because its sources to pull from were even more disparate. Sometimes it'd be the cartoon. Sometimes you'd have the current toys. Archie Comics version of a character. Mirage comics. The Live Action films. Anything could be taken from this turtle buffet to fill the plate. And Tournament Fighters really was this at its peak. I wouldn't change that for the world.

Nah.
Bebop and Rocksteady are recognizable, but they're no one's favorite. And that true for most TNMN villains, no one is going to buy a game because they want to play with Krang.

Chromedome is the toy version, Wingnut is Archie, and Shredder is Mirage as well.

I don't think that Cyber Shredder existed outside of the games, at least when Tournament Fighters and Radical Rescue came out.
