In turbo tourneys I like to play aggressive during the biginning so I can get a small stack going and start my attack and in a hyper-turbo I play even more aggressive at the start.

Play basically the same as you would in a non-turbo tournament based on your stack size and other relevant factors at the time. Obviously you can't sit and wait for hands for as long because your stack gets shorter quicker relative to the blinds, but I've never seen them as requiring a huge strategic shift or anything.

Bottom line you need to win races in turbos. There will be quite a few all ins, pick your spots and win.
Easy enough;)

Just need to be lucky when the blinds get bigger, even if you have built a bigger stack earlier, and even getting it in good.
More gambling than playing imo.

Call late position shoves lighter from the blinds and shove lighter in late position to steal blinds. This is player dependant but generally true.

You have to win more 40/60's in turbos as your seeing less hands for your chips stack. pick your moments. i love turbos

Play aggressive and realize you are playing the lottery.

Winning at turbo sng is not luck or playing the lottery.
If you play the game soundly you can consistently win. My advice to start with is employ a raise or fold strategy through out the tournament, DON'T CALL off your chips. If your stack or your opponents stack is 10bb or less go all in. Get to the bubble and then get maniacal.
For a complete strategy on how to beat these games go to sitandgoplanet.com.
