** One level has a boss fight against three Triceratons, who later get a rematch as regular enemies in one of the final levels. Oddly enough, none of them are identified as Captain Zorax, and the one you unlock after isn’t him either.



** Much later in the game, in the second to last level, you get to experience a stage ripped right out of ''Radical Rescue'' on the UsefulNotes/GameBoy. At the end you fight the first boss from that game!

** Karai appears a boss base on her appearance in ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTournamentFighters'', but in contrast to that game where she was a brutal SNKBoss, here she isn't especially challenging.

* EnemyEatsYourLunch: When fighting Baxter Stockman at Channel 6, he can (and will) eat the pizza nearby when his health gets low enough, assuming the player left it around to use later. He even gets a unique line should he pull it off.

Added DiffLines:

* DragonTheirFeet: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zigzagged]], as the game frequently changes up whether you fight Krang or his associate Shredder as the final villain of the game, especially once you reach the final battle (in which this happens ''three times in a row'').


Added DiffLines:

* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: Barney Stockman, who had no relation to the Foot Clan beyond being Baxter's brother in the cartoon, is included among its ranks here.
