* CurbstompBattle: Tigerclaw is more than a match for the combined might of the Mutanimals. Later, in an aversion of this trope, the Turtles and Mutanimals actually manage to fight Shredder to a draw.
* DavidVersusGoliath: Mikey ends up fighting Tigerclaw solo, though he seems to mostly just dodge Tigerclaw's attacks in an attempt to outlast the fight rather than trying to engage him directly.

** The worms that Baxter forces Slash, Dr. Rockwell and Raphael to swallow, so that Shredder can control their minds is most likely a reference to ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan.'' Khan Noonian Singh did something very similar to some of Captain Kirk's crew.

* ChekovsGun: Donnie finishes repairing the Shellraiser just in time for the brainwashed Slash and Rockwell to steal the Party Wagon, meaning they still have something with which to give chase.

Shredder kidnaps the Mighty Mutanimals to test his mind control formula.

* AbsenteeActor: Tigerclaw and Stockman are the only enforcers of the Foot to be present in this episode. Meanwhile, April and Casey are absent as well.
* BearHug: The episode ends with Raph unexpectedly giving Leo one.
* BladeOnAStick: After losing his swords, Leo engages brainwashed Raph with a Naginata and a three-pronged spear.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Happens to Slash, Rockwell, and Raph courtesy of Shredder's mind control chemical.
* TheBusCameBack: The Shellraiser makes its return.
* ContinuityNod: Despite accepting him as an ally, Leo still isn't fond of Slash.
* ChekovsGun: Donnie finishes repairing the Shellraiser just in time for the brainwashed Slash and Rockwell to steal the Party Wagon, meaning they still have something with which to give chase.
** Also, as seen from the episode prior to last, we see what Shredder's mind control plan unfold.
* CurbstompBattle: Tigerclaw is more than a match for the combined might of the Mutanimals. Later, in an aversion of this trope, the Turtles and Mutanimals actually manage to fight Shredder to a draw.
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Several over the course of the episode.
* LampshadeHanging: Mikey notices that every in-universe cartoon they watch reflects their missions. Leo thinks Mikey's reading too much into it.
* TheMole: Slash and Rockwell's mind control doesn't immediately take effect, so they can convincingly be placed as sleeper agents within the Turtles.
* MythologyGag: Once Shredder has Raph under his control, he has him don gauntlets identical to his own. In the Image comics, Raph becomes the new Shredder.
* OrificeInvasion: The mind serum is administered via worms the test subjects are forced to swallow.
* PeoplePuppets: Rockwell utilizes his [[MindOverMatter telekinetic]] abilities to force Donnie to beat himself up.
* ShoutOut: "Resistance is futile!"
** The worms that Baxter forces Slash, Dr. Rockwell and Raphael to swallow, so that Shredder can control their minds is most likely a reference to ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan.'' Khan Noonian Singh did something very similar to some of Captain Kirk's crew.
* WimpFight: Pigeon Pete and Baxter Stockman engage in this, slapping each other ineffectually (with Stockman yelling "Watch the mandibles, jerk!").
* ZergRush: All four Turtles and all four Mutanimals attack Shredder ''en masse'', and Shredder is ''just'' able to repel the massive assault.
