After the success of their Coming Out of Their Shells, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have just began their new 1992 Gettin' Down in Your Town tour. With the help of their new roadie Casey Jones, the turtles are able to see into the dimension they had banished Shredder to. There the Shredder tricks the Turtles into freeing him from his prison. Rather than fight the Shredder themselves, they simply pass him along to Casey to deal with instead.
Unlike the first tour, Gettin' Down in Your Town ran exclusively at Six Flags Great America in 1992.
Gettin' Down in Your Town provides examples of:
- Continuity Nod: The Turtles make Casey fight Shredder by bringing up how he was not with them the last time they fought him.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: April, Splinter, and Baxter Stockman are nowhere to be seen. It is at least justified in the latter’s case as Shredder would really have no way/time to contact him.
- The Faceless: Due to union concerns, Casey never takes his mask off in the official recording.
- Flanderization: In the VHS release of the show, all footage of Casey Jones removing his mask and interacting with the audience are taken out due to union-related agreements with the actor, so the VHS version of Casey Jones just wears his hockey mask causally all the time.
- Mythology Gag: When introducing Casey Jones, Donnie refers to him as a "gackface", something he called him in the 1990 movie.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The Turtles releasing their mortal enemy from a Prison Dimension that they sent him in certainly qualifies.
- Ode to Food: Like the last concert, the turtles have written a song that's all about their love of pizza "Pizza USA."
- Pacified Adaptation: Even more so than the original show. The Turtles never actually fight, in Coming Out of Their Shells they at least fought against the foot clan. Here they make Casey fight Shredder, and on top being rather dodgy, the fight only lasts for about a minute or two before the Turtles send Shredder back to his Prison Dimension.
- The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: The Turtles hired Casey Jones to be their roadie (or "toadie" as Leo calls him), but he won't actually do anything they tell him to do, something that's Played for Laughs.Raphael: Hey Casey, how bout gettin' us a soft-drink?
Casey Jones: Eh, shut-up.
Leonardo: Woah. Casey, how 'bout uh, sharpening my sword?
Casey Jones: What? Your arms broken, or somethin'?
Leonardo: Strike two.
Michelangelo: Yo, Casey, dude, how 'bout ordering a pizza?
Casey Jones: Yeah, who died and made you boss? - Schmuck Bait: Shredder tricks the turtles into releasing him by threatening to expose a VHS tape containing footage of them committing terrible acts, reasoning that he can't show them what's on it because there are no VHS players in the dimension he was imprisoned in. It never occurred to them that maybe he didn't have a tape to begin with (considering he's in a Prison Dimension), and if the tape was real, then he would have no way to show it to anyone, making his threat toothless.Casey Jones: If they don't have VCRs in interdimensional-infinity, how could he make the video-tape?
- Shout-Out:
- Raphael calls Shredder "Edward Scissorsface."
- Casey calls Shredder a cheap Darth Vader ripoff.
- Too Dumb to Live: The fact that the Turtles believed Shredder when he says that he can blackmail them from his Prison Dimension really tells you how dumb they are. The fact that they freed him because they wanted him to play the tape in front of their audience just compounds the issue further.
