The tropes unique to this adaptation include: Check out the Space Heroes Page, Super Robo Mecha Force Five Page and the Crognard the Barbarian Page. In a unique touch, each season of the show features the Turtles watching a cheesy cartoon (parodying a specific decade per season) that usually foreshadows events of an episode (which was outright lampshaded on one occasion).
In 2017, it likewise got an arcade game, following in the footsteps of its '80s predecessor, though this one was developed by Raw Thrills rather than Konami. A game for mobile devices has also been released, as well as a LEGO racing game on the LEGO website. Three video game adaptations were released in 2013 for the show, the abysmally-reviewed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (with the Turtles radically redesigned from their television likenesses), followed shortly by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2013) (this one with the cartoon's aesthetics), which was slightly better received. However, it also tends to use characters and elements from the Mirage comics and other previous incarnations.

The 2012 series is a reboot of the 1987 series, since it uses and/or modernizes a significant amount of that incarnation's characters and elements. What ensues is the escalating war between the Hamato and Foot Clans, a Myth Arc that turns out to have been in the works for far longer than most of the cast knows, and the unraveling mystery of the Kraang's agenda for Earth and humankind. Unfortunately, the Turtles' attack has not gone unnoticed by the media, which alerts The Shredder to come to New York to take on Hamato Yoshi's students himself. They vow not to rest until they rescue him. They manage to rescue the girl, April O'Neil, but the Kraang still have her father.
After storming the enemy fortress, they learn that these creatures are called "The Kraang" and have sinister plans in store. They try to intervene, but don't fare well during the fight, with the van getting away, only to discover that the kidnappers are really robots with living brain creatures in their chest and were carrying the ooze that made them into mutants!Įager to learn more of this strange connection, the Turtles regroup and begin to practice fighting as a team with Master Splinter appointing Leonardo as The Leader. However, things go awry when they witness a girl and her father being abducted by men in a van. At first, they love the surface with its weird lights and even stranger food (like pizza). It's the Turtles' fifteenth birthday and they're itching to venture up to the surface and showcase their ninja skills.
