Mistakes:
1. Despite appearing on screen only a few minutes, the punks who harass Donatello and Raphael voices change.
2. When Zach helps the turtles, Raph is colored as Leo. (2:3
3. Krang’s hands when he’s first show are red, but when he gives Shredder “an astronomy lesson” they are flesh tone and then turn back to red.
4. The transport module whirs, but goes nowhere for a few seconds.
5. When Leo comments on something sticky on the floor of the van, he steps into something in the sewer floor.
6. When Rocksteady and Bebop explain the plan in Zach’s room, one of Rocksteady’s horns is grey, not white.
7. Though Zach returned Raphael’s Turtle Com, he somehow has one in his room. (He is given one at the end of the episode.)
8. As Donatello spells out Shredder’s plan, his mouth doesn’t move.
9. Raphael’s shoulder is brown when he and Mikey are tied to their chairs.
10. The placement of the tied up Turtles changes from scene to scene.
Pizza References:
1. The other Turtles interrupt Donatello’s studies of a rare astrological phenomenon for a late night mozzarella run. Raphael: Hey, planetary alignments come and go, but pizza is forever!
2. The billboard outside Channel 6 is an ad for pizza.
3. The sticky substance on the floor of the van can’t be pizza. Mikey hasn’t eaten any in it for a “whole month”
4. As part of Zach’s tour of the lair, he is treated to a hot fudge and anchovy pizza.
5. He also sees Donatello working on a container that “Michaelangelo’s pizza sauce won’t dissolve.”
6. Michaelangelo tells Zach they could meet the Turtle Fan club at pizzeria openings.
Catchphrase Countdown:
1. Shredder calls the Turtles “Meddlesome Reptiles”
2. Zach almost says “Turtle Power!” but falls off his bike mid catchphrase.
3. Shredder called Bebop and Rocksteady “clumsy ignoramuses.”
Pop Culture References:
1. Some of Zach’s toys include a E.T look alike, a Raggedy Ann (or Andy).
2. Raph asks Zach, “Who ya gonna call, Mutant Busters?” when he asks for Don’s Turtle Com, a parody of Ghost Busters.
Wacky Inventions:
1. Capsidium Crystals
Forth Wall Breaking Humor:\
1. When Shredder tells the Turtles they won’t stop him, Mikey chimes in with, “Get serious dude, they don’t call this the Shredder Show.”
Notables:
1. The Turtles again use their Tor Johnson masks.
2. From a Rob Paulsen fan stand point, it’s amusing that Raphael is the Turtle who saves Zach from the swinging pendulum.
3. Though he seldom calls the Turtles this, Splinter refers to Zach as, “My son.”
