There are no names for the levels in Mutant Nightmare. The only one named is Nightmare, and that's at the VERY end of the game. They are ordered by episodes, though.

[Jester]

I wonder if we should try to put dates in....
working from Christmas Aliens and All Hallows....heck from Things Change to Shredder Strikes, there are months un accounted for....

Huh, well in that case, what are the episode/level numbers? I'll just use the number instead of a name. If you can fill me in I'd appreciate it (I've been searching for a walkthrough online but haven't found one yet, most likely due to the game being so new).

I was considering it. But then again those are the only episodes with a firm date. I think in several episodes its mentioned how many weeks or months have passed since a certain event, but they're never specific and usually very vague, so it makes it tough. I was going to start watching my episodes over again to see if I can pick up on any in particular I missed before, so if I find anything new I'll be sure to adjust the timeline accordingly. Otherwise, the Christmans and Halloween dates are the best we have.

Also, how many years do you think have passed in the show so far? I only ask because we're on the fourth season of the show, but I seriously doubt 4 years have actually passed in the Turtles' timeline. We know at least one year has passed (since between The Christmas Aliens and All Hallows Eve has to be at least 10 months), and I'm sure a fair amount of time passed otherwise over the first two seasons, so I'm estimating about two years have passed in their timeline, though I could be wrong about that as well.

The whole thing about time passing in the Turtles' universe is they're specifically labeled as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and since its confirmed they were 15 at the beginning of the show, once 5 years have passed in their timeline they'll no longer truly be teenagers. So that kind of limits the time progression to a degree. Anyway, I'll watch through my tapes for those time references, and see what I can come up with.

[Jester]

I dunna....cause in the events of Tales of Leo and Monster Hunter, it's winter....and there's quite a gap between these and Christmas Aliens....*shrugs*

Good point. I'm also pretty sure there were a few episodes set in the city during the second season which were also set during winter, but I think it was only one or two.

EDIT: Added some preliminary dates, which I'll most likely be changing once I work my way through the first three seasons to look for time references. Please post if you see something which doesn't fit.

[longing for leo]

Good point. I'm also pretty sure there were a few episodes set in the city during the second season which were also set during winter, but I think it was only one or two.

The Golden Puck was most definitely set in winter, as the guys were in coats, scarves, hats, & gloves. It must have been really cold. The only other time we've seen them dressed like that was Mikey in Christmas Aliens. & we know that it was winter from Shredder Strikes Back to Monster Hunter. Also, in Return to New York, Casey says "wouldn't that milk be about 3 months old?" so it must be spring again in the Return to New York arc, & then we know that they were only gone for a week (?) in Earth time when they were in space, so still spring/summer-ish in Secret Origins. I think we're supposed to assume that there's a lot more going on (in winter, etc.) that we don't see. These have to be the only winter eps, caues the turtles can't go running around naked in freezing weather. I just assumed that a season means about a year. After all, Leo's sure growing up. Raph too. I think that as long as the writers don't say that it's been x years so technically they might not be teenagers much longer, they can still call them the teenage mnt's.

Technically, it doesn't. Vol. 4 of the comics takes place when the turtles are in their 30s, but it's still labelled as TMNT.

[Jester]

Well....in the comics the TMNT were introdused as teens in 1984....so in the year 2005, they'd be in their 30's....

[Turtle Dove]

Wow they are in their 30's? Wow I keep forgetting the comic was a straghttime line. That I like, it's cool but I hope the TMNT don't all settle down with kids ..cause those superheros who get awife then kids always ruins the story & makes it a drag

[Jester]

Laird's all about the TMNT being one (er...4) of a kind. any marriage and kids would be outta canon.

[J Legault]

Well, I don't pay too much attention on timeline. Don't mind if it's snowing in one episode then sunny in the other.

But atleast things have changed since Episode 1.

Very cool, lots of helpful info in that post. One thing though, while about a week passed for the TMNT while they were in space, only a few hours passed on Earth (it is specifically said in the opening of Secret Origins, Part 1 by the reporter outside the TCRI Building). Otherwise you were spot on with everything.

I was unaware of that as I don't read the comics, but its very interesting nonetheless.


Anyway I removed the date specifications from the timeline, mainly because its going to be impossible to get an accurate assessment of the passing of time in the series, and because it just seemed to clutter up the list itself. So I'll just leave it at a listing of the order everything takes place in.

[Aska_Badoura]

It was three weeks.
Now, considering all the time travel done in several episodes, are we going by the universe's timeline, or by the Turtles' timeline?

From "The Fugitoid" to part of "Secret Origins" (I think? Whenever they got transmatted back home), you'd be going by the Turtles' timeline. "Reality Check", "Across the Universe", "Same As It Never Was", and "The Real World Part One" happened simultaneously (sort of. They were all poofed off to their respective timelines simultaneously, but those timelines happened in separate time branches/dimensions), and also have no effect on the universal timeline. Ditto with "Time Travails", "April's Artifact", and a lot of "The King".

Then there's the flashbacks in "Tales of Leo", and "The Lesson". The Battle Nexus also can, apparently, transcend time and space, so I don't know what that does to the timeline.

Oh, and also, the Triceraton invasion had to occur at least three weeks after "Secret Origins", since the transmat bought them some time. Essentially, they were at home on Earth at the same time they were off in space (how's that for confusing?) So it was three weeks after the Turtles had met the Utroms, that the Triceraton Empire would lose them and Honeycutt, and find and begin tracking the transionic energy that brought them back to earth (and it apparently sticks around a while). Then it probably took them "a while" to get across the galaxy to earth, accounting for why it took them so long to invade the place after losing the guys (assuming it was "so long"... but that's a lot of stuff between "Secret Origins" and "Space Invaders" to have happened in just over three weeks!).

Earlier in this season, they had to air out of order, so "Wing and a Prayer" comes after "All Hallows Thieves".

Angel has aged considerably since "Fallen Angel". She was a preteen at the time, and seems to be a teenager now. I personally believe that their timeline is in actual real-time, regardless of season. It's been two years since the show began, and I believe time has progressed two years.

I assume you're ignoring the Game Boy Advance video game platform... I don't have any experience with the 3d ones, but the GBA's pretty much replicate the events of the show, but try to string it together with a rather lame "plot" that has very little to do with the show (for instance, Honeycutt's teleportal actually does work, and it's powered by crystals, as is the Utrom's transmat, and also some device Baxter uses to scramble their signals so they'd arrive without their weapons. Oh, and the Turtles were transmatted to D'hoonib out of nowhere while they were minding their own business at home. Yeeeah.)

EDIT: Oh, and you can REEALLY try to complicate things by trying to figure in the junior novels with original stories ("Shadows Over Chinatown", "The Secret", "Blackout!", etc etc). I haven't read any of them, myself.

[Jester]

My brain hurts....

But Aska's right....i think Splinter in Secret Origins 1 says they have been gone 8 hours. and Raph responds with "8 hours?! We were gone 3 weeks!" But that's temporal mechanics for ya. Supposedly if you could travel at like the speed of light to the nearest star and use a telescope strong enough to see to earth...you could see your birth...or maybe even eariler...who knows. Kinda like the whole theory of reletivity where one twin goes to Warp 1 (light speed for you non-Trekers.) and returns he will have aged less than his twin who is a light year older...and is actually a tomb stone in some cemetary some where...time travel and intergelactic travel are hard consepts to grasp...Imean Casey says that the guys were gone mere seconds in April's Artifact and who knows the actual time frame. This is quite a huge undertaking.

Right, it was three weeks for the turtles while in space, but only a span of hours here on Earth, and since I'm using Earth's time format, thats what I was going by.

We're going by the Earth timeline.

"Reality Check", "Across the Universe", "Same As It Never Was", and "The Real World Part One" happened simultaneously (sort of.

Makes sense.

Then there's the flashbacks in "Tales of Leo", and "The Lesson". The Battle Nexus also can, apparently, transcend time and space, so I don't know what that does to the timeline.

Basically makes it impossible to figure out, hence me removing the specific dates/seasons, and just leaving it in the order everything occurs (not counting flashbacks or simultaneous adventures like the Reality Check to Real World 5 parter), as its much more manageable and possible that way.

Oh, and also, the Triceraton invasion had to occur at least three weeks after "Secret Origins", since the transmat bought them some time. Essentially, they were at home on Earth at the same time they were off in space (how's that for confusing?) So it was three weeks after the Turtles had met the Utroms, that the Triceraton Empire would lose them and Honeycutt, and find and begin tracking the transionic energy that brought them back to earth (and it apparently sticks around a while). Then it probably took them "a while" to get across the galaxy to earth, accounting for why it took them so long to invade the place after losing the guys (assuming it was "so long"... but that's a lot of stuff between "Secret Origins" and "Space Invaders" to have happened in just over three weeks!).

Indeed. Apparently they weren't sleeping at all during those three weeks.

Earlier in this season, they had to air out of order, so "Wing and a Prayer" comes after "All Hallows Thieves".

Thats how its set up already. I ordered them based on the way its set up on ninjaturtles.com, as thats the only official listing, and every other episode guide I saw was out of order (listing them in the airing order instead of the chronological viewing order). So far as I know its correct.

Angel has aged considerably since "Fallen Angel". She was a preteen at the time, and seems to be a teenager now. I personally believe that their timeline is in actual real-time, regardless of season. It's been two years since the show began, and I believe time has progressed two years.

That makes sense. I haven't seen most of the last half of Season 3 (I'm still trying to find the DVDs for the last 3 volumes of season three, but unfortunately they're hard to come by around here, gonna have to just order them through Amazon.com I suppose) so I didn't catch Angel's return. Its encouraging to see though that they are allowing the timeline to progress naturally.

I assume you're ignoring the Game Boy Advance video game platform... I don't have any experience with the 3d ones, but the GBA's pretty much replicate the events of the show, but try to string it together with a rather lame "plot" that has very little to do with the show (for instance, Honeycutt's teleportal actually does work, and it's powered by crystals, as is the Utrom's transmat, and also some device Baxter uses to scramble their signals so they'd arrive without their weapons. Oh, and the Turtles were transmatted to D'hoonib out of nowhere while they were minding their own business at home. Yeeeah.)

Yeah, I'm referring only to the console versions of the games, as I consider them the more definitive versions, especially after reading about the approach they took with the GBA versions. So now knowing the console versions' of the games' storylines follow the show's more closely, I'll stick with those.

Speaking of which, still hoping someone will provide me with a level by level rundown/comparison of the new game, TMNT 3 - Mutant Nightmare, and the episodes they adapt, so I can add that into the timeline.

EDIT: Oh, and you can REEALLY try to complicate things by trying to figure in the junior novels with original stories ("Shadows Over Chinatown", "The Secret", "Blackout!", etc etc). I haven't read any of them, myself.

I didn't even know they existed. I just might try to work them in knowing they exist though. I want this timeline to be comprehensive after all.

I'm a professional at getting myself in over my head.

But I understand the concept, like I said I was just going by Earth-time, to prevent as much confusion as possible. Didn't work out that way unfortunately.

[DIrishB]

added novels in, they are in italics and colored green, to help differentiate. Check it out!

[Aska_Badoura]

You still have "Wing and a Prayer" listed as directly after "The People's Choice". Leo mentioned the Battle Nexus rematch in "Wing and a Prayer", which didn't happen till "Grudge Match". "Wing and a Prayer" was slated to air after "All Hallows Eve" originally, but they aired "Bad Day" instead, since they'd already aired "WaaP" out of order.

I'm a professional at getting myself in over my head.

Oh, me too. This could be dangerous.. :p
Wow... you dug up a bunch of novels I didn't know about, either... do you have reasons for placing them where you did, or just your best guess? (out of curiosity)

Fallen Angel / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Lean, Green Smackdown Machine (#5)

That book's actually not based on "Fallen Angel", though the cover would lead you to believe that. Raph and Mike enter themselves in an amateur wrestling competition (at the "Ronald Rump Center"... man, that sounds like something from the old show...). Oh dear... I found another synopsis for this book:
"When Raphael and Michaelangelo enter an amateur wrestling match, their opponents turn out to be none other than Shredder's right-hand man, Hun, and his brother, Ahnold."
You've GOT to be kidding me...

You know... this could be *very* dangerous. I've been writing an encyclopedia of stuff in the Aladdin universe, trying to put everything in a timeline, and making note of every character/artifact/place name/creature, and include every show, book, comic, and game I can find... but I'm also trying to iron out some of the continuity errors that inevitably occur when you've got all sorts of different teams working on a universe, that aren't talking to each other. I'm seeing contradictions already, here in these books. I've been trying to ignore the books, cuz of what they might start. My encyclopedia-writing fancy has been struck, and I'm trying to resist it.... (help!) You may have birthed a monster here...

Ok, fixed that then. Since I assume previously that the ninjaturtles.com site would have listed them in the correct chronological order instead of airing order, I had used their ordering. Since it was incorrect there as well I may have to adjust some of the other ordering for the Season 4 episodes.

Oh, me too. This could be dangerous.. :p

A number of the novels are adaptations of episodes, so those were easy to place. Anything which is an original story is currently placed tentatively until I can track some of them down and actually figure out a more specific and concrete placement. Like I said, I didn't even know they existed until you mentioned them and I tracked them down on Amazon.

Oh ok, yeah that was just another assumption since I hadn't read it yet. Thanks for the info.

Call me Dr. Frankenstein.

Like I said, give me a month or two to track down some of these, read them, and see where and how they fit in and I'll be able to determine the validity in including them. I might have to exclude them totally, but we'll have to wait and see.

Thanks for your help though, I for one appreciate it greatly.

[DIrishB]

Added in the TMNT 3 - Mutant Nightmare video game levels, so the timeline is almost complete. All thats left is to track down the books/novels and read through them so I can finalize their placement, and possible adjust them if need be. Thanks to TheLastSonof84 for providing me with the video game info, and thanks to everyone else who offered their help. I'm sure I'll be needing more in the future, so if something looks out of place, be sure to post it and let me know!
