Is Next Mutation in the same universe as the movies?

Did the trophy room contain anything specific to Next Mutation?

It was always my impression that TMNT was meant to be a sequel to everything, not just a fourth movie in the series.

Obviously, everything is a franchise, these days, and the intention was surely to reboot TMNT as a new movie series. They just decided to use everything as the launching point instead of choosing a single universe. Which was probably the right thing to do.


I kind of felt the same way about Next Mutation. I didn't consider it a sequel to the OT or the movie trilogy. It was just the next Ninja Turtles, and the subway station was the most familiar setting.
