Never let it be said the Fred Wolf show wasn’t often surreal to the point of absurdity! But that’s why I love it.
That said, despite the original mini-series, it’s just easier to consider TMNT Adventures a seperate continuity with a few similarities to ‘87. It’s just less of a headache with all of the later retcons.

Every turtle looked so on point with their respective art style, and everyone had their own unique voice that really helped emphasize their differences. One weird inconsistency: Archie Raphael has been pulled just after beginning to date Ninjara, yet is wearing his black suit. Obviously it’s because they want him to stand out from other Raphaels, but still.
I did like how the Archie Turtles look like they’re printed on faded paper. Very nice touch.
I like that Leo was drawn in Turtles Forever style, possibly indicating that he was pulled the farthest along in his timeline compared to other turtles. I may be looking too much into that however.
Now, THIS was a fun issue. It’s a shame it took four issues for us to get here though, the story is almost finished.
