* CompositeCharacter:

** Baxter Stockman, while black like in the original comics and 2003 show, appears to take visual cues from the 1987 version of the character in hairstyle.

* MythologyGag:
** The opening theme is essentially a combination of the original theme of the 1987 series[[note]]The first verse is about how cool the turtles are, the second verse goes through each of the four and Splinter individually, and the chorus is exactly the same.[[/note]] and the first film's ''Turtle Power'' by Partners in Kryme.
** The debut trailer for the Kraang mirrors TheReveal [[note]]the Ch'rell reveal, at any rate, because [[WhamEpisode there are a lot of them in that arc.]][[/note]] from [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 2k3]]'s "Secret Origins" arc scarily well, face hugging alien and all.
** Hamato Yoshi mutates into Splinter like the 1987 animated series and the Archie Comics series loosely based on it.
** The Foot Clan Ninjas wear suits that resemble those used in the live action movie.
** The opening theme uses the phrase "Secret of the Ooze", a reference to the title of the second live action movie.
** The pose that the Turtles strike at the end of the opening theme is identical to the cover of [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage the first Mirage Comic Book.]]
** The ThemeTuneRollCall lists the Turtles in the exact same order as those of the 1987 cartoon and the Back to the Sewer season of the 2003 cartoon: Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo.
*** In addition when the Turtles first start during weapon demonstrations is a visual gag to 2003's second opening version.
** The tails of Mikey's mask are short like they were in the 80's cartoon while the rest of the Turtles have long ones. This even came up in ''WesternAnimation/TurtlesForever'' where Mikey was a fan of the short tails (and the monogrammed belt buckles).
** The Nick.com motion comics play the game over tune from the old Konami beat-em-up games at the end of each comic!
** Like in the 87 series episode "Thing About Rats", the Turtles don't believe Mikey's story of an alien brain.
** April wearing yellow once again.
** Shredder, much like the '87 series, is once again being played by a physically intimidating ScaryBlackMan.
