** The dance moves the turtles do in their taunts is the same dance performed by Creator/VanillaIce in the second movie.

* AdaptedOut: While the game is InspiredBy the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 2012 show]], it leaves out Chris Bradford and Xever.

* InspiredBy: Officially, the game is a license of the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 current cartoon]], but several elements are drawn from the films and the comics.

Has the same name as an upcoming movie in the franchise, a sequel to the [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014 2014 movie]].

* AbortedArc: Most of the events of the past movie are forgotten, except that the turtles beat Shredder. Notably, the end of the first film implied Shredder was going to intentionally mutate himself, but this is never mentioned.

* ActorAllusion: Somehow managing to allude an actor who isn't even in the game, one bit of dialogue references the fact that RobPaulsen was the original voice of Raph and the current voice of Donnie.
--> '''Donatello''': ''I had this weird dream that you opened your mouth and my voice came out''
--> '''Raphael''': ''You creep me out sometimes''

* MythologyGag: During the Cerberus Mouser boss fight, Mikey comments that it doesn't look like an aardvark. This is a ShoutOut to CerebusTheAardvark and a nod to the fact that he guest-starred in one of the Mirage stories. Michelangelo also jokingly mentions that he and his brothers might face samurai rabbits next, a nod to Miyamoto Usagi, protagonist of the UsagiYojimbo comic book, and the fact that he frequently made crossover appearances with the Turtles.
** The dance moves the turtles do in their taunts is the same dance performed by Vanilla Ice in the second movie.

* WhatTheHellPlayer: A subtle version. Try to make a Turtle jump from a too-tall ledge or building, and he will just approach the edge, look down, and back off again.

** The dances moves the turtles do in their taunts is the same dance performed by Vanilla Ice in the second movie.

* LampshadeHanging: Donatellow frequently comments on the fact that they're eating pizza (the health item) found lying around on the ground.

* SenfeldianDialogue: Constantly between the turtles, mostly during long treks between fights, but sometimes during. Mikey spills a long ode towards different types of pizza, the boys discuss whether or not they should get tattoos, etc.

* ArtificialStupidity: The game has been savaged in this regard. Examples include, but are not limited to: the AI Turtles getting stuck somewhere, an AI Turtle ''just walking around'' in the middle of a fight, and Kraang will prioritize getting physical even when they have guns.
** This troper was once in a full on gang brawl when he suddenly pulled off a stealth K.O. on some guy who apparently was completely oblivious to the action all around him.
