* OnlySaneMan: When the turtles and the Mighty Mutanimals first meet, 3/4th of both teams end up objecting to teaming up and arguing with each other. Only Mikey and Leatherhead stay calm and understand their teams need to work together. It of course helps that the two of them are already friends.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: Mikey was just playing MadScientist with Donatello's lab kit and accidentally created retromutagen. Not only that, the new batch can even turn mutagen into retro-mutagen! Just don't ask him to make more, considering he was just throwing random things in a beaker.

* OffscreenVillainDarkMatter: Averted. The reason the Kraang invasion has not spread to the rest of the world is because their massive invasion of New York that involved mutating millions of people cost them the majority of their mutagen supply, thus averting EasyLogistics.
