* CloudCuckooLander: Mikey has [[SanitySlippage lost what little screws he had left]], squatting in a old family restaurant, eating moldy canned pizza, and revering who he calls the "Holy Pepperoni".

* ShipSinking: None of the turtles appear to be married or it is implied that they were married, which may indicate that their respective love interests died, or could not be together due to various factors.

* BareYourMidriff: Mira the meercat.

* DeadlyDistantFinale: The special was originally considered as this until Nickelodeon makes The Big Blowout the aired series finale instead.

* DarthVaderClone: While the identity is based primarily off of [[Film/MadMax2TheRoadWarrior Lord Humungus]], Maximus Kong features numerous similarities to Vader: a mask that makes his voice sound deep, fallen far from his heroic personality due to Mutagen-induced insanity, has familial relations with the protagonists, and ultimately gets his sanity back, putting him back on the side of the heroes.

** According to Ciro, who is one of the producers of the series and released an Instagram on the same month that Mutant Apocalypse era was shown, that Mona Lisa actually left earth before the mutangeon bomb hit the world. It’s possible the reason she left probably because she was pregnant with Raphael’s child, Mona Lisa was afraid to tell him and he may noticed her belly, so she left. Since there have been a lot of hints from episodes that feature her, that she and Raphael are moving towards the next level of their relationship. Mona Lisa May have been returning to earth and keep continuing to find her Raphael.

* CharacterDeath: Casey, also it is implied that April and Karai may have died as well, as April's broken tessen can be seen inside the shellraiser, and Karai's motorcycle and helmet are used by Mira. It is unknown what happened to the Mighty Mutanimals and Kirby O' Neil, though they are most likely dead too. Heartbreaking even though this arc is considered non-canon. But that means, canonically the mutant apocalypse never happened and they are all canonically still alive.

* {{Elseworld}}: Officially considered as such by {{Creator/Nickelodeon}}, placing the Turtles into a BadFuture setting where they're all struggling to survive the harsh wastelands after failing to stop a Mutagen Bomb, but stated to be non-canon to the series.

* BadassBeard / BeardOfSorrow: Raphael grows one in 50 years ([[FridgeLogic despite being a hairless turtle]]) and shaves it off at the end of part 1.
