Go To

1When the Neutrinos invade Mikey's mind, the other turtles have to travel through his subconscious to get rid of Neutrinos.
2----
3* AdaptationSpeciesChange: The Neutrinos used to be a race from Dimension X, but here, they are just another alien race.
4* AdaptationalVillainy: In previous cartoon and comics, the Neutrinos were allies. Here they are villains.
5* AWildRapperAppears: The embodiments of Mikey's various personality traits lay down an impromptu rap, much to the others' consternation.
6-->'''Raph:''' This is excruciating.
7* BadGuyBar: The turtles go to one in order to meet Fugitoid's contact.
8* BeyondTheImpossible: Casey tries waking Mikey up with a slice of pizza and when he doesn't react, Casey says it defies the laws of physics.
9* BigFun: The obese Mikey who appears in his subconscious represents Mikey's gluttony. It's safe to say this would be how the real Mikey would look and be like if his love of pizza and eating in general ever caught up to him.
10* BreathWeapon: Belebome uses his foul breath to stun the Turtles. At the end of the episode, Mikey returns the favour.
11* ContinuityNod: There's definitely a lot of it when the turtles enter Mikey's mind, such as a scene of the turtles role playing in ''Mazes and Mutants'' and returning to April's farm house.
12* FantasticRacism: The turtles and Honeycutt have to enter a bar where humans aren't allowed to enter, leaving April and Casey behind.
13-->'''Casey''': Oh, this is alien racism!
14* FatBastard: The alien who was supposed to give Honeycutt information about the Triceratons in exchange for Honeycutt's life savings decides to back out of the deal for more money. Also, he's apparently working for Dregg.
15* InNameOnly: The Neutrinos in this episode bare absolutely no resemblance whatsoever to their previous incarnations.
16* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: The story about saving Mikey from Neutrinos by going into his mind and defeat it. The title of the story even called ''Journey To the Center of Mikey's Mind''.
17* MaliciousMisnaming: Mikey calls Belebome "Belly Bomb," the name of the [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesAdventures Archie]] character he's based on.
18* {{Manchild}}: It's been rather obvious since the show started, but Donnie finally confirms Mikey is this when they find Mikey's inner self who basically "never matured past 6".
19* OutOfFocus: Remove Casey from this episode and nothing would change.
20* ShoutOut:
21** [[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy Zaphod's]] Cantina.
22** The Neutrinos bear a strong resemblance to The Mindless Ones from ''Comicbook/DoctorStrange.''
23** At one point while exploring Mikey's mind, the other three boys end up in a room with a black and white floor, red curtains, and a backwards speaking figment of Mikey. Clearly a reference to the Red Room scenes from Twin Peaks.
24* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: During the climax, the turtles (and the episode as a whole) let Inner-Mikey know he already has an advantage against the Neutrinos: he's highly imaginative. His brothers may have previously looked down on him in the past, but they know the Neurtrinos don't stand a chance against Mikey's boundless imagination.
