The Scarab Lives! - S1-E1

Plot hole: There is a "scarab alarm" when the blue scarab arrives, Shaggy even comments on hearing this. The problem is, The Blue Scarab is a comic book, so the villain and Shaggy wouldn't know what the Scarab alarm sounded like.

Suggested correction: "Wirewolf" originally aired on October 28, 2000 while "Revenge of the Monsters" originally aired on November 14, 2000. In the context of the show, there's no continuity mistake. When they reordered the show and put them into Season 1 and Season 2, the first 7 episodes of season 2 are out of order (according to original air date). For example, s02e01 aired after s01e14.

Even though "Revenge of the Monsters" aired on November 14, 2000, and as a season one episode, the episode "Wirewolf" is a Season two episode so it still constitutes as a continuity error.

No. You missed the point completely. "Wirewolf" was produced BEFORE (production code 011) "Revenge of the Monsters" (production code 045). Therefore, there is no continuity error for the show. The order of the episodes were then later changed, which isn't the fault of the show. If you watch the episodes in order they were produced instead of the order they're listed in IMDB, there isn't a mistake.

However in the next shot Gravekeeper's Spear is replaced with Magician of Black Chaos, which Chief neither has in his deck or ever played in the match. (00:13:35)

Worlds Collide: Part 3 - S3-E6

Plot hole: In their previous encounters with the Triceratons, the Turtles had to learn the hard way that the Triceratons breathe not oxygen but a combination of nitrogen and sulfur, which is detrimental to most Earth lifeforms, and thus had to wear special rebreathers. When the Turtles, Splinter, April and Casey enter Zanramon's throne room along with Traximus, none of them wear any breathing equipment to protect themselves from the hostile atmosphere.
