The Catwoman from Channel Six - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When Irma meets the disguised Turtles at the subway station, Irma speed-talks her explanation of April's situation. Mikey then tells Irma, "Rewind that and play it back at normal speed," as he raises his right arm, with his left hand in his trench coat pocket; the newsstand is missing in this closeup as well. It cuts to a wide shot, and now it's Mikey's left arm raised in the air (also note his orange wristband is missing).

Character mistake: Throughout the entire series, the Turtles are referred to, by others and by themselves, as amphibians. But turtles are reptiles, not amphibians. However they are amphibious, amphibious reptiles.

Hot-Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X - S1-E4

Other mistake: General Traag's weather weapon causes a blizzard across the city, yet when the Turtles and the Neutrinos come up to the surface after the blizzard had been occurring for a while, none of the cars parked on the street, including the Neutrinos' two flying convertibles, are covered in snow. The interior of their cars should have been full of snow.

Continuity mistake: The watch on Irma's left wrist repeatedly appears or disappears between shots, as well as mid-shot, and it even switches to her right wrist. Two examples: at the subway station, Irma walks toward the Turtles, and her watch switches from her right wrist to her left; when Irma finally meets her "dream man," the "hunky Splinter guy" in the sewer lair, her watch vanishes.

Other mistake: After Shredder transports Bebop and Rocksteady back to his lair, he joins them on the transporter platform. Shredder then demands to know the exact location of the TMNT hiding place. When Rocksteady mutters, "And then, umm, we went that way," both Shredder and Bebop partly step off the transporter platform, so they're partially standing in mid-air.

Other mistake: When Irma finds April's Turtlecom and fortuitously contacts the Turtles, Leo answers the call and holds up the communicator in his right hand. The problem is that in the close-ups of Leo's open communicator, the animation of his wrist area is not complete, so his hand looks disembodied. Additionally, after Leonardo answers the Turtlecom call from Irma, she asks, "Who are you?" and in the next shot of the Turtlecom Irma is holding up, we see Raphael moving his lips as he says, "I'm Leonardo."

Continuity mistake: Shredder thinks, "Those idiots have learned their lesson," so he transports Bebop and Rocksteady back to his lair. Bebop's wristwear switches to opposite sides; the chain bracelet is now on his right wrist, and the studded wristband is on his left wrist, then both return to their proper wrists. This happens again when Shredder makes the crack about his cheap mutant labor.

Continuity mistake: After the beloved TV is destroyed during the fight at the sewer lair, when Rocksteady attempts to help Bebop he's stopped by Mikey, but as Rocksteady smashes into the wall, his bandoleer and other strap have switched to opposite sides, then revert to their proper positions.

Shredder: You have a brilliant brain, Krang.
Krang: Of course. It's all I really am.
