Other mistake: The turtles are racing to save April, who is kidnapped by Shredder, and trying to get to the roof. They run into a squad of the royal guards and one of the guards shouts: "Halt! Hands in the air or we'll open fire!" Now, I would like to see that because every one of the guards is holding a sword. (00:14:00)

1 other mistake in April's Fool
Starring: Cam Clarke, Townsend Coleman, Barry Gordon, Renae Jacobs
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.
Rupert The Turtle: When that thing gets close to capacity... Kabloo-hoo-hoo-hooey.
All: Kabloo-hoo-hoo-hooey?
Hot-Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X - S1-E4
Question: Back in the day when I was a little kid, I used to own a handful of VHS copies of some episodes of this series, and something that always stuck out with me was that on the covers of some, the turtle's weapons were changed in color. I don't remember for sure which ones, but I remember one example that I believe was on the cover for Hot Rodding Teenagers, Leonardo's swords were solid red. Bright red. Like they were made of plastic or something and looked like toys. Why did they do that for the cover? Was it really such an issue to show metal weapons on a kid's cartoon that was full of them anyways?

Chosen answer: No, that's just the kind of mistake that gets made when you contract a foreign company completely unfamiliar with the product in question to produce your marketing materials as cheaply as possibly.
