== Trivia ==
* Instead of brown pads and belts the Ninja Turtles now have pads and belts of their respective colour.
* According to a behind the scenes video, the show focuses on the Turtles "before they started their career as crime fighters".
* This is the first time April O'Neil is officially portrayed as black, but not the first concept of April as non-white. The original Mirage was inspired by a biracial woman Kevin Eastman once dated, and her ethnic appearance in early issues was ambiguous and in a state of flux, but was later more consistently portrayed with a Caucasian appearance.
* Raphael is the oldest turtle and leader of the TMNT for the first time instead of Leonardo. As stated by the voice actors, the new order of the turtles (from eldest to youngest) is now: Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo, and Michelangelo.
* This is the first time that each turtle are a different species from one another:
** Raphael is an alligator snapping turtle.
** Donatello is a spiny softshell turtle.
** Leonardo is a red-eared slider turtle.
** Michelangelo is an ornate box turtle.
* This is the second series in which a Turtle utilizes tonfas as a weapon, with Raphael using them in place of his double sais, the first being Michelangelo in Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation.
** Leonardo and Michelangelo also don't use their traditional weapons in this series. For instance, Leonardo wields an Ōdachi sword instead of double Katana blades, and Mikey wields a kusari-fundo instead of double nunchaku.
** It is revealed in "Mystic Mayhem" that the Turtles were given their original weapons by Splinter, only for them to be destroyed by Baron Draxum's guardsmen in the same episode. They originally find replacements in Draxum's weapons vault, but they take their new mystic weapons instead. Donnie was offered a new weapon, but chose to stick with his bo staff, which he had technologically enhanced into a tech bo.
* Unlike previous incarnations, the Turtles are all in different agesRise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Ninja Power (D. Lewman, 2018):
**Raphael is 15 years old.
** Donatello and Leonardo are 14 years old.
**Michelangelo is 13 years old.
* This is the first time in any incarnation of the Turtles that some or all of the Turtles consistently call themselves or each other by nicknames other then their most common and well-known ones; Leo calls himself 'Leon' and Mikey is called 'Michael' twice by Donatello, and ‘Miguel’ once by Leonardo.
* "Mystic Mayhem", the pilot episode, premiered as a sneak preview of the series on July 20th, 2018, after Nickelodeon's Kid's Choice Sports.
*This is the first series to not initially show how the Turtles and April first met. It is also the first series to not include The Shredder right away.
*This is also the first series to have an extended edition of its theme song. The extended version was released on September 11th, 2018, and after two days the theme song had over 100,000 views.
*Unlike previous incarnations, these Turtles have powers which they gained from their new mystic weapons (except for Donnie, whose weapon is technological):
** Raph has a power called Smash-jutsu.
** Mikey has a power called mystic whip.
** Leo has the power to create portals.
* There was a DVD released on March 12th, 2019, with seven early episodes.
** a second DVD will be coming out February 4th 2020, though not much is known about it yet.
* Unlike past incarnations, the Turtles have a (partially) biological relationship with Splinter by sharing his DNA.
* Rise of the Teenage Mutant Turtles is available to watch on Netflix (Canada).
