Scrapped idea

The original plot had the previous antagonist Zarok being held prisoner in the Tower of London and Sir Daniel Fortesque's objective would be to free and team up with him, but this idea was eventually dropped due to it being considered identical to a "B-movie twist ending".

True form

Q-bee's true form is only shown when she's electrocuted (and during her intro). She is the only character to have her Pharaoh's Curse form look similar to her true self. This could imply that all Q-bee's are secretly like this or that she is very small exception and needs a suit to help her look bigger.

Tremors!

The Undeep bears a resemblance to the Graboids from the movie Tremors and act like the sandworm in Dune

Perché nessuno pensa ai bambini?

The game, along with all the other Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles merchandise at the time, was renamed Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles in most of Europe. This was due to the British government being strongly against violence in products marketed for children, including things such as ninjas. Despite this change originating from the UK it affected many other countries as well.

Strane richieste

According to a game modeller that worked on the game who goes under the alias "Zanzibar", the grey-skinned alien guards found in the Tatooine levels were originally meant to be Gamorrean Guards. LucasFilm, however, for reasons unknown, requested that they be changed saying, "Lose the Gamorrean Guards. Make them something else." The grey-skinned alien guards were designed by LucasArts artist Martin Yee.
