Notes

  • Turtle Power was re-released on the third Ninja Turtles soundtrack.
  • Both parts of Splinter's Tale differ from what was heard in the film.
    • Part I Splinter pauses after he says "...she persuaded Yoshi to flee with me to America" and picks up after an instrumental interlude with "But Saki vowed vengeance...".
    • Part II features more dialog from the newly mutated infant turtles with a different voice actor.
  • Turtle Rhapsody does not feature any of Raphael's dialog from the film.
  • When the soundtrack was released on cassette, the cassette was available in red, blue, orange, and purple - the four mask colors of the Turtles. Subsequent releases were in black.
  • The soundtrack came with a sticker with art by Peter Laird of the turtles on a rooftop preparing to fight the Foot Soldiers that have them completely surrounded. This was eventually used as the cover art for both the comic book adaptation and the Game Boy game Fall of the Foot Clan. Both were released in 1990.
  • A lyric in Turtle Power states Raphael as the leader, as opposed to Leonardo whom the 1987 cartoon theme song attributes the position to.
  • Shredder's Suite was used by Shredder and the Foot Soldiers and WWE Wrestler Crush used the alternate title called Foot Clan
