Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness is a 1985 Role-Playing Game made by Palladium Books revolving around the strange adventures of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and in later books, a post-apocalyptic, mutant-infested Earth.
The players get the opportunity to play as a variety mutated animals, having the ability to chose the species, mutations and special abilities that the character would receive. Possible characters range from tiny psychic bunnies to enormous anthropomorphic crocodiles to humanoids with almost no trace of their animal species.
The game series dropped in popularity and sales once the 1987 cartoon and live-action films rolled out, which made (from the publishers' words) 'the Turtles seem so childish that no self-respecting teenager, even if he thought the Turtles were cool, or thought the Ninja Turtle game was cool, was going to be caught dead playing it.' By 2000, Palladium Books did not renew the license, because of license costs and the perception of the TMNT.

- Animal Wrongs Group: Doctor Feral had a run in with one of these when he was younger, despite overwhelming evidence all charges were dropped.
- Awesome, yet Impractical: The Animal Speech and Animal Control Psionic Abilities. The idea of a mutant animal being able to communicate and control normal animals sounds awesome, but you can only speak to and control animals of your own kind. Great if you're a common animal like a dog, cat or mouse, but if you're a mutant lion or tiger the only places your likely to find normal versions of your own kind is the zoo or a circus. It gets even more impractical if you're using an exotic animal from one of the After The Bomb Supplements like Mutants Down Under where would a mutant numbat and normal numbats in New York City?
- Bears Are Bad News: The Terror Bears, pint sized malevolent psychic ursines, are this in spades! In something of a subversion, this is not due to physical strength, but mental.
- Blue and Orange Morality: Doctor Victor Oban Feral is 'Scrupulous' in alignment and is described as 'unfailingly polite' even to his vivisection victims. He simply does not process that uplifted animals are beings worthy of moral consideration - the game backs up this moral relativism.
- Evilutionary Biologist: Doctor Feral...Oh Dear Lord! Doctor Feral!
- For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself: In the short story comic included in the Gamebook Don't Judge a Book The Turtles weren't originally aiming for this, Mikey was dressed up as a clown, Leo was dressed up as an alien, Raph dressed up like a punk rockstar and Don was dressed as an old lady. However, burglars attempt to raid April's apartment and the Turtles have to fight them off. Their costumes are destroyed in the process, so they arrive to the party in nothing but their ninja accessories which (along with their Petting Zoo People looks) everyone assumes are their costumes.
- Little Bit Beastly: Mutants with 'Full Human Looks' – unlike the typical anime Catgirl, these characters normally just look like really ugly humans. Someone would say 'That ugly lady looks like a skunk!' instead of 'That skunk looks like a lady!'
- Simple, yet Awesome: Psionic abilities like Telepathic Transmission (Great for players who don't want to spend Bio-E on speech), Hypnotic Suggestion, Mind Trap, and all forms of Bio-Manipulation are all incredibly awesome and efficient.
- Small Taxonomy Pools: Lampshaded in the book as this was done for both reasons of space and the game designer's mental health, Animals that are very similar are sometimes lumped together. For example, coyotes and wolves fall under 'Wild Canines', and eagles, hawks, and falcons are all 'Wild Predatory Birds', with only slight differences between them (i.e., since a coyote is smaller then a wolf, it has more Bio-E to spend).
- Super Senses: The Super Senses one could acquire were Advanced Vision, Night Vision, Ultraviolet Light Advanced Hearing, Sonar, Advanced Smell and Advanced Touch
- What Measure Is a Non-Human?: A human character (Doctor Feral) is considered a morally good person despite considering sentient animals to be fair game for vivisection. Mutant animals that turn on humanity in revenge for humans' actions against them (such as experimental subjects like the Terror Bears), however, are considered evil.
- Playing With Syringes: Doctor Feral is probably half the reason Mutants have to have a Masquerade in the first place! Seriously, did they base half of Bishop's character off this guy?note
