The Turtles and Splinter win a trip to Europe... but wind up riding in a crate with the Turtle Van. Once ashore they head for Paris. Meanwhile, Krang devises a giant electromagnet to pull the Technodrome free of its dinky Dimension X asteroid, using the Eiffel Tower in Paris as a giant antenna.

Shredder uses a time machine to travel back to Ancient Japan in the year 1583. He plans to defeat Hamato Koji, the man who founded the Foot Clan, and Splinter's great ancestor, for if Hamato Koji is defeated, then Master Splinter would never have been born and the Turtles would forever remain ordinary turtles.
