Now available on DVD from Nickelodeon is Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Super Shredder, featuring the final seven of the episodes from the fourth season of the current TMNT series, as well as the first four episodes from the fifth season, retitled "Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." There are no special features or extras on the two-disc set.

The final episodes of the fourth season introduces the turtles (Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo) to the Supper Shredder, aka the mutated version of Shredder, who is determined to destroy the turtles and their master Splinter once and for all. By the season's end, Shredder finally gets his revenge; all leading to a final deadly confrontation with the turtles.

Other storylines during the season includes the turtle's human friend April O'Neil becoming possessed with the evil spirit Aeon in "The Power Inside Her"; an alien named Tokka arrives on Earth looking for her baby boy in "Tokka VS. The World"; and a fox-mutant name Alopex comes to New York City to kill Tiger Claw in "Tale Of Tiger Claw."

The fifth and final season has a new opening theme song and title sequence, and has been renamed to "Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." The first four episodes are included on the second discs. The main plot of the episodes involves Tiger Claw summoning the demon Kavaxas (voiced by Mark Hamill) in the attempt to resurrect Shredder from the dead. Of course the turtles and their pals will do anything they can to save the day.

The eleven episodes on the two-disc set are:

The Supper Shredder
Darkest Plight
The Power Inside Her
Tokka VS.The World
Tale Of Tiger Claw
Requiem
Owari
Scroll Of The Demodragon
The Forgotten Swordsman
Heart Of Evil
End Times

Final Thoughts 

The fourth season of Nickelodeon series has been a very odd one. The first half of the season was set in outer space and it was dragged out from the fall of 2015 to the spring of 2016. The second half of the season didn't return until August w016 and it was only for five episodes. The first three episodes on this DVD release originally aired in November and the rest of the season aired in February of this year.

As an older fan, I was a little annoyed that it took a year and half to air one 26-episode season. Nevertheless, I am glad Nickelodeon didn't wait too long to release the final season four episodes to DVD. Additionally, the first four episodes of the final season "Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" are also on the DVD set. As of the today, the four epispdes "End Times" is the only one that hasn't aired on television in the United States. These episodes tie-in with the"Super Shredder" storyline. Spoiler Warning: The four episodes officially ends the villain Shredder, and it also gives a heartwarming final goodbye for Splinter.

Overall, I have enjoyed watching all the episodes on the Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Super Shredder DVD. The computer-animation is excellent and the stories are well-written.
