It was supposed to be a rip off, I think, well more of a send up of the turtles, the similarities were intentional.

In one episode the turtles actually made a brief appearance. :blink:

I can't remember exactly what the linkage was, but pizza was an obvious one and they had similar sorts of moves etc. Dude. Didn't they get fired cannon-ball stylee to get to trouble scenes?

it was't turtles in cat suits though, probably took the idea of creatures doing martial arts from turtles but that was all, probably the name was deliberate too, ninja and samurai are opposites, one have no honour and are assasins (ninja) and others do have honour and are protectors (samurai)
song meantions the turtles in refernce of the cats being better, but as things go, it was very japanese - martial arts, excagerated emotions, giant monsters
no foot clan, space aliens and sewers in it :P

Doesn't sound like the turtles tho...

Whats the turtles reference in the theme tune? I've never seen this (and I'm probably glad I didn't!)

Funny, innit? How Samurai Pizza Cats was a send up of the turtles and the turtles was originally a send up of comic book heros like the x-men, then they end up getting mocked in the same way :laugh1:

But Turtles rules! :D

The only link I can see with the Turtles are the various parodies in the show. I don't think it was a direct rip off, more of a wink and a nod to the Turtles really.
