| Season chronology | |
The seventh season of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles chronologically begins where Episode 142 left off. The Technodrome is still located at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean until the last episode, when it is sent back to Dimension X. However the sideseason takes place during season 4, while the Technodrome is on the Volcanic Asteroid in Dimension X. These episodes were produced before Season 4 and aired in 1993 on the USA Cartoon Express. In Europe, they aired in 1992.
The more educational-based nature of the "Vacation in Europe" episodes allowed the use of using Christian references. For example, Leonardo da Vinci's painting The Last Supper is seen in "Artless", set in Italy, while "Ring of Fire", set in Portugal, shows a Roman Catholic cathedral, complete with crosses, while crosses in general are avoided in the codes of US children's cartoons otherwise.
After winning a free European vacation, the Turtles journey to Paris, France. Meanwhile, Shredder, Rocksteady and Bebop are planning to steal metal from the Eiffel Tower in order to power up the Technodrome.
Title Reference: Tower of Power
Villain: Shredder
Note: Throughout this season Raphael is voiced by Hal Rayle instead of Rob Paulsen.
Still in Paris, the Turtles & Master Splinter visit the Louvre. Meanwhile, due to Shredder's incompetence, Krang's new Hyper Rocket Thruster becomes a Rust Encruster, with which he plans to oxidize the world's famous landmarks & monuments, unless world leaders use their power reserves to bring the Technodrome back to Earth.
