Anyway, Mirage TMNT Volume 4 had the turtles in their 30s, but in their normal appearances, they looked exactly the same as they did as teenagers. I think maybe they were going with the "negligibly senescent" characteristic of most turtle species&mdash;they don't show signs of age as they age.

But in 2K12, Mikey clearly said he was still 15.

I think the writers may have had an error!
