History[]
The Maze of Death debuted in "Minotaur Maze". While exploring Run of the Mill Pizza, Leonardo stumbled upon the maze's entrance guarded by Señor Hueso. Wanting to be a champion and impress his brothers, Leo decided to enter his brothers and himself in the maze to solve it. However, he didn't disclose to them beforehand the maze's potentially lethal nature nor its rule against the use of mystic powers. The Turtles struggled to progress in the maze, but eventually came across a group of kitchen-themed foes who attacked them. Once Raphael attempted to use his Mystic Punch Jutsu against them, Leo was forced to tell his brothers that the maze forbade mystic powers. Soon after defeating their adversaries, the Turtles were caught in a trap where spike-embedded walls closed in to slowly compress its victims as several bursts of flame fired. Although greatly reluctant, Leo succumbed to his brothers' pressure to use his mystic ōdachi to teleport them to safety. The Turtles unintentionally teleported to the maze's center, where Leo quickly claimed its prize, the World's Greatest Pizza, for him and his brothers. However, their celebration was disrupted by the maze's assistant manager who knew of their illegal use of mystic powers and captured them in her mystic vines, seeking to punish them. Leo was able to appeal to her pride and demean her acclaimed pizza by comparing it to other pizza, distracting her from destroying them as she sought to prove to them her pizza lived up to its name by feeding them it. This allowed the Turtles to get away with only a photograph of them outside of the maze on the Maze of Death cheaters wall as punishment.
