HEY, KID, YOU'RE   A LONG WAY   FROM NICKTOONS!

Some TMNT stuff was always meant for grownups.

Sid Jones was on the wrong track, had a penchant for gambling and had to resort to theft to keep his debt afloat. Finally, one day Sid appeared at his grandparents Northampton house with his buddies to search for money Sid believed was buried there by Casey's grandparents. At the time Sid appeared, April, Casey, and the Turtles were living there after a particularly brutal attack from the Shredder. Attempting to take over the house and find the money that was stashed there, he and his friends endangered the lives of April and the Turtles, Sid and his friends were repulsed by Casey and Turtles and rendered harmless, while Sid had to learn to his bitter disappointment that the treasure which he had so long been chasing like mad, no longer existed.

Later he would give his cousin and April trouble again, when he joined the Foot Clan and lead Karai and the Foot to the Jones family farmhouse in Northampton, Massachusetts where they promptly ruined Casey and April's private engagement party. The ninjas steal the ring in Casey's possession because Sid believes it to be the magical talisman that Karai is seeking. When the ring is discovered not to be the sought after object in the end, Karai ordered the Foot Mystics to punish him. The Mystics proceed to use various magical torture methods on Sid, but despite their best efforts, they couldn't kill him. He was cursed from then on to spend his days as a disfigured gnome in a cell of the Foot Clan Headquarters. Clutching the ring, Sid realizes that it was never the Heartstone that granted immortality, but the ring-itself.

2003 series

The circumstances in which Sid is presented in this series correspond largely to the Mirage comic book. In the 2003 TV series, Sid was looking for the buried treasure in the farm because he had to pay back the gambling debt he owed the Purple Dragons. Casey and April selflessly helped to cancel his debt with the Dragons. Cousin Sid

Back to the Sewer

Sid changed for the better and returned to the farm house as a guest at April and Casey's wedding. Casey's mother explained that she told him about Casey and April's "friends", and that if he told anybody about them, she'd bust his kneecaps. Sid later participated in the general brawl that broke out following the Cyber Shredder and the Foot Clan's attack on the wedding.
