Smash was the sensei of the Slash for Cash Gym and leader of the Crooked Ninja Turtle Gang. Prior to Shredder's introduction, he operated a disreputable dojo.
Sparring session[]
These issues became apparent during a sparring match, which Shredder witnessed just before he made his intentions clear that he was taking over the dojo. It ends with both students hitting the mat and Smash disrespectfully declaring them "useless wimps." Not willing to even consider their failings are due to his bad instruction.
Shredder takes over[]
Shredder appeared and remarked that "the master is responsible for the students. This was a response to Smash's lack of respect for his students as well as his bad instruction. He then threatened Smash by shredding one of the dojo's body bags. He quickly realized Shredder's ability and surrendered control of the dojo. Much like he had done in his native Japan after deposing his old sensei Hamato Yoshi, Saki trained the human students in Foot Clan style martial arts in order to be able to commit crimes. However, unlike Yoshi, Saki did see potential in Smash, arguably because his corrupt nature was in tune with his own, and kept him on as second sensei. When the students perfected Foot Clan moves, Shredder pronounced them ready for action as the Crooked Ninja Turtle Gang in order to ruin the already-shaky reputation of the real TMNT. Smash would act as the street leader and gave each of the students a crude turtle outfit as the gang uniform "when we strike." Shredder endorsed this by replying, "And strike we shall!" After committing some robberies, the Crooked Ninja Turtle Gang confronted the TMNT. After defeating the gang members, Smash sheepishly said, "No hard feelings, right, guys?" to the Turtles. Leonardo replied, "Right!" and he and the other Turtles restrained Smash by binding his arms and legs. They then demanded to know Shredder's location, and Smash said he is waiting for the at the Slash for Cash dojo. What happened to Smash after that is unknown, although it is likely him and the defeated members of the Crooked Ninja Turtle Gang were found by the NYPD and taken into custody for their earlier robberies.
His final fate was fitting as it gave the appearance of being confined to a pillory, which was a punishment for lawbreakers in Colonial America whose offenses were deemed too light to warrant imprisonment, instead being subject to restraint for a period of time, which could range from hours to days. Said convicts were often subject to public humiliation. Return of the Shredder
Facing the rabbit[]
Years later, Smash and a couple of his gang members attempted to break into a facility, but they were confronted by Usagi Yojimbo. At first, Smash and his crew mocked and laughed at him, but Usagi knocked them out easily. TMNT/Usagi Saturday Morning Adventures
