Yeah no not everything has to make logical sense and I don't even really care how shredder would GET to the turtles it's just the fact that for his friendship if he were a dlc character it'd be cool if he ate pizza with the turtles I never said if he is a dlc character he HAS to jump down a sewer to get to the turtles, that's a minor detail when I thought of the idea that's just how I imagined it, I didn't realize there were people out there that have to try to make every Mortal Kombat friendship make perfect logical sense in their head😂😂
