Added example(s)


* DistinctionWithoutADifference: The Gloves' powers seem to be entirely situational, transforming them to something that will help them in their current situation, but Floyd describes the "mystery power" (marked by a question mark in the visor's interface) as doing the exact same thing without specifying what makes it any different from the other powers.



* FadSuper: Cyber is the number one word of this show. The show runs on an extremely primitive idea of virtual reality. However, Cyberland doesn't quite match the connotations implied, being a rural desert land full of hay.
* FourManBand: The Cyberkids are made up of Kyle, TheLeader, Ian, TheSmartGuy, Danica, TheHeart, and Zak.

to:

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The Pilot contains a good amount of this:
** A few of the Kidz' lines are dubbed over in post, which doesn't happen in any other episodes.
** Quix would chitter incessantly between sentences, which was severely toned down in later episodes.
** The Kidz' visor interfaces aren't visible in the shot where they "fall" into Cyberland for the first time.
* FadSuper: Cyber is the number one word of this show. The show runs on an [[{{Zeerust}} extremely primitive primitive]] idea of virtual reality. However, Cyberland doesn't quite match the connotations implied, being a rural desert land full of hay.
* FourManBand: The Cyberkids are made up of Kyle, TheLeader, Ian, TheSmartGuy, Danica, TheHeart, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Zak.]]


Added DiffLines:

* OncePerEpisode: Each time the Cyberkidz fall into Cyberland, [[DifferentInEveryEpisode they pick a different way to safely descend.]]
** Most episodes feature the Kidz bringing their Gloves together and yelling, "In the power of the Glove!"


Added DiffLines:

* RhymesOnADime: Zorak and Zeist do this throughout the second episode, [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment which is never elaborated upon or ever done again.]]
** "My name's Quix, and I'm good with bricks!"


Added DiffLines:

** When Zeist is demonstrating the Gigazoid in "Gigazoid Brainstorm", two different people walk directly in front of it without even acknowledging it, conveniently allowing it to use them to demonstrate its capabilities.

Added DiffLines:

* AbortedArc: The first few episodes establish that Zorak wants the power of the Gloves for himself, either by taking Floyd's or by stealing one of the kids' Gloves. That being said, numerous times Zorak has the kids at his mercy but he doesn't make any mention of his goals. Most notable is ''Death Arena Blues'' in which he brainwashes Kyle with his evil music.
