* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:Mrs. Quantum]], the boss of Dendy's buggy sidequest, can only be fought after completing the main story.

Originally ''Lakewood Plaza Turbo'', a short that premiered as one of Creator/CartoonNetwork's minisodes, it was expanded into a series of shorts and an app game with the name now changed to ''OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes''. The minisodes were animated by various studios, including Creator/ScienceSARU, Creator/StudioYotta, Creator/MoiAnimation[=/=]Creator/MuaFilm, and Creator/PowerhouseAnimationStudios. On August 1, 2017, it premiered as a full-length series on the network, with Creator/StudioTrigger providing the storyboards for the opening sequence and animation production duties alternating between Creator/DigitalEMation and Creator/SunminAnimation.

** "We've Got Pests" has the lessons that Following trends is fine, but you shouldn't let them replace your own personality. Even though the pests were total Jerkasses to her, Enid recognized that they were simply confused and [[ArmorPiercingQuestion asked them who they think they are]]. They didn't know. After some self-reflection, all three decided to drop the "trendy" facade, [[EarnYourHappyEnding becoming successful and respected members of society]].

On June 14, 2019, a few weeks ahead of the premiere of season three, Dana Snyder (the voice of [[Characters/OKKOLetsBeHeroesPOINT Doctor Greyman]]) said on Website/{{Reddit}} that production on the series [[https://twitter.com/CNschedules/status/1139633844519362561 has ended]], with creator Jones-Quartey [[https://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/animation/282687/how-the-sonic-the-hedgehog-ok-ko-team-up-happened later confirming it]]. The GrandFinale aired on September 6, 2019.

* SpecialEditionTitle: Few episodes have these such as Monster Party and TKO rules for example

* SpitTake: Rad does one in "My Dad Can Beat Up Your Dad!" when K.O says he doesn't have a dad.
** "Big Reveal" does this three times, First when Carol tells K.O that Laserblast is his father, second time where Venomous notices the helmet and third time where K.O calls for Carol's help.

* OffModel: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]]. While the show does utilize model sheets and reference materials just as much as any other cartoon, it regularly deviates from them for the sake of comedy, with the main inspiration for this approach being ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog''. The general rule is, [[https://twitter.com/ianjq/status/875766265066921984 the characters are 'on model' as long as they're still recognizable.]]

* MainCharacterFinalBoss : The last opponent in the story is [[spoiler:T.K.O., K.O.'s SuperpoweredEvilSide gone rogue.]]

* RandomPowerRanking: POW Cards display a character's level, states, and/or achievements. As the series rolls on some characters have a symbol to replace the level numbers (Sonic's Level "Ring" and Captain Planet's Level "Earth". [[spoiler: Rad reveals that level rankings aren't everything or very important, and Carla reveals near the end of the series that they never made any sense to begin with.]]

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: K.O. is a nickname. [[AllThereInTheManual According to]] ''Parking Lot Wars'', the Flash game on the Cartoon Network website, his full name is Kaio Kincaid, which has been stated by Ian J. Quarterly to be canon for the main series.

** In the present day, Carol and Mr. Gar start dating in the TimeSkip between Seasons 1 and 2, and have a fairly steady, solid relationship throughout the rest of the series for the most part (minus a BreakUpMakeUpScenario in the Season 2 finale). [[spoiler:At the end of the series, [[TheyDo they get married]].]]

* TheyDo: [[spoiler:During the series finale, many characters are shown getting married - Nick Army and Joff, Potato and Colewort, and Carol and Gar - while Boxman and Venomous are shown with matching rings.]]

** K.O. is "6-11", as apparently are his classmates like Dendy. This even makes it into the actual show, as when K.O. learns that his mother quit being a superhero 6-11 years ago, he exclaims that's exactly how old he is.

** The robots are listed as "robo-[age group]". Jethro and Mikayla are "robo-kids", Shannon, Darrell and Raymond are "robo-teens", and Ernesto is a "robo-adult". The exception is Mr. Logic, whose age is "???"

* StockSoundEffects: The show relies heavily on sound effect libraries from Creator/HannaBarbera and Creator/{{Filmation}} plus a few other effects like the bionic sound from ''Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan'', the TIE fighter sound from ''Franchise/StarWars'', and the RedAlert sound from ''Franchise/StarTrek''.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: K.O. is a nickname. [[AllThereInTheManual According to]] ''Parking Lot Wars'', the Flash game on the Cartoon Network website, his full name is Kaio Kincaid, although this may not be canon for the main series.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: Certainly applies to a lot of characters in the show, such as "Professor Venomous", "Mad Sam", "Dynamite Watkins", and the list could go on. Tends to overlap with the [[AerithAndBob more exotic names]].

* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:Miss Quantum]], the boss of Dendy's buggy sidequest, can only be fought after completing the main story.

* CastFullOfGay: The show has a very diverse cast of LGBT characters: Enid and Venomous are bisexual, Red Action is a lesbian, Boxman is pansexual, the Hue Troops are all LGBT+, Gregg is non-binary, Nick and Joff are a gay couple, Rad and Raymond are ''both'' queers and there are a number of AmbiguouslyGay or AmbiguouslyBi characters (such as Elodie, RMS, Brandon, Pastel, and Koala Princess.)

%%* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters

* PowerMakesYourHairGrow: This happens when a character enters their Turbo form, as their hair gets much wilder and more [[AnimeHair anime-like]] as well as growing longer to at least some extent. In some cases, the growth itself isn't ''too'' much longer (like with Turbo Fink, who already has RapunzelHair in her normal state, and [[spoiler:Shadowy Figure]], where it mostly just looks more unkempt but still doesn't go past his shoulders), while others go from having fairly normal-length hair to ankle-length RapunzelHair (like [[spoiler:Trad and Tenid]]). T.K.O. seems like an example of the latter, but is really a case of the former, as his natural hair length is shown to be much longer when he takes off his sweatband.

* AdultFear:
** A creepy, sinister, ObviouslyEvil man tricks your sweet-but-naive young child into following somewhere, then does something to them that traumatizes them and leaves them permanently changed, as Shadowy Figure does to K.O. by getting T.K.O. to surface (who damages the Plaza and hurts and almost kills K.O.'s family and friends). Carol even scolds K.O. for this when she finds out what happened, telling K.O. "Never follow strangers no matter who they say they are!"
** You learn that someone you once loved [[spoiler:and have thought was dead for years is actually still alive, but]] is not the person you knew anymore. What's worse, they've [[spoiler:become a criminal who has openly terrorized and attempted to hurt your child (who is ''their child too''), and is completely unapologetic about it. This is the situation Carol found herself in when she learned that Laserblast is alive...and now goes by the name of Professor Venomous]].
** A malevolent figure forces your young child to do something against their will, threatening to get rid of you if they don't comply. [[spoiler:This is what Shadowy Figure did to Fink when she found out that he was a SplitPersonality of her boss, Professor Venomous. This is why, despite knowing all along that they were the same person, she didn't tell him about this until "Let's Get Shadowy".]]

** Played with in "Big Reveal", in that the line in question is genuinely huge and changes the story in a big way, but it's casually revealed at the beginning of the episode while K.O. and Carol are eating breakfast.

* WouldHurtAChild: Some villains, especially Boxman and Boxmore robots, likes to hurt K.O. and/or Dendy very bad.

* FullyAbsorbedFinale: The episode "A Hero's Fate" serves as a finale for Ian Jones-Quarty's webcomic ''WebComic/RPGWorld''

* Interspecies Romance: Several.

* KitschyLocalCommercial: The entirety of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0nb6HVs_t4&ab_channel=CartoonNetworkUK Boxmore Infomercial]]
