A [[NeedsMoreLove misunderstood]] and [[RuleOfCool fun]] animated show on [[WaltDisney Toon Disney]], for their Jetix block, about a teenager named Chiro who finds a Super Robot with a set of 5 robot monkeys locked inside. He is made the leader and together they fight Skeleton King, who wants to [[TakeOverTheWorld take over their home planet of Shuggazoom.]]

This show now has [[Characters/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo a character sheet]].

* ActionGirl: Nova and Jinmay.
* AffectionateParody: The whole series is one to the SuperRobot and {{Sentai}} genres.
* AliensSpeakingEnglish
* AlmostDeadGuy: [[spoiler:Jinmay]] at the end of Season One. [[spoiler: She doesn't really die, though.]]
* AlmostKiss: Chiro and Jinmay in the first episode.

* AnimatedSeries
* {{Animesque}}: With an ''old-school flava''.

** Chiro and Jinmay after her TookALevelInBadass.
* BeamOWar
* BecauseDestinySaysSo: Chiro being TheChosenOne, and why the Robot Monkeys were created in the first place.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Sprx and Nova.
* BerserkButton: Nova can't ''stand'' the cold…
** Sprx is usually pretty easy-going, but mess with his friends, and his personality can take a rather scary turn. Take what happened with Mobius Quint, for instance.
*** Calling him [[EmbarrassingNickname Sparky]] isn't really a good idea, either…
* BigBad: Skeleton King.
* BigDamnHeroes: Later in the series, [[spoiler: The Super Robot]] pretty much exists to fill this role.
* BittersweetEnding: Season 2's finale, with [[spoiler: Antauri's death and Chiro becoming monkey-ish.]]
** Made even more bittersweet in the swedish dub where the series ended after that and was pulled of in such a way that it semmed like an acual ending.
* BLAMEpisode: Wonder. Fun. Meat. World. Just to name one.
** "The Hills Have 5", to name another.
* BloodlessCarnage: The Robot Monkeys are common victims of this, sometimes getting their robotic components absolutely mangled while their organic parts usually remain relatively intact.
* BodyHorror: What happens to people who eat the food from Wonder Fun Meat World.
** [[spoiler: Skele-Mandarin ends up mutated after being swallowed by the Dark One Worm and living in its stomach for a few months, disfigured by acid and with a ''claw'' having grown where his arm had been severed. [[NightmareFuel Horror]], indeed.]]
* BoobyTrap
* BraggingThemeTune: ''"Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! Fighting any evil, they are Shuggazoom's hope! Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! Defeating any foe!"''
* {{Brainwashed}}: A few times, actually.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Also a few times.
* BritishAccents: Gibson, among others.
* CallingYourAttacks: The members of the Hyperforce.
* [[CannotSpitItOut Cant Spit It Out]]: Sprx to Nova.
* CaptainErsatz: Caption Shuggazoom, aka [[{{Batman}} playboy millionaire]] Clayton Carrington.
* CatchPhrase: The team calls out the show's title before going into battle.
* ChekhovsGun: In ''Flytor'', the titular monster takes a genetic scan of Chiro with its eye. We know this is important because we see Skeleton King in possession of the eye with the scan at the end of the episode, but we're not exactly sure how it will come into play until later in ''Versus Chiro'', when we learn that [[spoiler:the eye is entrusted to Mandarin to build a factory to create Chiro clones.]]
** The Pit of Doom turns out to be a prominent ChekhovsBoomerang. The first time it becomes important after its introduction is when it becomes the location of [[spoiler: Mandarin's cloning factory]]. But in the Season Two finale, it's revealed that Skeleton King's ''real'' intention for building it all along was [[spoiler: to reach the egg of the Dark One embedded inside Shuggazoom to awaken it, hatch it, and unleash it on the rest of the universe]]. And at the end of Season Four it becomes the place where [[spoiler: Skeleton King is resurrected]]. Phew.
* TheChosenOne: Played completely straight with Chiro.
* CircusOfFear: ''Circus of Ooze''.
* CliffHanger: The series finale.
* CombiningMecha & HumongousMecha: The Super Robot itself. Partially subverted in that instead of being seperate vehicles that combine into the robot, it's a super robot that occasionally divides into vehicles.
* CollapsingLair: The Citadel of Bone, with a twist: [[spoiler: it puts itself back together]].
* CutShort: Right at a gigantic cliffhanger, too. Curse you, ToonDisney!
* CuteKitten: The Cathurians in ''The Stranded Seven''. Nova even falls in love with one of them.
* DeathByIrony
* DeathTrap
--> '''Sprx-77''': You know what these strange beacons always turn out to be? Death traps! Always some death trap…
* DeflectorShields
* DeusExMachina
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Antauri. Do we have to mention this?! [[ThisIsSparta HE. WAS. REBORN. AS. THE. SILVER. MONKEY.]] End of story.]]
** [[spoiler:Heck; Nova is thrown into a wormhole, Gibson is frozen solid, Otto is eaten, and if Sprx's symbolic death of unwillingly turning evil counts, that makes ''every member of the Monkey Team'' guilty of this at one point or another.]]
* DistressedDamsel: Jinmay, at first.
* DoAnythingRobot: The Robot Monkeys themselves have a wide range of handy gadgets built into them, from power tools to fans.
* TheDragon: Mandarin.
* DreamWithinADream
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Several occasions.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Basically the whole premise of the show
* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: The Mr. Cheepers penguin plushie. Along with the guy who carries it around, it's a notable RunningGag, especially in the first season.
* EvilCounterpart
* EvilMinions: The Formless.
* EvilOverlord: The Skeleton King.
* EvilPlan: Skeleton King has pulled a good number of these, both episodic small term plans and longer terms plots.
* ExpendableClone: A straight example with [[spoiler: Chiro's]] clones, but the idea is played with a bit with [[spoiler: Mandarin's.]] The ''characters'' don't treat the clone any differently than they would the original (hell, they might not even be aware he ''is'' a clone), but the '''show itself''' sure does. The increasingly brutal treatment he undergoes over the course of the plot might have been played a little more sympathetically had he not been a clone...
* EyeBeams
* FaceHeelTurn: Mandarin before the series began.
** And later, [[spoiler: Sprx]].
* FacialMarkings: Chiro.
* FakeDefector: [[spoiler: Otto]] in ''Meet the Wigglenog''.
* FanBoy: Gyrus Krinkle.
* FanGirl: Valina seems to be one.

** TheLancer: Antauri
** TheSmartGuy: Gibson
** TheBigGuy: Sprx
** KidAppealCharacter: Otto (also doubles as a SmartGuy)
** TheChick: Nova
** SixthRanger: Jinmay
* FunnyAnimal: The Robot Monkeys.
* GenreBlind: The Hyperforce. Seriously. Not only are they willing to simply accept their superficial victories without any suspicions about what the [[HiddenAgendaVillain villain might actually be up to]], they seem to be gullible enough to blindly believe even the most obviously suspicious characters. This is even {{Lampshaded}} by a minor character in ''Prototype'':
--> '''Chiro:''' I know all about you! How you've managed to destroy nearly everything else on this planet! [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate Dr. Takeuchi]] warned us!
--> '''Slingshot:''' Oh, really? Let's see, were you talking to a human being with a face? Or a disgusting heap of brain on a plate?
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar
--> '''Gibson:''' [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything I like doing it! It makes me feel rather tingly!]]
** You'd also think it would have been a little tougher to get Sprx's love of human women past the radar.
*** Yet he DOES prefer monkeys deep down, which amazingly only made it ''more'' disturbing when it was brought up.
----> '''Sprx:''' Man, you make one ugly chick, Chiro. But if you were a girl monkey... Woocha!
** And this subtle one…
---> '''Nova:''' I'm gonna beat the ''scrap'' out of you!
** The plot of the episode ''Girl Trouble'' revolves around Chiro riding around in a small star cruiser with two pretty (and probably older) sisters clad in tight outfits who speak to him in ''extremely'' suggestive tones. A "honking" sound effect is heard whenever they move close to him. In one scene, they start to talk to him in suggestive tones again while he is drinking a red-colored soda; he becomes flustered and [[{{Nosebleed}} a GIGANTIC red bubble forms from his nose and pops all over his face]]. Oh yeah, and Chiro is still in a relationship with Jinmay.
* HeelFaceTurn: Jinmay at the beginning, and [[spoiler: The Sun Riders]] later on.
** Also, [[spoiler: the Robo Apes in ''Ape New World'']].
* HeroicSacrifice: A non-death related example is in ''Shadow Over Shuggazoom'', when Antauri sheilded Chiro and BT from the giant eye and got himself zombiefied as a result.
* HeteroSexualLifePartners: BT and Glenny.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: Skeleton King. He attempts a lot of short-lived {{Evil Plan}}s beforehand, but we don't find out what he's ''really'' after until the end of Season Two…
* {{Homage}}: In a large part to ''StarWars''.
** Anybody else find the concept of [[MommasBoy Gyrus]] [[{{Yandere}} Krinkle's]] controlling/shrill mother [[DeadAllAlong turning out to be a robot]] just a ''little'' reminiscent of [[{{Psycho}} something else?]]
* HumanAliens
* HumanPopsicle: The citizens of Shuggazoom are turned into these in ''Snowbound''.
* IfMyCalculationsAreCorrect: Gibson.
* IndyPloy: Utilized a few times. The episode ''World of Giants'' is basically one big IndyPloy orchestrated by Sprx.
* InfiniteSupplies: Partially averted. The team seems to make routine trips to Shuggazoom's moon in order to harvest rocks to convert into fuel for the Super Robot. They were also shown nearly running out of fuel in one instance and had to stop to refuel at an intergalatic truck stop. Other than that, though, the trope is played pretty straight.
* IWasQuiteALooker: Captain Shuggazoom was quite handsome in his days as a superhero.
* KickTheDog: Mandarin does this [[spoiler:to Nova]] ''before'' his FaceHeelTurn.
* KidHero: Chiro.
* KillerSpaceMonkey: The Super Robot Monkeys. Although they're technically the good guys (for the most part), they're pretty relentless when it comes to doing away with their enemies.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: [[spoiler:"Oh no! Antauri dies?! ...Wait, who's the silver monkey everybody keeps drawing?"]]
* LoonyFan: Gyrus Krinkle.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: The Skeleton King was the creator and "father" of the Monkey Team, before his StartOfDarkness.]]
** There's also a popular fan theory that [[spoiler: the Alchemist was Chiro's father, considering we [[ParentalAbandonment never see his parents at all]]]]
* MakeAWish
* MeaningfulEcho: [[spoiler:"No monkey team member is ever alone."]]
* MeaningfulName: Chiro translates to "hero" in Japanese, Sprx uses electrical attacks, Otto is a mechanic and Nova is an explosion caused by a dying star… guess what happens when Nova unleashes her UnstoppableRage?
** Not to metion Gibson's first name might be a reference to ''TwoThousandAndOneASpaceOdyssey''.
* MilkmanConspiracy: An evil cult that worships Skeleton King turns out to be led by none other than [[spoiler: the elderly owners of the local arcade]].
* MindRape: Not really, but Antauri suffers mundane torture in the episode "Ghost in the Machinder".
** Antauri, Sprx, Nova, and Otto are similarly tortured in "Skeleton King" by Mandarin.
** The ''Hyperforce'' minds rapes Gryus Krinkle in "Incident On Ranger 7".
** Valina does this to Mandarin to make him tell her where [[spoiler: Skeleton King's skull is hidden]]. This is arguably one of the more blatantly terrifying examples, as we actually get to ''see'' what she's mind raping him with.
* TheMole: Jinmay, at first.
* {{Mooks}}: The Formless Minions. There are many different kind of Formless, and some classify as [[GiantMook Giant Mooks]].

* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Otto says this almost verbatim in one episode, and that's the least of it.

* QuirkyMinibossSquad: The Sun Riders.
* QuiveringEyes
* RecapEpisode: ''The Skeleton King Threat''.

* RelationshipUpgrade: [[spoiler:Sprx and Nova]].
* RelationshipVoiceActor: GregCipes and AshleyJohnson are paired up as a potential couple, again. Thank goodness the girl did not wind up as an [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans actual mole in the end]].

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Thingy.

* {{Sentai}}
* [[ShesAManInJapan She's A Man In America]]: Sakko was dubbed in some countries as female.
* ShoutOut: If you look closely, i.e., Chiro's uniform is exactly the same one that Joe/009 wore in the first {{Cyborg 009}} series, the black and white one.
** Not to mention that [[spoiler:the reborn Skeleton King]] bears a striking resemblance to [[StarWars Darth Vader]].
** The sound effects inside the Super Robot are straight from StarTrek.
** The Black castle rising up, in the last episode, looks remarkably similar to the ending of Viewtiful Joe 2.

* StalkerShrine: While exploring the [[spoiler:Citadel of Bone]], Gibson and Chiro come across a room filled with Chiro's childhood possessions, including his grade school uniform. The following exchange takes place in response:
--> '''Gibson''': Well, that's extremely disturbing.
--> '''Chiro''': ''Tell me about it''.
* StatusQuoIsGod: Maybe in the first two seasons, but after ''I, Chiro''? ''A-VERTED.'' And [[spoiler:now that Antauri is the silver monkey,]] we'll never forget it.
