35* TheBusCameBack: Vlad Masters finally appears in "Shadow of the Past". His absence from the Syndicate explained by him retiring after [[spoiler: losing his ghost half to Dark Dan Phantom]].
36** Dani returns in "Return of Phantom". Her absence is explained as her traveling around the world.

52* DrowningMySorrows: Jimmy does this after finding out that he was the only one who didn't recognize Maxwell as his son.
53* EmotionalPowers: It is heavily implied that Darry's ghost powers are linked to his emotions since upon receiving shadow controlling powers, it negatively affected his personality, his Ghost Rage is triggered by his anger, and he loses his powers upon feeling a lack of confidence. And according to [[spoiler: Vlad]], his Ghost Rage was brought upon by him bottling up the negative emotions he was always feeling.
54* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Crash's "secret" crush on Yuki is known by everyone, except [[ObliviousToLove Yuki]] herself.
55* EvilCostumeSwitch: When [=SpongeTron=] joins with [=DarkEvil=], he is in his robotic appearance instead of his cloaking skin that makes him look like a younger [=SpongeBob=], mirroring his first appearance when he was a crazed robot seeking revenge against his creators.

60* ForcedToWatch: As part of his plan to torture Jimmy into telling him Danny's secret, [=DarkEvil=] forces Jimmy to watch as he orders the [=SpongeCog=] robots to smash Goddard to bits. It's enough to break Jimmy into telling him everything.

116* OneSteveLimit: Played with. Jimmy had considered naming his son after Thomas Edison, but immediately reconsiders when he realizes that he would share the same first name as Tommy.
117** The reason Future Max goes by his full name "Maxwell" is to avoid confusion with his one-year-old self.
118* OriginsEpisode: "Nicktoon Genesis" is one for the Nicktoons, and "Nicktoon Genesis 2" is one for the Nicktoon Cadets.
119* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: [=SpongeTron=] becomes a robot version of a werewolf in "Curse of the Wirebot".
120* PapaWolf: All the adult Nicktoons certainly qualify as this. [=SpongeBob=] notably shows this during a flashback in "Nicktoon Genesis" when Professor Calamitous tries to kill his three then toddler-age children.
121** Danny will also not let anyone, not even his friends, accuse his son of being a threat because of his unstable ghost powers.

126* RashomonStyle: Happens in "The Great Zappy Case".
127* ReplacementGoldfish: [=SpongeTron=] does this with Junior after Max goes to daycare by treating the former like baby that needs to be taken care of every minute of the day. Darry's analysis of the situation explains it all.

129* RightHandCat: Jimmy uses Goddard as this in "The Cool Cadets" when pretending to be a mad scientist as part of the Nicktoons' training exercise.
130* RoboRomance: Between Java and [=SpongeTron=] with the twist that [[DatingCatwoman one is a criminal and one is a hero]], though whether Java actually feels the same way about [=SpongeTron=] is up for debate. This also sometimes occurs between Java and [[EvilCounterpart [=SpongeCog=]]]
131* RPGEpisode: The episode "World of Weirdos" has Tammy and Tommy getting trapped in their favorite virtual MMORPG called "World of Cyborgs and Dragons".

140* SexyDiscretionShot: Heavily implied to have happened between Jimmy and Cindy in "Return of Phantom". They kiss after making up and it cuts to Darry and Dani. If [=SpongeTron=]'s remark about them being locked in their room and Jimmy's embarrassment when asked what they were doing, it's pretty obvious what had occurred between them.
141** Also implied to have happened between Danny and Sam at the end of "This is a Life?"
142* SharedFamilyQuirks: All the kids resemble their parents in some way, both appearance wise and personality wise.
143* SiblingSenioritySquabble: Tammy (who is 2 minutes older) usually refers to Tommy as her little brother, and Tommy reminds her that they're the same age.

146* SpeedDating: Jimmy does this in "Dating Catastrophe". It goes about as well as you'd expect.
147* SpinOffspring
148* SuperpowerfulGenetics: Darry is half-ghost like his father, but is mentioned many times throughout the series to only be "one-quarter ghost" and as so, does not have all of Danny's ghost abilities (super strength, cryokinesis, ghostly wail). He does however gain his own powers (shadow manipulation and ghost rage). Yuki, however, is not half-ghost and the only ability she has inherited from Danny is a ghost sense, which unlike Danny is not linked to another ghost power.
149* TheTalk: "Princess Kida" has a subplot with Junior wanting to know where babies come from after finding out they don't really come from the stork like his parents told him. Jimmy is too embarrassed to tell him, Yuki tells him babies come from clouds, Kida seems to think they grow on trees, [=SpongeTron=] was told that they are manufactured at a factory, Tommy thinks they come from eggs, and Tammy thinks they grow from seeds. Finally, Cindy gets fed up and tells them all the truth, leaving Junior fascinated and the rest of the kids traumatized.
150* TenMinuteRetirement: Darry quits the Nicktoons and ghost fighting at the end of Season 2, but joins back up at the end of "This is a Life?", only to realize that he is now unable to go ghost.

153** Tammy's friends, Katy and Irma, also qualify as Those Two Girls.
154* TimeSkip: Season 4 takes place one year after the third season finale.
155* TraumaCongaLine: Darry goes through one in "Shadow of the Past" [[spoiler: First, his mother can't make it to his sister's Nicktoon graduation ceremony, and due to her traveling the world for her career, it's been a while since he's last seen her. Then his close friend gets captured by their worst enemy and after trying to rescue him, he is quickly subdued and has to witness said friend being stabbed to death. He afterwards finds out that he now has a new ghost power that is brought upon by his anger and since he can't control it, he is a danger to those close by and every time he uses it, it eats away at his life. To top it all off, this all happens when [=DarkEvil=] is bringing back Dark Danny to kill all his close friends and family.]]
156* VillainTeamUp: The Syndicate bring back [=DarkEvil LaserPants=] to do this. It fails before it could even get started.
157** [=DarkEvil=] ends up trying to do this in "Shadow Of the Past" with [[spoiler: Dark Danny. It backfires HORRIBLY.]]
158* WaxOnWaxOff: Vlad agrees to help Darry learn to control his Ghost Rage, but instead has Darry play chess, do yoga, and intentionally pushes Darry's BerserkButton. Vlad later reveals that this was all part of his training to help Darry keep calm in tense situations due to his powers being emotion based.
159* WhatDoTheyFearEpisode: The Nicktoons deal with this in "Frightosphere" at the hands of Nightmare Juju, who's ability can make people live out their worst fears. Tommy is afraid of "Catzilla", Yuki is afraid of a horror move villain Cut-Up Cassie, [=SpongeTron's=] is being deemed a failure and locked away forever, Crash is afraid of nematodes, Tak is afraid of gongru snakes, and Danny is afraid of [[spoiler: Dark Danny.]]
160* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: In "Spongekira", Junior is given his own neural intelligence chip that makes him smarter and gives him psychic powers, but drives him insane. This also turns out to be the case with [[spoiler: Future Eustace]].
161* YouMonster: Darry calls [=DarkEvil=] this when the latter stabs Jimmy in front of him and plans to do the same to him once Danny arrives.
162* YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo: The Syndicate capture the adult Nicktoons in "Search for the Five Crystals" and threaten destroy them unless the Nicktoons bring the five crystals to them. They do and the Syndicate instead lock them with the adults instead.
163* YoureInsane: Darry yells, "You're...You're crazy!" to [=SpongeTron=] after the robot attacks him not long after activating.
