10	The show's title character is a young knight-in-training who happily lives in a castle. His parents are the king and queen of the land, but his father is a knight currently away on a quest. Mike deeply admires his father and tries his best to protect the kingdom and the queen. Alongside his horse Galahad, his magician sister Evie, and two dragon companions named Sparkie and Squirt, Mike always tries to emulate the ideal knight to the best of his ability. While his inexperience means he regularly makes mistakes and messes up, Mike always makes the effort to fix his mistakes and make everyone happy, learning a lesson or two along the way.

12	----
13	!!This show provides examples of:
14	* AffablyEvil: The Vikings, the closest thing the show has to a regular antagonist. Being raiders, most of the conflicts involving them taking the episode's MacGuffin, but their motivations in doing so are rooted in child-like ignorance rather than true malice.
15	* CatchPhrase:
16	** "It's time to be a knight, and do it right!"
17	** "By the king's crown, that's it!"
18	%%* CoolHorse: Galahad
19	%%* CowardlySidekick: Squirt.
20	* ADayInTheLimelight: Sometimes there are episodes where a character gets more focus than Mike. When this happens, the character says "It's time for me to do it right!"
21	%%** Evie in "Evie's New Friend".
22	%%** Trollee in "Trollee the Aprentice" and "Knignt for a Day"
23	%%** Fernando in "Brave Song"
24	* DisappearedDad
25	** Mike's father is mentioned as existing and being part of his life, but he's always off questing during the episodes.
26	*** He was one, but then in one of the Christmas specials he showed up and joined Mike on a knightly adventure. He's also a major part of ''Journey to Dragon Mountain''.
27	** Squirt has both a DisappearedDad and MissingMom [[spoiler:until he finds them both at the end of ''Journey to Dragon Mountain''. And then, his new baby sister, Flutter hatches from an EggMacGuffin.]]
28	* ExpositoryThemeTune and TitleThemeTune: "There'll be trouble, double trouble! But you know it's gonna be alright. 'Cause every day is an adventure for Mike the Knight! Be a knight, do it right!"
29	* FunctionalMagic: Evie, being a witch-in-training her spells don't go right.
30	* FunnyForeigner:
31	** The Vikings. They speak in Scandinavian-sounding gibberish (but do understand the local language of Glendragon), like to jump and bounce around everywhere like a troupe of acrobats, and are generally pretty jovial for a group of plunderers.
32	** Sparkie, a Spanish-accented Dragon can be silly at times.
33	%%* {{Greed}}: The Vikings.
34	* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: All episodes follow the formula “[[CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase Mike the Knight and (noun)]]”.
35	* IneptMage: Evie, being a witch-in-training her spells don't go right.
36	%%* PreciousPuppies: Yip and Yap, who are corgis that live up to their names (they bark an awful lot).
37	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: The King is a knight and his children- Mike and Evie- are, respectively, a knight and a witch.
38	* SantaClaus: In one episode, Mike tries to deliver the presents for Santa to get off the naughty list, not realizing he was never on the naughty list, it's just that his present was very big and so hadn't been delivered yet. A followup episode had Mike as Santa's good friend and [[SavingChristmas trying to help him out]] when one of his reindeer got sick.
39	* SoProudOfYou: Mike's father to him and Evie in ''Journey to Dragon Mountain'', [[spoiler:Squirt's father to him.]]
40	%%* TeamChef: Sparkie.
41	* TransformationSequence: The contraption that puts Mike in his armour.
42	%%* WomenAreWiser: Queen Martha
43	* YouCanTalk: In ''Journey to Dragon Mountain'', [[spoiler:Mike to the giant dragon, who turns out to be Squirt's long lost father.]]
