9
10%%* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Every console title in the series has its fair share of completely ''awesome'' tunes.
11* BrokenBase: The show. Was it a good adaption of the games, or did they ruin the series by making it? Many are on the side of the latter given the show seems to have been the FranchiseKiller.
12* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: In the 3rd game, Tak and Lok apparently have new Juju powers which include respawning. The result? Tak getting increasingly annoyed at Lok continually jumping off a cliff so he can respawn. Just about any moment with Party Juju in the second and third games.
13%%* EnsembleDarkhorse: Each game has one: in the first game it's Flora and Dinky Juju, in the second it's the Giant Misunderstanding, Fauna (Flora's twin sister), and JB (being voiced by Creator/JeffBennett most certainly helps), and in the third it's the Black Mist Tribe. The Show even has a few popular characters such as Jeera and Log Hermit.
14* HilariousInHindsight: The games managing to outlast the TV series when it was supposed to be a TV series in the first place.
15* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: Granted, the game came well before the show, but being made from Nicktoon's staff who normally handles the video game adaptions of Nicktoons which usually end up being all over the place in terms of quality, the original game was a surprisingly fun and solid platformer.
16* OnlyTheCreatorDoesItRight: Any game in the series not made by Avalanche Software is accused of this.
17%%* SoOkayItsAverage: The various handheld games and ''The Guardians of Gross'' are seen as this.
18* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Near the end of the second game, Jibolba mentions the Black Mist Tribe and how the Pupanunus went to war with them and if the third game is any indication the feud between the two is still going on. However, the plot of ''The Great Juju Challenge'' focuses on the titular challenge and the Black Mist wind up overshadowed entirely by [[spoiler: [[FrenchJerk The Dark Juju.]]]] The Pupanunu[=/=]Black Mist rivalry isn't focused on much beyond that and the series was supplanted by the Cartoon Adaptation and its games soon after, meaning the Black Mist's territory and potential as villains for the series was abandoned.

20!![[VideoGame/TakAndThePowerOfJuju The first game]]
21%%* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Wild Child.
22* HilariousInHindsight: The Tak version of the song "Wild Child" and a green fairy also appear in ''Film/EuroTrip'', released in February 2004.
23* NightmareFuel: In the [=DryRock=] Caverns, if Tak were to fall in the bottomless pits inside, a special cutscene would play, where a bunch of [[RedEyesTakeWarning red glowing eyes]] would fill the screen, while there would also be sounds of Nerbils as well as Tak getting hurt like they're swarming and clobbering him in the dark. It's unnerving to think about.
24* SignatureSong: Wild Child, which has been used throughout all of the commercials.
25* ThatOneLevel:
26** Chicken Temple. Without staying at max health for the amulet speed boost, outrunning the chickens is almost impossible. You don't respawn at full health.
27** [=DryRock=] Canyon is this in the first game due to [[EverythingTryingToKillYou everything in the area out to kill you]]. Doesn't help that the whole place is infested with nerbils.
28** If you're trying to collect all of the Yorbels, then Numa Dunes would be this too. For the Yorbels are positioned in a way that would require going through the level again. And if you're not careful in your jumps, then missing one would require another restart.
