- Awesome Moments: When El Malefico grows giant in response to the main trio's beating with their Artifacts of Buenaness. Cue a joining of hands in a three-point star, a recitation of the Arc Words and an 11th-Hour Superpower to match El Malefico.
- Base-Breaking Character: You either adore The Flea for being a crazy, eccentric fellow that the story never takes very seriously for a reason, or you loathe him for being a one-note Gasshole gag that almost always repeats the same beats every other episode.
- Cult Classic: It's not a very well known show, but it still has its fans nonetheless.
- Die for Our Ship: Penny Plutonium, in the eyes of the Rikochet/Buena Girl shippers.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: In 2002, this show had a fictional luchador named Rikochet. In 2016, actual wrestler Ricochet wrestles for Lucha Underground under the name "Prince Puma." The 630 splash, is about as close to a real world logic "Pulverizing Pinball" you can get.
- Most Wonderful Sound: Mr. Midcarda belting out "LUCHAAAAAAAA!!!" at the beginning of the show's intro is considered sacred as it hypes up the show in excitement and anticipation.
- Questionable Casting: Penn & Teller (well, Penn, at least) appear in the El Malefico movie, voicing Almighty Janitor versions of themselves.
- Retroactive Recognition: Most people remember Jorge R. Gutierrez for El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera but some might recognize his art style from this show.
- The Problem with Licensed Games: ¡Mucha Lucha!: Mascaritas of the Lost Code is often regarded as one of the ABSOLUTE worst games on the GBA.
- Toy Ship: Plenty of 'em, especially Rikochet/Buena Girl and Megawatt/Electricity.
- Ugly Cute: Calavera is considered this by some.
- Unexpected Character: Let's be honest here, did anyone at all expect that the villain of The Movie would have celebrity cameos as henchmen? And did anyone expect that it would be Penn & Teller? Well, just Penn since Teller is The Voiceless as always, but still.
- Viewer Gender Confusion: Prima Donna Hodges - She's a girl, right? Also, Snow Pea and Zero Kelvin.
- Visual Effects of Awesome: One of the very first (and arguably the first truly-successful) animated shows created for TV broadcast which used Adobe Flash, and while there's a glitch here or there, most of the more fluid shots and dynamic poses still hold up.
