The story revolves around a duo of alligators named Mango and Brash who work under an undercover organisation called S.U.I.T. (Special Undercover Investigation Teams) solving crime wherever they can. It has a similar style to ''ComicBook/DogMan'' with its silly light-hearted humour.

* UnwinnableTrainingSimulation: ''Off the Hook'' opens with Mango performing a training simulation at S.U.I.T. in which he needs to make a tough choice between saving Brash and the people of the train or stopping Crackerdile from getting away. It is later revealed that he has attempted the simulation dozens of times due to choosing to save everyone over capturing Crackerdile, a theme about choices that goes on throughout the whole book.

* AbortedArc: Both ''Heist and Seek'' and ''All Tide Up'' have multiple teases towards Daryl’s return [[spoiler:after his death in ''Braver and Boulder''. Most significantly, the second-to-last scene in ''Heist and Seek'' has what appears to be a radioactive cracker version of Daryl. However, the following book does not pick up on this scene and continues teasing the return of Daryl throughout what seems to be a plot-point of dialogue between Mango and Brash about the possibility of Daryl returning, but it is eventually forgotten about as well.]]

* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:''Off the Hook'' sort of ends this way. In the climax, the giant Waffledile actually eats Brash after Mango fails to save him. Brash is luckily saved in time by Hookline and Slinker just before the concrete Mango had no choice but to drop on Waffledile hardens. But now Brash is in a coma, forcing a robot replacement of him to take his place as Mango’s partner. Even more enforced for the trope, Waffledile did manage to promote T.A.I.L.Blazers team and raise awareness, as Cilantro and Maestronaut do find the flyers.]]
