----
!! This episode provides examples of

* {{Animorphism}}: The game makes Leo a Changeling, who has the power to turn into any animal.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Don realizes that the dragon can be defeated by attacking its belly when it rears up to roar.
* BasementDweller: The admin wizard appears to be this in real life.
* BewitchedAmphibians: Raph's misunderstanding of what was meant by giving a "token of affection" to the witch gets him turned into a non-anthropomorphic frog.
* BossBattle: The fight against the three-headed dragon for the second key.
* EnemyMine: Hun teams up with the Turtles to defeat a cheater in the game, though only the viewers are aware of it.
* {{Expy}}: The [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Ganondorf]] expy from "Home Invasion" returns in the game world. Also, the Ferryman NPC is an expy of [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Charon]].
* CallingYourAttacks: The Ultimate Gamer does this with all his moves.
* CourtJester: The game turns Raph into one, much to Mikey's amusement.
* TheFerryman: Literally, the ferryman NPC.
* GamerChick: The Ultimate Gamer is a young girl in real life.
* GuiltyPleasures: In-show variation with Hun. Running the Purple Dragons is one thing, but who would've thought he plays the same MMORPG that Mikey does? Not to mention he, unknowingly, met the Turtles in it and helped them get Splinter's data bits.
* HowDoIShotWeb: Leo doesn't quite get the hang of his shapeshifting ability right away.
* {{Irony}}: Size doesn't seem to matter for Hun.
* MagicPants: While Leo's changeling outfit disappears when he turns into various animals, his normal bandana, belt, and knee and elbow pads remain.
* MostGamersAreMale: Almost every significant player character in the game is revealed to be male in real life.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: This is the first tip-off to the audience that the "NPC" ferryman isn't what he seems...
* RobeAndWizardHat: Donnie's in-game avatar.
* ShoutOut:
** The title of the episode is a nod to ''VideoGame/EverQuest''. Many of the features of the online game world are references to ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', and there also seems to be nods to ''VideoGame/LordOfTheRingsOnline''.
** Raph, transformed into a non-anthropomorphic frog, [[WesternAnimation/OneFroggyEvening dances and sings a ragtime song]] to distract the Ultimate Gamer.
* StealthPun: In order to defeat the Ultimate Gamer, Leo, who is a Changeling in game and can transform into animals, changes into a white lion. 'Leo' is the Latin word for "lion".
* TacticalSuicideBoss: Don notices that the three-headed dragon is on a strict attack cycle where it fires, rises, roars, [[AttackItsWeakPoint and exposes its vulnerable underbelly]].
* UltimateGamer386: This episode is actually the TropeNamer.
* WeNeedADistraction: It falls to Raph, who's been turned into a frog wearing a jester outfit, to distract the Ultimate Gamer whilst the others power their attacks to defeat him.
-->'''Raph''': Uh, why is everyone looking at me?
