* DanceBattler: In "DJ Elephant Head", the titular Villain of the Week is helped by two back-up dancers that also can back him up when it comes to fight. Their fighting moves are actually a mixture of martial arts and dance moves, and the two henchwomen fight in tune with the music and synchronized with each other. Amanda comments that it looks pretty, but the heroes are also able to use it against them to read their moves.

!!This series provides examples of:

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Mike's dad.
* AsianAndNerdy: Mike.
* AffectionateParody: of action comedies, supervillains, and teenage superheroes
* TheBGrade: Amanda is seen going nuts on her training in "Checkmate" because she got an A- on a biology test.
* BluffTheImpostor: Mike tries to do this to Jellyface when the latter is in the guise of his dad, but it fails because the impostor has done his homework. However, Mike already knows he's a fake, with or without the bluff. The thing that tips him off? The impostor said that Mike "would make a great cop someday." Mike's father [[OutOfCharacterAlert doesn't think Mike can be a cop.]]
* BumblingDad
* CannotDream: Owen mentions it in "DJ Elephant Head", that is until DJ Elephant Head put him to sleep.
* TheChessmaster: Checkmate
* CityOfAdventure: Empire City
* CriminalMindGames: Checkmate plays them.
* DeadpanSnarker: Most of the cast, but props to Hologramps for putting the emphasis on 'Dead.'
* ExtracurricularEnthusiast: Amanda, demonstrated in "Checkmate". When [[TheBGrade fretting about her A-]], she says that her parents will make her drop cheerleading, which will only leave her with Tennis, Debate Team, and a number of others. Mike's response: "[[SarcasmMode What will you do with all of that free time?]]"
* FakeOutMakeOut: Between Mike and Amanda in the second episode.
* FatalFlaw:
** Amanda's is that she has trouble accepting anything less than perfection for herself. She gets over this in "Checkmate", following Hologramps' advice that "The perfect ninja knows there is no such thing as perfection"
** Checkmate has one similar to the above, in that he never learned how to accept when he was beaten.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
--> '''Owen:''' (to a disguised [[spoiler: Katara]]) Have a boyfriend, [[QueerAsTropes partner]]?\\
''Mike and Mr. Fukanaga give him a strange look.''\\
'''Owen:''' It's ''2011!''
** Mike also threatens to self-harm to get his father cancel a date with [[spoiler: Katara.]]
* GracefulLoser: Amanda in "Checkmate"
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every episode is named after its main antagonist(s) with the exception of "Detention", which features the return of a villain from a previous episode.
* JiveTurkey: Owen. Not only does he speak in a lot of slang, he's also makes the most jokes, takes things the least serious, and is the main source of comic relief. UncleTomfoolery too.
* KnifeNut: Katara
* {{McNinja}}
* {{Ninja Brat}}s
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent
* PoliceAreUseless
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: It's hard to watch this show when new episodes are never advertised and reruns are scarce.
* ShoutOut:
** One of the villains is named [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Katara]].
** [[KickAss Kickbutt]]
** In "Checkmate", after Amanda concedes the chess match against Checkmate:
--->'''Checkmate:''' That's not how you play the game. You have to play to win.\\
'''Amanda:''' Not this time Checkmate. [[Film/WarGames The only winning move in this game is not to play]].
* SpiritAdvisor
