* PowerOutagePlot: The first two missions involving Count Spankulot, Operations S.P.A.N.K.H.A.P.P.Y. and H.A.M.S.T.E.R.A.M.A. In the former mission, the Count releases the Hamsters from the power core, causing the power failure in the treehouse, at which point he proceeded to turn the operatives into Spank-Happy Vampires, prompting Numbuh 4 to fight his own teammates to free them from the curse. The latter mission involves Numbuh 3 rounding up the Hamsters and taking them back to the power core to get the Treehouse powered up again.

** Numbuh Three's stages focus less on combat and more on exploration, playing out as a Collect-a-thon instead (though she can acquire weapons, the first upgrade she gets is for utility purposes than actual self-defense).
** Numbuh Four's stages are the most combat heavy, having him using close-quarters combat to clear out waves of enemies. Whatever weapon upgrades he get are obtained late-stage and are usually OneHitKill attacks.
** Numbuh Five's stages are focused more on platforming, as she has access to both a double jump and wall-jumping skills.

''Operation: V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E.'' was a console game based on ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' released on UsefulNotes/PlayStation2, UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube, and UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}}.

The game allows you to play as all five members of Sector V, with the main objective being to recapture escaped Kids Next Door villains. Near the end of the game, it turns out that Sector V have unknowingly been helping carry out the current scheme of Father, which involves merging the captured villains into a giant monster to destroy the Kids Next Door.

!! ''Operation: V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E.'' provides examples of:

* BigBad: Father is behind all the game's conflict, having arranged for the various villains to be recaptured by Sector V and sent to the Moonbase prison simply so he can merge them together into a giant monster that will destroy them.
* CoDragons: Father's scheme is assisted by both the Delightful Children from Down the Lane and Cree Lincoln.
* FinalBoss: The final boss fight is against the Amalgamation, who is the Toiletnator, Grandma Stuffum, Count Spankulot, Knightbrace, the Common Cold, and Stickybeard merged into one giant monster.
* LicensedGame: This is a video game based on a cartoon show.
* ShoutOut: The boss fight against the Delightful Children from Down the Lane features several ''Franchise/StarWars'' references, such as the Delightful Children's space station resembling the Death Star and Numbuh Three referencing Admiral Ackbar's quote of "It's a trap".
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Numbuh Three is somehow able to understand fireflies, which helps her thwart Knightbrace's scheme in using fireflies to make Bug-Brite toothpaste.
* TheUnfought: Father and Cree are never fought as bosses in spite of their importance to the game's plot.
* WarmUpBoss: As another example of his ButtMonkey status, the Toiletnator serves as the boss of the game's tutorial level.
