The first season consisted of ten episodes each running about 10-15 minutes. In 2009 the staff announced that due to unspecified production difficulties ,a second season was being called off. Later, it was revealed that Screwattack required them to wrap up the airing - not just the shooting - of the episodes by August, so that a [=DVD=] could be released in November. At the end of May, shooting had not begun yet, so the team thought that meeting the deadline was completely impossible.

* BrokenAesop: episode 7, ''For the Kid in S All'', ends with the aesop that if you understand your mistakes, you commit yourself and strive as much as you can, you can overcome any difficulty. The premise of next episode, ''Captain S'll Make Ya Clap, Clap'' is that all efforts Chad made in that direction were worthless, and that to ''actually'' achieve anything he needed a supernatural means of health regeneration, activated by people clapping.

At first, he would have tried to become an OlderSidekick to Captain S, only to be turned away and laughed at. His subsequent attempt to reveal the existence of Videoland to his colleagues and boss would have failed too, and he would have been fired. He would have then received a cheat device (similar to the one that started TheCorruption on Chad) and started using it for himself. At first, he would have used its powers to destroy his enemies, then he would have started to reshape Videoland to his will and absorb video game bosses to increase his power even more.

Added tropes that would have been present in the second season

Added DiffLines:

* AllYourPowersCombined: during the course of the season, at least two characters would have received "cheat devices" that increase their powers. The more they used them, the more they would have provided energy to them (while also falling victim to TheCorruption), until the cheat devices would have merged together and recreated the Game Genie.
* DarkerAndEdgier: the general tone of the season would have been this, compared to the first season.
* HeelToFaceTurn: would have happened to Adam Jaguar (see TheRival below), after the [[BigBad Game Genie]] is resurrected.
* HeroicSacrifice: Tobias (see WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity below) would have ended this way, after discovering that his actions had allowed the Game Genie to resurrect. He would have been killed by the Game Genie, who was instead trying to kill Chad, Adam and Nigel.
* TheCorruption: would have happened (only to a certain extent) to Chad, after he starts using a cheat device that increases his powers. It would have had a much worse effect on Tobias (see WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity below), for the same reason.
* TheRival: a new character named Adam Jaguar, a {{Jerkass}} who knows that Chad is Captain S, can enter Videoland and is intended to prove his superiority (just like Atari intended to prove that the Jaguar was superior to the Genesis)
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: it would have happened to Tobias, a genius programmer who discovers Videoland. At first, he would have tried to become an OlderSidekick to Captain S, only to be turned away and laughed at. His subsequent attempt to reveal the existence of Videoland to his colleagues and boss would have failed too, and he would have been fired.
