13	''Codename: Kids Next Door -- Operation: V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E.'' was a console game based on ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' developed by Creator/HighVoltageSoftware released on Platform/PlayStation2, Platform/NintendoGameCube, and Platform/{{Xbox}}.
14
15	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.
16	----
17	!! Now loading tropes for ''Operation: V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E.'':
18	* HundredPercentCompletion: 100% completion is accomplished by collecting at least 100 Rainbow Monkeys in every level and finding every Sooper Secret.
19	* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: The game switches between all five Sector V operatives at different intervals throughout the story, each having their own take on stages despite sharing the same core gameplay mechanics.
20	** Numbuh One has the most stages and are portrayed as your standard Third-Person Shooter fare.
21	** 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).
22	** 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.
23	** Numbuh Five's stages are focused more on platforming, as she has access to both a double jump and wall-jumping skills. Her stages also lacks weapon upgrades, and the only 2x4 upgrade she gets is the S.M.E.L.L.M.E.T., which is use for exploration in her first stage.
24	** Numbuh Two's stages are the most radically different, switching from running-and-gunning into a vertical shooter instead.
25	* AndYourRewardIsClothes: Completing Sooper Secret objectives will reward you with alternate [[SuperDeformed Sooper Deformed]] and Vampire skins for the Sector V operatives, as well as the E.L.I.M.O.N.A.T.E.R. and S.C.A.M.P.E.R. to replace the C.O.O.L.-B.U.S. with.
26	* AstralFinale: The FinalBoss is on the moon.
27	* 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.
28	* BigNo: This occurs twice:
29	** In the cutscene between defeating the Common Cold and facing off with Count Spankulot next, the Common Cold lets this one out when the Teen Ninjas steal the Power Core for the Snot Bomber.
30	** During his confrontation with Count Spankulot at Gallagher Elementary School's Clock Tower in the level "Operation: SPANKARIFFIC", Numbuh One does this when the Count threatens to turn Lizzie into a Spank-Happy Vampire.
31	--->'''Count Spankulot:''' Join me, Numbuh One, and at my side, you can spank them all! Like naughty little Lewis, that naughty Cedric boy, or LIZZIE!\
32	'''Numbuh One:''' Sorry, Count, your days of spanking are... HEY! You leave my girlfriend, Lizzie, out of this!\
33	'''Count Spankulot:''' Girlfriend?! Ah, yes! Well, then, if you won't join me, perhaps SHE will! ''[EvilLaugh]''\
34	'''Numbuh One:''' NOOOO!!
35	* BossBanter: Most of the boss fights have the villain talk to the player during the fight.
36	* CanonForeigner: Vampire Numbuh Five. Notable for having concept art included within the game itself as she lacked a proper vampire form in the show.
37	* CoDragons: Father's scheme is assisted by both the Delightful Children from Down the Lane and Cree Lincoln.
38	* ContinuityNod: At the beginning of Operation S.P.A.N.K.H.A.P.P.Y., which is the first mission involving Count Spankulot, Numbuh Four bemoans on how the other members of Sector V have become Spank-Happy Vampires again (even though the episode "[[Recap/CodenameKidsNextDoorS3E8BOperationLOCKDOWN Operation: L.O.C.K.D.O.W.N.]]" had Numbuh Four become a Spank-Happy Vampire and Numbuh Five avoid the transformation). This time around, ''Numbuh Five'' is transformed instead of Numbuh Four.
39	* DefeatMeansPlayable: Completing certain stages will give you access to special VR Arenas where you can play as enemy mooks and boss characters, and by completing certain objectives, you can unlock a battle arena where you control that stage's boss to fighter other mooks and player characters.
40	* EvilCostumeSwitch: For the Sector V Operatives when Count Spankulot transforms them into Spank-Happy Vampires. They retain their usual attributes shown from Operation: L.O.C.K.D.O.W.N., [[spoiler:including Numbuh Four, which is an unlockable cheat, as do the others (except the pilot, Numbuh Two),]] only this time around, it's ''[[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/knd/images/7/7a/Numbuh_5_-_Spank_Happy_Vampire_-_Concept_Art.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20160103104649 Numbuh Five]]'' who gets spanked instead of Numbuh Four. Her costume comes with a blue dress with a jagged hem, white leggings with the gloves to match, a bright red batwing cape and a gold medallion. In addition, her hat is torn up and her red scrunchie is replaced with a blue bat scrunchie.
41	* EXSpecialAttack: By collecting certain pickups, you can fill up a blue Powuh meter that can be spent to deliver enhanced attacks, like a triple spread shot from your M.U.S.K.E.T. or a shockwave attack from the S.P.L.A.N.K.E.R.
42	* FightingYourFriend: Operation S.P.A.N.K.H.A.P.P.Y. has Numbuh Four fighting the other members of Sector V after they've been turned into Spank-Happy Vampires. Numbuh Two, Numbuh Three, and Numbuh Five are faced as mini-bosses, with Numbuh One being the main boss of the level.
43	* FinalBoss: The final boss fight is against the Amalgamation, who’s the Toiletnator, Grandma Stuffum, Count Spankulot, Knightbrace, the Common Cold, and Stickybeard merged into one giant monster.
44	* HereWeGoAgain: The game ends with the revelation that the entire story was just a video game Sector V was playing, then the exact beginning of the story repeats exactly, including the Toiletnator's invasion of the Treehouse.
45	* HumongousMecha: The final boss fight has Sector V summon the T.R.E.E.H.E.M.O.T.H. (Transformable Really Enormous Emergency Humongodroid Entirely Made Outta Treehouse Headquarters) to take out the Amalgamation.
46	* LimitBreak: Numbuh Two's shockwave attacks (C.H.I.C.K.E.N.S.O.U.P.L.O.S.I.O.N. in Operation: S.N.O.T.-B.O.M.B.E.R., G.U.M.M.A.-R.A.Y. in Operation: T.A.R.P.O.O.N. and C.O.S.M.O.C.A.N.N.O.N. in M.O.O.N.T.R.I.P.), which can only be used after absorbing enough enemy shots (even the player's shots in M.O.O.N.T.R.I.P.) with the forcefield built into the C.O.O.L.B.U.S. It’s the only way to attack the Common Cold after blowing off the engines of the Snot Bomber during his boss fight, as well as make the Delightful Children vulnerable to attack during their boss fight.
47	* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Numbuh Three suddenly gains the ability to naturally glide ([[AllThereInTheManual which the game manual tries to justify as her using her oversized hoodie to do so]]), and as mention below, the ability to speak firefly. This was never brought up in the series proper beforehand and it’s never mentioned ever again after the fact.
48	* PottyEmergency: One part of the story has Numbuh Four needing to use the bathroom. When he finally gains access to a bathroom, a blackout occurs and his friends become Spank-Happy Vampires. Upon exiting the bathroom to set things right, Numbuh Four complains that he's ruined his shoes.
49	* 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 Four to fight his own teammates to free them from the curse. The latter mission involves Numbuh Three rounding up the Hamsters and taking them back to the power core to get the Treehouse powered up again.
50	* SecretCharacter: Numbuh 86, who’s unlockable via a cheat code. She replaces Numbuh One, and has her own unique dialogue with all of the game's stages and villains.
51	* ShipLevel: Operation S.H.I.P.-S.H.A.P.E., where you have to find Stickybeard by infiltrating the Sweet Revenge.
52	* 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".
53	* SpeaksFluentAnimal: In Numbuh Three's missions, she’s somehow able to understand hamsters and fireflies. Numbuh Three has to round up the treehouse's hamsters to get the power core going again in Operation H.A.M.S.T.E.R.A.M.A., while the fireflies help her thwart Knightbrace's scheme in using fireflies to make Bug-Brite toothpaste in Operation B.R.U.S.H.O.F.F.
54	* StealthBasedMission: Operation S.H.I.P.-S.H.A.P.E., where you’re encouraged to attack enemies from behind to instantly knock them out. Otherwise, you have to put up with a ''lot'' of mooks that can take a lot of punishment while dishing it out relentlessly.
55	* UnexpectedGameplayChange: Numbuh Two's stages are all shoot-em-ups a la Galaga, where he pilots the C.O.O.L.-B.U.S. throughout the city and space to shoot down waves of enemies.
56	* TheUnfought: Father and Cree are never fought as bosses in spite of their importance to the game's plot.
57	* UnlockableContent: The game has scores of unlockable content, such as concept art, videos, and alternate skins for the playable characters, most of which can be unlocked by beating the game once.
58	* WarmUpBoss: As another example of his ButtMonkey status, the Toiletnator serves as the boss of the game's tutorial level. He does come back later and is a little more challenging in a race battle.
