The KND search for the last box of Rainbow Munchies in the Villains-Only Superstore.

This episode contains examples of:

  • Ash Face: All of Sector V ends up this way after being roasted by Father's fire, though the soot falls off them once they land on the floor.
  • Baguette Beatdown: Numbuh 5 fights with two baguettes. But when she admits Stickybeard's peppermint cutlass is tougher, she uses them on the shelves of products, knocking them off to create a distraction.
  • Big "WHAT?!": Upon learning of Knightbrace's intention to destroy the cereal, Sector V reacts with a simultaneous "WHAT?!" followed by the villains reacting likewise. Except for Toiletnator, who cries out in pain over having been run over.
  • Comically Small Bribe: Mr. Boss entices two of his Ice Cream Man stooges with two scoops of cereal to whoever brings him the box.
  • Continuity Cavalcade: Basically every major and some minor villains make an appearance in their efforts to get the Rainbow Munchies box.
  • Enemy Mine: Sector V and the villains form a temporary truce when Knightbrace tells everyone he's going to destroy the cereal. After the entire gang beat him up, they all sit down and share the cereal.
    Numbuh One: Desperate times call for desperate measures. Truce?
    Father: Until breakfast is finished.
    Numbuh One: Agreed.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Played for Laughs. All of the villains are appalled at Knightbrace's intentions to destroy the Rainbow Munchies, even willing to resort to an Enemy Mine with Sector V to save the cereal.
  • Failed Attempt at Drama:
    • After getting the box of Rainbow Munchies, Mr. Fizz attempts to deliver a Bond One-Liner only for Stickybeard to take the box from him before he can finish.
    • Father using his fire powers while trying to intimidate Sector V results in him accidentally popping the several popcorn boxes he's standing next to.
  • Freak Out: Played for Laughs. The episode starts with Sector V collectively freaking out over the lack of cereal.
  • Funny Background Event:
    • During the mass Big "WHAT?!" at the end, one of the Ice Cream Men is more interested in eating a tub of ice cream.
    • While everyone is enjoying cereal in the end, Mega-Mom and Destructo-Dad are shown not being able to actually eat it through their helmets.
  • Go-Karting with Bowser: Everyone (except for Knightbrace, obviously) enjoys a bowl of cereal at the end.
  • Hope Spot: Played for Laughs. After a massive game of Keep Away, Sector V gets their hands on the box and heads for the express lane...just in time for Father to break free and attack them.
    Father: You didn't think a half-priced barbecue grill could stop ME? (bursts into flames) DID YOU?!
  • Impossibly Delicious Food: Rainbow Munchies cereal is so delicious that Sector V and a supermarket full of villains are driven to fighting over the last box in the store. Knightbrace buying the box and threatening to destroy it (because, as a dentistry-themed villain, he hates unhealthy food) is enough for the kids and the villains to call a truce for the purpose of beating the stuffing out of him.
  • Major Injury Underreaction: Knightbrace after having beaten up severely by everybody and in visibly bad condition is forced to hand out milk. He asks, "Don't forget to brush your teeth after breakfast, okay?"
  • Misleading Package Size: That one box of Rainbow Munchies somehow has enough to feed all of Sector V and around a dozen villains.
  • Mundane Made Awesome: Never has buying cereal, especially the last box, ever seemed more epic.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Knightbrace is at the receiving end from everyone after threatening to destroy the last box of Rainbow Munchies.
  • Psychopathic Manchild: Father is perfectly willing to kill for a box of Rainbow Munchies.
  • Serious Business: Rainbow Munchies are practically needed to have an enjoyable breakfast for everyone.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Knightbrace announcing his plan to destroy the cereal aloud in a supermarket full of villains who want that cereal.
  • Vampires Hate Garlic: Spankulot goes into a panic after he lands on a display of garlic.
  • Villains Out Shopping: The episode takes place in a supermarket made specifically for villains.
  • Welcome to Evil Mart: Supervillain Supermarket & Deli. Currently provides the page image.
  • Win-Win Ending: Both the villains and the KND get what they want at the end of the episode as they happily share the last box of Rainbow Munchies together.
