Cyberchase is an Edutainment Show that has aired on PBS since 2002, with fourteen seasons under its belt. Until 2007, the show was a co-production of WNET New York and Nelvana of Canada; WNET has produced the show on its own since then.The series revolves around three Earth kids, Inez, Jackie, and Matt, and their "cybird" friend, Digit (voiced initially by Gilbert Gottfried and later by Ron Pardo), who lives in Cyberspace. Motherboard, ruler of the virtual world, calls the trio inside to help defend and repair it from The Hacker (Christopher Lloyd)—who is not a playful one, but an evil cyborg bent on conquering Cyberspace and spreading chaos.Originally Motherboard's assistant, Hacker went rogue, was exiled for trying to destroy her, and returned to beam her a virus. She suffers only partial damage thanks to her chief technician, Dr. Marbles, but is still weakened and glitched. With Marbles forced into hiding, Motherboard then recruits the three Earthlies.Most episodes involve the CyberSquad traveling to a unique or recurring "cybersite" (a planet-like body in Cyberspace) to thwart The Hacker's latest scheme using the power of Math.On PBS airings, the episodes end with a live-action segment called Cyberchase For Real, where a pair of recurring characters, Harry (played by Matthew Wilson) and Bianca (played by Bianca DeGroat), and sometimes their recurring nemeses (Harley and Sleazé), demonstrate how the episode's math lesson can be used in their own lives.After a three-year hiatus, the series premiered its ninth season in November 2013. The episodes from this season onward focus on environmental and ecological themes.No relation to Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase.

All There in the Manual: The crab prince's friends are identified as Stringie and Bow in the captioning and nowhere else. The story of what happened before the events of the first episode (including Hacker's betrayal and Digit's origins) was relayed via the "How It All Started" webisodes on the Cyberchase website, which now take some digging to find. Downplayed in that it leaves unclear how Hacker orchestrated much of his plan.

The Movie

comment
The Movie: Season 9 featured The Cyberchase Movie, a two-part, hour-long special in which the CyberSquad learn about the importance of living space in animals' habitats. They also re-encounter Dr. Marbles; and yes, they once again get the better of Hacker. "Space Waste Odyssey" is also considered a movie, which retroactively suggests the first two-parter special, "The Snelfu Snafu", might be as well.

Cousin Oliver: In Season 11, new characters were added: Bianca's nephew, Jaden, and Harry's niece, Courtney. All of the segments featured the adults accompanied, assisted, and educated by the children. In Season 12, Bianca and Harry were dropped from the show entirely, effectively being replaced by Jaden and Courtney, and even younger characters were added alongside them: Jaden's cousin, Kimmie, and Courtney's friend, Alex. In Season 13, all of these characters were replaced by entirely new children, who have no known relation to Bianca or Harry. Since Season 12, adults are no longer prominently featured in the segments.

Failed a Spot Check: Averted in "Secrets of Symmetria", where the CyberSquad has Digit disguise himself as a robotic double of Hacker when the latter is attempting to destroy Symmetria. The guise they assemble for him is almost perfect… except they forgot about Hacker's pocket protector, allowing the real Hacker to expose Digit as a fake to his cronies.

Ambiguously Human: Most of Cyberspace’s inhabitants are referred to as “cyborgs� (or similar nomenclature, like “cyboid/cybird� in Digit's case), which implies they are at least part organic, and many (including Slider, Coop, and Ledge) are completely indistinguishable from regular humans like Matt, Jackie, and Inez. But at the same time, they all seem to be fully native to Cyberspace (which is supposed to literally be the Internet) and a number of them like Hacker were literally “built� from scratch.

Chekhov's Gun: Matt and his yo-yos, which are initially just a minor detail until “The Grapes of Plath� where they are used as a measuring device. Jackie and her hair scrunchie, which is used to measure circumference in several episodes. In "The Cyberchase Movie", Inez was held up with a bowling match that she choked with a gutter ball in the last roll. In the climax, the only way to lock the Emergency Reset Button and save Cyberspace is for Inez to bowl a heavy, ball-shaped safety lock into a socket across the room.

Undercrank: Fast motion is frequently used in the "For Real" segments, especially in the early seasons. One of many examples is when Bianca measures an entire running track twice to see if the inner and outer lanes are the same distance to the finish line despite having different starting positions. She tires herself out from this and collapses when the actual race starts.

Never Recycle Your Schemes
 Cyberchase / int_35129b4f
comment
Never Recycle Your Schemes: Hacker has this attitude with his evil plans, and struggles to come up with new ones on multiple occasions. In "An Urchin Matter", he has a file cabinet of unused schemes queued up for when he has the money to make them happen. Averted at the end of "Back to Canalia's Future". After losing the chance to use Pearl's time machine, Hacker tries to build his own; it just happens not to work. A heroic example in the chase for the Encryptor Chip, which would cure Motherboard if restored. As the virus destroyed her original chip, the new one is an exact replica that Professor Archimedes finished in "Eureeka". Instead of having Archimedes start on another replica, the CyberSquad searches for the existing one and sacrifices it in Season 3. In "Fit To Be Heroes", the CyberSquad finds a template for the Encryptor Chip within Control Central, not realizing it was for an early model. Though still not involving Archimedes, they do try to complete it, learn it was for an early model of the chip, and are never shown searching for other versions' templates.

Minion with an F in Evil: Delete is rather kind, loves bunnies, and usually doesn't seem to understand the impact of his boss's villainous orders. When Hacker tries to ruin things like Delete's favorite holidays, the bot is livid, and even quits to help the CyberSquad on one such occasion. He is contrasted with Buzz, who, though still incompetent as a henchman and like a sibling to Delete, is loyal to Hacker's cause and has distant designs on taking his boss's place.

Feud Episode

comment
Feud Episode: In "The Creech Who Would Be Crowned", Jackie and Matt make fun of the way Inez talks and her height. When Inez finds that Creech has a similarly wide vocabulary, Inez joins her and says to Tell Them She's Not Speaking To Them. It takes needing to rescue Inez from a quicksand pit to get the Earthlies to reconcile. In "The Halloween Howl", Inez and Jackie show up with the same Halloween costume. To make matters worse, Jackie finds Inez's diary open to a page that looks like it calls her mean. Once they make up, Jackie says she shouldn't have read the diary, but Inez insists she finishes the entry to see that she actually wrote "mean-ingful."

Title Theme Tune: The theme song is bookended with the show's name, in spoken and half-spelled form: "The chase is on! Just wait and C-Y-B-E-R-chase!" The Spanish dub pushes this even further. The second verse seems to run out of lyrics and resort to restating the show's name.

Batman Gambit: In "The Snelfu Snafu: Part 1", Hacker knows the CyberSquad will save a lot of money to buy the Encryptor Chip. He rigs an auction and gives them every opportunity he can to let them place the last bid while putting on the act that he wants it. With the tampered chip, the CyberSquad compromises Motherboard for Hacker, putting him in charge. And he gets all their hard-earned Snelfus.

Our Clones Are Different
 Cyberchase / int_397c85c2
comment
Our Clones Are Different: "Send in the Clones" features a cloning ray that can instantly duplicate both living beings and inanimate objects (as Hacker finds out when he's trapped behind a bunch of cloned pylons). The clones in question seem perfectly functional and obedient, but it's shown that too many of them will cause the original to start shrinking in mass; for some reason, they also multiply every time the original sneezes. Most of this is possibly justified by the implication that since they're in, well, Cyberspace, everything is actually made of computer data.

Noodle Incident: When the CyberSquad first appears in the episode "The Grapes of Plath", they have just finished retrieving an Egyptian sceptre for Binky that The Hacker took. The only information that we get on this incident is that The Hacker apparently convinced Binky that he was King Tut. Whether this was a living King Tut or a living-dead King Tut is unclear. It's also unclear how he managed to convince her.

Story Arc
 Cyberchase / int_42008602
comment
Story Arc: Uniquely for an Edutainment Show, there are many: The initial arc involved the kids trying to retrieve a new and rare Encryptor Chip (a device of Motherboard's destroyed by Hacker's virus, that would enable her to completely recover), culminating in "The Snelfu Snafu" two-parter. Since it spanned the entirety of the show's first Nelvana/WNET run, it can be considered a Myth Arc. The second story arc in seasons four and five involved Hacker using a Transformatron built by him and Coop and searching for its power source, the Network Interface Card (or NIC for short) and the kids trying to keep it away from him. The third and current story arc starting around season eight focuses on Hacker trying to reverse his decayed villain image after years of being defeated by the CyberSquad, and newer villains, like Ledge and The Zusk, trying to usurp Hacker's spot as the top villain in Cyberspace.

A Tragedy of Impulsiveness: When Hacker seizes control of Radopolis, Matt steps in and strikes a deal with Hacker that if they beat him in a skateboard competition, he'll be forced to leave. If he wins, the CyberSquad must never return to Cyberspace. Matt accepts the deal, much to the horror of the others. It isn't until they come dangerously close to losing and Hacker demands that Inez be made his cheerleader that he realizes how foolish his actions were.

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot
 Cyberchase / int_44989f6f
comment
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Played for dark laughs in "Fortress of Attitude", where Hacker sets up a noisy, annoying robot so as to make various worlds surrender. The kids notice the cassette playing the sound is guarded by lasers, and they calculate the exact amount of rope that Digit needs to hover just above them. Hacker comes to bust them, and reveals the off-switch for the lasers. As Matt puts it, "Why didn't we think of that?" The feud subplot in "The Halloween Howl" could've been averted if Inez got Jackie to turn the diary's page earlier and realize she wasn't secretly insulting her friend.

Lily-Pad Platform: A variant appears in the episode about arithmetic and geometric progressions. The kids must get across a wide river, and all they have is a single large lily pad about four feet across. When they put the pad in the water, it starts magically reproducing, generating a new full-size pad every couple of seconds, and the new pads do the same thing. So the total number of lily pads doubles every couple of seconds. It isn't long before they have a bridge of lily pads stretching all the way across the river.

Early-Installment Weirdness: The For Real segment accompanying "The Poddleville Case" does not feature either Bianca or Harry, with the presenter instead being an unnamed host portrayed by Are You Afraid of the Dark? actor Kareem Blackwell. In lieu of playing a character with a specific everyday problem as was customary for later segments, Kareem instead just gives the audience a straightforward documentary-style tour of the STOMP stage show in New York City. This was supposedly the first For Real segment filmed, and neither Bianca nor Harry had been cast at that point.note This seems to suggest that the recut version of the "The Poddleville Case" was the first episode recorded with the current voice cast for the CyberSquad and Hacker, since the canonical first episode, "Lost My Marbles", prominently features Bianca in its For Real segment.

In "Raising The Bar", Buzz becomes the boss when Hacker suffers Easy Amnesia and seems to revert to a people-pleasing assistant personality. As Delete is unaffected this time, he hates what his friend has become and works to return things to the status quo.

comment
Try as they might, the CyberSquad are never able to get the cure for Motherboard's virus, which is a necessary Plot Device to keep the show going. The debilitating effects of the virus were the reason that Motherboard had to recruit the CyberSquad to help her; and if Motherboard got cured, then she wouldn't need to summon her "Earthlies" to Cyberspace anymore. Although they're increasingly shown already being in Cyberspace for recreation, and uncovering Hacker's scheme by coincidence.

Green Aesop: Some early episodes dabbled in this. The cyberstatic that Hacker spreads in "A Battle of Equals" is openly an allegory for pollution. Come Season 9, environmental lessons are the main focus and played much more realistically, ousting much of the pure-math logic that Cyberspace had previously operated on.

Enemy Mine: Suffering as a result of Hacker and Buzz's Role Swap Plot in "Raising The Bar", Delete plays the Mysterious Informant "Squeaky Throat" to help the CyberSquad. They still seem to assume the worst when they find out it was Delete who was helping them. After she takes down the Portal Network by "accident", Digit has to team up with Wicked in "A Fraction of a Chance" to rescue the Earthlies. Being Wicked, she obviously has ulterior motives, but Digit has no other way to travel around Cyberspace than with her. The final episode of Season 8 has the CyberSquad teaming up with Hacker to defeat Ledge. The CyberSquad also has to team up with the main villains in later episodes like "A Reboot Eve to Remember", "Water Woes", "Hacker Hugs a Tree", and "Living In Disharmony".

This was supposedly the first For Real segment filmed, and neither Bianca nor Harry had been cast at that point.note This seems to suggest that the recut version of the "The Poddleville Case" was the first episode recorded with the current voice cast for the CyberSquad and Hacker, since the canonical first episode, "Lost My Marbles", prominently features Bianca in its For Real segment.

Although they did, they didn't have enough cryoxide to fix Motherboard's cooling system so they tried to ask again, but Inez is concerned that they're going to say no. Matt replies that they won't say no. Cut to Two-Headed Sam saying no.

Alphabet Soup Cans: Pretty much every challenge the CyberSquad faces in the first eight seasons is resolved with basic to intermediate mathematical concepts. It is edutainment, after all. Later seasons downplay this with their focus being more on ecological concepts and environmentalism. Math is still involved, but there's less of a theme for the math problems in a given episode.

Villain Decay: Hacker used to be a Gadgeteer Genius who committed some grand crime Once per Episode. After the show ran for so many years and had the kids defeat Hacker so many times, this was eventually heavily lampshaded. As of Season 8, Hacker is trying to renew his evil image because no one in Cyberspace is afraid of him anymore. The Story Arc involves a humanoid borg named Ledge trying to outsmart him as a villain; Ledge being Hacker's former fan until becoming disillusioned when Hacker dismissed him for his failure.

Moving the Goalposts: When engaging in a skating competition against Hacker in Radopolis, Hacker reveals there's a rule that allows him to change the real arena if he wins a current round. The kids figure out that while the perimeter is the same, the area is smaller after the first two rounds. Jackie bombs her segment, Matt does fairly well despite faceplanting, and Inez eventually realizes that she needs to do small tricks to fit in the arena, getting a full score. They then turn the tables on Hacker and use the rule to make the area even smaller and mess with his last skater.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: After Hacker's first attempt to destroy Motherboard, Dr. Marbles elected to banish him to the Northern Frontier rather than decommission him. This would come back to bite them all back later when Hacker returned with the virus that crippled Motherboard. In "The Snelfu Snafu: Part 1" the group enters an auction to win a copy of the Encryptor Chip that will fix Motherboard's virus. It turns out that the contest was actually set up by Hacker who created a fake Encryptor Chip. Once inserted into Motherboard's computer she is overwritten and replaced by Hacker, allowing him to take over Cyberspace for the first time!

Hacker steals it but can't manage to travel to the time he wants. He returns to the present and tries to bring the machine to the Grim Wreaker, giving the CyberSquad a chance to retrieve Pearl's time machine.

Up the Real Rabbit Hole: Cyberchase For Real seems to be set in a completely different universe from nearly everything else Cyberchase-related, with any references to the main animated show only made within the context of it being a fictional series in-universe. Numerous episodes see the hosts go to the actual Cyberchase website and print off activity sheets that they encourage the viewer to also check out themself, for example, and in "Bianca's Dogged Pursuit", Matt helps Bianca out… as a lifeless plastic figurine on her Cyberchase alarm clock.

Vetinari Job Security: The reason why Motherboard needs Doctor Marbles so badly? He's the only one that can fix her, providing the Ultimate Job Security. Not that this prevents him from being Put on a Bus… In "Out of Sync", the Beast (the drum player from one of the best bands on Mount Olympus) was kidnapped and convinced by Hacker that he'd be better appreciated as a solo act. The rest of the team was already thinking of dumping him, as they didn't think that he added anything to the band. Turned out, he was the most important member, since he seems to be the only one who can keep the rhythm and who plays on every beat (the day's lesson). Without him, the music was awful. The drummer is eventually convinced to come back and he reunites with his bandmates, who finally realize how important he is.

Medium Blending: Most of the characters and props are in Thick-Line 2D, and were cel-shaded until Season 6, which introduced a more automated shading effect. Motherboard, the mathematical objects in the vortex, and the Establishing Shot of Poddleville are all usually rendered in 3D, as is the occasional prop (like the ark in "The Cyberchase Movie"). The backgrounds are nearly always lineless after the early episodes, and use bold texture fills.

Exposed to the Elements: Inez and Jackie. In certain episodes when they travel to very cold or snowy cybersites, both girls are well protected at least from the waist up, but Inez still wears shorts. And if you thought that was bad, Jackie still wears an even tinier skirt, which leaves the majority of her legs open to freezing temperatures! Even Cyber-citizens have this too sometimes.

Foreshadowing: The events of "Hackerized" don't seem so out of the blue when you remember that previous episodes repeatedly demonstrate that the Earthlings can eat and drink various foodstuffs in Cyberspace, and thus can be affected by substances the same as any Cybercitizen. It's just that they've dodged being affected by transformative powers before, aside from the odd Shrink Ray.

Leitmotif

comment
Leitmotif: Listen for a soft techno beat when the kids go into educational mode. The extended, more synth-heavy version that is used occasionally is somewhat reminiscent of the Microsoft Windows XP setup tune. The victory theme. Crisis Zone. Buzz and Delete's theme, a fittingly bumbling chromatic string melody over techno drum beats. An orchestral piece that sounds similar to the theme from Jaws is used in almost every episode whenever the kids are in danger or are being chased by villains. This is likely stock music, as it was also heard in a few episodes of Arthur.

The initial arc involved the kids trying to retrieve a new and rare Encryptor Chip (a device of Motherboard's destroyed by Hacker's virus, that would enable her to completely recover), culminating in "The Snelfu Snafu" two-parter. Since it spanned the entirety of the show's first Nelvana/WNET run, it can be considered a Myth Arc.

Status Quo Is God
 Cyberchase / int_a6e8221e
comment
Status Quo Is God: Try as they might, the CyberSquad are never able to get the cure for Motherboard's virus, which is a necessary Plot Device to keep the show going. The debilitating effects of the virus were the reason that Motherboard had to recruit the CyberSquad to help her; and if Motherboard got cured, then she wouldn't need to summon her "Earthlies" to Cyberspace anymore. Although they're increasingly shown already being in Cyberspace for recreation, and uncovering Hacker's scheme by coincidence. Immediately after major events (like Hacker taking control from Motherboard for a time), everything goes straight back to the kids foiling Hacker's plans. In addition, Hacker's been the recipient of any number of misfortunes following the destruction of his plans - he's suffered potent viruses, been blasted off into Cyberspace, even bewitched good by Wicked - yet at the beginning of each new episode, he's somehow exactly back to normal.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: This was downplayed in "Starlight Night" when The Hacker intended to sabotage the Starlight Night celebration, where the stars of Cyberspace are refreshed and relighted for the new Cyber year. He successfully sabotages the production of the new star circuit boards. After that, he takes over the position of the Grand Marshall or the parade. This means that he will be the one to flip the switch that is supposed to relight the stars at the end. Assuming his sabotage was successful, the action of the flipping the switch will cause the stars to go dark forever. However, the CyberSquad manages to get the circuit boards produced and installed just in time. Therefore, when The Hacker flips the switch, he ensures that the stars in Cyberspace are successfully relighted.

Convection, Schmonvection: The characters get very close to lava on several occasions. They are in a computer world; maybe it's supposed to be video-game lava? In "A Perfect Fit", standing on a buoyant tesselating tile bridge is enough to cut off the heat. Digit even gets splashed with a few droplets as a quick gag. Multiple episodes involve entering lava-filled volcanoes. Sometimes the characters bother wearing protective gear, but there's no time for Digit to do even that in "The Snelfu Snafu: Part 2", for example.

Inflating Body Gag: "On the Line" tries to play this somewhat seriously, with Hacker transforming himself into a floating balloon to slip into Motherboard Control Central. He deflates when the transformation is reversed.

Forced Transformation
 Cyberchase / int_b97a2fa7
comment
Forced Transformation: Though always eventually undone, there are many examples. Wicked is implied to have turned the prince of Pompadoria into a raven. On-screen, she turns Hacker into a porcupine and a crow, and Sorcerer Abernathy into a firefly. Hacker's schemes at Frogsnorts have also leveraged magic to turn Professor Stumblesnore into a salamander and a mouse. The most extreme example comes from "The Fairy Borg Father". Delete makes a wish that turns everyone in Cyberspace, except for himself and Zanko, into bunnies. The Earthlies are also unaffected since they were in the real world at the time.

Incredible Shrinking Man: The heroes are shrunk down via Shrink Ray in "Inside Hacker", "Soil Turmoil", and "The Lilting Loons", and due to one of Zorgon the Evil Wizard's potions in the novel, Cyberchase: The Search for the Power Orb. Hacker has also been affected by a shrink ray in "Trading Places", and this trope is one of the ways Wicked has gotten revenge on him.

A Rotten Time to Revert: In "Measure for Measure", the Hacker becomes a giant robot thanks to his transformation machine and tries to lift a castle. However, the CyberSquad manage to reverse the effect, and the Hacker is reverted to normal while he's still holding the castle, resulting in him being crushed under it - though he survives and vows to return.

Stock Audio Clip
 Cyberchase / int_bf58b6f5
comment
Stock Audio Clip: A clip of Hacker screaming ("YAAAAHHHH!") is used several times in the early seasons. Inez's gasp. It is even used in the introduction segment before the show's funding credits. Inez's giggle from "R-Fair City" (when catching Hacker trying to cheat at a carnival game) is re-used in several subsequent episodes. In "A Battle of Equals", a glitched Motherboard speaks only in scattered words sampled from dialogue from other episodes ("Hacker alert! Find... Find... Find..."). Several characters have small grunts and laughs that are frequently re-used. It's particularly obvious with Buzz for a few seasons after his voice actor changed, but his stock audio didn't.

Pilot
 Cyberchase / int_c3943bf3
comment
Pilot: "The Poddleville Case" was created as the series pilot in 1999, evident from having different character designs and music from the rest of the series. The 1999 version was found and released on the Internet Archive in 2021, and still has some differences from the version that aired as part of the series in 2002, including: The show's logo was different originally. In the original version of the episode, everyone had a different voice actor. Jackie serves as the narrator during the pilot, presenting the episode like it was a flashback. Additionally, two scenes at the beginning and end of the episode featuring her were removed, the opening one shows her about to make breakfast before being summoned to Cyberspace, and the closing one shows her resuming her breakfast and deciding she'd rather have cereal than eggs. Certain lines were redone, removed, or added between the original version and the aired version. Notably, the power pods are always referred to as "eggs" in the original, drawing a parallel to Jackie's Framing Device where she makes breakfast on Earth. The portal sequence was redone between the original and aired versions to have it look more like the one used in other episodes. Motherboard looked completely different in the original version, more like a sine wave with floating blue eyes. The aired version uses her final design. New scrolling sequences were added in the aired version, possibly to compensate for time lost when certain scenes were removed. Since Digit was added later in the show's production, he doesn't appear in either version. However, the aired version has Inez mentioning his absence. Certain scenes were digitally redone in the aired version.

comment
Series Continuity Error: "Past Perfect Prediction" reveals that Slider's missing father, Coop was betrayed by The Hacker and poisoned with magnetite. This led him to flee without telling Slider, while he tried to develop a cure for the magnetite poisoning. "Measure for Measure" takes place immediately after the previous episode, right down to The Hacker observing what the kids were saying at the end of the previous episode. In this episode, Slider is reunited with his father. Then in "A Crinkle in Time", somehow puts the story back to before "Past Perfect Prediction". Slider is alone again and he doesn't know what happened to his father. The Hacker even suggests that he had something to do with Coop's disappearance and that Slider has reason to suspect him. "Hacker Hugs a Tree" is a glaring contradiction to how Hacker's exile was presented in previous material. Where previous flashbacks had him launched away in a cyberpod, with Digit secretly in tow, Hacker is here shown to reach the Northern Frontier alone by portal. Season 12 also introduces Harmony, Hacker's niece, and Bridget, Digit's cousin. They imply that unmentioned relatives were created alongside Hacker and Digit, something never suggested before.

Affectionate Nickname: Jackie has "Jax" (also spelled "Jacks"), Digit is called "Didge" (which extends to Widget as "Widge"), and Slider has "Sly" from his dad. Matt (and Slider and Digit) have "Nezzie" for Inez as much as she hates it being used by anyone who isn't Slider.

No MacGuffin, No Winner: The Encryptor Chip. Because the original Chip has been destroyed by The Hacker's virus on Motherboard, Dr. Marbles has since been desperate in search for a new one. Unfortunately, whenever a new Encryptor Chip shows up, it's always either stolen, lost, or even destroyed in the end. During the most notable of these times in "The Snelfu Snafu", Marbles had to destroy the Chip himself in order to return Motherboard to her rightful place and oust The Hacker's own A.I. from her mainframe.

In a later episode, Hacker programs several personality-themed CPUs for Plantasaurus to be controlled by, and leaves it up to his bumbling henchmen to insert the correct one.

Bag of Holding: Justified, as Cyberspace being some sort of virtual reality means that it doesn't have to follow real physics. Matt's backpack. Not only can all of his possessions somehow fit into it, but so too can whatever measuring tool the CyberSquad needs at the time. Digit himself is an even more egregious example, fitting everything from an oven and cooking supplies to Widget himself just in his chest hatch. It seems that objects in the hatch stop exerting physical forces. A magnet only starts attracting other things from inside once Digit takes it out, and he later struggles to lift a giant weight that was just in there.

Glitch Entity: Cyberstatic is a large amount of electrical energy that can scramble the data that makes up a cybersite and reduces the site to a glitchy mess. In "A Battle of Equals", Hacker reverses the polarity on Dr. Marbles' cyberstatic satellites to infect three cybersites with cyberstatic, infecting Motherboard's Control Central with a far heavier dose. The CyberSquad shuts every satellite down in time to mitigate the damage.

Art Evolution: In Season 5, the final season to use traditional animation, the colors were noticeably brighter. Digit also saw some changes with the design of his mouth for this season only: he was no longer drawn with his rounded buck teeth (though they would occasionally reappear in certain close-up shots), and the inside of his mouth was colored red instead of purple. Both of these changes were reverted when the animation switched to Flash. Inverted in the sixth season and onwards when it transitioned to Flash animation, causing the movements to end up getting rather cheap-looking and stilted. The look of the new puppet-rigged approach has improved slightly since Season 8, but it's still noticeably jankier than when the show was traditionally animated.

Cosmetic Catastrophe: In the segment following "A Perfect Score", Bianca accompanies her friend Natalie to a cheerleading audition. Just before the audition, Bianca thinks Natalie's makeup "could look better", and tries to do her entire face just as the audition is starting. Bianca only has enough time to apply an extreme amount of eye shadow and a big smudge of blush on Natalie's left cheek, which is one of several reasons her audition flops.

Depending on the Writer: Is Hacker's wig gel used for styling his wig or gluing it to his head? Does it come in cubes or a tube? Considering what Hacker's like, this inconsistency might actually make sense. Magnetite’s properties are also rather inconsistent. While we're told the stuff has varying effects on cyber citizens, in at least one episode, it has the effect of making any cyber citizen that isn't Digit fall asleep. However, the Magnetite in that episode was a different color than the Magnetite that first appeared, so Magnetite may come in different varieties.

Dead Hat Shot: Played With in the odds episode, as the Hacker is deceived in this manner.

He winds up getting launched into cyberspace instead as the protagonists watch from a safe distance before admitting they were merely guessing which door would launch the unlucky opener into cyberspace at random.
