Arbitrary Skepticism | |
| Super 4 / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: Gene adamantly insists that ghosts don't exist in a world already including fairies and dragons. Sure, their first two encounters were "Scooby-Doo" Hoaxes, but there are genuine ghosts too, including one prisoner of a vial in Alex's castle. | |

Love Potion | |
| Super 4 / int_14a8974a | comment |
Happens a fair bit to Fourchesac; first of all gaining red eyes due to a Love Potion in "Song of the Stork", and then Shapeshifting into King Kenric (when Alex said "We may as well have two kings then"). | |

Only Six Faces | |
| Super 4 / int_18a84025 | comment |
Only Six Faces: Naturally, since they are Playmobil figures, there is basically Only One Face. The characters are differentiated by clothes, hair, facial hair, eyes and skin color — and nothing else. They have a variety of body types to make up for this, though. | |

| Super 4 / int_2e6a41e0 | comment |
Gratuitous English: The title is Super Four even in the French version. Although the way it's pronounced, it sounds like "Super Forts" (i.e. "Super Strong/Awesome"). In fact, when Twinkle tries to form her own team among her fellow fairies, she calls themselves "Super Fortes" (super [female] strong) in the French dub. | |

Pirate Girl: Ruby the Red. Reared on Pirate Island as a tavern wench, her dream was to join a pirate crew for a long time, but she had trouble imposing herself among the macho pirates. She's as rough and rowdy as any of them, however; don't try to have her play Damsel in Distress or tell her to Stay in the Kitchen if you're not ready for a swordfight. | |

Damsel in Distress | |

Damsel in Distress: This is the whole job of Princess Léonore, Alex's sister. She has dozen of stories to tell her friends about former kidnappings. On the other hand, don't try to put Ruby in this role: she really hates it, and will violently express her disapproval as soon as freed. The pirates once attract the team into a trap by luring them with a "damsel" in distress... in fact a pirate Disguised in Drag. | |

All Your Powers Combined: The Sycronians built a machine that absorb the powers of denizens from the four realms and transfer them to one of them, who becomes better than all the heroes combined, easily besting Alex and Ruby at swordfighting, locking Gene out of the computer system and absorbing Twinkle's spells. Thankfully for the heroes, he also absorbed their weaknesses. | |

Fantastic Racism: A kid-friendly version. Due to each of the four worlds being in separate cultures, they're prone to making stereotypes about each other. This is invoked as part of the conflict in some episodes. | |

Enemy Mine: It has happened very rarely, but the Super 4 have occasionally had to team up with one of the main antagonists as part of a scheme of some sort, or at least had to tolerate each other. The end result is usually that it Goes Horribly Wrong. | |

| Super 4 / int_72cdfc33 | comment |
Big Bad Ensemble: Black Baron and The Colossus, Baba Cara, Sharkbeard, Fourchesac, and Skyronior are the show's main antagonists but are in opposition of each other. Dr. X is usually Obliviously Evil as well. Pretty much all of the antagonists darken the tone of the series whenever they show up to cause trouble, and all of them besides Dr. X (due to causing trouble through incompetence) are played seriously. | |

Status Quo Is God: Invoked for (dark) humor. Twinkle manages to cure the curse she had placed on the Fairy Queen. However, the less-than-grateful queen then tries to inflict the same curse on Twinkle, only for it to bounce off of a mirror and hit her. And all because of (in the Queen's eyes) the mistake Twinkle made in the first place. | |

Berserk Button: Telling Ruby that she should Stay in the Kitchen, or any variation thereof, is a sure way to get into a sword fight. Even invoked by Alex in "The Final Countdown". For Gene, doing anything to the Chameleon. The only time he ever loses his cool is when it gets stolen. The mere sight of Twinkle on the Enchanted Island is this for the Fairy Queen. Even after Twinkle turns her back to normal in one story. Yes, her grudge against Twinkle is that bad.... | |

Character Focus: The show is very focused on Ruby, as most of the episodes revolve around her or her reckless antics as a pirate. | |

Cutting the Knot | |
| Super 4 / int_c2299d6e | comment |
Cutting the Knot: The gang has once to retrieve a precious item from a room where the floor is trapped. Ruby and Gene starts to argue on the best way, Ruby being ready for some daredevil acrobatics while Gene insists on a technological solution. Meanwhile, Twinkle just flies inside the room and retrieve the item. | |

The Magic Touch | |
| Super 4 / int_cb2df71e | comment |
The Magic Touch: Ruby in "The Goose with the Golden Eggs". However, Twinkle lampshades the Blessed with Suck aspect; soon enough, Sharkbeard and the other pirates use her as their titular "golden goose". | |

Hoist by His Own Petard | |
| Super 4 / int_d397657d | comment |
Hoist by His Own Petard: Happens a fair bit to Fourchesac; first of all gaining red eyes due to a Love Potion in "Song of the Stork", and then Shapeshifting into King Kenric (when Alex said "We may as well have two kings then"). This happens to the Fairy Queen after Twinkle turns her back into a fairy. When the Queen tries to turn Twinkle into a frog like she once was, it bounces off a mirror and turns the Queen back into a frog. | |

You Can't Go Home Again | |
| Super 4 / int_da12bcfb | comment |
You Can't Go Home Again: Twinkle finally succeeds in turning the Fairy Queen back into her true self... only for the Queen to be ungrateful, and continue to hold a grudge due to the mistake Twinkle made in the first place. This leads her to try turning Twinkle into the frog she once was. In other words, despite making it right, it didn't make any difference, and as a result, Twinkle is still exiled from her home... | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Super 4 / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: King Kenric, the ruler of Kingsland, is almost always on the side of the heroes even when appearances are against them. It helps that their de facto leader is his son. Inverted by the Fairy Queen, who continues to hold a grudge against Twinkle, even after Twinkle turns the Queen back into a true self. She's shown to be also a pretty terrible boss on the rare occasions when she is not a frog, such as for instance organising a contest to elect the best fairy, only to give the award to herself in the end because "she's the most beautiful". Conversely, the Grand Fairy, who is the wisest and oldest fairy, is almost always on the heroes' side and occasionally comes to Twinkle's defence against the Queen. | |

Call-Forward: In Ruby's origin story, Captain Sharkbeard ponders that they ought to stock their gunpowder in a safer place than the tower at the port's entrance, preferably the volcano. This nearly causes the whole Pirate Island to blow up later. | |

Bewitched Amphibians | |
| Super 4 / int_eaa2b8f8 | comment |
Bewitched Amphibians: The backstory of Twinkle the Fairy is that she got exiled from Enchanted Island for (accidentally) turning the Queen Fairy into a (talking) frog. Attempts to turn her back all fall short thanks to Status Quo Is God. The one time it works, the Queen then tries to punish Twinkle... only to have her spell bounce off a mirror, and back at her, turning her back into a frog. Although Twinkle can't quite be called an Inept Mage, when attempting any other kind of transformations, a mishap most commonly defaults to "turned into frog". Sometimes it's a giant one, though. | |

Translation Train Wreck: The show's second theme tune (with lyrics) is impossible to transcribe due to the female singer's lack of enunciation for certain lyrics, to the point that the subtitles for any broadcasting network get confused as to what is being sung. | |

Evil Twin | |
| Super 4 / int_f2dadf81 | comment |
Evil Twin: Thanks to Dr. X cloning machine, the four human heroes have evil clones, who are just as evil as they are heroic (and coloured as a negative version of the originals). They are also just as hostile toward each other as the heroes are friendly toward another, which severely reduces their efficiency. | |
